No, it's not.

>>48107977
But innocent blood makes you sacrifice a creature, too, anon. Only geth's verdict in modern is a 2cmc edict with no downside.

Liliana is pretty awkward. Her + doesn't protect her very well but it can make combat tricky for your opponents, and her - is just value. I see her as more of a black-based aggro deck's value engine than the big bad threat most planeswalkers are.

>>48108451

Planeswalkers are casual and fun. Stop wanting everything to be Legacy playable and accept that Wizards considers Vintage/Legacy to be "complete".

Confound only seems plot related because of the flavor text. The gatewatch stuff is at least overtly plot related not just through flavor text. Also, I'm not sure why people think Magic having recurring and identifiable characters is a bad thing. It honestly makes the story more interesting when it's not always a build up of someone and then we get whisked away from them for literal years because we're doing random plane hopping.

>>48109231
like what?

I kind of want to make modern superfriends

>>48108982
I have no doubt that somebody bitched about that in exactly the same way, with exactly the same sentiment as we currently bitch about the Jacetice League.

Somebody has always been bitching about how x bit of distracting tat isn't as special or meaningful or good as previous distracting tat, and how the distracting tat has sold out and has lost sight of what it once was.

Somebody was saying your favourite stuff was shit and lost its way and had become just for noobs etc.

The subject changes but the content stays the same. It has always been like this.

>>48109257
>do you hate yourself as well?
well duh, why else would I devote this much time on perfecting my strategy in a ridiculously expensive cardgame that mostly relies on luck?

Fine, it's half a Barter in Blood. Besides, the self-sac clause is generally useful in the kind of deck that runs Innocent Blood.

>>48109415
Under current rules fucking zero. Remember she is an angel an therefore a mana construct, and has no soul to give a spark to.

>>48109521
Barter in Blood also make you sacrifice a creature(s).

>>48109509

It's a casual card for casual players, if it sees any competitive play I will literally eat my own shit.

>>48109210
Not only by flavor text, but by the art too.

http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Weatherlight_Saga_in_cards

When they said about a new way to tell a history, tell already did it. They just couldn't accept. Now they are trying to emulate the same feel in history telling, but look at the new Gatewatch Card >>48108921. It's just a random battle with two planeswalker attached in and some random flavor text.

I'm not a vorthosian guy, but I enjoyed the old way of Magic. Maybe it's just old guy rant, because the new players seem to enjoy this new tales. I just feel out of place. :<

>>48109415
zero, she's a soulless empty husk of mana

>>48109540

Ob Nix is a demon. But this set already has more 'walkers than usual, no way they'd find space for yet another one.

>>48109545
anon why are you stating the obvious

>>48109557
Ob Nixilis is a guy who turned into a demon, not the same

>-2/-1

Fucking really? It went from acceptable to shit with one toughness. I wouldn't use it. It just does not have enough punch because its sorcery speed. You cant use it as a combat trick and you cant get rid of the pesky token spam this block or the key cards in the other formats as a kill spell.

What it really says is
>+1 target creature probably wont block this combat

>>48109509
Odds of not hitting 2 8-ofs off the top seven presuming you haven't drawn any in 6 turns (12-13 cards drawn so far off 60) aren't too high and Bant PWs lists sometimes ran 10-12 walkers last I checked.

>all these people saying the -2/-1 is bad
Hey, it enables some fucking white weenie hate so I'm cool with it. It's also until your next turn so I feel it can even be compared to Flip Jace +2, which is annoying as hell but she also gives / -1 so it kills the smaller guys.

>>48109805
At least she is more interesting mechanically than all of last set's walkers bar Arlinn, though Tamiyo is quite a bit more interesting, though it can be difficult to judge a 3 mana walker she may end up performing better than we think right now, I mean baby Jace was considered to be shit many at first and while I don't think she is that good she might well be better than we think.

>>48109779
you're right but I also don't really care, I just want a LotV reprint that isn't going to by mythic in Modern Masters 3 and thus be completely inconsequential to LotV's price tag

Just make it the story that she picks up the veil for the final time to fight Emrakul, stakes sure as hell are high enough

>>48109847
>Odds of not hitting 2 8-ofs off the top seven presuming you haven't drawn any in 6 turns (12-13 cards drawn so far off 60)

His hunt has ended. He's now just sitting around as a half-demon with a hedron in his chest.
Since that hedron sealed Ob Nixilis' spark before, it might be that he's not even a planeswalker at the moment.

>>48109969
of course not, that storyline happened before he was even born

This is the biggest problem with them. This right here. They either do to little or cost to much to warrant the slot/s. Or they are just busted and a whole standard revolves around them.

>>48109948
Fine have Elspeth replace Gideon, she is far more interesting than him, then again I sincerely feel that Gideon is the least interesting of the main 5 (though I am sick of Jace being the driving force of the multiverse.) And I'm also not a fan of Nissa so making that switch would make everyone happy, right? (Except those dirty elf lovers)

#JUSTICE4GARRUK

>>48110011
That would be a really shitty character.

I just want one set with no overarching story or connection to anything or anyone already established.

Just a "Hey, this place exists and here's whats going on in it."

>>48109990
it's been signaled pretty hard and I would not be surprised if we see it happen over the course of the next two blocks

If they manage to properly symbolize the good and evil parts of the colors without just making all the evil walkers black I'm fine with it though

>Garruk: RULES OF NATURE
>Tezzeret: making kids cry at FNM

>>48109964
Can they not just reform the Infinite Consortium and not do a five color team?

>>48110092
That hasn't happened since Kamigawa and Kamigawa was a failure.

So what the fuck happened to Sorin and Nahiri? Did they just nope the fuck out after Emrakul appeared? This shit is way too anticlimactic for my tastes.

>>48110092
Those days are behind us, friend :(

>>48110115
this

>>48110092
face it, the majority of players like the jacetice league and having the planeswalkers as the center of the story

>>48110079
It would be realistic though. The biggest thing about the planeswalkers were that they were supposed to learn from their experiences. You start with nothing then as you witness things you start to be able to use them. Just see some mage blow a fucking building up with a fireball? Well now you can too! See an elephant stomp humans to death? Now you can summon the elephant.

I haven't seen any of the core walkers evolve their powers based on whats going on around them at all.

>>48110116
They do battle with each other, completely ignoring Emrakul and the Gatewatch.

>>48110116
they fight, Nahiri demands Sorin guard Innistrad like she was forced to guard Zendikar, Sorin admits he has abandoned Innistrad, Olivia hears this and attacks Sorin.

Nahiri uses this opening to seal Sorin in stone so he is forced to go down with the ship, and then she fucks off.

>>48110115
Kamigawa had more than just that going against it, though.

>>48110142
that isn't how most of the CHARACTER planeswalkers work.

Gideon for instance, cannot summon mana constructs of any kind, lore wise.

>>48110114
no, instead we get the infinite conformium

>>48110150
But then the 5 members of the Gatewatch save Innistrad and kill Emrakul after making it so when she dies she dies for real.

:^)

>>48110178
no, they seal her in the Moon.

>>48110178
Couldn't kill Emrakul. Not enough mana.
They just use the moon as a giga-Helvault.

>>48109779
By the same thought process though shouldn't she be able to do something against Emrakul? This card has 0 ways of dealing with it.

>>48110320
>each opponent sacs a creature
I mean if they play Emmy on an empty board but they would probably just sac a dork otherwise.

>>48110384
Disregard I can't into reading comprehension.

>>48107991

Having too many cards in hand is not a spell or ability an opponent controls. Library of Leng does things this card does not.

So, y'know, just run both.

>>48110384
You do make a point that her oath which could be seen as her coming together with the gatewatch could deal with Emmy.

>>48110011

You want Norin the Wary to awaken as a planeswalker. He could be called Norin the Bewildered. It would be great.

I can actually pinpoint the exact moment MtG started going down the tubes. It was when Rebecca Guay stopped doing art for the basic sets. Look at Alara, look at everything beyond it.

Magic writing has never been amazing, but the Weatherlight stories and characters were far more engaging than the Jacetice League stuff. They had real personalities, faced real threats, and incurred real consequences through their actions.

Christ, look how half of the Weatherlight's crew ended up. Now compare it to this clusterfuck of a story, where everyone acts irrationally and huge threats are swept aside with ease, and the only consequences are reserved for side characters (that are, ironically, more interesting than most of the planeswalkers WotC is pushing).

It feels like whoever is writing now is trying to simulate the high-stakes feel of the Phyrexian stuff, but without ever actually having those stakes really mean anything to to the protagonists.

Pretty much yeah. They did what they had to do, or ratter, what they THINK they had to do. No wonder the mending happened since there was so many instance of time/mana fuckery on Dominaria.

>>48109912
Just like Nissa

>>48109850
It was better when they were folks like Windgrace or Teferi or Freyalise or something, Urza's wacky plans of how we're going make shit for everyone this week was fun too, modern walkers just don't have that zyzz that makes them fun to read about. I also miss stuff like Kamigawa where there were no fucking walkers to disrupt the setting, just plane natives solving their own bloody problems

I kinda want this

I wonder sometime if we are a minority who wants actual threats to the character. I feel the story was more "mature" back then, and main character dying was fine after a while. Sure we have some side character dying but I feel like this generation of Planeswalker are like a bunch of X-Men who can get hurt but not killed, otherwise the "children" would be sad.

>>48111452

Sarkhan is the best 'walker, he's clearly a neckbeard who just wanted his dragon waifu, he didn't ask to be mindraped by Bolas (and then ass-raped, also by Bolas)

>>48110011
That's stupid. You're stupid.

>>48111214
Invasion block had no flavor. One of the lamest sets. I quit Magic for the first time during Invasion block because it was so aggressively stupid.

>>48111262
No. The black planeswalkers were Leshrac and Tevesh Szat. They were both 100% villains, not anti-heroes. That's probably Szat.

>>48111498
>>48110011

Let's just agree that you're BOTH idiots.

>>48111501
But Invasion was one of the best and most loved block of all time. Its also a reason why we got so many gold/multi-color sets at some point, it was just THAT loved.

Well, "love" might be a little much. Especially with a two block structure they're coming on too fast without a middle (even if the middle tended to suffer), and I don't tend to follow the Uncharted Realms because this IS still cheap paperback quality writing, but I like the plot itself. I've enjoyed the overall story since... hell, as far back as original Zendikar. Actually, Tarkir is probably the only one I haven't cared much about, but that's because everything changed so there wasn't really enough time to *have* a plot, other than Sarkhan going "I want my dragons back!"

>>48111191
God, at first glance I wouldn't have recognized that as one of hers. Maybe she'll come back during Return to Lorwyn.

Which will never happen...

>>48111578
Nahiri wasn't "mad" she did what she did with precise calculation.

she wanted Innistrad to suffer like Zendikar did (because face it, SOME PLACE was going to suffer, and it MIGHT AS WELL be innistrad) and she wanted Sorin to have to watch over Emrakul who she intended to Seal away on Innistrad.

she had no intention of destroying Innistrad, she merely wanted it to "bleed like Zendikar Bled" and then force Sorin into the same sort of watch she was forced into.

now, don't get me wrong, this is a pretty dark and "evil" thing to do, but Sorin commited the first sin, so there is that.

>>48111598
Fuck Lorwyn. Let's have Return to Shadowmoor.

Let's have a block that takes place across New Phyrexia, Innistrad, and Shadowmoor. Spooky blocks only.

>>48111578

Well she was only red because MUH VENGEANCE, now she's stiffed Sorin presumably she will return to normal. It would be nice if she stayed crazy as a result of messing with Emrakul but I can't see Wizards having an unambiguously villainous female character, it would be way to problematic.

>>48111578

Wait, who the fuck am I kidding, they'd reveal the changelings were eldrazi and rape the plane.

>>48111668
it isn't really petty, she and Sorin just play a game where the peons hold no value, Sorin would kill a billion Innistradians to protect the plane itself, and he would also doom people of other planes just as quickly.

look, you have to think like someone who is a godly 6 thousand year old being.

a mortal means nothing to someone who has lived that long, you aren't even a fucking eye-blink to them, your fucking dust before they even know you.

Nahiri never cared about the people of Zendikar or Innistrad once she was this old, and neither would you.

Urza lived almost as long and somehow kept a slightly bigger amount of empathy, but not much, so that tells you something.

Urza is Urza. I don't think he's ever black. He's more of the bad side of blue, plus some red and white.

>>48108921
They're piggy backing hardcore off the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this gatewatch stuff. It makes sense to exploit that. the weatherlight saga was doing mostly the same thing with Star Trek

I really hope every block isn't going to be "gatewatch saves the day/tries to save the day every second set" kind of shit though.

>>48111781

Urza's Guilt is black. But yeah, he's AMERICA colors.

>>48111746
I get what you mean, I liked the aesthetic of the Mirage block a lot, same for Tempest/Urza.

Even the Mask story was interesting to a point, but the damn awful mechanics were ruining it.

>>48111781
a FAIR SHARE of Urza cards are black.

Black is his most dominate color tied with blue, he's the most Blue Black character ever.

he's a selfish spiteful hateful little man, if he costed colors it'd be Double Blue, Double Black, and 1 red.

Serra literally says he's got black in him to his face. It's why she asks him to leave the first time around; Serra's Realm was never made to accommodate black mana and he was very slowly poisoning the place.
Urza is extremely blue, moderately red, slightly white, and very slightly black. No green in him at all.

This. Also, Sorin stopped caring about Innistrad when the Markovs died. Now he just wants to fight Nahiri. That's why Olivia got pissed off at him. "Stop being fucking children you shits!" and then Nahiri traps him in stone.
Also, Nahiri does care about the people of Zendikar, but, like, as a collective group.

I don't know why people are so pissed off and calling Nahiri evil when she's throwing peasants at Sorin. That's literally what you as the player do when you play the game.

Which is one of the reasons I love the Sorin/Nahiri conflict. It's literally two planeswalkers acting the way that players do.

>>48111817

Says the Theros plotline. Returned are more like walking bodies i.e. zombies than the living person they used to be. They have no connection to their past selves, no memories, etc. They're soulless and a planeswalker spark resides in the soul.
There's no zombie planeswalkers either and Returned are little more than intelligent zombies.

>Have you not looked through these threads?

It's fine for her to be a villain when she's mad at Sorin, but if she remains a villain, Wizards will get a ton of flak when she loses to a man (Jace and his harem). This is teh world we live in, female villains have to have a completely understandable reason or a hidden good side or it's sexist.

Now that the Jacetice League has bested three eldrazi titans, what threat could they possibly face that could have any sort of dramatic tension?

>>48111852
and? they were mirrors of each other, Urza and Mishra were almost identical in tactics and ideology.

Mishra just got converted to Phyrexia first, and the IDEA they'd fuck with his brother set Urza off on a 5 thousand year crusade,because HE gets to kill his brother damn it.

Urza admires Phyrexia more than anyone, or anything else, this solidifies his allegiance to blue/black/red.

>>48112002
you can use an ability once per turn. You see the +1 and -2 ability, so basically if you use your +1 every turn (starting at 3) well it takes 4 turn to get there.

>>48111891
>>48111928
THat's really what this feels like, yeah. Two oldwalkers duking it out while the neowalkers run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Sure, the oldwalkers have been weakened, but we're still talking about ancient super-mages who make the average neowalkers look like drooling babies. It's like a game of EDH/Commander where two players have thousand dollar decks, and the other four are running prebuilt ones you bought at Walmart.

>>48112002
Extremely. She comes in with a mere 3 loyalty and can only get +1 a turn. That means she has to be on the field for five straight turns to use her -7, without ever being damaged.
Nearly impossible.

It's not a bad +, but it definitely won't protect lili from the stuff black doesn't already have an easy time shutting down.

The - will be awesome in a zombie tribal deck. I might actually need to make a zombie deck now. Wizards is really pushing zombies this set.

The ultimate is another win-more ultimate like always. It also is good for zombie tribal.

Long story short, unlike the veil, last hope lili is only good for tribal zombie. Should be pretty fun still. I might get a play set and make a zombie tribal now.

Very. And it's not incredible, for one more mana in cost you can play something that has a near identical effect. So play it on turn 4 instead of her turn 8

>>48112002
Practically impossible against any half-sane player unless you're heavily locked down the board and are pretty much toying with your opponent.

>>48112014
That's also another thing I'm not a fan of Tribal. Didnt like Onslaught back then, same for Lorwyn. Oh well, cant all be winners for everyone.

He's more blue than anything else.

>>48111840


No. The first time around Serra explicitly tells him he got a white essence.

Xantcha was the one to be black (she was a fucking phyrexian after all), and she had to leave. Urza had in xantcha the first true friend after his brother, and went away with her.

Ok, so following that(because I like the idea of a zombie horde) why is the ability so hard to put out? Is it that powerful?

>>48112042

Yes, they can send creatures to attack the walker, or use burn spells that target players against it. Damage removes loyalty counters, and when it hits 0, it goes to the graveyard.

>>48112042
She's a planewalker (just like you) so basically any card that deal damage/attack you can target her. So yes, she needs to stay alive. Her +1 should help her to stay alive but some creature that blocks might help.

>>48112042
If they ever attack her in combat, or damage you (the player) out of combat, they can opt to have that damage hit Lili removing as many counters as damage is dealt.
She has to not be damaged at all for 5 turns, provided you don't gimmick her loyalty up with things like Doubling Season, The Chain Veil, or Proliferate mechanics, which are all pretty difficult in general.

>>48111735
Creative can't allow evil white pride to taint the inclussive and diverse flavor of Magic: The Gathering anymore. From now on all you will see is pocs and white people dying as they should.

>>48112074

At least two free creatures per turn? Yeah that's powerful. Game winning, even.

>>48111909

Urza goes mad because he cannot close his eyes without seeing mishra, and being wracked by guilt.

He creates Karn to travel back in time and save him, goddamitt.

He admires the Thran, and has a breakdown when he discovers that phyrexia was a thran faction

>>48112011
Gisa and Geralf die :^)

>>48112074
It's an Emblem.
This means once it's fired, there is no way to remove it whatsoever (short of restarting the game). Emblems are the only 100% permanent effect in the game.
And then it's a continuously expanding aggregate of zombies.

>>48112074
It's pretty powerful. If you get it out it puts a clock on the game because of how many god damn zombies you'll constantly shit until one of you dies

>>48112055

In tactics, of course, but Serra said that his essence was white to the core

See, this is the common misconception. Blame the popular culture Disney-fied conception of Fairy tales and Fairies themselves.

I think many of us fans of Llorwyn are fans because it took inspiration from the light and dark themes of Celtic lore and superstition and made it into a pretty interesting setting.

>>48112098
>He admires the Thran, and has a breakdown when he discovers that phyrexia was a thran faction

Eh, Yawgmoth was a Thran, Phyrexia was built by an unknown planeswalker and was just a machine world like Mirrodin before Yawgmoth corrupted it.

>>48112042
Usually you play a Planewalker for the + and - abilitites, providing they are good. Usually the 2 ability provide: resource advante and self-protection. As you can she, she does both.

Getting her ultimate (3rd ability) to go off is doable but at that point you are in control of the game and it helps to just end it. That's how most walker are designed, of course then there is variation.

>>48111957
He didn't form the Nine Titans out of a sense of duty or to unite them. He did it because he needed their power. He included an evil asshole in the group specifically so that the evil asshole would kill one of them so he could use his soul to power a bomb. There's nothing white in that.

>>48112107
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

>>48112074
She costs 1BB and it takes her 4 turns to ult under ideal conditions (i.e. your opponent is having a stroke and/or playing mono U). By turn 6 where her ult goes online you're two B away from casting pic related.

It's just too much effort for a mediocre effect.

So, how cool would it be if an alternate Mishra becomes the lord of New Phyrexia and Karn, his brother's creation, has to stop him on his behalf?

>>48112107

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

>>48112125

That's because Serra admired him and being a whitewalker himself, saw the white in Urza as his core or defining trait and not as secondary to his curiosity, which it was.

>>48112051
>And it's not incredible, for one more mana in cost you can play something that has a near identical effect
Endless Ranks of the Dead doesn't have an unconditional +2 zombie and is an easily destroyed enchantment.

>>48112051
>half the number of zombies rounded down
>near identical to number of zombies +2

>>48112129

Exactly, and Urza discovered that after 3 millennia of planning to kill phyrexia.

He also discovered that Gix, the demon who corrupted his brother, was a thran hero turned to phyrexia

After that point he had to basically admit that the heroes he admired for all his life were also his mortal enemy. That also adds charm to it. They're everything he could dream off, unlimited artifice, yet they're completely evil, and he sees that.

Yawgmoth tempts him with his guilt, not with his hunger or curiosity

>>48109719
>[up to] lets you choose to simply + even if the enemy has no creatures without hurting yourself (unlike everyone discarding).
>reduce the damage of a creature by two before combat to make attacking safer
>finish off a creature who took damage after combat
>send your own creature to the graveyard to trigger effects
Lots of options senpai.

>>48112136

That's certainly debatable, there are ways to manipulate people into helping without putting your own neck on the block like he did, and his defence of Dominaria was motivated as much by his desire to protect innocents from the consequences of his actions as it was by his hatred of Phyrexia. Plus his associations with Serra and Gerrard both suggest an absence of black, since neither of those characters would be best friends with a blackwalker.

MaRo said Urza is Grixis, falvor and mechanics-wise, like his brother.

>>48112183

Well yeah, I mean the Thran themselves did nothing wrong but finding that his main enemies where all Thran was a bit of a headfuck for him.

>>48112189
Gerrard never met Urza, not really, until the fought to the "death" in the Arena.

>>48112213
MaRo can choke on a cock for all I care. He is everything wrong with Magic.

>>48112192
>Realtalk what makes custom card thread so bad.
I've been in a few when I tried to make a custom set to test shit. I must say that most who do that for a hobby dont really play magic anymore and are either out of touch, or completely clueless to balance., Of course not everyone is like that but the few that are terrible seems to spill in other threads.

"Nahiri's old as balls, therefore deliberately killing tens of thousands of innocent people to get revenge on someone being a complete douche doesn't make her a villain." doesn't really hold up.

no one said she isn't a villian, she simply has the proper mindset that a 6 thousand year old being would have about mortals.

they do not matter, they can't, she is beyond your morals, as anyone who lives more than 6 fucking millennia would be.

> not appreciating the concept of killing two birds with one boom

>>48112310
Anon its just like when you work, the higher you are, the more chance that you action will impact people (imagine the board of directors and what not making decision about laying off half the company or some shit). Then tune that power up by 1000x of years and just look at the decision someone in charge of a plane makes.

Same could be applied to military rank or something. Being a planeswalker makes you like a demi-god and so your decisions are reflected by your status.

>>48112310
Sorin would do the same thing.
Mortals are meaningless in the eyes of an oldwalker.
They are not "villains" but they are not heroes either. They are powerful, ancient, and ambiguous.

>>48112329
Sigarda confirmed for best angel

>>48112291

Considering he could have cleansed her madness in his laboratory and killing her let Emrakul into Innistrad, that's pretty much exactly what he did.

>>48112384
Fun fact, both versions of sigarda protect against both versions of emrakul

>>48112388
>killing her let Emrakul into Innistrad
what? what story did I missed?

I thought Avacyn when mad because Emrakul was entering Innistrad or something, aren't the two block simultaneous? I never read any comics or anything and just look at flavor texts and what other anons say...
