because it's a crappy card.

It's at Uncommon though, and with what I'm imagining will be in the set (Flickerwisp fits right into the "UW Blink Strategy") going Turn 3 Wisp into Turn 4 this targetting Wisp is 2 Blinks(Wisp x2) stapled to a Draw 3 Discard 1 and a 3/1 Flier. That's not that bad.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Death's Shadow would be an oddly timely reprint if they did it.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Terminate

right after they printed a card that replaces Terminate

 

[Santiako]

Terminate is still top notch removal though. New art is sweet, looks like it's killing a Sun Titan.

 

[charlequin]

Very strange that he's refusing to show the artwork....

No, it's totally normal; no one's ever seen it because Richard specifically asked no one to photograph or share it online. The guy has the chain of ownership back to the original vouching for legitimacy, which is ultimately all that's important.

 

[traveler]

No objection here. Something's gotta kill Tasigur and Eldrazi.

It was a commonly played Modern card until Aether Revolt came out though.

Most Jund and Grixis decks still play some number of terminates. You gotta kill those Primeval Titans, Wurmcoils and Eldrazi somehow.

That's why Answer players play Esper: Path+Push+Anguished Unmaking, all with the best draw in the format.

Spoiler

The joke is that Esper has the worst creatures, because no sane player is going to run anything but Snapcaster And maybe Tasigur.Add this to the lack of ways to hit face and you've got a mess

Wait why?

 

[Yeef]

 

[traveler]

Wait why?

It's dominating modern, in so far as a single deck can, right now.

 

[Ashodin]

Why is the symbol a samurai helmet's horns?

 

[ElyrionX]

Wait they reprinted fetches in MM? Wtf?

 

[ElyrionX]

Wait again. The print run for MM is unlimited now?

 

[OnPoint]

Oh dear I misread it as 'oddly timed'. Nvm. Move along lol

Wait again. The print run for MM is unlimited now?

Where are you seeing this?

 

[Wulfric]

This definitely not the case. In fact there's literally tons of product still on TCGPlayer for $40 less than retail price.

We just have confirmation of 6 bomb ass rares, plus Snappy.

Loving that Terminate, btw. Might have to spring on a Japanese box for the fetches. Mmm... Japanese fetches.

 

[bigkrev]

It's not unlimited, but it's going to be a lot higher than previous Modern Masters

 

[ElyrionX]

Umm so you're saying there's lots of supply of MM17 at below retail right now? Doesn't this corroborate the rumour that the print run is unlimited rather than invalidate it?

 

[Angry Grimace]

not cool enough for anyone to have posted

Not sure how Koth couldn't get a reprint but this sad sack did

It's just such a tone-deaf reprint. I'd love if they snuck him in with plans to somehow make him super playable in Modern and we just haven't seen how yet in one of the upcoming Standard sets, but I don't think they have the gumption or wherewithal to do that.

 

[Santiako]

Molten Rain also at uncommon.

 

[Yeef]

I like the new art for Molten Rain.

We already knew about Domri because he's on the packaging.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Harmonize
Sorcery
Draw three cards.

 

[Santiako]

That was just reprinted in Eternal Masters. Odd.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I guess that's different because they used the art from the original printing and not the one they used in Eternal Masters...

Yep. Nobody posted it though, so I figured I'd do my duty.

 

[y2dvd]

I'll take a foil please.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Still a dollar uncommon.

 

[Ashodin]

next announcement day confirmed for 3/31

Also MaRo denies the fetches were in Amonkhet.

Likely story...

Sure Rosewater, Fetches weren't in Amonkhet, just like you guys totally intended for Green to suck on BFZ Limited.

 

[Tunoku]

I'm on mobile, so I can't post easily all the new previews right now, so here's one of em:

There's also Terminate, Thragtusk, and Primal Command.

 

[red13th]

Jesus so many staples. Thragdaddy (with new create templating) and Venser (with enters the battlefield templating), yes.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Grove of the Burnwillows is OP

https://clips.twitch.tv/WittyIgnorantMinkDoubleRainbow

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Original Venser art is so much better.

 

[red13th]

Original Venser art is so much better.

I agree, it's a shame they used FTV art.

 

[Tunoku]

It's nice to have the FTV art as a non-foil though.

 

[bigkrev]

Hey guys, we reprinted an Invitational card with new art! Hope this is the one you wanted!

 

[Tunoku]

I <3 Ranger of Eos. My first Standard deck was RW Bushwhacker and the Ranger was just gas in that deck. This doesn't change my expectations when it comes to Snapcaster.

 

[Ashodin]

That ranger art is fucking great

 

[Jhriad]

Umm so you're saying there's lots of supply of MM17 at below retail right now? Doesn't this corroborate the rumour that the print run is unlimited rather than invalidate it?

It's a limited print run product. Chatter floating about is that the print run for this set is significantly larger than the previous Masters sets. If the print run is larger, and the product is going directly to stores, rather than a massive chunk being diverted for use in the Vegas weekend Grand Prix like previous years, it would follow that stores would end up with the potential for more product than they could move locally. In addition to the cheaper boxes, another benefit is that a larger percentage of singles from the set are likely to circulate among players initially as you won't have all the GP Vegas vendors soaking up tons of supply with their buylists. A big reason why Tarmogoyf's price stuck so high is that vendors at the GP acted as a stabilizing agent, artificially maintaining high buylists prices to keep it from falling below a certain threshold. It was one of the bigger talking points among the MTG Finance crowd break then.

 

[ironmang]

If I didn't think Mox Opal was legitimately on the fence for bannings I'd pick up Lantern Control to mess around with. It's so much better suited to handle the artifact hate than affinity.

 

[Santiako]

Venser and Ranger of Eos were getting expensive for how little they're played. Great reprints.

And since no one posted the Thragtusk pic:

From what I've heard this guy terrorised standard with Restoration Angel.

 

[Santiako]

Uncommon shard cycle:

Sedraxis Specter downshifted from rare.

And Griselbrand:

 

[kirblar]

I couldn't even remember the card it was replacing in that cycle!

 

[Santiako]

Wow, that is really underpowered compared to the rest.

 

[bigkrev]

LOL, they upshifted Snapcaster to Mythic

 

[The Technomancer]

LOL, they upshifted Snapcaster to Mythic

good lord

 

[Santiako]

Mythic? BOO

 

[bigkrev]

I get really angry when cards printed in the Mythic Era get upshifted to Mythic from Rare

 

[Santiako]

I think this is the first, isn't it? Which sadly means opening a possibility for anything to be upshifted.
