Eternalize? Sounds like Embalm+.

>Afflict

>>53784090
We don't know yet
Any suggestion?

>>53784092
Probably
What is worth 2W more than a 1/1 double striker for 1W?

>>53784110
for 3WW, I'm going to assume something like:
>whenever this creature dies, at the beginning of your next endstep, return it to play

>>53784092
Return creature from graveyard to field. Doesn't exile the next time it is destroyed. Only as a sorcery

My guess

>>53784092
>>53784090
My bet it is Embalm and +1/+1

>>53784171

Crucible of Worlds on a Snek. Yeah okay.

>>53784171

except it's a Naga not a Snake. yeah it looks like a snake, should have been a snake, but WotC decided to create the Naga type because fuck people who want to build snake tribal amirite

cunts

>>53784053
A playable card vs. Vehicles decks. Thank god

>>53784030
Fuck yeah that snek!

>>53784030
Will Crucible go down in price?

>>53784587
Nope. Price memory and crucible is still needed for decks that lack green.

Crucible is harder to remove as well.

>>53784661

What decks runs Crucible that isn't also green?

>>53784090
Based on no information at all, embalm + indestructible

>>53784030
Afflict sounds something the Eldrazi would have instead of Ingest.

>>53784068
Beautiful foil card, too bad I hate cats.

>>53784090
Ok. Let's make a bet.
>Embalm with counters
>Embalm with indestructible
>Reveal from hand, pay, create copy token
>Embalm without exile
>Bestow 2.0

>>53784787
Megamorph was long ago so I guess it won't be +1/+1 counters, besides it's a -1/-1 counters matter set.

My guess is Embalm with Indestructible.

>>53784787

Embalm + Indestructible sounds most likely, honestly. Just by the name.

>Eternalize:

Create a token of the creature, but the token is indestructible and can't be removed from the game or sacrificed.

>>53784171
but there's already a -1/-1 theme in amonkhet and HOU is all about the end of the world

maybe it makes someone indestructible? or unable to be exiled?

>>53784954
>can't be removed from the game or sacrificed
3strong5me

>>53784068
My bet is on:
Exile it and at the beginning of your end step create a token that's a copy of it if you don't control a creature with that cards name.

Honestly, I think that Eternalize is either "cast from graveyard," or it's "return to your hand from the graveyard." Making the creature indistructable wouldn't be very interesting, and it would cause game-memory problems.

Plus, the idea of being able to cast a card again and again, Eternally, seems very thematic to me. From the snek, we know that there's gonna be an anti-bolas faction who've probably been surviving in the desert somehow, and Eternalize seems like the anti Embalm to me.

>>53785018
5 mana 1/1 double strike

its ok

>>53784954
>cat with eternalize is white
>drop him
>keep dropping wipes
I don't think so.

>>53784068
>paw is resting on the Type bar
Adorned Pouncer is cute. CUTE!

>>53785073
which is why it makes more sense that it's just Bestow but from the graveyard

>>53785073
that cannot be removed from the game by any means.
it's not ok.

>>53785080

>>53785073
Lets compare it to another 5 mana indestructible hexproof cat...

>>53785117
I destroy your Pacifism. What now?

>>53785073
It's a keyword, that means there will be more than 1 card with it
More than one completely unremovable card is not okay

>>53785125
4/4 Indestructible hexproof

Im fine with that

>>53785117
>drop cat
>wipe
>token
>mld
I hope you have a vedalken orrery.

>>53785160
Which means that Eternalize is gonna be something significantly better than just "embalm with indestructible."

I also doubt that they'd have "this creature is a perfect blocker" as a mechanic in creatures: the tappening. Then again, they do have a mechanic based on being blocked...

>>53785125
It's also two colors.
My bet is simply on sorcery speed return to the battlefield no strings attached.

Eternalize:

5 mana: Create a token that's a copy of the creature from your graveyard. But doesn't exile the card after being Eternalized so you can do it forever.

Sorcery speed of course.

So it's basically Embalm but can be done indefinetely

>>53785278
>t's also two colors
your point being...

>>53784030
Alright, seriously. Why doesnt wotc learn from the past? Why print cards with very likely potential to bite them in the ass? Im talking about the Eternal here. Havent they learned anything from cheating mana costs being potentially degenerate. I mean, they just banned marvel for chrissakes.

Crucible of snek is pretty cool tho.

>>53785327
Harder to cast than mono color, so it's justified being better than a similar mono colored card

>>53785340
Is this bait? Wildfire Eternal is barely comparable with Marvel.

>>53785322
there is going to be some INTENSE graveyard hate if you're right

>>53785372
Im not saying its on the same powerlevel. Only that wotc is playing with fire when theyve gotten burned so many times

>>53785361
>harder to cast
maybe if it was three colours like siege rhino, you'd have a point, but with how many dual-lands are printed every block, 2-colour cards are more often than not just as easy to cast as mono-colour cards.

>>53785432
Eternal is fine. It's a creature, it doesn't have haste, it needs to connect, and it's limited to instants and sorceries.
pic related. He also cheats things into play yet sees zero constructed play.

>>53784787
>>53785125
>>53785361

tfw people thinking that creating indestructible or endless tokens on a fucking KEYWORD is a real possibility. Don your limited glasses ffs. For the same reason it won't be +1/+1 counters because we already have -1/-1 in the environment.

There is one real possibility: as embalm but creates 2 tokens.
Maro loves doubling. 3WW for 2 1/1 doublestrikers on a flashback sounds in the ballpark. Trigger annointed priest twice.

>>53784068
>people actually think this keyword will involve indestructiblity or better

You are all retarded. They would not do this to limited

>>53786070
>There is one real possibility: as embalm but creates 2 tokens.
has nothing to do with the actual name of the keyword

>>53784090
My guess is on it being cast as an Aura from the GY.

>>53784754
Anyone who plays in a meta with MLD and non basic land hate.

>>53784053
I get why it was named that for reprintability purposes, but I want it to be called Inshatterate in my heart.

>>53784754

Lots of edh decks

>>53786928
Would be pretty funny but would be hell for the translators.

>>53784030
There better be some Retrace cards in this set!

>>53784053
Possibly the best burn Red can have under Modern design space.

>>53784068
Fine too.

>>53787086
It's not really burn if it doesn't hit the opponent.

>>53784053
What's the point in having this is when they just banned Marvel?

>Select all squares with vehicles.

Right.

>>53787086
Maro hates retrace because he thinks putting a mechanic on a bunch of overcosted shitcards means the mechanic is shit.

>>53786841
That's a legit objection. Although megamorph was not that mega either so...

Other things I can think about:

Embalm without exile but you have to discard a land as an additional cost.
------
(here be things that are likely too complex for modern RnD taste)
Creating aura tokens a-la reverse bestow.
Exile to give all abilities of (this) to all your creatures until EOT

>>53787177
Exactly. Would it fucking kill them to put 'or player' on a fucking rare?

>>53787438
is it rare or a promo uncommon

>>53787438

Yes it would. MaRo would literally shrivel up and die.

>>53787438
>on a fucking rare

It's not a rare tho, it's just an uncommon.

>>53784954

>Create a token of the creature, but the token is indestructible and can't be removed from the game or sacrificed.

Give me a 1/1 G creature with "Eternalize: G"

>>53787438
If it said player, it would be a literal better Lightning Strike: exact same cost and more versatile, so I see why they didn't do that.

>>53787438
It's a game day participation promo. It has the holofoil stamp but it's an uncommon.

>>53787588
>I can see why they didn't make a better version of a card that isn't particularly good
Anon, I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but Wizards have printed strictly better Grizzly Bears without breaking the game.

>>53787250

Well seeing as the amonkhet promos were uncommon and rare on both, I assume the same.

It's a Brave New World out there.

>>53787793
not the same as
'RnD thinking that destroy target artifact on everything would hurt marvel decks'

>>53787831
>R&D thought legendary was a downside on an artifact with an activated ability and a death trigger
It actually is just Skullclamp all over again.

>>53787831
I thought it was pretty hilarious

>opponent smugly slams his main deck Dissenter's Deliverance and feels like a hotshot
>"you know I have priority on my activation right?"
>"oh"
>cast ulamog
>opponent scoops

>>53786070

I don't think endless tokens is actually out of the question, I get that it would be good in limited but a little bit of common gy hate would deal with it pretty well, as it is, endless 1/1 double strikers that come out 1 at a time for 5 mana each doesn't actually seem that strong in limited, though I can see how as a keyword, there's a good chance one variation would end up broken in limited

>>53787869
You can even give them priority and activate in response, I'd imagine. Incase you hit another Marvel or counterspell.
But yeah, Ulamog is gg either way.

>>53787869
Priority literally does not matter anyway unless your opponent is cheating and has Krosan Grip. And "priority on activation" actually means nothing. It's just some words that don't fit together.

Also, inb4 landwhales paint their nails green and purple and post pictures in cat ears.
*meow Ima CAT and magic cosplayer* (sound of chairs breaking)

>>53787963
>And "priority on activation" actually means nothing. It's just some words that don't fit together.

He meant that he retains priority after casting Marvel and can activate it immediately. But you are right that it does not matter much.

>>53787655
>>53787782
I,didn't say it was right or good design or drinking MaRos cum . I was just saying why they didn't print "creature or player".

They should have printed a Grave Peril for artifacts
Something like:

1R
Enchantment
When a nonland, nontoken artifact enters the battlefield, sacrifice ~. If you do, destroy that artifact.

Though Marvel decks could still get around it with Puzzleknot...
Anyway, I'd still like to see a card like this printed.

>>53788042

Black dealing with non-creature artifacts (with the exception of vehicles) is always going to be a hard no. Same with enchantments.

>>53788068
Well yeah I realize now that they can simply activate Marvel in response.
The idea for the artifact Grave Peril came to me one of these days and this thread just seemed like an excuse to post it.

>>53788226
Your grand idea was to take an existing card and change the type it affected? Nigger god damn.

>>53788122
I did make it Red though.

>>53788042
Marvel should've cost 1 or 2 more and cost 1 or 2 more energy to activate. We can imagine doing more effective artifact hate over and over (annul with cycling? 2/2 stony silence?) but the real issue is that Marvel was pushed too hard.

>>53788122
His custom card is red though, not black

>>53788245
Never claimed it was an original idea. I legitimately just looked at Grave Peril and thought "hey, it would be neat if there was an artifact version of this".

>>53784754
I've seen it in some Eldrazi Tron sideboards so they can keep getting back their GQs.

>>53787869
So what you're saying is, the format needs (or needed) Krosan Grip?

>Marvel resolves

While Marvel itself is very powerful, what took it over the top were Emrakul and Ulamog. I doubt the deck would be as dominating if those cards didn't exist.

Reanimating and cheating things into play is fun, I agree. That's why I don't think Marvel is the problem.
But cards like the Eldrazi are examples of terrible design that should be done away with.

>>53784754
Lantern

From fucking Mtgsalvation of all places a nice theory:
Eternalize is the Eternal Dragon ability, keyworded.

>>53788660
What the fuck are you going to cheat into play, a 6/6 hydra? Anyway, I am biased here because I like lovecraftian shit and big Eldrazi was one thing that Wizards didn't fuck up completely lately.

So, like. What is being rotated out when HoD drops, and when does it happen?

Just zendikar+gatewatch, or zendikar block and innistrad block both? Cuz that's a fuckton of cards getting the axe at once.

>>53788774
HOU is the small set of a block. Nothing rotates when it's released.

>>53788774
Nothing, you have to wait till Ixalan.
BFZ and SOI get out.

>>53788249
>>53788280

I'm dumb, sorry!

>>53788824
>>53788816
So it's Ixalan in September, and then I lose Innistrad? When is HoD?

It bothers me that they started printing all this awesome anti-counterspell tech right when they also decided that counterspells need to suck

So now people hardly play either effect

Imagine how fun it would be to play with prowling serpopard if counterspell was in standard

>>53787869
That's why this game fucking sucks. Even your answers are ineffective when you actually have them in-hand.

>>53790098
instant speed artifact removal is not the answer to marvel

dispossess and lost legacy solve marvel.

>>53788553
hydra can cast ability at instant speed... fyi

>>53788553
>pay 3 energy

>>53784068
My bet is on exile from graveyard, at the beginning of your upkeep if you don't control a creature named ~, create a token that is a copy of this creature.

>>53790098
Cry more. If your opponent got priority to cast spells after you just resolved one, permanents would be worthless. You'd never get the chance to activate Planeswalkers, or clues from Tireless Tracker, or any other sorcery-speed ability.

>>53792115
Permanents are too good and planeswalkers were a mistake.

I enjoyed magic as a wizard battle, summons were just another spell, but they got to stick around. Now creatures are better than their answers, leading to everything being creature based. Even the 2 recent combo decks, marvel and saheeli cat, were both resulting in creatures.

>>53792165
>other people enjoy different things than me
>listening to them instead of me is a mistake

>>53787250
They would have designed this card and added it to the set well before they made the decision to ban marvel.

>>53784068
I have a hunch it is exactly what embalm is, but instead of being embalmed and becoming a zombie, you are imbued by the rare ore that the zombies have been digging up.

>>53792343
It was also designed long before marvel became an issue.

>>53784482
It can't be a snake, it doesn't have enough arms to be a snake.

>>53788984
yeh a lot of people are pretty confused about rotations right now (mostly because they don't care and just play whatever that top 8 guy ran last week)
What people are telling you here is correct.
>>53784787
My bet is gonna instant speed embalm.
Or this set will just have a legendary W/U who lets you embalm at instant speed. But he will be like 5 mana 4/4 and never see play.

>>53784030
Ramucap Excavator is going straight into my Jarad deck.

>>53784068
Methinks it's going to be bestow from graveyard, i.e:
Pay 3WW: Attach this to a creature you control as an enchantment aura. When the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield, exile this card.
or something along those lines

>>53798084
literally impossible, it's missing the rules text that makes it work as an aura

>>53798152
Wouldn't that all be rolled into the keyword?

My bet is on turning it into an indestructible artifact.

Ok, so is BG delirium going to be op now?

not really leaks or spoiler but they show a new card at the end.

>>53799090
That was a pretty effective trailer, probably their best one yet. Shit hits the fan and the animation of a big badass dragon being melded into a card makes me pretty excited to get my hands on it. They're learning.

Pssst. Megamorph

It's gonna be Bestow from the Graveyard.

>>53807231
Bestow from the graveyard except every aura is Invocation of St Traft featuring the Eternalized creature

>>53807943
embalm from the graveyard except every embalmee has the mirror-sigil sergeant ability

>>53785226
>>53807224

It seems moreso that BFZ wasn't intended to be in Standard for so long, with Marvel instead fetching out something like Metalwork Colossus in the absence of the Titans. It's becoming more and more apparent that extending BFZ's lifespan has brought about unintended consequences.

>>53808693

So what, a chance of unbanning Marvel once BfZ and SoI blocks rotate out?

>>53784480
im betting it turns it into either a static, essentially turning it into (creatures you control get +1/+1 and doublestrike) Or it puts a number of counters on it, and turns it into a zombie, like the eternal from the red card also spoiled"

>>53787708
instead it targets much more imortant cards in formats OTHER then standard. especally now that marvel is banned

>>53808756

Like what?

>>53785601
It isn't a bad card, just you need to have some big threats to make it worthwhile. And turns people off that it can't pop out planeswalkers

>>53809430
It isn't a bad card at all. The point is that it's not degenerate either.

>>53809430
and that it cant into creature cast triggers

Should I buy a box of modern masters 2017? Why or why not?

>>53810275
What do you want to do with it and what kinds of magic do you play?

>>53810318
I want to run a draft or sealed tourney with friends. I want to keep the cards afterwards so I wouldn't charge them or anything like that.
I play edh and limited, and I'm starting to branch into standard and modern.

>>53810424

I did a phantom draft with my Modern Masters 2017 box and it was a ton of fun. Brings sleeves for everybody or be prepared to proxy, because you get foils in every pack, so there's a good chance you'll get some valuable cards worth keeping in near mint condition.

>>53810424
Yeah that sounds okay. Just bear in mind there's many booster boxes you could get for probably half the price eg Conspiracy, and there's a lot of stuff coming out soon. So weigh how much you want it vs how much you want to draft/spend on other things.

Also remember that sealed's tough because the MM booster box only 24 packs (sealed's usually 6 packs so that's four people)

Thanks anons.

Hey fa/tg/uys,

Played a heavy amount of standard from RTR till the end of the Khans block. Always ran Grixis because I love the colours together, even if they weren't meta. Think the lowest point of this time was when Grixis constellation was the best performing standard deck during the Theros block that I had. Kind of stopped playing after Khans, but seeing the newest set feature Bolas is inspiring.

Since I've basically been out of the loop for two entire blocks and can't be assed to try and assess it myself, can anyone tell me what the standard metagame is right now, as in what are the mains threats and answers? Would love to start playing again especially if I can play Grixis

>>53812767
Well for starters. You're THREE blocks out of the loop since they changed blocks to only two sets
Secondly, Everything sucks forever now

>>53812792
Didn't they revert the standard containment back to three blocks? BFZ is still standard until September

>>53812872
They just made BfZ block rotate out slower. It's still three seperate blocks - Battle for Zendikar, Shadows Over Innistrad, Kaladesh, each with their own small set

My working theory is either indestructible embalm, or Enchantment/Artifact that grants the creatures abilities to all your creatures.

Wuz unplayable.

When can we get another Rakdos Walker?

And what do you propose white and green do if permanents are made worse? Neither colour exactly has win conditions in non-permanent forms.

>>53813736
What do you mean? Approach of the Second Sun is your win condition :^)

>ETERNALIZE
>return it to the battlefield from the graveyard, no token bullshit
>return it to the battlefield, it gains indestructible
>it gains indestructible and shroud/hexproof
>it gains " whenever this leave the field, exile it instead and return it to the battlefield at the end of turn, it gains this ability".
>create a token copy of this. can play this ability from either graveyard or exile. do it only if you control no permanenet with that name

and the classiest of them all:
>it gains "this can't leave the battlefield" for the rest of the game ( note: permanents that can't leave the battlefield can't be sacrificed)
this would finally create a new interaction that let enchantments do the work, but stops bounce spells, unlike all other protection abilities we had until now.

what i certainly don't expect them to do:
>+1+1 counters anything
doesn't fit with the name and we have been guaranteed no +1+1 counters because the set already has -1-1 counters.
>it gains indestructible
not a deal big enough for the mana cost, there are way too many exile cards, we already have 6 indestructible cards in AKH and they don't make a special deal out of that. you don't go out of your way to break the art frame and make a keyword to just slap a 15 year old ability that everyone think is underpowered onto a card
>create multiple tokens at the same time
doesn't fit name flavor and also works badly with the 1/1 double strike we got first spoilered.
>when it dies return it to the bf
goes infinite with sacrificies.

>>53814296

>>when it dies return it to the bf
>goes infinite with sacrificies.

Only if you also have infinite mana

>>53814296
If it gains "this cannot leave the battlefield" that would be a new low for magic.

What if it's "exile this creature from the game, you get an emblem that reads:" creatures you control gain doublestrike""

>>53814452

>emblems

Noooooooooooo

Maybe an artifact or an enchantment though

When I returned to magic and learned of emblems I was so salty. I'm still not really over it. Why would they make something that has zero (0) possibility for interaction? Why did anyone think that would just be okay and super fun.

They're just a way to remind people of "for the rest of the game" effects.
They're fine when tied to big splashy planeswalker ults, lately they've been pushed a bit too fr with Gideon cards though i agree.

>>53814543

Just stifle the ability that created them lmao

>>53784030
>not called Magus of the crucible.

Crucible is even synonymous with trial!

>>53815470
Because "magus of the [blank]" already refers to a specific cycle of cards in time spiral that has very specific rules around their design.

>we could have had Neheb but they killed him

>>53813621

>Faggot Jace in Innistrad when we should have gotten Tibalt

>>53815595

What are these rules?

They neither need to directly mirror the effect of the card they reference, see Magus of the Library

Nor do they need to be the same color as the card they're referencing, see Magus of the Tabernacle

>>53815595
There are two magus cards outside of any cycle
And as far as I can tell, the only thing this card violates is that it's not a human wizard

There's no actual problem with emblems inherently - they're an easy reminder for 'for the rest of the game, X' stuff, and almost all of that is expensive and/or time consuming.
The problem is that they limited it to be planeswalker only instead of for general usage (pic related should be an emblem for the second half), and have made a few things that can make emblems immediately.
