Reprint Delver for power, Reckless Waif for limited, Tragic Slip and Ludevic's Abomination for fun.

>What powerlevel of a set are you hoping for?

I want to be able to drop a swamp turn one, tap it to fuel a 1 cost black instant, pay 10 life, and deal 20 damage to target opponent.

If this isn't allowed, I will bitch for 3 solid months about how magic is creatures:the tappening and back in my day playing magic took skill.

Really knowing nothing of the set I can say the following abput it with the most confidence.

>>
>>45087003
>What type of mechanics do you want to see in Shadows over Innistrad /tg/?
Something that's less boring than "lol +1/+1 counters on shit". Hell, bring back wither or persist,

>What reprints do you want to see?
Nighthawk, Pillar of flame, creatures that don't rely on batshit crazy ETB effects (snapcaster+resto was bad enough, they can't allow snapcaster+eldrazi displacer)

>What powerlevel of a set are you hoping for?
Close to old Innistrad. I want actual control decks to be viable, I want janky combo-lite decks to be viable, I want aggro to be viable, I want memerange to be decent enough to try if you're okay going 4 color and risk losing to your manabase.

I'm also smart enough to know we'll see none of those. We'll get undying, Support will become evergreen, and the best reprint we get is thragtusk
>>
>>45087003
One of the following WILL be true:

There will be a 'rebalanced' Delver that costs 2U and enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter if there are three or more instant/sorcery cards in your graveyard.

There will be a 'fixed' Faithless Looting that costs 1R and is discard before draw as Maro intended. If flashback returns this set, the flashback cost will be 4RR.

Werewolves will return with a new mechanic, Lycanthropy X (At the beginning of each player's upkeep, if no spells were cast last turn, put X +1/+1 counters on this creature. Whenever you cast a noncreature, nonplaneswalker spell, remove all +1/+1 counters from this creature.)

The returning mechanic will be Scavenge, and it will be the main graveyard interaction mechanic this set.
>>
>>45088820
Jesus fuck no. No.no.no.

Double sided cards will come back with all new triggers.
>>
>>45088820

The first three are unadulterated bullshit. The fourth I can actually see happening.
>>
>>45088905
as much as I like the idea, it's not gonna happen. It's prohibitively expensive and Wizards has lost too much money recently - they won't get the sign-off from hasbro to underwrite another massive spend like that.
>>
>>45087003
I'd like unearth to come back. I feel there's still cool stuff to do with it, especially if they extend it to white and green as well.

Madness is a cool mechanic, can't go around having that in new Magic sets

Werewolves can only be played with Moonlit mana

>>45087003

I'm expecting a rework of threshold based on that one card from cursed vs blessed, which will be nice.

I'd like to see Madness make a comeback, and honestly I wouldn't mind them doing soulbond again, it's a fun bit of design space. Would be very surprised if they don't have DFC again.

I'd like to see more angel and human tribal support, some legendary werewolves, and a return of the curse subtheme.

Reprints include a variation on Wayward Angel for the "corruption" element, most of the curses, Victim Of The Night.

Hoping for roughly the same level as Innistrad, which was strong but not Mirrodin level strong.
>>
I want Richard Garfield on the design team. He will be able to tell every to shut the fuck up, and we'll get a good limited experience out of it like the first Innistrad. Reprint Cavern of Souls and Liliana of the Veil too for shits. Also the "buddy land" cycle. Of course Wizards would never do this.

A man can dream.

I noticed that on the card. It definitely looks like an ability word like Threshold. I just hope it's used for something better than that card.

>I'd like to see Madness make a comeback, and honestly I wouldn't mind them doing soulbond again, it's a fun bit of design space. Would be very surprised if they don't have DFC again.
Madness and DFC yes, but I doubt we'll see Soulbond. It doesn't really fit with the horror theme of Innistrad. And SOI looks like Innistrad's going to straight to hell.

>I'd like to see more angel and human tribal support, some legendary werewolves, and a return of the curse subtheme.
I doubt the Angel tribal will come up. Maybe Human tribal. The rest, yes.

>Reprints include a variation on Wayward Angel for the "corruption" element, most of the curses, Victim Of The Night.
Ooh, corruption elements would be excellent.

Personally, I'd like to see some cool Horror creatures, maybe Horror tribal. That is if the MTG Salvation synopsis for the set was being literal when it says "nameless horrors lurk in the shadows."
>>
>>45088950
>It's prohibitively expensive

...No it isn't. It isn't feasible to only have one or two DFCs in a set, but there's no issue if they include enough to make up a full printing sheet.

>>
>>45089252

I'm thinking we're going to have a new "Monster" tribe on Innistrad.

If it's super-predictable, it'll be Eldrazi.

If it's smart and doesn't overplay that hand, might be Ashiok bringing Nightmares to the table.

If Ashiok's not around, then yeah, I'd expect Horrors to be added to the mix, although they've always had a little overlap with Demons.

>>45089332

Mostly just that there's been a +1/+1 counter mechanic in every set since Scars, iirc.
>>
>>45089332

They've been a major component of recent previous sets. I don't mind them myself.
>>
>>45089332
because lately it seems like instead of interesting mechanics they just keep putting out variations of putting +1/+1 counters on creatures. That and there hasn't been a -1/-1 block since scars, and it feels overdue.
>>
>>45089349
>If it's smart and doesn't overplay that hand, might be Ashiok bringing Nightmares to the table.
please Ashiok 2.0 modern good
>>
>>45089349
I actually think Ashiok is likely to show up. I'm willing to bet money it won't be eldrazi, though. There will probably be some synergy with colorless cards, but I don't see them using Eldrazi for two straight blocks.
>>
>>45089399

It makes sense. Ashiok is meant to be Jace's evil counterpart, iirc, so this could be an opportunity for the two of them to meet and throw down.

Which leads me to wonder if ALL of the Gatewatch are going to get evil opposite numbers as we go.
>>
>>45089399
I dunno, they never did find Emrakul. I just want to see Sorin again.

>>
>>45087003
>What type of mechanics do you want to see in Shadows over Innistrad /tg/?
Madness, Threshold,
>What reprints do you want to see?
Snapcaster at rare, LotV, Damnation at mythic, really any decent reprints on cards whose prices have gone completely out of control. I don't expect it, but I want to see if they can do it.
>What powerlevel of a set are you hoping for?
Roughly original Innistrad.

>What type of mechanics do you expect
Scavenge, more +1/+1 shit
>What reprints do you expect
Smite the Monstrous, new versions of the Powerpuffs with boring, conditional abilities that are a shadow of their former awesomeness, an Avacyn built as a shitty and highly conditional Control "finisher" that can't even properly protect itself, no "money" reprints
>What powerlevel of a set are you expecting
Complete crap with a few standouts that dominate Standard and may trickle down to the fringes of Modern if there's a deck that wants them
>>
>>45089427
>Which leads me to wonder if ALL of the Gatewatch are going to get evil opposite numbers as we go.
They'll probably just set up existing walkers as antagonists. Let's see, we have...
>Ashiok
>Ob Nixilis
>Tezzeret
>Tibalt
>Vraska
Plus a few other walkers who haven't been in the game proper yet, like Ramaz and some other guys Jace used to hang out with. And, of course, Bolas. Who will probably make a Psycho Rangers version of the Gatewatch soon enough. Probably revive the Infinite Consortium.

Thinking on it some more, we do have a few wildcards
>Garruk

>>45089502
I hope we see them again. And he did note that they were actually pretty popular with fans.
>>
What type of mechanics do you want to see in Shadows over Innistrad /tg/?

Graveyard and Discard (i.e. "Black") mechanics. Madness, Threshold, Flashback, hell I'll even take Scavenge and Hellbent.

What reprints do you want to see?

Blood Moon, Path to Exile, Tarmogoyf, Remand, Kitchen Finks, Thoughtseize.

What powerlevel of a set are you hoping for?

I've been waiting for a set that would return to Time Spiral power levels.
>>
>>45089733

Too good for Standard.

Maro is the record stating he wants to remove Swords/Path effects from White's slice of the color pie and make them Blue.

Show me evidence. I'd try and find it myself but I'm too scared of what I might find. If you don't provide a source I can at least continue to lie to myself and go on believing MaRo isn't THAT horrid.
>>
>>45089818

>And make them blue

Wasn't one of the major points of blue's color pie that it gets counters and bounce and pongify because IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD AT ACTUALLY REMOVING THINGS?

If it gets efficient creature kill that's going to make permission control pretty miserable in any standard that even thinks about giving that decktype anything.
>>
>>45089818
>Maro is the record stating he wants to remove Swords/Path effects from White's slice of the color pie and make them Blue.
[citation needed]
The last time someone made a claim like this, it was to say that Maro was taking tutors from Black and giving them to Blue. So I checked, and one of the most recent posts he had made then was that tutors are definitely Black.

You're misinterpreting what he's saying here. He's saying that he wants to stop letting White just exile stuff without restrictions and move it to Black, which he specifies would only happen in certain sets anyway. He doesn't even specify the kind of tradeoff exile like Path and Swords here.

>Expect
Any mechanic to be gimped to unplayability, fixed reprints which make fun cards boring, a 2/1 for 1w which says "can't" in its rules text, ciptapped duals, a bad griselbrand.

Frankly, I'm not going to be drafting sets that don't have cards that I want to play with. I'm still waiting on a set that's going to make me interested in drafting again.

Didn't they actually consider that? I believe it was a keyword called "Hedronize".

>>45090051
He gave a justification for it later, as he wants to cut down on White's completely unrestricted removal. Which does make sense for the color, as it's supposed to be about taxing and soft answers anyway. Until it has to resort to a boardwipe at least.

It's more like a no to Angelic Edict and yes to Oblivion Strike.

gainlands aren't the reason we have 5c everywhere, fetchlands are. And they are rotating out.

>>45087003

Insanity counters.

Certain events will allow you to place insanity counters on enemy creatures, or activating an ability on your own creature might come at the cost of gaining an insanity counter.

Then, other cards have impact based on the presence or absence of insanity. Such as a creature who cannot be blocked by Insane creatures, or a creature that gains deathtouch as long as it is Insane, or a card that lets you gain control of all creatures with insanity counters on them until end of turn.

Ugin can hose so many decks with his middle ability. If he gets out quickly (which there are Standard decks that can spit him out stupid fast) you get hosed.

Unless you run a Planeswalker kill card he can very well be a scoop condition.

>>
>>45090903
Standard hasn't been fun since Time Spiral rotated out.

All I want from SOI is another Modern-playable angel. I don't think that's too much to ask for. Just one card in a tribe that's a big deal on this plane. Knowing my luck the block will start with all the angels disappearing for no reason.
>>
>>45091148

I'm going to be really annoyed if after the angels finally go back to protecting Innistrad with their full power at the end of AVR, SOI immediately goes "PSYCH! No more angels!" to restore the state we entered Innistrad on last time.

Angels keeping the balance is how things are SUPPOSED to work on the plane. If you yank out that rug Humanity is fucked and the plane is just a more woodsy grixis with nothing living on it but demons, devils, and the undead. You can't have a world that is constantly in a state of apocalypse.
>>
>>45091118

Maybe Sorin never planned on them working against Eldrazi?
>>
>>45091300

Still making a lot of assumptions that it's even gonna BE Eldrazi. That's pretty premature, I'd say.

My money's still on Ashiok.
>>
>>45091296
We just had morph and affinity is never coming back after warping a format as badly as it did.
>>
>>45091329

But we're both agreed on gustcloak right? shit needs to be relevant again.
>>
>>45091300
Eldrazi two blocks in a row would get on my tits even worse than a lack of angels.
>>45091296
Morph just came back, gustcloak would be fun for nostalgia value, and affinity would be fine if it were for ANYTHING but artifacts.

If I ever see the phrase "affinity for artifacts" in standard again I'll quit on the spot.
>>
>>45091366
I didn't know what it was until I looked it up just now, but it does seem really interesting.
>>
>>45091225
They'll probably do something like that because Innistrad was a pretty popular plane, so they'll want to return to it and still have it be "the gothic horror" plane.

Side note, I wish they'd flipped the story of Tarkir around so it had gone "dragon plane" --> "past dragon/wedge plane" --> "wedge plane". Now if we ever go back to Tarkir it'll be "the dragon plane".
>>
>>45091329
We might see Affinity again, just not on artifacts. The problem with Affinity was that it made spells free. Which is really fucking obvious in hindsight.
>>
>>45091399
>Now if we ever go back to Tarkir it'll be "the dragon plane".
At least it means we can go back. If it were the wedge plane, Wizards would never go there again without changing it. Tri-color doesn't have as much design space as Wizards originally thought.
>>
>>45091399

I'm still hoping the reason we go back there is for Revolution of Tarkir.

Humanoids rising up against the scalelords to finish what Yasova started centuries ago.

This sounds like what they're doing.

>Emrakul is the Titan of Corruption, the largest and most fearsome of the Eldrazi. She does not affect unliving matter - rocks, water, etc...but twists all things living, be it plants, animals, or sentient beings. She causes silent terror wherever she soars, embodying desolation, emotional and physical distance, the chill of the void, and the terror of being alone.

>The Emrakul lineage is characterized by fleshlike lattice structures, uneasy bilateral symmetry, and tentacles that end in knobby, vestigial digits. Looking like spongy, alien baleen, the lattice respires independent of the Eldrazi itself, supporting a host of unseen mite-creatures within. Some within this lineage, including Emrakul itself, float above the ground, using unknown powers to alter the surrounding gravity.

You can have affinity for things other than artifacts. Affinity for Basic land types or creature types would be good, but probably not OP if printed on cards that don't have those types.

That said even of there is a lot of design space here you're right that Affinity is never coming back. WotC likes to play it safe.

I'll never understand why so many people want Damnation reprinted. Black isn't exactly hurting for removal. I'd rather see a Wrath of God reprint. Or at least Day of Judgment.

A reprint of the Shadowmoor liege cycle would be cool. Or maybe some geared towards the tribes in the set. A black/red vampire horror. Gives +1/+1 to all black and red creatures you control. Whenever you cast a red spell target creature you control gains haste or trample, and whenever you cast a black spell, target creature gains lifelink or deathtouch.

Speaking of b/r, I'd like to see a reprint of Terminate.

>>
>legacy threads are kill
>>
>>45093899

He runs Magic's R&D. The problem with control is that it is very all or nothing. A control deck either totally locks shit down, or doesn't do jack shit. So what control players want for control to be 'viable' translates to what other deck archetypes consider 'broken'.

Any control deck that folds to getting punched in the face by creatures is a shitty control deck. Therefore, a good control deck is one that consistently blows creature decks the fuck out.

This is good for control deck, but really bad for the meta in general when it actually happens. Because 80% of the cards in the game are either creatures or there to effect creatures, so making them irrelevant means something went terribly terribly wrong with the design of the meta.
>>
>>45094759

You're not going to see the traditional old school control decks ever again. Spells have been for a massive amount of magic's history way too strong. 2 mana instants could kill 8 mana creatures.

They're trying to swing it back to a 50/50, spells like Grasp of Darkness and Immolating Glare are the best examples for the new norm of cheap removal.

Heh. I was more thinking a dark confidant that only pings you for one, and you don't have to remove the card.

If they ever bring infect or poison back, what do folks think about a black tutor that gives you poison counters?
>>
>>45095884
The problem with a tutor that gives you poison counters is that against 90% of decks it will not be a drawback at all unless it was something like "you get 10 poison counters at the end of your next turn".

No way bro, Karn is tied up with a completely different storyline, they're not bring him in to randomly show up at the end of a completely different multi-set storyline

Way more likely is Lilliana, she's due for a card since the other four mono-walkers got a card already AND she and Jace have a unfinished side-story.
Lilliana laments not following Jace and getting his help and Jace keeps thinking about what she's up two and refers to Innistrad as "one of Lilliana's old haunts".

I'd love to see something that could bring me back to the game. The recent sets haven't done the trick.

I'd like to see threshold back, but it would probably need a mechanic like flashback in the block to keep things interesting. Madness could be cool, as well as the horrors from Torment.

Really, Odyssey 2.0 on gothic horror plane would be neat. So long as there are no eldrazi. That shit's stupid.

something like
"Phyrexian Tutelage
B(phi-B)(phi-B)
Search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. You get a Compleation counter. Whenever you cast a spell or at the beginning of your end step, you get two poison counters."

with some flavor text about regardless of when you're learning forbidden knowledge from Phyrexia, it's not the knowledge planeswalkers fear or something

if you really wanted to push it, you could make it 3phi-B or get the card in your hand instead, but that'd be so broken it'd make anyone puke in horror

It'd be like a defensive double strike that would allow for lower cost / higher strength creatures than the same creature with double strike would normally have. It'd probably be featured on high toughness creatures that can survive to deal damage the second time, which means we'd probably see this ability in White and Green.

Actually, I'd like to see a few mechanics focused on how combat damage is dealt in a future set.

>Parry

>Used for creatures with equal P/T that would die to First / Double Strike otherwise. Seen in Black & Green.

>Deflect
>You may reassign combat damage dealt to this creature to any other creatures blocking alongside it.
>Used for frail, high power creatures, probably alongside other relevant keywords such as Deathtouch. Allows such creatures to be better defensive threats. Found in Black & Blue.

>Dying Blow
>If this creature would be assigned lethal damage during combat, it deals twice as much combat damage.
>For cheap, expendable creatures, 2/1s and the like you want to go with a boom so they take something down with them. Found in Blue & Red.

>United Assault.
>A creature with united assault may attack alongside another creature. They are treated as a single attacker with all the abilities of both creatures. You may choose how combat damage is assigned to them.
>Found in small to mid-sized creatures that want to be able to attack without it being a death sentence due to a larger, more impossing presence on the board that would fuck 'em up otherwise. Found in Red & White.

You don't have to be /pol/ to hate hamfisted pandering.

In fact, you're probably not /pol/ if you hate hamfisted pandering because most Stormfront garbage is pandering to the crowd that's still mad about da joos degeneracy conspiracy

Nissa's a terrible, vapid character whose interesting traits (being elf Hitler) was replaced with generic "friend to all living things isn't Green so in touch with mother nature wow" tripe

>Ultraundying (When this creature dies, if it had +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.)
This would actually be a pretty cool mechanic. It'd work well with the +1/+1 mechanics and would make them interesting to build around.

I do too now, why do I want this so much now?

>>45111308
This might work out well, but Innistrad tied vampires/werewolves up a bit too well. A story arc I hope for is either the Wolfir rebel against humans or the remaining werewolves start to get a bit ballsier, either way the wolf/werewolf tribe needs some support and a legendary for an edh deck

I want more human support, A Champion of the Parish reprint is welcomed for Standard (I own 10 play sets), but I am open to an upgraded Champion of the Parish, or better human token generator, or more cards that play off of human tribal.
>>
>>45111572
I don't think so. Sure, you could make a zombie tribal with him and Ultraundying, but the fact that he's 6cmc means he'd probably have to be relegated to the role of a finisher, which I don't see him doing very well since he dies to removal and doesn't have Undying himself.

Sure, you can circumvent all of this and make a good wincon out of him, but it'd take a lot of building around, which inherently means more combo pieces to achieve victory, which in turn implies a slower, less consistent deck.

Unless you cheat him into play early on, but that's easier said than done.

Still, it'd be very fun to play and he'd definitely see more play in Commander.
>>
>>45111572
>>45114490
PD: actually the best way to exploit a theoretic ultraundying would be the Support mechanic. Lead by Example, Relief Captain and even Gladeheart Cavalry could be used to trigger the abilities of several creatures at once. Combine with Eldrazi Displacer and you've got yourself a pretty killer deck that would look at just about any fatty and laugh its ass off.
>>
>>45103038
I made it U/R because its the most "volatile" color combo. Whenever they meet things generally go boom.

That's what I was trying to capture designing the ability, that brief, powerful flash of a creature before it dies out. Its also a great ability for aggro, which U/R specializes on.
>>
>>45108738
Not really, Parry and Deflect are pretty straightforward, while Dying blow would need better wording even if its pretty clearly just a conditional Double Strike variant.

The only one that may be too complex is United Assault, but that's just because there's no precedent of creatures being able to attack as one. It could still be worked out after some rule research and working out any potential exploits it might allow for.

Scry 1.

Not exactly a cantrip, but it does allow you to get rid of a card you don't have much use for.

Yo, /pfg/. So, I wanna make a wizard for this 4 person campaign. I have a Monk team-mate, who I somehow have to make him decent. Im going against a barbarian, and a sorcerer. We're level 20. Care to help me make a character to whip these guys' asses?

>compound upkeep
"at the beginning of your turn, pay P(1+r/n)^nt mana, where P is the cmc of the card, r is the current interest rate, n is the number of spells you cast last turn, and t is the number of turns this permanent has been on the board.

You want Magic Finance, you got it motherfuckers.
