I want to play "old" Magic, not necessarily with old cards only (because those are expensive/hard to find) but I always try to base my decks around older cards. I made a blue robots deck with Triskelion and Traxos for example.

no, you're not, you're trying to steer the conversation away from counterspells being a bad mechanic because you know you have no actual defense for it outside of whining about edh which btw only proves I was dead on to call you a friendless, nogames loser.

Unable to cope with that you're trying to misdirect in the hopes that I'll drop the subject altogether. It's obvious, it's pathetic and frankly, kind of childish

>>90294551
Counterspells and similar instant-speed foils are one of those truly great game mechanics which exponentially multiply player interaction, because they turn every untapped land into a potentially instant-speed screw, they take something that was going to happen anyway and turn it into a medium of interaction.

You give me no reason to expect a reasonable discussion, so I'm mostly just saying this to make you mad, but we can have a reasonable discussion if you want.
>>
>>90294551
You could've easily used the opportunity to talk about how counterspells and other such things are affecting Standard and Modern. I was giving you a big, wide opening for that sort of thing. Genuine discussion. We don't need to just call each other names all day.

>>
>>90294110
Runeterra has tons of problems
The centralization of decks around champion cards make strategies much simpler and more linear (draw centerpiece to win the game, struggle if you don't. Nearly every deck revolves around some sort of engine or bomb if they aren't an aggro or tempo deck), the game's still really young so the card pool is tiny, spells are inherently underpowered because of the spell mana banking mechanic, the aforementioned centerpiece cards make removal naturally even more underpowered and the community gets every form of efficient removal nerfed by bitching about it enough, lack of viable alternative formats means there are less ways for cards not good in traditional constructed play to express their value in different environments, and their form of the color pie is still very underdeveloped and plenty of regions feel worse thought out than the average white card does.
It also doesn't help that their mechanics simply leave less room for depth and complex mechanics. The average Runeterra game is more complex than standard at it's worst, but not much else
For as much as we bitch about it Magic is probably the most mechanically sound game on the market, even after all this time

Countering a spell is literally just casting Murder but with one less step. This conversation is legitimately retarded.
>>
>>90295175
The first step in forming a rational argument is to stop saying things that are objectively wrong. Counterspells are not literally removal, preventing a permanent from entering is literally different from destroying it after it enters, you are wrong. Countering spells is literally interaction, it doesn't matter if they hurt you're feelings, they're still interaction and you are wrong. I've seen people make reasonable arguments about how counterspells reduce interaction in the wrong term, and they were also wrong, but they were still more reasonable than anything which you might be expected to say.

And how is this different? The only difference is, you don't get the ETB trigger when something gets countered instead of destroyed. Which means you want to use/abuse ETB triggers, outing yourself as an endlessvalue retard. Literally everything wrong with the game today can be backtracked to "creatures do more now than just being beatsticks" and in turn, creatures had to become like this because of the planeswalkers, to keep up with their value generation. So in short, your opinion is shit, fuck planeswalkers and fuck the mythic rarity.

I've bought a few retro border cards that are reprints of old cards and a few cards from the list. Generally, I will buy reprints that look like their original print. Especially if they keep collector number and set symbol. White border cards are unpopular, tho. White border print of cards tend to be cheaper than black border prints, so reintroducing that would be a bad idea.

I don't buy reprints with new art, tho. Never ever.

Questing druid rug delver feels stronger than even EI delver ever did. The velocity of threats you pump out is fucking insane, and questing druid goes out of control really quick in the deck because every spell you cast is non green. The fact that it is an instant and castable EOT already gives it upside over EI's mana restriction where you have to cast everything that turn. Seeing 1 less card doesnt matter when questing druid itself is castable as an actual threat as well. The deck also gives 0 fucks about bowmaster as well.

lightpaws is fun to built and can be cheap depending on how tryhard you want to be with the lands. lightpaws, cryptomancer and gladecover are cheap, sram is cheap if you want him, the auras you play are cheap especially after the recent reprints. If you skip the mana confluence and instead play a bunch of painlands, maybe some fast lands and a crystal grotto you should be good to go.

After extensive playtesting I have concluded that although Soul Sisters is a playable deck, it is not a competitive one at all. Having 12-16 Soul Sisters and only one payoff creature in Celestial Unicorn kneecaps the potential of the deck big time. The best thing that could happen to this archetype would be for Ajani's Pridemate to get downshifted, which I don't see why not. They already downshifted Monastery Swiftspear which is a far more powerful creature. It's a fun deck to play with noobs and other casual decks but I'd never bring it to a tournament because it's so mediocre and disappointing.

Depends on how much you enjoy aggro, because that's gonna be your go-to for budget. There's some variation, though.

>Mono-U Spirits (tempo-y) (can be upgraded to UW Spirits)
>Mono-W Humans (white weenies go-wide)
>Mono-Red (burn-y)
>Gruul Aggro (there's a couple different spins, from bushwhacker to basically Mono-Red + Atarka's Command)
>Boros Aggro (big focus on buffs/protection)

Of those, Mono-Red or Mono-U Spirits are gonna be the cheapest.

have you tried adding a marauding blightpriest to drain while gaining? I'm interested in soul sisters as well but I'm not ready to spent the money only to have something unplayable in my shelf. My approach where 16 sisters, 4 blightpriests, 4 unicorns, 4 unearth and a deadly dispute / reckoners bargain package with artifact lands. 8 payoffs is not many but with ways to get them back and lots of draw it seems enough. I also adding of one mind and splashed some filtering as well as some inspiring overseers to stop glint hawks while gaining double, but they seemed too slow to me...

I have not tried the variant that splashes Black, have been pretty much excursively playing mono White. The deck has a awkward landbase where I did 2 Radiant Fountain, 3 Orzhov Basilica, then 3 Secluded Steppe for utilities, and the other 12 are basic Plains. I'm actually intrigued to try out the W/B variant since the Blight Priest reminds me of Disciple of the Vault. What's your landbase look like?

Dude, I’ve Bowmastered so many RUG delver players it’s nuts. Guy has a flipped delver, plays Seek the Beast EOT, and reveals ponder lands. Draws, attacks, plays Druid into ponder, bowmasters with mana for daze, hit delver, kill delver off ponder draw. On my turn I fatal push the druid and force his force (I assume his ponder draw) and that’s was an easy game.
More than a few like this, bowmasters is very strong against that deck. When their threats are so small and they telegraph draw cards off seek the beast, it’s very easy to control the game.

It's a card draw engine that's cheap, flexible (notice it says spell, so not even counterspells stop the effect), splashable, harder to remove and it replaces itself to boot.
>>
>>90303501
It's a damn solid card even without factoring in the unfair bullshit you can pull off with the evoke incarnations, cost reduction, etc. 2 mana permanent that draws a card is the floor, and that's already quite playable in several formats, but the ceiling is very high. If I were the designer, I probably would have maybe made it UG, the archetype for UG in the set seems to be 5 mana spells and in limited I find myself slamming this into every green deck I make.

Is it banworthy? Nope, the bullshit cards that cheat mana value definitely are though, but WoTC won't ban their money cards.

Up the Beanstalk is in this way an embodiment of the Judaic concept of the scapegoat: lay all the sins (broken cards) of Israel (WoTC's designers and developers) upon the second goat (random standard set uncommons) and cast it into the wilderness (ban it)

>>90304520
>when mythic rare was introduced
Shards of alara, then? Wanna know the funniest part?

"Magic was the first trading card game, but many others followed in its path. One of the changes most trading card games made was that they had more than three rarities. Realizing that the extra rarity, something rarer than one in every pack, could add some extra excitement and reinvigorate the collecting aspect of the game, Wizards opted to add the fourth rarity, starting with Shards of Alara.
The addition of mythic rares was introduced in an article I wrote (called "The Year of Living Changerously") and I don't think I've ever written a column that has generated a louder response. Many players hated the idea of a new harder-to-collect rarity, even if it made other rarities easier to collect. The debate has shifted over the years from "should there be mythic rares?" to "which cards should be mythic rares?" but it is still a hot-button topic. (...) Some cards are designed for Limited. Those cards want to be lower in rarity. Some cards are designed for Constructed and cause problems in Limited. Those cards want to be higher in rarity. The cards that are crucial to make Limited work will push toward common, and the cards disruptive to Limited will push toward mythic rare. (...) It's important that players get excited by the mythic rares, and players tend to get less excited by cards they don't understand. (...) Mythic rare is occasionally where we put exciting cards that mess up Limited in a way we're unhappy with.(...) Planeswalkers always go at mythic rare. Most legendary creatures go in mythic rare. Mythic rare will occasionally do high-profile cycles (but the barrier is high) (...) " - MaRo

It's not really a question of green's power level, but how its design exemplifies the worst aspects of the game right now.
>Very little interaction, it's an egocentric colour that only cares about what its player is doing
>Most of its effects are geared to telling other players to fuck off from interaction (can't be countered, targeting green monsters gives value instantly, ETB effects stapled onto creatures, cards you gain value from if they're discarded)
>It somehow keeps receiving some of the most broken value/digging cards (Once upon a time, Collected Company, Up the Beanstalk)

I get that green's whole schtick is good creatures, but FIRE design has taken that to its extreme conclusion.

bramble familiar doesn't really count as a creature, and the two good green adventure cards are effectively gold cards

>>Very little interaction, it's an egocentric colour that only cares about what its player is doing
It has plenty of interaction between fight spells and Withstand Death-style effects. I'd say that giving Green interaction is an issue, green should be the color about dumb dinosaurs, it should be the color that asks for removal, with big monsters threatening imminent destruction should you not pack your doomblades.

>>90305160
Indestructible no longer does it really. It's a shame how awful Thrun is right now considering how useful he has been in previous formats. Exile removal no longer incurs a premium. At least green has some good Hexproof effects, but with the best edict ever printed and two incredibly strong exile wraths Hexproof doesn't do anythin

It makes sense that a huge Tyrranax was transformed into a phyrexian, yes. But it doesn't makes sense for calling them "Rex" as in "tyrannosaurus rex" because that name could be used in another setting/world. I think he wouldn't be annoyed if it was called someshit like "Tyrranax Abomination" or other shit that would clearly covey the "unpure" nature of the beast.

By the way that "not being plane specific" is what made C Sphynx being excluded from receiving the phyrexian subtype.

>There are Tyrranaxes in other planes.
Are there really though? The original Tyrranax incorporates metal and Mirrodin shit into its design. I know the lore says that every living thing on Mirrodin is extraplanar, but they clearly evolved to adapt to the plane, even humans have rock and metal spikes growing out of them. I assume the Tyrranax is a case of a dinosaur getting abducted and adapting into a different species of dinosaur. Is it ever stated in the books that Tyrranaxes are found outside of Mirrodin?

Anon, every organic life in mirrodin was caught from other planes. This is in the lore. The mycosynth (like in mycosynth lattice) was a mutated fungus that would transform metal into organical and organical into metal, it didn''t reshape the creatures, the creatures would only start to have hands or other parts of their bodies transformed into "living metal".
Everything in mirrodin that wasn't an artifact creature got captured in other worlds like a pokemon is captured by a pokebol and sent into a prison (and the og mirrodin had a prison theme btw).

nta, but you can say that they exist on other planes, but you have no evidence. at least at this point. And no, not every living being on mirrodin was brought in from another plane. Just the original beings. Karn even transported all the creatures memnarch back to their home plane at the end of the the mirrodin novel. Yet Tyrannax still exist on Mirrodin by the time of Scars. Anon is completely correct in saying that the specific species of Tyrannax could be a unique and exclusive evolution of a dinosaur from another plane, there is no lore that supports the opposite. Not to mention, the phyrexians, likely vorinclex, could be the one who named this specific subspecies of tyrannax, The Tyrannax Rex, fitting because Rex means king and Vorinclexes philosophy is rule through capability to survive.

>. Not to mention, the phyrexians, likely vorinclex, could be the one who named this specific subspecies of tyrannax, The Tyrannax Rex, fitting because Rex means king and Vorinclexes philosophy is rule through capability to survive.
I think the point is that by using a "common" name that could have been used for other more generic card the design team cucked themselves just as in the case of Consecrated Sphinx and Wurmcoil Engine. Both of the above have no conotations to phyrexia (though name or ability) but Consecrated Sphinx has an art depicting a phyrexian sphinx and Wurmcoil Engine after the errata now have a weird masterpiece because it implies that phyrexians were in kaladesh (if we look too much into it).
The phyrexian subtype is just a mess and wotc can't keep it consistent.
Now we have a situation of:
We have a sphinx who should have it
We have a wurm that should not have it
We have a dinosaur that has it but in a eventual usage of the species they can't give a cool name because of it was used for a one time thing.

(and btw wotc should use the invented species more often, leave to ixalan and muraganda the real dinosaurs and use invented ones in other planes)
>>
>>90306539
I understand what you're saying but your work is faulty.
Tyrannax is/was never going to appear outside of mirrodin. So in the block where they know Mirrodin is going to effectively cease existing after it, they can name it whatever.
>Consecrated Sphinx has an art depicting a phyrexian sphinx
And it had art depicting it as non-phyrexian, the amonkhet masterpiece, long before they made phyrexian a type.
>now have a weird masterpiece because it implies that phyrexians were in kaladesh (if we look too much into it).
It really doesn't need to imply the phyrexians were there, it could imply a number of plausible things, like a planeswalker giving the schematic to a kaladeshian, kaladesh, being so close to the Blind Eternities, means that an artificer could be inspired by visions of another world (Yotian soldier bit), etc. Honestly the Mox opal is a bigger lore breach.
But that's the only argument that has any teeth.

The Imperiosaur species is a dinosaur from muraganda that has already received two cards

Tbh that's because every other color caught up with green in creature quality. Having on curve stats used to be rare outside of green and smaller white creatures. I still remember when non-green colors got their first vanilla bears as a noticeable creep. If black can have a 4/5 for 4 with no drawbacks, then green needs to catch up, and they can only do so much stat inflation. So green needs to draw cards gain life ramp and blow up the opponent's stuff to creep itself.

Double sleeving with perfect sleeves and regular sleeves is the standard.

It's 5000 copies entering the market in the hands of the people that want those cards... meaning those cards won't be a selling point of sealed product anymore.

Demonstrate how the product in my image has negatively affected the reprint equity of the cards in said product. For reference, it's the current Secret Lair as per:

So all discussion regarding low sales is pointless because it's just a simple case of individual products not containing things people want.

And just so we're clear Secret Lairs ARE WotC attempting to cash in their reprint equity. Are you attempting to argue that SLs are tanking singles prices disproportionately more than if the cards were reprinted in a regular set?

1) How can you possibly know that?
2) If you're an "investor", go drink bleach

>Tyrannax is/was never going to appear outside of mirrodin.
Not true, all mirrodin creatures were always a case similar to the "time shifted" from future sight. They appeared there first (most cases) and would only return in other sets in the future (and not aways like they were seen in mirrodin). For exemple Loxodons and Veldaken came right after (2 years) from mirrodin, leonins (being called leonins) just came in Alara. Green Skin elves took a while to being printed (not counting mutated ones from onslaught), and soo on.
>the amonkhet masterpiece
Think it was a secret lair.
>But that's the only argument that has any teeth.
Nah it is hard to defend the phyrexian subtype implementation. The exemple of the Wurmcoil being made into a phyrexian isn't even the most retarded one. For exemple Ramos, Dragon Engine is literally a Dragon Engine made in Phyrexia used by mishra in the brother's war, with a planeswalking devise to go back to phyrexia...
But his card didn't receive the phyrexian typeline.
It is just arbitrary, in his case maybe because he was good, and his typeline would get massive for future printings, they decided to not give the subtype.
>>
>>90309104
phyrexian subtype should only be on the blood-based phyrexians and not on machines or OG operation-based phyrexians.

Except you literally cant prove that and that's not the case.

Neither can you prove that creatures from og mirrodin will not appear in a non mirrodin form in other planes.

Ramos, dragon engine is literally stated to be phyrexian, with his home plane being original phyrexia.
It is true that there were some copies of the dragon engines but the original ones (like ramos) were phyrexians.

That doesn't remove it from being a phyrexian. There have been phyrexians who moved against phyrexia, and even new phyrexians
can be disloyal to them. (Geth for new phyrexian)
Xantcha for exemple hated being a phyrexian but she couldn't change what she was.
Also if it was so easy to cease to be Phyrexian then Belbe would have done so...

You go infinite with omen hawker, saryth, and any 2 creatures. Now you have infinite blue mana to use in abilities, and you can use that mana to untap your creatures. If you have a less restrictive mana generating ability you can make infinite mana to use for anything. Or you can get infinite power with misery's shadow. Go wild.

Yo Bubbles, I was thinking during my boring quarterly spendings call, have you consider Klothys in Rug in this meta? I feel like Prismatic Ending is not being played as often as it was previously.

That only means that magic has literally nobody taking care of consistency within a set.
The design department is headless (brainless) they got into a point that even custom cards creators have more respect for the game and are more consistent at creating cards.
