Actual artifacts or artifact creatures specifically? Does this work on unpiloted vehicles when they get destroyed?

>>49361145
How about a red 1-drop that gives you the option to pay any amount of E to copy it X times?

>>49361190
Actual artifacts due to the lack of "dies." Note that it works with clues.

Sadly, all of the 'benefits for artifacts going in graveyard' cards don't belong to the actual clue colors.

GREMLIN LIVES MATTER
>>
>>49361240
Energy Fireball or Energy Bolt, both are roughly the same thing. One deals X damage where X is the amount of Energy paid when you cast it, the other deals 3 damage copied X times.
>>
>>49361190
Actual artifacts. The damage isn't base on the artifacts power,
it's based on Master of Marionettes power.
>>49361215
"Dies" technically isn't creature specific.
Though in all fairness, it's rarely used outside of that context.

>Note that it works with clues.
It also works with all the Servos floating around.
Including it's own, if you're willing to deal less damage for an extra procs.
(Might be worth while if you have some other way to buff them.)

God fucking dammit. Coppying spells is reds color pie. This is not ok. I mean, this is so overcosted it dosen't really matter, but the principle of the thing.

Also, that costing. Slightly less color dependent, but like... cryptic command shits all over this. At 4 it should be counter AND do something. Or just preface the choice with "draw a card."

Doesn't reanimator typically have to use discard effects in standard? Not every format has access to an entomb variant, and the issue ive heard is that reanimation spells themselves are generally not good not because there aren't fatties to reanimation. It also doesn't have to be non-creature. You can play Gearhulks or that Colossus. Red got that super Tormenting Voice as well as regular Tormenting Voice in standard as well as other stuff like Smuggler's Copter.
>>

For some reason they got an new type instead of being non-artifact Constructs or some shit. Also Servo and Pilot, because type bloat is cool.

Pilot serves a functional purpose. Don't know why they had Servos instead of just Constructs or something though. I kind of get why they didn't make Aetherborn Constructs or Elementals or Golems or whatever. At least they aren't as obviously detracting from an existing tribe as Naga.
>>
>>49363095
You have your answer then. She's immune to sunburns.
>>
>>49363090
Hey, neat, another card to try in Bruna.
>>
>>49363048
Isn't it canon common knowledge that her spark grants her extreme resistance to heat and radiation exposure to complement her pyromancy?
This easily explains her pale appearance in comparison to her non-walker/pyromancer parents.
>>
>>49363138
Heat from fire isn't really the same kind of thing as sunlight. And I don't know if they've ever explained how she has fire resistance. We just kind of buy it.

>>49363048
She's magically immune to fire and heat. I'm just assuming that means she can't get a tan either.
>>
>>49363149
Fire resistance is a basic need for pyromancers or else she's going to need a lot of burn salve every time she does that flaming hand thingie.

Mother fucker cryptic Command is 3 blue which isn't "slightly more color dependant " it's a lot more color dependant

Furthermore copying spells has always been a U and a R ability so idk wtf you're bitching about

This card is guaranteed to see play in the inevitable U/W control deck that's going to top 8 the pro tour screen cap this and the inevitable naysayers so I can taste there tears when it happens
>>
>>49363168
It's a fantasy character. Technically that's true but I'm pretty sure they've never actually explained WHY she's immune. As I said, we just kind of buy it because yeah you'd have to be immune to it and it's not really the kind of thing that drags you out of the world they built.
>>
>>49362555
>strictly worse

You have no idea what that means do you?
>>
>>49363212
Which Gearhulk? Do we just play the red and white ones?
>>
>>49363218
>UW control in the top 8

I hope you're right
>>
>>49363234
You can play any of them. but the black probably makes the biggest swing on turn 4 besides the red one which has some synergy with animator as a strategy as well.
>>
>>49361070
I wish this was one mana cheaper but with some other form of drawback.
>>
>>49363234
red seems pretty fucking good if we're going to do artifact reanimator. take damage to the face and give me more reanimation targets or give me fuel for the discard outlets i'm already playing.
>>
>>49363261
That would be a good spell anon.
>>
>>49363261
I think standard plays summary dismissal so the cost looks bad but it'll probably suffice. it's no cryptic command but not a lot is.

What? Vehicle support? They aren't even consistently "vehicles matter".
Besides, we've had thematic pilot in almost every set, usually as Soldiers or Warriors.

...mate they're mother and daughter

>>49363234
They're all good from the perspective of reanimating them for extra value. I'd say green or black tie into the value grind midrange deck that the reanimate would be played in the best.
>>
>>49363296
Pilot is meant to indicate synergy with vehicles. It doesn't necessarily have to mention vehicles to have synergy with them.

DEEPEST LORE
>>
>>49363307
that doesn't dispel the implication and you know it
>>
>>49363296
pilot serves the same purpose as ability words or keywords like devoid, they give a collection of cards a common term for discussion, putting it in the type line makes it not take up text box real estate. that was one of the perks of tribal, it just had too much other baggage to keep up.
>>
>>49363138
>dark people are born white and get dark because they tan.

I refuse.
>>
>>49363304
there's nothing slready in standard worth getting with refurbish, and the only other reanimation available are the 7 mana rebound spell and landfall angel. it's not enough of a deck to actually go anywhere. br vampires could at least do the thing consistently, the thing just wasn't very competitive.
>>
aetherborns have no game having their own type.
Servos kind of want it because W G love pumping a lot of 1/1 and type is a safely designed way to do it, but calling them myr or constructs or thopters, anything.

in general i hate just adding more and more types to the game, but i definitely like pilot.
>>
>>49363218
Not with what we've seen so far.

Azorius Charm was doing a LOT of work.
>>
>>49363451
myr are mirrodin only and thopters are supposed to have flying
>>
>>49363435
just because kalaesh is thematically based on india doesn't mean it is racially homogenous. Innistrad was based on eastern european myth but had residents of a variety of races.
>>
>>49363451
servos are there because they needed to separate their 1/1 and X/X tokens. they could have done golems, but i guess they wanted to sound more tech and less magi in their typing. aetherborn makes perfect sense as its own type, construct has consistently been used to denote something physically constructed, even if you made a non-artifact construct, the aetherborn are a natural phenomenon, not a hand-built race. elemental or avatar might've worked, but both of those types are so muddy that using either for the marque race in one color is asking for trouble (see: lorwyn where elemental was the red tribe AND the 5 color tribe) i'd rather aetherborn be their own thing instead of radically reimagined vampires or something retarded like that.
>>
>>49363523
at pax didn't they say kaladesh was colonial india minus the colonialism? i.e. heterogenous racially without all the bad feels of two cultures butting heads
>>
>>49363523
So racially inhomogeneous, in fact, that a daughter may not look like her parents. They specifically made Chandra more pale than usual for this card too, which doesn't even begin to make sense.
>>
>>49363542
>servos are there because they needed to separate their 1/1 and X/X tokens
Huh. You're right. Okay. I can accept that. Not him but I didn't like Servo either for the same reason, and Golem doesn't seem correct for little mass produced 1/1 critters.

>U/W control

well her dad was pretty pale. plus she has been on innistrad.
>>
>>49363576
Yep. this is how they married chandra having an indian name while having a steam punk aesthetic and the general desire for magic to have steam punk world. They wanted do colonial India since that brings to mind victorian Britain but they obviously didn't want to incite potential drama with the concept of actual colonialism.
>>
>>49361631
You read that wrong.
Zombify is too good for Standard black. Standard white and green can do whatever the fuck they want.
>>
>>49363647
And that's how Chandra is left with having a steampunk outfit that looks totally out of place in the aetherpunk setting of her home plane.
>>
>>49363602
they could have made 1/1 constructs and x/x golems.
>>
>>49363656
You know Chandra is a planeswalker right? In fact I think she specifically got her current gauntlet (well, she has a new one on Torch of Defiance) from the Izzet in Ravnica. I don't think her outfit is otherwise especially steam-punky besides her goggles which don't necessarily look out of place.
>>
>>49363687
>>49363656
Also it's not creative's fault they gave a red headed white woman an indian name and a mostly generic outfit.
>>
>>49363687
That's Jaya's goggles.
>>
I-is red finally good?
>>
Should I run Jeskai or Grixis? Reanimator seems fun, but I really want that Saheeli Rai abilities in there.
>>
>>49363669
I can't picture Tezzeret making golems, and since the other person who makes x/x constructs is a lifecrafter it feels like it's more correct for it to be more animal like which doesn't feel golem either. I think servo is fine given the circumstances.
>>
>>49363687
i don't think she has ever meaningfully interacted with the izzet before she started staying at jace's place. the gauntlet either came from her pyromancer monestary (they keep goggles as a holy relic, so not outrageous) or uncited planar adventure #23
>>
>>49363656
>>49363687
>>49363710
Also it's not creative's fault that sjws invade this game several years later.
>>
>>49363718
No they aren't. Jaya's goggles are on display at Keral keep (Those are the goggles on Pyromancer's Goggles, not Chandra's). She just coincidentally also had goggles like Jaya.
>>
>>49363722
red has always been good. it is maybe the most consistently powered color.
>>
>>49363731
No, it's definitely from the Izzet. The last time it was referenced I recall is DOTP14.
>>
>>49363718
no they're not, jaya's goggles are a holy relic in the monestary chandra grew up in, chandra's goggles are just goggles, reminiscent if her father's because wotc's writing team couldn't be arsed to make them an actual momento of her father because they're all a bunch of hacks.
>>
>>49363762
>duels 2014

I don't see the connection?
>>
>>49363749
Funny joke anon. People will tell you that Blue is the most consistently powered color but historically it's been Black.
>>
>>49363827
blue gets very little support anymore. I'll believe black, but every standard there has been some consistently powerful version of mono-red.
>>
>>49362580
Shouldn't it be exile from the graveyard instead of sacrifice to fit in with the others?
>>
>>49363804
Chandra is the protag of DOTP14. When you go to Ravnica in the game she mentions she got her pyro gauntlet from the Izzet there. It would just be the suggested uncited planar adventure #23.
>>
>>49363090
Why is this not a spellshaper? That's literally what it is.

>>49364173
Seeing as how she was trained at a monastery worshiping Jaya, and many people at the monastery saw her as Jaya's reincarnation, and apparently "monk" would be Chandra's creature type now, I don't doubt that's where the goggles came from.

Two people argued that this card wasn't reasonably costed, because it is a 6 mana 4/6 with no protection. They kept comparing it to the incredibly powerful Disciple of the Vault.

I don't get it. Isn't saying it has no protection literally just saying it dies to removal? Especially since you can maintain priority after it hits play to kil... oh wait, it checks power on resolution.

Alright, you got me, it folds to instant speed removal and that's super shit for 6 mana. Is there good instant speed removal?

I don't know. She's just so...perfect. When she's not being written like an ADHD 12 year old, anyway.

I mean, don't get me wrong, she definitely has at least SOME adhd. But it's not so severe that she's practically braindamaged (like that article a few weeks portrayed her as.)
>>
>>49363912
Spellshapers mimic existing spells.
>>
>>49364495
Just ignore all that crap about dying to removal and shit. Everything dies to removal.

The phrase "dies to removal" SHOULD imply, "it just dies to 1 for 1 removal". That means, "the creature only nets you one card (itself) if your opponent kills it".

This applies to large creatures. If you're casting a big fat creature like that, you're going to need to demand more than one card out of it. Because by the time you're casting it, the aggressive decks are going to almost certainly have board position on you and you need your 4+ mana cards to get you more than one card to face the opponent's threat. Look at the Black Gearhulk, no matter what, that thing is going to net you at least two cards from your opponent - one from the creature it kills and at least one from the spells/creatures they use to kill it.

So this big fat Disciple of the Vault. It could possibly be a 4-card card. It gets you the body and 3 1/1s. It's going to gum up the ground. And personally, I don't think that's good enough. It's ability is not good enough. It's going to let you stabilize for one turn as your guys chump but has no defense against aggressive flying assholes which are everywhere right now. Given the choice between the Black Gearhulk and this card I will always want the Gearhulk and I'm certainly not going to play both because no curve on the planet can support it.

>>49364608
Wouldn't you just sac all your artifacts turn 6? Either they have instant speed removal or they die because they took 16 damage.

I don't get why the assumption is that this is all you have. 4 artifacts to sac isn't an absurd requirement, as far as I know. It doesn't scream win more.

I'm not slotting this okay rare into Modern affinity or Vintage Shops, where it needs to be 0-1 mana or an artifact to get the absurd discount. I'm just saying it is reasonably costed given its effect. It could not have been a 4 mana card.
>>
>>49361070
People who think this is bad are literally retarded.
This is probably one of the best blue spells in standard at the moment. (Not saying much, but it's something.) At worst you go one for one with the counter spell. At best you're getting a two for one by redirecting a murder or an anguished unmaking or copying your wincon.

This card is fucking great.
>>
>>49361107
Definitely putting this in the module deck
>>
>>49364664
Standard doesn't have a sac outlet like that.
>>
>>49364664
they still die even if they have instant speed removal, unless it's a -/- effect.

RW Gearhulks, Metal colossus, Refab

Put in some shit to put stuff from your hand on your library and you can practically guarantee hitting red gearhulks and forcing them to let you draw 3 lest you obliterate them
>>
>>49364664
I've been talking about Standard.

I could be wrong but I don't see some sort of free artifact sacrifice outlet that just lets you combo a player out with this card. If that card existed, I would be saying something else.

What I'm saying is that every card must be evaluated mostly on the basis that you're losing. And every card you cast needs to get you back into the game. And this card more often than not does not do this. Yes, it does not scream win-more, but it IS a win-more card. If you have board position when you cast this thing, obviously you're doing fine but that situation almost does not matter in card evaluation. Having 2-3 artifacts to sac IS a ridiculous proposition as each artifact probably represents a card, which means you have 2-3 cards on board when you cast this. And if you don't you need 2-3 cards cast AFTER you cast this thing to make it relevant.

Gearhulk, as I argue, is awesome at all times. It is win-more, gets you back into the game, and nets you probably 3 cards - the kill, the creature, and the life probably gives you an entire turn.

Sure, maybe the card is good in the future. And you'll feel good about being right. But right now, using basic principles that have been true since forever, you are wrong and I am right.

Fair enough. Only one I've found so far is the green Eldrazi-fier. And that requires artifact creatures. Maybe they'll spoil a decent sac outlet for noncreature artifacts.

You could Tamiyo's journal with tracker. That might be win more though.

Standard doesn't generally get free sac outlets like that anymore specifically because of how problematic they could be in the past. The best you'll get are effects like Syndicate Trafficker.
>>
>>49364771
I'm just spitballing. I'll admit, gear hulk is better in most decks. It is a mythic after all.

But I don't thinking having lots of artifact tokens is necessarily a game winning position or an impossible feat. Nor do I think that the other mode (though very poor, I'll admit), is completely irrelevant in dire straits.

But you are making sense and you aren't talking down to me, so I appreciate your even handedness.

Do you have enough mana open to play a 4-mana counterspell or Swerve?

Timmy doesn't like his big dramatic effects getting countered or redirected. Timmy doesn't like his creatures being killed.

Fuck Timmy with the pointy end of a rake, he's the reason we get shitty burn and Cancel-with-upside while green gets to play 2-mana 5/5s in the late game.

Because red, white, and black are actually good with that 3W artifact re-animator card.
There is a tormenting voice+1 to pitch any gearhulks in hand and draw 3 to dig into getting the re-animator.
RW WB RBw artifact reanimator is probably going to be an incredibly good deck. Even if it's not T1 looks like it will be fun to play.

Dies to removal is relevant in this case because it's meant to be a bomb.
Dorks can die to removal, fodder can die to removal, your bomb dying to removal without impacting the boardstate is not acceptable. That's why the titans turned Baneslayer Angel from the best standard creature ever into a worthless mana sink.

>>49366035
Yes, as I said, it's a limited mechanic. Counter mechanics tend to be because they allow you to smooth out bad creatures you have to play in limited, offer flexibility, or can break board stalls, among other reasons off the top of my head. This is another one in a line of those. No, the ability isn't that great. It would be only marginally better if you could choose to split really. But it's not meant to be. There will be a few constructed pushed Fabricate cards like that angel but that's generally speaking not what the mechanic is for. This is better than most because the counters can be translated to value in the form of tokens (they don't fly by the way, they make servos not thopters, it was probably a lot easier to balance that way) and has neat flavor.

No That shit should be like one in ten packs for me to care.

>>49366277
You can still do exactly this. The difference between being able to split them is so minimal that I can't believe you are throwing a shit fit over it. YES, it's worse, but the difference doesn't make any except maybe the big black fabricate card significantly worse.

My entire group plays mostly EDH and absolutely none of them would would spend money on any one of these inventions or expedition lands. Hell, more likely to sell them and buy stuff they need them even use them.

4/3 or 2/1+1/1+1/1 or 3/2+1/1 for 4 is not really rare worthy. Remember that Raise the Alarm is a common.

Sol ring is an automatic inclusion in nearly every EDH deck, I have no idea what your meta is smoking.
>>
>>49366355
The difference is very important. Most of the main bodies are slanted in such a way making a shit ton of tokens leaves you with fucking nothing.

For whatever reason WOTC is going huge on this unequal P/T shit and its ruining the game.

I want to be able to make a token and make my main body able to survive.

Adequate.
>>
>>49366358
I assume you are talking about the prices. I dont sell my cards. I keep them. I want them to PLAY with not for their "value."

Also those prices are only because they are so rare.

I need a train.dek, I want to make a deck about making tokens and boarding them into the choo choo train.

Raise the alarm does not create artifacts.

>>49366423
Its just 4/3 or 2/1 and two 1/1's you have to pick all counters or all tokens.

I dont want to sell my cards anon. I'm NOT here for the money. I want the cards to play with not for their perceived value. I dont buy singles and I dont sell either.

If I pull a sol ring it is literally just a sol ring to me. Same as the other 15 I have. I'll just throw it into the trade binder.

Many MTG players are not this sensible.

It's highly unlikely but I swear, if we actually get a meta based off of Lupine Prototype riding vehicles, I'll eat my playset of CoCo.

>>49366429
A 3/2 isn't surviving significantly better in constructed than a 2/1 is >>49366181
. This is why it is a LIMITED mechanic, because in limited the difference can be a lot larger, so the choice between a 2/1 and 2 other dudes and 4/3 is much larger. but in constructed people are playing the best removal and the strongest creatures. you wouldn't even be playing a 3/2 that makes 1 token and does nothing else in constructed, nor a 4/3 vanilla and probably not even a 2/1 that comes with 2 1/1s for four mana anyway. that they cant be split doesn't matter a significant deal.
>>
>>49366465
And a c16 shivan dragon is 20c but an alpha is $1200, i dont think you get how this whole thing works, its because its different
>>
>>49366491
But how do you get cards for your decks then? You can always trade your stuff in for crazy value.

I traded my Tarmogoyf I got from my MM2 box.
>>
>>49366491
>I'll just throw it into the trade binder.
Then the Sol Ring becomes worth ~$150 worth of cards you want, still a great pull.
>>
>>49365770
We went through this and found other though equally shitty options, but they do let you do it turn 6.
>>
>>49366502
>A 3/2 isn't surviving significantly better in constructed than a 2/1
for four mana that makes 1 dude in the former and 2 in the latter I should clarify. a 4/3 for 4 is significantly better than a 3/2 for four in constructed despite neither being very playable in and of themselves but you know what I mean.
>>
>>49366505
I go to drafts and prereleases. I keep all the bulk to.

>>49366508
There is not 150usd worth of cars I want though. The only card I'm actively looking for is the new emerkul. I have 5 binders of shit I dont use. I also have so many EDH decks im thinking of tearing a few apart just because I cant play them all enough to make me happy having them.
>>
Yo. Fabricate makes great ETB artifact triggers OR makes a creature big enough to crew your vehicles. You can scale that shit to your liking. As a Draft player this is very exciting for me.
If you're a Constructed player then this mechanic just isn't for you. You get the rares and some of the mythics and uncommons to play with.
>>
>>49366502
Thats why LIMITED should be brought up in powerlevel. Fucking limited keeps ruining mechanincs I'm interested in. Every mechanic that gets the gears working and gets me thinking how can I use this? Ends up ruined because "heehee its for dat der LIM A TID ONREY."

I fucking HATE limited after the past few sets because it keeps ruing everything I find interesting.
>>
>>49366537
then trade for an emrakul and make someone's day, it isn't like you are losing anything by the expedition sol ring existing.
>>
>>49366568
You don't make enough money for Wizards to get a bigger voice, anon. I am sorry.
>>
>>49366568
They make some Fabricate cards for constructed. Whether they are actually strong enough for constructed is another issue entirely. This is same for EVERY mechanic, 90% of the cards featuring are trash and a small percentage can shine in constructed. This is a limited not because it's weak but because of the role it plays in smoothing out a limited experience. It's kind of like how scry became evergreen to make sure every set that didn't come with one natural would have a mechanic built in that could help make more consistent draws in limited. Scry was made evergreen because of LIMITED.
>>
>>49366572
Which is exactly what I will do. The original point was I literally dont care. I'm only interested in the big names like mana crypt and only so I can play them.

Because they are printed in such low numbers the masterpeices mean NOTHING an dadd no value to the set for me.
>>
>>49366624
I was going to say that Kaladesh would be your lucky set but not with THAT kind of spirit, anon. Not like that.
>>
>>49365490
>Im-fucking-plying a 3/3 haste for 3 or a 4/4 haste for 3 is going to see play, let alone save RDW

Oh boy I am laffin

>>49366624
Ill trade you a new emrakul for the 5 binders, i dont put value on cards either and i have a spare
>>
>>49366649
Ha thats pushing it because I do get whims to make cubes an jank shit for fun but I would totally trade a masterpeice card for one.

>>49366640
I am very practical. If the odds are not there I dont remotely bet on them. It will be nice if it happens but why get hyped that it exists when you will most likely not get one? Why set yourself up for frustration.
>>
>>49366608
I personally don't get why people
sperg out about these things. The decision making of things like Fabricate and Tribute is genuinely fun in limited.
>>
>>49366568
It can't work that way.

First, limited not only can reliably have some cards show up more often than others, it automatically has it under the rarity system that always existed, and the environment depends upon there being differences is power and presence.
Constructed by its nature will not have this. At the competitive level all cards will show uo as much as the players want in decks, and they will select for only the most powerful.

Second, even in an extremely diverse constructed environment, less than 80 unique cards from a set will show up.
The majority of cards will only show up in limited decks, no matter what. So it's smarter to design the majority of cards with limited in mind.

commander is about fun anyways man. I'm pretty sure fortune's favor has a place in my politics deck.
>>
>>49365793
No, it's not cast. It's better. Way better. You can play it. That means you can do lands with this. You can't miss with it.

If you wiff, you just use it as your land drop.
>>
>>49366694
Usually it's an issue of Fabricate being boring or something and wondering why they made yet another lame +1/+1 counter mechanic. Ignoring that I think Fabricate is probably the most interesting, again, since RTR's Unleash and Evolve and Scavenge, those counter mechanics serve a purpose by giving the set a way to balance out your shit creatures that you are sometimes forced to use by virtue of limited being limited or in context of how fabricate works in particular for easily splashable synergy for different archetypes. If you were trying to draft an etb trigger deck like WU seems to be in this deck and you can't get enough bounce or blink pieces, you can still try to go for a token strategy or just play more efficient creatures and be more straightforward.
>>
>>49366792
It just had to be one more card. Just one more. And it would be a super fun version of fact or fiction that's not as powerful but still good. Oh well. I think i might have even have accepted one more mana tacked on for one more card.
>>
>>49366757
>>49366568
I wonder why people like you don't just play an Online Cube or something.

All the constructed all-stars you'd ever want while enjoying the draft aspect of Limited.

>>

no
>>
>>49366563
The 2B Fabricate guy goes straight the fuck into any Aristocrats style deck. In Modern the deck was splashing red for Mogg War Marshal because you get three guys - the B guy costs one more but you aren't forced to eat your guys over two turns so you can chump or sac when you want to. That is a big upgrade and the guy can just be a 2/3 dork in extreme emergency situations (read: never - he will always be a 0/1, 1/1 and 1/1).
>>
>>49366757
Then two thirds of the cards or more still aren't played in constructed. And you've ruined a format people like to play.

So you fucked people over and fixed nothing.

>>49366900
Storm decks are all about draw probability and thinning out any chance of missing. Adding a 4 drop that doesn't add to your storm combo wont be worth it. Sure the card works with a storm combo, but it doesn't make the combo any faster.

If it instead read, "Whenever you cast a spell, put an energy counter on Aetherflux Reservoir. Remove all energy counters from Aetherflux Reservoir at end of turn. Pay EEEEE: Search your library for a sorcery and put it into your hand." Then maybe, maybe it would see play at the 4 cmc mark.

There was never a time in MTG when cards were equal power level through every rarity. Limited arose due to the nature of rarity, not the other way around.
>>
>>49366963
I do. Allot. But playing the same cards over and over gets boring. I want to play the new cards too but WotC keeps gimping all the fun mechanics. Everything remotely close to fun is either overcosted, underpowered, or has that tiny little thing like an "or" that just ruins it. The last one is the worst offender. When they have a mechanic that still wont see constructed play and wont be much better but they lock down anyway because most players are fucking retarded and cant into decisions.
>>
>>49367060
If it barely fucking matters why the fuck are you throwing a shitfit over it? Fabricate is still the same mechanic at its god damn core and its impact on constructed and limited isn't increased any relevant amount. You are almost LITERALLY bitching about NOTHING.
