>>55276546
Oh, okay. Sounds neat anyway.
>>
>>55276504
Except two of the three times he had his mind wiped it wasn't intentional. The other time we know little about. And he's only really the head of the Gatewatch because he can act as a human radio and makes plans that don't always fall through. He's decently clever at times, but he's a neurotic mess and is still somehow the most stable member of the GW except for maybe Gideon or now Ajani. And he's never been treated as any kind of chosen one. In the last few blocks he's been pretty useless outside of his ability to be a radio.

We've had this argument before. You're simply wrong in what you call a Mary Sue and about Jace. As many problems as his character has, being a Mary Sue is not one of them.

>>
>>55276641
You know you can do that with just about any one of the five original Gatewatch and it'll sound like just as much of a teen wish fulfillment fantasy, right?

And not everyone was "after him" anyway. Besides, he technically was special in that he's a planeswalker. Nothing about him is more "special" than any other. He's pretty average as far as PWs go. He's depicted as handsome, but are you saying that handsome characters are unrealistic? And he's not "an intelligent nihilist with a wicked sense of humor," he's a dork who uses illusions to make himself look presentable when he hasn't had his morning coffee.

most of the original gatewatch is also a mary sue, its just that they dont show up as often, meanwhile jace is ALWAYS there, lilly was replaced by sorin as the main black walker for a time, garruk was replaced by elfslut after a while, ajani, gideon, and elsbeth take turns as the white walker
the only one with as much push as jace is chandra

Yeah, Jace is nothing special. ANd being pushed doesn't make someone a Mary Sue. NONE of the Gatewatch are. They're all flawed characters who run into problems because of those flaws. Poorly written? Sure. But that's not the same as being a Mary Sue, you dingus.

>>55276900
Chandra is garbage in every block she appears and Liliana is trash most of the time too. Gideon has his moments, but he's usually just a stoic brick. Jace is a massive dork who likes to throw quips every now and then, but at least he's consistent in his characterization. Ajani is decently written for the most part.
>>
>>55276900
I tend to think Chandra is pretty poorly written but I actually agree in general.

Chandra's written like a cocky teenager who gets angry really easily and has no problem solving skills. She wanted to start a revolution, and did, on her home plane because she couldn't have her fire wherever she wanted. The only problem that needed taking care of on Kaladesh was Tezz and possibly Baral (no idea how he wasn't at least UW), and yet they go and start a whole damn war and massively fuck over the infrastructure of the biggest city on the plane.

Good for dinos and fixing, bad for ramp with the land going into your hand. 6/10
>>
>>55276637
The big drawback is that it will often miss on that etb, especially in token deck. But on the other hand it is functionally a ramp spell and lets you put two lands into play on one turn like Zoetic Cavern.
>>
>>55277280
It lets you grab nonbasics, that's worth a lot.

>>55277543
It's not. It's not significantly better than greed tbqh. It's faster up front but costs more mana over time, and considering that Oloro is all about "over time" I don't think this has any place unless you're not being super spike about it. Also thankfully the transformation isn't mandatory because the land it transforms into is almost laughable, especially comparing to >>55276637

Well this probably won't happen in Oloro, plus in EDH if you're at 5 or less life, you're pretty much already dead.

Not when you have to be at 5 or less life and hit an upkeep trigger. Versus having 4 creatures and hitting an upkeep trigger to get gaea's god damn cradle. I SPECIFICALLY COMPARED IT TO THAT CARD.

buy singles unless you need 20 different cards that are all coming out of the same deck that are going to be worth the price of the deck
>>
>>55277825
I usually buy all the decks every year just to build my stock of commander staples since each deck has a bunch of playable cards.

I wanna build Edgar though, and I own next to no vampires so I'd have to buy at least him.
>>
>>55277877
Edgar has some pretty decent vampires in it. It would be a decent start honestly. Plus one of the cards in there is going for $20 dollars on TCGplayer.

I personally think it would be pretty good start.. even though if you bought them as singles (taking out the $20 card). it would be way cheaper
>>
Guess the deck: It's not Prossh edition
>>
>>55277562

it costs more mana over time sure but you can only use black mana on greed so its not like youre gonna be able to draw that much more with greed than this

Looking for help with my Inalla. I've been able to get Arjun to stick in three seperate playgroups, but in each game I've ended up hellbent in the midgame with nothing to do beyond plopping down one dude and passing.

I designed it to have a VERY low curve to take advantage of the enchantment version of Dark Confidant, but I have $30 left in the budget and need suggestions for efficient draw at or below CMC 4, and things to cut for draw.

It tends to be a super-casual tournament that takes place a week before the new set comes out. You get six boosters from the new set, crack them and make a 40-card deck then play in a tournament.

In my experience, it's a lot of laughing and joking and bad plays as everyone wraps their heads around the new cards and mechanics. Mind you, my FLGS does midnight pre-releases, so I always go to those.

>>55278592
Yeah, that's not what a Mary Sue is. A leader or someone who is treated as the protagonist of a story is not a Mary Sue. Someone who plays to their character archetype or acts on a whim is not a Mary Sue. They're a perfect character with either no faults or faults that never actually hinder them in a meaningful way. They're also inexplicably loved or respected by all. Chandra gets plenty of backlash for her impulsiveness and just because something goes their way or works out for them once does not mean they are a Mary Sue. She's poorly written and gets lucky, but she's not perfect and her faults actually do end up mattering. Quit coming around here and using that phrase when you don't know what it means.

And she still isn't a Mary Sue because that's not what a Mary Sue is. Her reckless has caused trouble for the team before, even before Bolas wrecked there shit. She's too impulsive and it even shows in Kaladesh. She's by no means as powerful as you make her out to be either. She's a big fish in a small pond. And are you trying to say that a character can't be attractive? Because that's what you kept bringing up about Jace too. A more Mary Sue trait would be to be called incredibly average but still have everyone lusting after you for no reason. Anon, you just don't understand what a Mary Sue is. You should really just stop using the phrase until you get some sense. What Chandra is is a poorly written protagonist. There's a big difference.

It's good, but I don't think it's for modern. I can't use it as well in CoCo decks because I don't want to hit it, and I need a ridiculous start in elves to use it, after which it just makes more mana, something I had no trouble doing. I could be wrong, I'm not that great at card analysis, but I think at most it'll hit ~10 dollars. I mean, look at Ramunap Excavator. Crucible is a huge effect, but Excavator is sitting at around 5.

Lightining is one of the strongest conduits for red magic. ralzarek, bolas, ajani, ugin, and a plethora of low tier red mages are able to use it with nuances in their ability and chandra is currently too dumb to use it. That means shes using the basic aspect of red magic at a level thats high enough to make other red mages look like bitches and nuke things like ulamog and kozilek. If bolas didnt have 20 years of backstory he would have been fucked.

Yeah, with a whole plane's worth of mana (and an abnormally mana-rich plane at that) after having the Eldrazi tied down so she could hit them at full force without them retaliating. Chandra is nothing compared to most. She's just a hot head who can shoot fire. It's what she's attuned to and she can likely never use anything else as well as she uses fire.
>>
>>55279172

She ignited latent magical energy that Nissa had channeled. He own power was but a miniscule fraction of the force that slew the Titans.

On a side note, Izzet Chandra with Lightning/Ice abilities after looking into her own abilities sounds cool

So what's going to be the key strat to Admiral Beckett Brass?

I'm thinking stuff like Wonder, Levitate, and Goblin War Drums to ensure that my pirates get through, along with extra turns to be able to steal more shit. Lots of cheap mana rocks to be able to rush in with pirates fast so I can use my theft to set them back/lock them down.

>"You're speaking to me. Should I not pay attention?" I swear her lip trembles. "Is this not—not polite on your world?" She looks away for the first time, and one hand tugs a grass-stem ear. The snow of her cheek is brushed with sunset color.
>>
>>55279935
I just looked it up, you can't make a counterspell counter itself, since it is basically a bug in the system(if it resolves, it wasn't countered, but if it wasn't countered, then it didn't resolve).

So, just make the counterspell target imp's mischief, so that it fizzles out.

Why not Lightning Bolt vs Flame Slash
Flame Slash is probably the highest amount of damage you can cause for 1 mana without additional costs.

Also, fire is usually the element that can deal as much damage as you can as long as you have mana for it.

And if you want to compare, check Electrify vs Flame Lash, both 4cmc instant common red spells debuted in recent sets. Both deal 4 damage, but only Flame Lash can target players.

Marath/Gahiji? You have some white, some green, and some red staples, so you can figure out what you want to do. Maybe go full on Gahiji group slug, or grab an Uril and go Voltron, or strip out a color and do something like Xenagos.

>>55280648
Gahiji is bro tier, people will attack you less because it doesn't benefit them,
Mayael is a fun time, but a bit kitchen table,
Marath is the big boy though, good card and quite strong.

As >>55280684 said, pick up some staples and get some better lands.
>>
>>55278715
It is basically an auotonatic edh staple but not strong enough to replace Gaeas Cradle in 60-card elf decks (the reason for the cost). I think this is a pretty good workaround of the reserved list for casual play. It's great design and powerlevel.

>>55280242
Because they both were printed in alpha edition and have many variants that support the rule. Lightining is quick, efficient, and requires focus to use it to win a duel and usually instant. Fire is slow and needs to be charged up typically making it a sorcery or even an enchantment and consumes a lot of mana but, if it can slip past their defenses, it's devastating. Now look at fall of the titans, notice how it doubles the amount of mana that goes into it and how it is also an instant. Not even comet storm, which likely requires some geomancy, converts mana in killing that efficiently.
Chandra is doing things with fire that the best from the past wish they could do when walkers had an easier time shapeshifting into a human facing that direction rather than turning. It took a being that was inherently more in tune with red magic to punish her and she can essentially only do the basic red spell. Chandra is busted.

Madness is driving me fucking mad.

Can I play Alchemist's Greeting from my hand for 1R and put it in exile instead of my graveyard?

Do I have to play it for 4R and then pay another 1R to deal 4 damage a second time?

Do I have to play a card that makes me discard it, and then instead of putting it into my graveyard, pay 1R to trigger its ability and then put it in exile?
>>
>>55281348
A previous anon was wondering why I chose bolt and fireball to use as markers for lightining vs fire. Then I elaborated on how they are different based on their mechanics.
Also chandra is objectively one of the most powerful red beings in existance and is even a good deal dumber than most. Most red things wouldnt come close to affecting ulamog or kozilek let alone wiping them out of existance.

Something like that.
>>
>>55281847
The last thing is the closest to the truth. Whenever you discard it (so you need a way to do it), you discard it into exile where you have a choice to cast it or just put it in the yard.

It is a way of casting discarded cards. Or to double dip with cards that make you discard.

Alchemist Greeting sucks, by the way. Limited fodder.

When you discard a card with madness it goes into exile. Once it moves to exile you get the option to pay its madness cost (1R) if you do you cast the spell, ignoring all timing restrictions. Alternatiely you may chose to put it into the graveyard.

No. If you play it from your hand, you must pay 4R.

>Do I have to play it for 4R and then pay another 1R to deal 4 damage a second time?
No, when you cast a spell and it goes to the grave, it is not discarded.

>Do I have to play a card that makes me discard it, and then instead of putting it into my graveyard, pay 1R to trigger its ability and then put it in exile?
Close but not quite. When you go to discard a card with madness, it is put into exile. Once it is in exile, you may either cast it for the madness cost or put it into your graveyard.
It is worded as "discard it into exile" so that it triggers things that care about discarding cards. A card with madness is still discarded, it just 'discards' into the exile zone instead of the graveyard.

When you discard a card with madness it will always ends up in your graveyard weather you cast it or not since if you cast it, it is put into your graveyard upon resolution.

No matter what, you're only casting it once.

Madness is like a sudden discount, that also lets you cast it then, but in order to qualify you need to have somehow discarded it. Madness by itself doesn't let you discard.

Best way to use Madness is with things with activated abilities that discard, so you can Madness at any time, or with spells that make you discard, like Wild Guess, or Cathartic Reuinion.

You'll only get mocked if you don't have enough. There's little point in having that over dice. They're pretty to be sure, but they're pretty obstructing and if you have multiple counters on a dude it'd get cluttered fast compared to just turning the die so it reads a larger number.

Do you really need one for summoning sickness? That should be easy enough to keep track of.
>>
>>55283178
Not at all for the counters. People will probably think they're pretty cool and ask how/where you got them.
You might easily end up not having enough of those, depending on how many +1/+1 sort of stuff you run. Much easier to just use a couple d20 for something that has 32 counters on it, for instance.

The gems for summoning sickness might get you laughed at. Its a pretty neat reminder to use if you're a new player, though.

I've got a fuck ton of the counters, 1 through 5. Can use a 1/1, or if something has a 7 buff just put a 5/5 and a 2/2.

As for the summoning sickness gems, it's a fun and easy way to keep track of minor details, especially if several creatures were brought in on one turn.

Maybe I'm weird though. I play a lot of Magic Duels and enjoy the visual effects.

Alright, now I'm seeing one issue. Take a look at the thumbnail of your picture. Not the full picture, just the thumbnail. Notice how you can't tell a difference between any of the counters of the same type? It's probably going to be the same from across the table.

It may be difficult for an opponent to, at a moment's notice, see exactly how many counters are on something when +1/+1 is indistinguishable from +5/+5. With luxury of hindsight, I'd say you should've made them different shades, or made the actual numbers on the counters stand out more.

Maybe it's better in person, but it's definitely an issue to be aware of.

I can see what you're saying. The reason I made 1 through 5 counters though was to avoid having multiple pieces on a single card. They do look a little better in person as well. Instead of using three 1/1 counters that take up half the card, I'd just use a 3/3 instead.

They've printed so many angels that they've run out of ideas for them and the grand majority either rocket past the $10 mark or are unplayable jank.
I'd be glad if they didn't force another limited-playable only angel into the set just so they keep the trend going.

Bestow is fine and I wish it got costed more fairly. Totem Armour is far more broken than Bestow because when something with Bestow on it dies it leaves a smaller, usually worse creature than whatever was good enough to bother enchanting You still lose all the other non-bestow auras you were stacking on your dude.
Totem armour on the other hand still keeps your dude (or in most cases, your Boggle around) with all the powerful auras on it while losing only minor stats.

When totem armour triggers, your opponent may still have a 6/6 Hexproof, First Strike, Vigilance, Lifelink boggle with a Daybreak Coronet and an Etheral armour on it.

When you kill something with Bestow on it, they're left with an often sub-par creature that will die to removal like any other chump.
>>
>>55284994
Auras are typically an invitation to get 2-for-1'd. Totem Armor is just Auras without that limitation.
>>
>>55284963
>You're going to have to outline that.
Storm is broken as shit but it is it's own unique gameplan that has at least some ways to play around it.
Totem armour on the other hand took an already annoying, minimal interaction strategy of "stack buffs on hexproof dudes" and then removes even more of the already minimal interaction by making anything able to avoid lethal combat damage and board wide removal spells. It does nothing but make the decks that play voltron more frustrating to play against with incredible efficency, considering there are what, 4 or 5 cards with totem armour under 2cmc?

It's simply anti-interaction for cheap and I hate it.
>>
>>55285054
>Totem Armor is just Auras without that limitation.
Actually, they're auras that remove the already limited interaction most decks can have against voltron decks.
>>
>>55283961
