MTG Spoilers thread. No Bolas Planeswalker this set? What gives?

>>51063963
I feel like the mechanics of this card tied to fluff might be foreshadowing of

>someone (probably important) is going to die
>the planar bridge gets fukt
>Bolas shows up pissed at Tezzeret

>>51063963
I thought Bolas was confirmed for Amonkhet?

Yo, buddy. What you target and what you have 8 of are unrelated.

It's a relevant mana rock and a decent copy target.

>>51063963
If you've been paying close attention you would have noticed earlier, because WotC or WotC staff said that there were 2 planeswalkers in Aether Revolt (or 4 if you count the duel deck planeswalkers as different). That combined with Tezzeret and Ajani of heroes being spoiled eliminates the possibility of Bolas getting printed.

>>51063963
>>51064483
Bolas is literally THE guy in charge of the plane of the next block. Between Dark Intimations and that fact, I'm confident we'll see him in the next block.

>>51066376
yeah, bolas will come in, kill jace, kill gideon, fuck chandra and liliana, make nissa a nazi again, and then fuck chandra and lili again, killing the gatewatch, allying with Phyrexia again, to bring back Yawgmoth and Urza, and FINALLY
MAKE

>>51066567
Come on gatewatch isn't that bad

>>51066567
WotC has a policy of bringing back characters that died on stage. I think they explicitly said Yawgmoth is never coming back.

>>51063963
You are legitimately fucking stupid

>>51066590
Yes. There is an infinite 2 card combo that wins the game if it isn't disrupted.

Thought it was 3 cards. Is there a new combo?

>>51066798

This is the worst set in MTG I have ever seen, and I've been playing a long time.

WotC will not be getting my money this set, and I predict that they are going to lose a lot of money if they keep thinking they can reprint watered down versions of everything and keep making cards worse and worse. I feel like the game is slowly being dumbed down.

>>51066996

I like a lot of the new cards, anon. Maybe that's because I'm a shitter who plays standard and commander exclusively.

This is seriously one of the strongest sets I seen in a while, literally every color(minus red since they stopped reprinting lightning bolt of course) got a lot of goodies, plus a couple of the goodies are colorless, which basically means like smug copter and hangarback before that, will be used in all colors of decks that would want that card. I am building the shit out of Jund once I'm finished reuniting kids with their families in about a month.

Gee, anon, why would you search your library for a Bolas card in the set where we open a planar portal to a world where Bolas' evil is law?

>>51066727
Splinter-Erxarch was Standard legal and didn't do shit.
This one is worse for the simple fact that neither piece has flash.

>>51068972
I feel the set isn't really that good and they aren't really trying to up the power level of standard, they just din't think a reworked Morbid would be so powerful and interesting as it turns out to be.

Until proven wrong. I expect more +1/+1 counters and shittier Sunburst variants in Amonkhet.

>>51070914
Thats not objectively force of will. No other card says pay 2 cards and 1 life, unlose the game.

>>51076577
to be fair, splinter exarch was in the same standard as caw-blade

I hope you're right though. I sold my saheelis for $5 a piece

So what do we think of that w/b enchantment that makes token if you trigger revolt. I've been playing around a list and it's been real. Using the aethor born from kaladesh that sacs artifacts and yahenni males for a fun "combo". Srams expertise is really good.

I like the deck I just finding it hard trimming the fat. How much removal does a deck in standard need if it's going for a midrange plan?

>>51077199
>to be fair, splinter exarch was in the same standard as caw-blade
For all of one week. I don't think it made a huge splash after that, the only tools it had to protect itself were Mana Leak and Apostles Blessing. Additionally, with no redundancy through Kiki-Jiki and Memoricide being a sideboard card, from what I remember, it didn't really go anywhere.

>>51065694
Really want to put one of these on a sphere of resistance in Commander. But that would require playing a shitty format.

I don't understand the purpose of Baral there. Half the instants and sorceries cost 1 and there are no counterspells. Are there supposed to be more toys for him in the sideboard, or is reducing the cost of expertises and larger than life really worth the slot?

"Shadowblayde" is a codename a character picked out for themselves, and it's commented on in story. It's an intentional, self-aware jab at that sort of character. The writing is still shit, though.

>>51102783
If you play Saheeli on turn 3, she will be at 1 loyalty on turn 4 because of your opponent's copter. If you play the cat on turn 4, waiting until turn 5 to cast Saheeli, your opponent will know what you're setting up and have an extra turn to respond, either killing the cat or holding up a counter for Saheeli. Or, just put you to 0 life before turn 5.

Herald of Anguish
Heart of Kiran

>>51105112
At least those have mechanics that "justify" the rarity

I really think the heart is a mistake its op in modern because of the variety of planeswalkers and its op in standard because gideon.

>>51105112
What deck is going to want Herald of Anguish? I'm not sold on it making Colossus decent.

>>51105112
Heart is Kiran is not a chase Mythic, it slots into a very specific type of deck (Superfriends), unlike Avacyn and Gideon which slot into any deck playing White.

Herald of Anguish might be good? I hope so I love that art.

>>51105228
Heart of Kiran slots perfectly into UR burn.
>heart
>saheli, crew and copy swing 8 turn 3
>only 12 life to go
>shock reprint
>all these burn spells

>>51105412

Okay you copied a legendary, so you lose one. The one you copied also has no one to crew it since you burned through all of Saheeli's loyalty.

>>51105412
>Crew and copy swing for 8
Doesn't work like that. First off, Heart is Legendary, so no matter what, you only get to keep one. Second, and this is from the official rulings "The token copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on." Ergo, the token would just be an artifact, not a creature on entering, though it would still have haste. So depending on whether you keep your actual Heart of Kiran, or the token, you have either wasted an entire turn not developing board presence and getting in for 4,or you have tapped out, sacrificed your legendary vehicle, and lose your token at end of turn after not being able to crew it.

Guys. Fancy help me with fine tuning this list. The idea is to get the WB enchantment down with a number of artifacts or enablers and keep making a group of 1/1s each turn while holding up removal. I know it's not terribly competitive but I would like to make it more efficient. I have an idea using that mimic and naming servo tokens? What do you guys think? The servos come in with +1+1 counters and it activates another artifact that can make tokens for me.

Cheers for any feedback brothers.

In some (shitty) formats, yes.

Most of the magic I play is in Magic Duels, which just happens to be like a gimped version of Frontier, only with rarity restrictions. Even with only one planeswalker of each kind in a deck, superfriends is still a viable deck due to the fact that there's only like two noncreature cards total that can interact with them.

>>51081506
kek

>>51109199
To be fair if they have felidar before they play there saheeli due to raisins, then ruinous path does not stop the combo, and as for super friends in general, ur instant speed creature removal isn't kind of moot when u have to wait til ur turn to actually remove the threat, plus anguished sometimes puts u in the danger zone, so it's not always a safe bet, especially when were talking ur combo, with potential to be burned out...Sort of.

This seems very disgusting in combination with Doubling Cube. Three piece combos are hard to get out but play a spell +1 extra mana = double remaining mana...

>>51114685
>Which would mean that the last part takes effect no matter if you exiled it from your graveyard or not, right?
yes.
but you don't get the choice of exiling it or not it's a must deal

Crackdown Construct + Wandering Furmarole
Going off on turn 5 is a bummer, but what support does that need?

>>51118841
>Doubling Cube
You're thinking too big.
Any mana rock/dork lets you keep going.

>>51121490
If you can accelerate Crackdown Construct out a little bit, Prophetic Ravings should help. Also, isn't there a creature that lets you pay E to give something haste?

>>51121721
Spontaneous Artist! That was it. Too bad it costs 4 mana too. MaRo may hate mana dorks, but we've still got Cultivator's Caravan and Beastcaller Savant. Also, Vessel of Volatility.

Oh, and there's also Forerunner of Slaughter and Expedite as haste enablers. Or Goblin War Paint, but that's 2 mana and kinda meh.

>>51121721
The issue isn't Crackdown, it's Furmarole.
You need 4 mana to animate Furmarole, and you need to do that the turn you attack.

>>51063963
I predict there's going to be another Bolas walker in the next block, since Amonkhet is canonically ruled by Bolas.

Slip through space

>>51121870
Shit, right. Forgot about that part. I guess Saheeli Twin is just the strictly quicker combo, with less removal. If Wizards had given us our player burn back, this would never have happened.

>>51102529

I don't even think they will ban this. It's been awhile since we've had a turn 4 combo in standard. Jeskai supports counterspells and protection. Might end up being a grindy deck that controls and wins with the combo late game.

Without Emrakul and Copter in over half the deck I'm interested to see where STandard goes. I usually just play sealed pre release and ignore fnm but I might actually get into the format now that the feel bad god is gone.

>>51102783

The combo is good but easily disruptable. It's a good thing for standard. Better than fighting emrakul anyway. Copter didn't feel that scary but if it is in 60 percent of decks I get why they banned it.

>>51105085

Artifact heavy, combo heavy, mechanics like energy that might not return. Bans in standard.

This kind of reminds me of mirrodin.

Palladium Myr
Silver Myr
Isochron Scepter
Dramatic Reversal
Inspiring Statuary
Paradox Engine
The new blue tinker dudes
Muddle the Mixture
Blue Sun's Zenith

is there a modern meme deck there?

>>51105817

With Coptor banned, maybe put that aetherborn nighthawk thing in. Syndicate Trafficker as a 4 of might be too many. Kind of like Scavenging Ooze where they end up eating eachother's food.

Maybe go down to 2?

This list reminds me of yours but it has a nice late game that burns people out.

>>51105834

Theres several combos in the format right now. Turn 4 comboes in standard isn't anything new. The bans helped the format find some variety I think. I agree with you that Saheeli is easily disruptable and a successful deck will be more like 3 color control with a combo happening to be in there instead of all in. All in and this thing would be toast. Shock by Saheeli.

>>51110223

I really can't wait to play this in limited.

I kind of hope energy never comes back like Infect or phyrexian mana but they keep using Vehicles like equipment forever.

God Kaladesh is Mirrodin isn't it?

>>51116332

Exactly this.

No good graveyard hate and Copter not being a 3/2 or a 3/1 caused Emrakul and Copter to be in almost every standard deck. I think they learned their lessons from Rhino standard.

I think UW Flash will still be a thing. GB delirium will be up there. RB or Mardu Vehicles. GR or Temur energy will still be a thing. Saheeli Jeskai combo and Artifact Combo will be around.

Honestly 4 or 5 viable decks instead of 3 is nice for Standard.

>>51117173

I think it would be nice to see a 5 or 6 drop version.

+1: Destroy target nonblack creature.
-2: Put a 3/2 red Dragon with first strike and flying into play.
-8: Bolas, The Meme deals 5 damage to target player then that player discards 2 cards and sacrifices 2 permanents.

>because of your opponent's copter

Jesus Christ mate, will you TRY to keep up?

>>51127368
>implying the decks STILL won't be shit
Mark my words, we'll be seeing the rise of superfriends soon enough. Also, Arlinn Kord in Construct combo is probably gonna be a thing if it can +1 to accelerate the Construct beatdown. It'll be a t6 win without any ramping, but completely self-contained (especially given that there's no real player-targeted burn to kill her).
>t4 Arlinn
>t5 Construct holding up G for Blossoming Defense
>t6 Fumarole, activate, win

>>51127051
You don't need to dedicate as much deck space to the Crackdown combo though.
You were going to run duals either way.

>You're thinking too big.

True, however if you are playing (a 2 mana artifact + 3 mana artifact + 5 mana artifact) I would want to do something big because you are only doing this in EDH at best.

So what's the point about being spike about it?
Also a mana dork/rock in a vacuum for this example only net's you about 3-6 mana per-spell. That fine and dandy if you playing storm but if your playing a 5 mana artifact in storm(!?!) then you have already lost.... (outside of EDH but storm in EDH is fun for one, which is dumb)

>>51085844
If you're talking about the deck I posted in one of these threads a while ago, it's much more based around Paradoxical Outcome than Inspiring Statuary.
The deck needs a mana rock in order to go crazy, Inspiring Statuary is just the best mana rock at making colorless.

Why would he make a dragon? When has that ever been a thing?

>>51133687
Retcons imply the opposite, they care too much. Stories from 8 years ago are being picked up.

>>51133706
Never and the size isnt even right. Dragons should be a 5/4 at least. Also notbing in black or blue supports creature generation its more of a polymorph thing.
