I have 3 whole decks which would have cost $400-$700 but instead they only cost about $30 because I put the paper prints in front of commons from boosters.

I used to feel bad about it but then when I see people with their $1k decks I stop feeling bad.

>>55361576
Why not just build budget? Making a usable deck for under 60 or so is an added level of challenge that still allows for plenty of freedom.

>>55361576

When I first started playing Magic I made a few decks that were like 15-20% proxy. It's lame as fuck to play againsg mana crypts and sylvan libraries and such with decks that cost $65 total so I would build with staples I couldn't afford.

Eventually though I realized that the aesthetic look and feel of real cards is important to the Magic experience for me, and proxies stick out like a sore thumb, so now I don't run any, and I spent a lot of money to do that.

Was it kinda dumb to spend a bunch of money on a hobby when I live in a small apartment? Yes. But if I ever get tired of magic I can sell out and get a nice Windfall of cash.

Ulcerate, splatterthug and firemane angel are in every modern deck ive ever made, that deck is worth $1000s of dollars

>>55361651
Not that guy, but the way I see building any set as R&D is to have uncommons and up get across what you really want from the set (uncommon legendaries, cycle of kamigawa dragons, praetors, etc.) And then use commons to fill out draft archetypes for limited. Judging any set by it's commons is bad practice now that the powerlevel has been set equal to rarity

>>55361670
What exactly is there to play? You get your sac outlet, probably a Blasting Station or Ashnod's into play, you put Karmic Guide into play say it brings back Reveillark, sac it, bring back Reveillark, sac it, bring back Karmic Guide. Congrats, loop demonstrated, collect your trophy.

>>55361670
I don't get it, what's the combo? Recuring your Saffi with Reveillark and using Guide coming back from Reveillark to get Reveillark back?
Did you forget to include that this needs a sac outlet and something to actually combo with or what am I missing.

>>55361651
Are you blind? The set features cards that were strong when they were in Standard, with a lot of notable limited power players like Witch, Eternal Thirst and Doomed Traveler as well. You're asking for something you were never promised.

>>55361745
I'm glad someone noticed that stuff like Topan Freeblade despite being in origins is still pretty fucking iconic to anyone who played limited.

>>55361742

I've tried running Jhoira before, but I'm never able to survive long enough with her for any of my suspended cards to resolve. Usually, once she hits the board, everyone focuses me.

>>55361843
Numot looks like a good fit. Lots of nice tax effects and enchantment support in white, too.

My friends and I are not inclined towards trying to cheese the limit. We're all broke college students, and the limit is a helpful guidelines to avoid an arms-race the makes us all even more broke than we already are.

I suppose "Ballpark 40-60" is more accurate than "$60 limit". We're not going to refuse to play someone for their deck being a smidge more expensive, but playing with a $40 deck versus a $300 one is silly.

Tarmanoa is exactly why it is a travesty that Soul Fire got made. The mechanic got firmly established as Naya. But they decided to fuck that color combination by making the first instance of it that references lifelink by name into Jeskai.

Well, it didn't exist at the time. I guess now I could, but I really liked that mechanic in Naya. Green's lifegain is surprisingly underutilized by WOTC despite being part of its identity since the very beginning.

Also, unlike Blue whose previous damage dealing (Psionic Blast and similar) is now considered to be mistake, Green still gets Hurricanes and shit so it really makes more sense in Green.

Start every play with
"4 out of 5 dentists agree I should play this card"
If someone tries to counter it just tell them you didnt actually play it you were just making a casual observation, if they dont counter it immediately pass into the next phase and tell them its to late now

>>55362804
yes, you can activate mana abilities whenever priority is passed to you. Doing this for no reason is retarded though since the active player can just initiate a phase change if they don't have anything left to do in that phase and then your pool empties

>Thread Question: What opportunities do you lament WotC missing or squandering?
Mechanics wise, every Boros legend ever.

Lore wise, that they shoved Eldritch Horror into Innistrad instead of making a Victorian/Edwardian plane with the tropes that actually make Eldritch Horror work such as xenophobia and mental illness.
Also the Sun Empire's lack of religion. Yeah they worship dinos, but Aztec religion had a cosmovision worthy of writting a whole collection of hardcore progrock operas that's being completely ignored because lol dinos. Mayael was a better tlatoani than Huatli and she wasn't even meant to be meso-american.

Art wise, no adequate bodice rippers either in the eldritch horror set or the pirate set. This game's getting too sex negative and it pulls me off that they avoid sensuality and passion even where it makes the most sense. I'm also mad about no Persephone or Aphrodite in Theros.

Brion Stoutarm is fun and unique. Archangel Avacyn is an interesting take on Boros. Aurelia is combatcentric, but at least she's really good at what she does and can play around with tap abilities. Other than them, I'd agree that pretty much every other Boros commander is a bit boring and disappointing. Maybe Gisela gets an honorable mention as well.

Every Boros legendary ever. Like seriously, I don't think there's a color combination as starved for unique and fun generals as Boros.

Giving red the ability to make token copies of enchantments during Theros.

Not actually going to court and just saying fuck the Reserved List back when it was an issue they could have forced in 2009.

Hiring SJWs as lead writers and world creative people who don't actually know a lick of history outside of "muh white devil" and "muh oppression" and basically completely fucking up meso-America and the whole dynamic between the Aztecs and the Conquistadors.

In fact let's just call it all of the creative time hirings in the last 10 years.

Getting rid of the core sets. Just....fucking why you unbelievable fuck canoes. You tried this already you stupid cock gnoblers. You tried this and it DIDN'T FUCKING WORK. That's why we went to fucking yearly core sets to begin with.

Not printing more Enchantment support in Theros. They said that Theros was going to be an Enchantment Mirrodin. They fucking lied to us.

Not printing Modern Masters and Iconic Masters and Eternal Masters at the same quantity and length of time that they print the Core Sets in an effort to bring down the prices on format staples like Fetches and Goyf.

Killing official support for Legacy like that unyielding fuckfaces that they are.

The list goes fucking on and on, almost all of it done under Rosewater.

>>55363468
That sounds really cliche and kind of generally low quality.

>>55363474
>They said that Theros was going to be an Enchantment Mirrodin. They fucking lied to us.
But anon, didn't you love all your overcosted Bestow and Constellation cards that got totally overshadowed by "Nearly vanilla beaters" (RG Monsters) and "Dude to put pants on" (Heroic)?

>>55363474
B-but muh "muh Rosewater boogeyman" argument!

Seriously, though, they don't want to bring down the price on format staples, because that would make their friends at SCG, ARG, and the like all sad. And, at least from what I've seen at the LGSes I've been to, the Magic community doesn't take kindly to new players.

Even when I've been in other states, the Magic community has always been the most hostile, exclusive, and cliquish.

Is there a card that makes an/all opponents discard when one of your creatures dies. Besides Sad Hypnotist, sort of like Zulaport Cutthroat.

>>55363474
I'd bet some of your favorite cards and even some of your favorite sets were designed by Mark Rosewater.

>>55363573
Gary was a single card that created an archetype out of the block before it though so he's a different case.

>>55363577
>not using them because it'd upset landwhales

How about not using them because they're cliche dime store novel garbage?

>>55363594
No. Stop for a moment and consider how ridiculous that would be, especially considering how much they limit instant discard.

>>55363504
It was great, along with the total lack of decent enchantment recursion that could have been printed and the complete and utter saturation of useless mechanics.
>Heroic, Inspired, Tribute, Strive
Seriously, whoever thought that it was a good idea to have seven goddamn mechanics in a small set is a complete fucking idiot and should have been fired.

>>55363514
I think a lot of it is, a good chunk of the Magic community is heavily invested in one format or another or even multiple formats, and most new players have no goddamn clue what those are. So nobody really wants to play "kitchen table Magic" especially the kinds of people who show up to a FLGS every week.

>>55363548
Haha, no. It's part meme and part he's the director of R&D and he's been the director of R&D for almost 15 years now, and he's been heavily involved in the marketing and development of the game for almost it's entire existence. He has clout to throw around when it comes to this stuff.

>>55363558
It is a legal thing, that's why they backed down. They made what counts as a legally binding contract with all of their buyers that cards on the Reserved List would never be reprinted. So technically speaking if they decide to say "Fuck the reserved list." and reprint things like the OG Duals and the Power Nine, collectors could sue them for breach of contract. They had a situation where they could have forced the issue back in 2009 with the collectors edition Karn, but they didn't and now just kind of pretend that those cards and the formats that they are played in don't exist.

>>55363474
>They said that Theros was going to be an Enchantment Mirrodin.

Source that. The quotes I can find all have them saying that Theros was "The Greek Block" first and an Enchantment block second. The playerbase heard "enchantment matters" as "Enchantment Mirrodin". You lied to yourself.

>>55363680
Or vampiric rites

>>55363685

It's also the way that Mirrodin was described when it was first announced as an "Artifacts Matter" block. So yeah, there's definite correlation there.

>>55363654
>He has clout to throw around when it comes to this stuff.

So then your argument is "It's probably his fault because I don't like him, not because I have any proof that it is".

So, what then? You think Aaron Forsythe was in his office, finger hovering over the button to print another hundred thousand boxes of Modern Masters when in swaggers Mark Rosewater, neck stooped from the weight of his giant, solid gold Star of David, who proceeded to kick Aaron's desk over and say "I think we need to hire a black lady to make sure Theros is diverse and also I'm killing Legacy as my first step towards killing all of Magic!"

>>55363725
Again, source that.
Not just vague allusions, a source.

>>55363713
>Implying their second most popular block in terms of percentage of the player base at the time was a mistake

It shitter-shattered acquisition and sales. From the perspective of longterm existing players and from the safety of hindsight, yes, Time Spiral block was great and even MaRo says he loved it and doesn't regret doing it. However, from the perspective of trying to keep the game going, it very much was a huge mistake.

It did clue them into the notion they have two very distinct markets that react to products differently, and the longterm enfranchised players are the sort they now print Conspiracy for.

It'd be kind of hard to sell Mirrodin as anything else. There wasn't a prevailing theme more prominent than "Metal World".

I'm sure he thinks that MaRo is doing what he thinks is best for the game and using his seniority and clout to influence decisions towards that goal.

He just doesn't always agree with MaRo's idea of what's god for Magic.

>Something is described as "inspired by"

>>55363842
Yes but the point is that when you have a block described as Artifacts Matter and it's composed of like 50%+ artifacts and a good chunk of the rest of it is cards that interact or synergize with artifacts, you've established a precedent for using the phrase "X matters" to describe a block. So when you then go and describe a block as "Enchantments matter". People are going to be expecting 50%+ of the cards to be enchantments, and a sizeable portion of the rest to be cards that interact or synergize with enchantments. And they didn't do any of that with Theros. It had maybe twice the number of enchantments a standard block did, and had like maybe five or six non-enchantment enchantment synergy cards.

Okay, but Kaladesh is also an "artifacts matter" block and it's got like 20% artifact saturation. Innistrad is a "graveyard matters" block and maybe 15% of the cards say "graveyard" in the text. The "precedent" has a bunch of other examples showing it can vary anywhere from probably 10% to over 50%, which is a pretty wide range.

>>55363886
But they couldn't do anything Indian with the set either. If they made Hindu gods they would've been shit on by the religious. If they touched the caste system they would've been called assholes and racist. If they touched on the problems of colonization, population, and poverty everyone would've been sad/offended. None of these sell sets. So instead they said it was about India TM and referenced only the most superficial parts of India like trains, elephants, and wily bandalars so they could sell product while getting good boy points for being "inclusive." It could've been really cool but instead it was shallow and filled with garbage.

Hopefully when we go to Not!Africa it will be better executed. Stuff like Anansi, Sonjarta, and the Mali Empire.

Kaladesh is post-Theros and therefore doesn't factor into this example of the disappointment with Theros, and Innistrad had other mechanical themes that tied into and accentuated the graveyard mechanic. Whereas you have Odyssey Block which was also a graveyard themed block and had nearly 30% of the cards in the block interacting with the graveyard in some way, or Invasion block, which was a multi-color/color matters block where nearly a third of the cards in the block were either multi-colored or interacted with color in some way. It's the same thing with Ravnica and Return to Ravnica. And Kamigawa was a "Legendary Matters" block and had almost a third of it's cards either Legendary or cared about things being legendary. Same thing with most of the blocks that are described as having a "theme".

>>55364003
>Will there only be one main antagonist or 3 just to troll sunni?

Colorado, but I moved away. Good guys. Sometimes you will find some cool guys who take casual to it's furthest or some old guys who come back with old standard decks. Lotta fun just bashing decks with completely differant mindset and personalities behind them. Key, I think to this, is to get shops to promote casual play. Standard brings in kiddies allowances, but if you want a healthy casual, give standard a night off every so often and then they'll have no competition to do, so they play magic with who ever.

>>55364229
Alright.
So, for starters, 25% of Theros is Enchantment cards and another 5% care about Enchantments, or produce Enchantment tokens.

>other mechanical themes that tied into and accentuated the graveyard mechanic

Okay. Tell me what you know about India that is not related to myth or colonization? Can you tell me about Muhgal Empire with out google? What about the Punjabi region? Even if you can tell me about them most people who play M:tG can not. Further more they do not give a fuck about was happening in India in 950 A.D. From a pop culture perspective the only things that matter about India are Colonization, Ghandi, and Hinduism. No one cares that Indian women are facing a 14% increase to the price of tampons from government imposed tax. No one cares about the three way border conflict between India, Pakistan, and China in the Kashmir region. And I bet you almost anything most people can't tell you about Bactria, Sihkism, or Jains. Hell I bet most people can't even tell you what countries made up British India with out looking that up.

The ultimate point is there was no reason to do an India plane unless you were going to reference shit people know. And there was no good way for them to reference what little the average person knows about India with out blowing up in their face.

That's a tunnel anon. I need STREETS

>>55363306
they feel like that because we're only being shown an area the size of a small state - sometimes even as small as a single city.
for example, kaladesh apparently had a whole bunch of stuff beyond the borders of ghirapur, but we never saw it beyond what's on land cards and a handful of creatures because the story was laser-focusing on this dumb inventor's fair

the 2-set system also doesn't help because there's now vastly less cards to represent a plane and what's going on in it, which i've also noticed makes it feel like the plot is going way too fast - in one set everything is hunky dory and a normal day for the inhabitants, and in the next we've gone straight into apocalypse with nothing in between

>>55365263
The 2-Set Block model is being demolished now because they realized how much of a fuck-up it's been. The trouble is that you can see why they did it, and it made sense. There have been several blocks, like original Zendikar, original Innistrad, and Theros, that could have lived comfortably in two sets without causing a lot of issues. One big problem is that they immediately launched into storylines that were very poorly suited for it, with the exception of Amonkhet and probably Ixalan. Battle for Zendikar and Shadows Over Innistrad could have both benefited significantly from having room to breathe.

Luckily, beginning with Dominaria, we're moving into the best potential future for it, where it'll be done on a case-by-case basis.

Assuming you have fetches and accelerants and so on in your deck, when should you mulligan in edh?

>>55365765
I will mulligan if I don't have 3 lands, but my preferred hand is 3 or 4 lands, a mana rock, a removal or counterspell, and then one bomb/combo piece.

Thankfully I play with friends in casual mostly, so we allow one mulligan where you can get ride of certain cards, or if that fails, a full hand mulligan to 7.

>>55364808
That card causes problems because drawing 2 cards for free (that is, "free" relative to the total number of cards in your hand, on the field, and in your graveyard) in Yugioh is busted and can swing the course of a game. Pot of Greed is banned for a reason, and the card in question is just Pot of Greed with an arguably negligible drawback. The self-mill has nothing to do with it, except that it perhaps isn't enough of a cost to justify running the card.

>>55365905
I'm retarded. "Isn't enough of a cost to justify how powerful the card is."

>>55365765
If your opening hand doesn't do anything. If you have no line of play, mull until you get one. That means having the cards and the lands/rocks/ramp needed to play them. And obviously, if your general provides you with a viable course of action, then you just need the mana to play it.

>>55365928
I tend to go with "have some presence by turn 2/3" depending on how fast things are.

Tappedout

Let's say my storm count is 7.

I cast Ignite Memories
With Ignite Memories on the stack, I cast Fork, targeting Ignite Memories.

How many copies do I get?

>>55366268
Storm triggers off of Cast, so the copy you get from Fork doesn't create its own set of Storm Copies.
>Cast Ignite with SC:7
7 copies here

8 copies with 9 total resolutions of Ignite

You should never trust people with lowercase, two-letter names.

How big is your wallet? Because colorless EDH is gonna cost you a shitload to even make functional.

is there any reason not to play sol ring, grim monolith, mana vault, mana crypt, temple of the false god, and ancient temple in every deck?

I want to build a zombie tribal with either Gisa or G&G as the commander. How do they play compared to each other, and which one do you think is the most fun to play?

>>55366743
the cost

>>55366701
fucking a. his name is jose.

>>55366743
Temple is unreliable. Ancient Temple isn't a card.

>>55363861
Grixis, with artifact shenanigans
Pregnancy / hyper pregnancy

>>55366743
>Sol Ring in every deck
Duh.
>Mana vault in every deck
If you have no shenanigains for it, it's marginal, but it's still mana positive so generally you should strongly consider running it.
>Grim Monolith in every deck
As above, but since you can untap it at any time it's far better. At 50 bucks last I checked, though, it's the sort of card that will overrun a budget real quick.
>Mana Crypt in every deck
The only concern here is budgetary, but that is a concern.
>Ancient tomb in every deck
At 3+ colors it becomes a little shaky. Never a truly bad include, but not an auto-include either. Depends on what the rest of your mana base looks like. Also, budget
>Temple of the False God in every deck
If you're not land ramping, Temple is a trap. As such it should generally only be played in decks that include green.

Ok, what are the mana auto-includes if I'm playing on xmage and budget is no concern?

>>55364301
Of that 5%, a good 5/6ths are enchantment hate. Pull the other one.
>Heroic
>Not being one of the biggest examples of a mechanic that Development ruined
Dude, seriously. Stop defending this train wreck of a block. The lore was cool and the story was decent compared to JaceFest 2012, but mechanically the block was hot garbage.

>>55366927
Ring and Crypt. Grim if you're in 3 colors or fewer or have untap tricks. Vault under similar circumstances. After that it depends on colors. Generally you want all applicable signets. Lands start with all the ABUR duals, shocks, and fetches you can run then grow out from there.

I actually intentionally excluded enchantment hate.

Terrible new players actually do hate self mill but they are the bottom of the barrel most casual players.

If you ever play with an idiot that is new to the game you'll see that they consider milling to be a way of destroying cards and to them Traumatize is overpowered. They get angry if someone mills a card they wanted to draw.

its not a legal thing, the RL isnt a legally binding contract and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either a fucking retard or an investor trying to scare you/wotc into never questioning it

>>55363654
>It is a legal thing, that's why they backed down. They made what counts as a legally binding contract with all of their buyers that cards on the Reserved List would never be reprinted. So technically speaking if they decide to say "Fuck the reserved list." and reprint things like the OG Duals and the Power Nine, collectors could sue them for breach of contract. They had a situation where they could have forced the issue back in 2009 with the collectors edition Karn, but they didn't and now just kind of pretend that those cards and the formats that they are played in don't exist.
You are a fucking moron.
