Well, that card might have its ups, but it also has downs. Mostly in the artwork.

idk, it's harder to cast, doesnt have haste and still dies to languish and most spot removal. i don't see a huge advantage here over incorrigible youths except for the normal CMC

I didn't think they could pull it off but this set is shaping up to be worse than BFZ.
>>
>>48031666
At least the art is mostly good and the lore is somewhat interesting, outside of stuff in which Jace and his Merry Men are directly involved.
Lili's battle against Emrakul might actually be fun, Sorin is probably in full angst mode and really wanting to bitchslap Nahiri, Geralf and Gisa are alive and have found a common cause, Thalia (and Ulrich too, I think, but somewhere else) is gathering her forces expecting a Glorious Last Stand which is something Innistrad's people seem to be really good at, I think we have yet to learn what Odric and Olivia are doing and I'm sure Ludevic still has some fun tricks up his sleeves.
Personally, I'm enjoying most of it so far.
>>
>>48031914
Same here. I was really worried that Emrakul was going to replace a lot of Innistrad's flavour with LOL WASTELAND LOL TENTACLES, but so far things have actually been terrific. I'm loving how the mutations involve things like goat's heads.
>>
Would an Eldrazi mutant survive being taken to another plane by a planeswalker, or would they die from being separated from Emrakul or from not being full on Eldrazi?
>>
>>48032171
I don't think planeswalkers can take people with them

Why couldn't they just have made Hellbent good?

>>
>>48032171
Better question: Can Lili affect dead Eldrazi with her necromancy?
>>
>>48032198
Technically speaking they can, but the rigors of the Blind Eternities will annihilate the non-planeswalker in moments.

Urza killed K'rikk like that and I don't think it's ever been specified that this feature was lost in the mending.
>>
>>48032198
Then how do summon spells work?

Seriously, my understanding was that there was some sort of agreement or contract between the Planeswalker and creature to come to their aid when summoned if not on the same plane.
>>
>>48032299
Mana constructs made from memory. The greater familiarity/importance dictates legendary, from normal, to token.
>>
>>48032299
I think it's like you're summoning a reflection of the creature from when you met it made from your own mana

Hence why you can get multiple iterations of a Legendary creature from different points in time
>>
>>48032299
Summons for nonlegendary creatures just create the creature out of aether and mana.
Summons for legendary creatures create some sort of simulacrum of the particular entity.
>>
>>48032331
>>48032335
>>48032340
WOW

That's a lot cooler than what I thought I read a while ago and makes a lot more sense.

Maybe I confused myself with Planeswalker cards.
>>
>>48032198
They can't transport anything living without killing it, but people are just mass like their clothes and weapons so it would be a convenient way of hiding bodies if they make a serial killer planeswalker.

Eldrazi are different because they are native to the Blind Eternities.

The translation is:
+1: 2/2 black zombie, lose 1 life.
-2: search any library for a creature and put it into its owner graveyard
-4: Emblem "Sacrifice a creature: target creature -2/-2 "

I didn't even pay attention of what she does, and balancing aside, creatures in PT is "criaturas", cards is "cartas", and the phrase "Depois aquele jogador embaralhar seu próprio grimório." basically reads "After that player shuffle his own library."

The zombies ETB tapped. "Virado" is tapped in Portuguese.

Tournaments tend to play a big(ger) part in most formats but when it comes to edh people usually just play a game or two with pals, EDH tournaments do exist but prize incentives tend to make it a degenerate combofests with some cunt winning on turn 3 with splinter twin or hermit druid before the other players have layed their second land, but anyway the point is other constructed formats encourage you to sink loads of time into the tournament system but EDH doesnt which is nice

It's like you don't enjoy secret tech.

yes I know I can't use the mana to pay for madness

Liliana isn't my openly source of discard, but she is frequently out and flipped. This new vampire also happens to flip Liliana, and can be brought back the turn after you +2 her.

Challenge yourself to always have an average curve under three. Your games at all levels will get better.

>>
>>48034537
>I can't use the mana to pay for madness
I'm pretty sure you can, it's a mana ability so it doesn't use the stack. you have the mana before the madness trigger resolves.
>>
>>48034537
>yes I know I can't use the mana to pay for madness
Can you explain this?
>>
>>48034537
Why not? It's a mana ability.
>>
>>48034537
Madness is a trigger which uses the stack, overeager apprentice has a mana ability which does not use the stack.

Basically, as soon as you use the ability you already have the mana, which you can use for the madness trigger.

God, I hope we at least get some green emerge Eldrazi and not solely blue ones.

probably. Emrakul's influence suggests emerge is going to be the g/u archetype replacing the g/u investigate build from SOI, so it would make sense. I would expect at least some emerge in every color, but it depends how big they want the mechanic to be.
>>
>>48034777
Except now it doesn't benefit from Human buffs and can't flip off Moonmist and Immerwolf actually shuts it down

but the eldrazi wolves all have an activated flip and don't turn back, so not only does it start you on the back side, it also saves you mana and your opponent can't force the cheap side back on you.

I have no infinites in my deck on purpose just because of whiners. All it would take is a Phyrexian Altar, but it's more fun forcing an emblem while everyone has to ditch their hands and sac their creatures and eventually winning with like Gary or something.
>>
>>48035530
>>48035564
The table politics are pretty engaging, but every single transaction is a nail biting affair because every single part of every single deck can set something off like a rube goldberg machine. Blink and you're looking at someone with 7 walkers and infinate turns/ ultimates. Blink again and suddenly only one player is ever untapping. Another and now everyone has 0 cards in their library and needs to draw a card. etc.
I just wanted to be a casual shitter with my rat tribal deck, but I don't even get to do that. If you're not competitive in this town you're swiftly steamrolled with no remorse because that's just how all the people are.
That said, when it comes to formats like standard, legacy, and modern there are an assload of very potent homebrews so that's nice at least.

That's why I love EDH desu.

I think it's perfectly plausible to play casual beatdown decks in EDH, you just need to pack enough cheap answers to shut down the biggest threat. Bojuka Bog if you're running black, Pithing Needle and Trinket Mage if you're running blue, etc.

And all the best tutors you can get your hands on, but I digress.

I'm sad that Gisa and Geralf's storyline seems to be just them focusing on surviving.

I'm not entirely sure this is what Vamps need though. While a 4/4 for 3 that shocks every time it swings is good, it doesn't help the issue Vamps have with no middle or late game or the fact that the hand is being depleted twice as fast due to discarding and casting.

This is no replacement for Elusive Spellfist. Elusive Spellfist is a turn 4 kill machine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to play the shit out of Elusive Homunculus, but I won't be nearly as happy to drop it turn 2. It's not flipping until turn 3-5 in all likelihood, but at least it's some acceleration. Unfortunately, with the U/R Prowess deck I run, most of my spells are 1 drops, so 1 colorless mana doesn't really help when all I need is Red or Blue.
>>
>>48036984
All the cards, obviously. Being allowed to discard only once each turn you're not likely to have the Condemned survive more than one attack phase anyway.

So where are the good guys? So far it's Thalia and Thalia alone. Where's my Order of Saint Traft UW unplayable in anything but Commander card?

Technically.
>>
>>48037323
This time, the zombies are the heroes. The ghosts might also be on the side of the good guys, but I'm not sure. And a few of Thalia's buddies are with her, like Thalia's Lancers, and I think by definition they're Order of Saint Traft guys, since she founded that or something.
>>
>>48037409
Thalia's Stand, Saint Traft, is also on her side.

Saint Traft's Stand power is angel summoning, and can provide Thalia with angelic backup in a moment's notice.

Hope we get a ludevic card too. Was also hoping for a reprint of the commander Gisa and Geralf, but this works. Mill should have been repeatable though.

Donate/Harmless Offering lets you send cards that have served their usefulness to your opponent. In standard right now, Demonic Pact from Magic Origins would be the card to donate to your opponent after you use everything good, and then they lose the game on next upkeep if they can't stop it.
>>
>>48037627
>Red/Black triskaidekaphobia using Demonic Pact and Harmless offering as an alternate wincon
It'll be janky as fuck but it might do somewhat well at an FNM that doesn't have white fucking everywhere.
>>
>>48037531
I love the idea of playing illusions/donate in standard
>>
>>48037531

The only slight difference to donate is that it's target opponent rather than target player. All this means is you can't permanently gain control of something with Act of Treason type abilities.

But other than that it's Pact shenanigans ahoy!
>>
>>48037627
The deck will be called Harmless Pact. Don't argue with this.

it doesn't sound too unfeasable if it's backed up by some way to stall the board on the ground. Jaddi Offshoot or some other early game wall might be workable.
>>
>>48037718

I want to run the shit out of it. Trisk and Tree with pact and donate shit like Priest of the Blood Rite
>>
>>48037531
So it's not COMPLETELY Donate. The only difference besides colorshifting is that it now says "Target opponent" Instead of "Target player"

Because everyone knows Donate was being used for Treachery shenanigans, etc.

It might as well be Donate but eh.
>>
>>48037752
yes, thanks to the "that hasn't been chosen" clause. You're giving yourself a 4 turn clock to eke out value. Now you can turn it in to a 4 turn win
>>
>>48037752

Yes. You must choose a mode that has not been chosen already. Changing ownership does not reset the mode choices.
>>
So will this increase the price of the lose two life a turn guy and demonic pact?
>>
>>48037840
probably, but not much until someone wins a torny with it
>>
>>48037840
Not until the mtggoldfish guy makes a deck with it.
>>
>>48037840
demonic pact - yes
priest of the blood rite - no

DTK and origins stuff isn't gonna spike like crazy unless it's very clear that there is a standard deck for them. fuck even Jace is sub $30 now because people are selling off all their origins and DTK stuff before rotation.
>>
>>48037840
Demonic Pact, yeah. But only temporarily, unless someone finds a way to REALLY abuse it.

It was never intended to be red.
It was pitched as blue and nobody thought to question it throughout the design process, but it became extraordinarily obvious in retrospect.
>>
I have to as, but how does Neglected Heirloom interact with Meld?
>>
>>48039399
The creatures leave the battlefield when they meld, so it doesn't interact at all. If Heirloom is equipped to critter A, and critters A and B morph, both A and B leave the battlefield, so the Heirloom becomes unequipped and critter C (the melded thing) enters the battlefield.
>>
>>48039399
Transform and Meld are different mechanics, even if they more-or-less play the same. Say you used Moonmist to Transform all Humans, Midnight Scavengers and Hanweir Garrison would be unaffected, even if you have the other Meld materials for them.
