It's no Damnation. But it's still cool.

Hah! I knew it! Enemy color hybrid theme in Fate Reforged!
... I probably should have posted my guess here.
Hey man, the scientific consensus supports that many dragons had feathers.
EDIT: Now that's a neat wrath effect.

Anyone know how GB is doing? He's at the Oakland SCG Open, right?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It's no Damnation. But it's still cool.
Its go to make U\B control even more annoying though.
All dragons in the set better have indestructible.

Just play dragons yourself and wrath through them.

Hybrid as a theme again? Fantastic

There will be a special pack at the prerelease called Ugin's Fate which will feature 2 of 40 alternate art (and flavor text) cards from Khans of Tarkir, showing the alternate future, along with a token and a land. I'm not sure if this means those are the only cards or not.
Yes, that first art depicts someone bribing a dragon.
It's no Damnation. But it's still cool.
The set will have how many dragons? At this rate, I'm going to need a second binder for my dragon collection. Hope they can redeem themselves. Scourge was proper shite. Like worse than Prophecy.

I really don't expect Fate Reforged to be too dragon heavy just because they have to save their best stuff for Dragons of Tarkir
So, reading the play-by-play on MTGS, it looks like they also announced that they figured out how to do colorless basic lands. They also said that, going forward, they're going to be more willing to substitute Jace for other blue walkers like Tamiyo.
Fat packs are also going to be changed to cater more towards new players (no details specifics in the thread).

Such a ballsy play by combo to play to springleaf drum.
He really didn't have any other outs. Incredibly smart player.

Also my friend Ivan from Versus Games is wrecking everyone with ascendancy combo. Good on him, dude has been forcing combo in every standard and its finally his time to shine!

Okay, so this Jeskai Heroic Ascendancy deck is basically a Heroic aggro deck that can go infinite with Retraction Helix and Springleaf Drum. That is a sweet deck; it solves a lot of the problems with previous builds where so many of your cards are epic durdles, and it gives you a way to be proactive and get victories in matches where you're just not going to be allowed to combo off.
Bravo sir, bravo. I have to agree - that list is going to change things.

I just watched that Jeskai Heroic deck in action. That is beyond busted. I can't even thing of a good hoser for that thing. Instant speed Supreme Verdict that exiles? For 3 cmc?
Lol. God bless Khans, proving that WotC does still take chances. God this is a glorious environment to be in.

Oh yeah I drew last round in a mirror match unintentionally. Whip mirrors game one take forever.
I was online the last two evenings and no one was online.
Are you sure it's WanderingWind? Your avatar doesn't show up. Grimace does. Nice avatar by the way. Wish I started collecting avatars sooner. Do you guys have spare avatar tokens?

I was just on. I added you today, maybe avatars don't show up until both sides add? Yours didn't show up either. I got in some games with Elyrion, so it's working.

Yeah it was just a line for 9-32 and a line for 33-64.

Psyched - was really rooting for the Combo
Seems like you did well, GB! I assume you had fun time, overall?

That deck is sick. He made it look so easy, but at the same time nobody was prepared for what he was doing at all.

Yeah it was great. Kept a couple slow hands against my worst matchup Abzan aggro around round six which cost me top 8 contention but otherwise I was pretty happy with the deck.Psyched - was really rooting for the Combo

The only changes I've made since so far are swapping the fourth cut for a third banishing light in the main, and the third Doomwake for an Abzan Ascendancy in the side for anti-Elspeth tech.
When I played against Ivan at Versus I told him I wouldn't concede to an infinite unless he swings hard enough to break the scouter lol

It's weird for me to say this, but Ivan's deck make me want to play Standard.
These are the decks he played in the finals
G/B Constellation
G/B Constellation
Abzan Midrange
Not a single deck with counter spells, or early pressure, both of them do nothing until like turn 4 at the earliest.
Let him go against Jeskai with end Hostilitites, and counter magic, or a Temur deck with 4 stubborn denials main. I know i might be biased since I play temur but I feel like I don't know how that deck wins against it. He got really lucky in his matchups, and no one knew how to play the match. I've kept one or 2 back to natures this whole time in my sideboard, and it seems like that card would've destroyed 1/2 of the top 8 (Constellation, and this jeskai ascendency deck just fall away to it).
Not to mention the fact he top decked like 3 times on camera to win the game, one of which he should've lost because he missed his scry trigger and the opponent let him have it, which he top decked spring leaf drum.
Deck won't survive next week. Here are the cards that hose it
Eidolon of Great Revel
Back to Nature
Any cheap counterspell
Anger of the gods
All he played were green/black decks in the finals, and I'm guessing he managed to fade the hard matchups throughout the day. I have a temur deck that could win a tournament if it somehow just managed to avoid R/G monsters and Green devotion.
I really think he just hit the right meta game at the right time.

When I first met him a couple years ago, he shook my hand and said, "I'm Johnny Combo Player" lol
