Fuck you pre-release.

Nice, you're halfway to a complete playset!

>>44848594
on a serious note, it does make me 1/2 tempted to get a play set of the date stamped ones and try to make something of it.

>>44848620
you might as well. I'm sure other people who only got one promo would be getting rig of theirs

What is turn 2 win without playing any cards? /s

Pregame: Go second, [Serum Powder] -> exile [Hedron Alignment]
Opponents Turn 1: Do nothing
Turn 1: Draw, play no cards, discard [Hedron Alignemnt] at end of turn
Opponents Turn 2: Opponent plays [Show and Tell], cheat [Hedron Alignment] (they probably cheat [Emrakul, the Aeons Torn] or something)
(*probably* Opponents Turn 3: Do nothing)
Turn 2: Reveal your hand during your upkeep, win

>>44848692
That would be pretty bad in doomsday, you need to either pass the turn or play time walk

>>44851067
>What is turn 2 win without playing any cards? /s
A wishful thinking, I'd rather use it as a side against painter deck.

>>44851159
Why would it be good against painter? just play 1 eldrazi if you keep losing to painter

Hence the "/s". It's a joke.
Laugh, bastard.

>If they don't you're out 3 mana and a card

>>44851207
You still need 1 in play. Running 4 slots against a fringe deck doesnt seem as good as playing 1 card that shuts down their kill. But if we want to magical christmas land, sure why not!

>>44848594
If that card was (U), maybe even (2), it might almost be playable!

I don't think you can have enchantment costing generic mana only, they have to be colored or "true colorless".

>>44848541
This reminds me of the Worldwake pre-release. I got three Quest for Ula's Temples. One was foil.

>>44851067
looks pretty good, what about serum visions in this deck? is this modern or legacy/vintage

I wouldn't mind trying to make something like this if it was modern.

got quite a few of the things already and nearly a full set of PoE and visions FNM promos
got my thought seizes, but missing a chunk of the other stuff, lots of it seems like it would be easy to collect too.

Pic related.
>"true colorless"
If something has no colored mana costs it's colorless.
If something has rules text that says it's colorless, it's colorless.
That's it.
Generic mana costs and Colorless mana costs are irrelevant.

>>44851786 Modern, hence shock lands.
The deck probably needs some adjustments, but if you try it out as is I would love to hear how it goes.

fucking maro man
Someone on his tumblr complained about how they got hedron alignments and it ruined their prerelease.

Maro says trade them
No one fucking wants them

>>44848541
I went to two prereleases. I got exceedingly lucky in the first one and did better than I though I would getting carried to victory by promo Nissa and woodland wanderer.

At the second, I got promo remorseless punishment, I pulled 4 rare nonbasic lands and a bunch of equiment support, but no equipment at all. Also got zero bombs, zero removal, zero tempo, and my largest creature was a 5/4. Nothing but colorless mana dorks and nothing to spend the mana on.

>>44851925
Is it just me ore Is hedron alignment just an extremely unlikely YGO exodia?

I was >>44851789 and >>44851868, that was me fixing a typo in >>44851789
I wasn't meaning to invalidate any of my other lines.

Also, no longer has rules text.
Kobolds of Kher Keep has been retconned to have a Red Color Indicator.
You can buff them with Muraganda Petroglyphs and everything.


>>44851301
There is no gif for this anywhere, and it turns out making gifs is a huge pain.
So here's a 6 second youtube clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NDGaxVV0h4

>>44851888 >>44852094 In hindsight, I should have mentioned color indicators in >>44851789
"If something has a Color Indicator it's not colorless."
Boom, done.

>>>44851539 "true colorless"
Thinking back on this, here's a slightly response.

Colorless is essentially shorthand for "has no color". (rule(s) 105.2 and 105.2c)
Objects have no color by default, but acquire colors from any of their color sharing characteristics. (casting costs,color indicators,rules text, etc)
If a card has *any* colors, it is not colorless; because it has color.

Expanding on this slightly, the Devoid mechanic exists in a world that already has Color Indicators because colors are additive.
A "colorless Color Indicator" wouldn't remove existing colors, so colored objects with colorless Color Indicators would not be colorless.
(OK, and also because together rules 204.1 and 105.1 make colorless color indicators an illegal characteristic; but it's still a nice example)

>>44851925
Oh hey that was me, i think. I also pulled three oaths so i was super salty.

>>44852727

Am i the only one who thinks, that this retroactive errata of anus mana is going to lead to far more time wasting than its meant to solve?

I will literally have to explain to retards that all my artifact mana sources produce anus mana every damn time i play casually, when most if not all mtg players every bother with the difference between generic and colorless differentiation

>>44848541
Reminder that Hedron Alignment is a card from a custom card thread on here about a year and a half ago.

>>44855656
That makes sense, Alignment is so shitty I would believe you if you told me it's a custom card

>First time I don't go to a prerelease in years
>Didn't pull shit
Feel nice

>>44855685
It was called Dimensional Anchor. A 3 mana artifact that only had the trigger.

Actually it was on the great designer search 2 in 2008

>>44855769
The joke here is that it's not well designed at all.

>>44848541
I got Tazri in the first one and Munda's Vanguard in the second.
It's like my pack told me to play allies. I did and it was fine.

By the way, I didn't expect cohort to actually work. Even Drana's Chosen far exceed my expectations.
Eldrazi Displacer performed very well too, but that was to be expected.

>>44855761
I'm so glad I didn't go to prerelease

>>44855761
I sat across from a guy that opened Chandra, Nissa, and a wasteland expedition from prize boosters.

>>44855779
Well that's a bit unfair, it's a cute card that you can build an entire deck around.

Its problem is that it shows the big flaws in the prerelease promo system they have. I think they need a pool of rates/mythics that become promos so you still have the variance but not the huge disappointment of having an unplayable promo

I thought I wouldn't get anything but I ultimately pulled out a Kiora out of nowhere.
Actually I had completely forget she was in zendikar until then.

>>44851301
Can someone explain the diamond mana symbol in costs?

Does it have to be paid with strictly colorless mana?

What is the difference between 8C and 7CC?

>>44856067
Diamond in cost has to be paid with colorless, otherwise business as usual. Instead of (number) we have x amount of diamonds.

>>44856084
So we can actually have X1C?

>>44856093
The generic mana symbol is now used exclusively in costs. So yeah. It'd be weird, though.

>>44855761
How does it feel to die on the inside?

>>44855656
Hedron is a fine build-around-me card for casual. It's good to have cards like that in the game. It's just unfortunate how it ended up as a promo for so many people and being in a terrible set along with a bunch of other really awful rares. So instead of getting five playable rares and a Hedron in your pool you get a shit sundae of five unplayable rares with a Hedron cherry on top.

>>>44855591 I will literally have to explain to retards that all my artifact mana sources produce anus mana every damn time i play casually
You'll only have to do thin if your running colorless costs.
And they had already errata'd colorless mana iconography back in Odyssey, so there's clear evidence that people will adjust with time.
>>44856093 ...yes?
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask based on >>44856084's poor wording.
(X)(1)(C) would have to be paid with 1 colorless mana, 1 mana of any color, and X mana of any color.
>Instead of (number) we have x amount of diamonds.
What this is trying to say is that a 4 CMC mana cost with 2 colorless mana in it's cost would read (2)(C)(C) and that if a source were to add 7 colorless mana to your mana pool it would read (C)(C)(C)(C)(C)(C)(C). It's *not* implicating an (X) in the cost. If an (X) were part of the cost the card would read: "Spend only colorless mana on X.
And one final note; it's not diamonds, it's anuses; and don't let anyone tell you different!

>>44855761
to be fair, the oaths are are playable just as sorceries for their etb effects.

If you are entirely leaning on the power of the rares in your sealed pool, you are doing it wrong.

This set more than others previous has really brought value commons and uncommons into the spotlight. In fact I went 4-0 at my prerelease and only played 2 of my 7 rares (one was a land).

gifts unforgiven and relic of progenitis should do you fine.

>>44856037
I feel like that's exactly what they need to do. You want variance, but it should be from a select pool instead of every single rare in the set. I remember RTR did something similar, but even then they still had problems; I remember being salty that my "secret ally" rare at the Dragon's Maze prerelease was a Counterflux, since it's essentially just a harder-to-cast Cancel in limited.

My pulls from the weekend. I also had an Oath of Chandra in my participation pack. Nothing huge but ok value in this box.

>>44848541
why the fuck isn't Hedron Alignment legendary?

>>44863933
Because then you wouldn't have to work to put one in the grave.

Also because the effect isn't remotely legendary.
