Yeah, sorry, the 5/7.

The Flash Emerge cards looked about as boss on camera as expected, at the LRR Pre-Pre-Release. Flash Hexproof 5/9 fucks up some combats. Tamiyo incredibly brutal in sealed, as expected, since sealed is largely creatures bashing into each other, the format that best synergizes with her.

Pretty sure blizzard just figures anyone still playing PTR after WoD isn't going to cancel their sub for any reason anyway, so best to appeal to new/returning players with the streamlined, flavor-not-mechanics-focused specs.

It was kind of depressing to see the number of respected magic pros they got on their design team... and all they made was a magic knock-off, adapted to the realities of video-gaming (can't have the complex timing interaction set-up magic requires and flow well). Still, of the free to play...

The momentary delay can actually be helpful for Feral, since it takes them several seconds to get the 5-point savage roar into Blood Talons Heal into the window for their snapshotting 5-point rip (If you're going with Savage Roar).

Sabertooth helps, and it's also probably the best DPS talent in its row with proper snapshotting. Lets you ignore Rip as long as you can maintain time-on-target, and it lets you keep your ridiculous initial trinkets+pots+heroes Rip rolling as long as the boss is available.

If my Serra Sanctums/Cradles go up over $200 I have 0 compunctions against selling that shit and just buying some $3 4th Wave Black Core counterfeits to replace them in my EDH decks. Not like I'm going to play Legacy Elves in a tournament anytime ever.

I would say most classes' "fun" isn't balanced around a complete artifact. Most artifacts are shitty +MOAR PASSIVE DPS/HPS the whole way through their tree, as you'd expect from them needing to crank out 37 of the things. There are a few specs where artifact nodes you get further in are very...

Started playing this game yesterday, is there anything particularly important to prioritize picking up from the Holiday event before it ends tomorrow? Picked it up when I saw the Cap'n'IronMan Package for 2.99, and grabbed Cyclops as my starter.

I like how every time one of these buy-outs happens, mtg finance's first responses are "IT'S NOT A BUYOUT, IT'S A NATURAL PRICE ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DEMAND AND COMMUNITY ORDERING PATTERNS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING" Followed by guy posting video bragging about it being a targeted buyout.

Seems like a system that will succeed at making horrible players total social pariahs, since the group-wipes they cause will actually cost folks money

6th Edition Basics baby. Get that lemon-juice in their eyes.

Healer damage is much higher than it has been in the past. It's still slower than single-target questing (DPS), or aoe grinding/questing (Tank), but it's not the "DEAR GOD WHY" it's been in the past. If you have enough bag space for your artifact power consumeables, it's probably better to...

This is an sweet Planeswalker to Doubling Season Omniscience AND Ancestral Recall AND Still alive with 1 counter? Yes please. God I love that derpy deck.

I mean, Blizzard's intention with disc is that instead of being 0%DPS/100% healing, you're ~60%DPS//~60% Healing, so I'd expect to fail both kinds of training grounds if the spec is working correctly.

Your decks don't need to be particularly tight when you're all cheating your asses off

I mean, you also had Force of Will half of illusions+donate's legality. This is obviously going to be nowhere near as powerful of a deck, on any axis. You have weaker donate targets, a weaker base color for the donate, and weaker support cards. But the FNM Fun? Priceless. Imma run...

Anyone can succeed when competent! It takes a real hero to slog through one's own overwhelming incompetence and come out a winner!

Yeah, just wanted to get to the 13 for Innistrad flavorAnd double-harness stacks with these things will probably result in a judge-call at some point.

They're also granting full expansion flags for subbing for a month during this.

Harness the Storm forces them onto the stack when the Harness Trigger resolves (should you elect to perform its "may" effect). It isn't a "you may cast that spell from your graveyard this turn" effect, it's a "YOU CAST THIS NOW DAWG" trigger; these set-ups are not the common form of this...

Correct. If you have 3 Take Inventory in your graveyard, and 3 harness the storm in play: 1) Cast Take Inventory #4, put it on the stack. 2) Put 3 Harness the Storm triggers on the stack targeting 3 different copies of Take Inventory in your Graveyard. 3) Both players pass priority. 4)...

After hearing their talk post-Titan, I doubt we'll be seeing another MMO out of them.

The bad Remand is essentially "pushed" blue design, at least compared to what they've been doing with Blue counters since Mana Leak reprint burned them hard.

We don't need to leave Azeroth, we need to go Underground! Find out what those Kobolds are so afraid of the dark for.

But what if you can run at full speed on the ocean floor?!?!!?

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet The Big Furry Monster Mechanic Lives!

The original ghost busters theme probably accounts for like 20% of the total songs played at Roller Skating Rinks over the last 20-30 years.

It doesn't help that for the majority of the beta patches, most of their buttons other than the one "builder" and one "spender" were mathematically DPS losses to press. But hey, all those oldschool SS+Evisc Rogues needed a home...

Picked up Endless Legend at 66% off, even though I never hear anyone talk about it. Just need something to fill the gap between CIV V achievement farming and whatever Expansion makes Civ VI not suck.

She makes me wish Winter Orb were around.

But at least we have the Youtube Videos.

"Surprise Dungeon" sounds pretty rapey.

My brother traded for and destroyed like 40 Moats when we were younger. He hated that card with a passion. Had a binder full of Moat-Shreds.

Finally get the Legendary Werewolf... and it's meh as hell. I mean, it will completely one-sidedly destroy limited games, but it does basically nothing for the casual tribal enthusiasts (EDH and otherwise) that were clamoring for it. No synergy, no boost to the playstyle, just another random...

28, as god intended.

My new Modern FNM deck, because life finds a way: Artifacts: 4 4 Shrine of Burning Rage Creatures: 8 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 4 Emrakul, the Promised End Enchantments: 4 4 Seal of Flame Instants: 8 4 Fiery Temper 4 Tarfire Planeswalkers: 6 2 Nahiri, the Harbinger 4 Tibalt, the...

I'm just sad that we finally get a setting that is INTENTIONALLY full of ropey-flesh/muscle monsters, and no Ron Spencer art! The man needs more cards to sign, there's only like 15 unsigned copies of his artwork left in the world.

Yep, transitional periods are awkward.
