Oct 15, 2017Sephon19 posted a message on The World of KamigawaPosted in: ArticlesQuote from silasary »The team at the time thought that if they were to print O-Kagachi, they'd need to do so before That Which Was Taken was taken. And O-Kagachi with his Divinity intact would indeed be too powerful.
When the Commander team returned to the character, they had a lot more freedom as to portrayal and timelines, and so chose to portray O-Kagachi after That Which Was Taken was taken.
Hence the 6/6.
I've heard this argument before and it just doesn't hold. The thing is the size of Progenitus - a creature that could arguably be smaller in P/T due to its ability. Why can i tbe taken down by a random Spider? I understand that Magic power scale is somewhat weird sometimes for gameplay reasons, but you just shouldn't make a world-sized creature at 6/6. Especially in a world they cannot retcon at this point, unlike Sergovia. -

May 13, 2015Sephon19 posted a message on High Stakes Magic - A New Way to PlayOk, I think I'm going to start out with 100 cards, percentages are easier to work with that way. I'm going to do a theme of Zombies, Spirits and Infect. Death and decay.Posted in: Articles
Have you tried any of the Theros block hero cards or any utility lands? I'm personally going to use a lot of cards with activation costs so lands are actually possibly usable here. Using a mix of Zendikar block spell lands and a Leechridden Swamp.
Also interesting to see "colors matter" cards, such as normal slam dunks such as creatures with protection or intimidate. When all colors are readily available, it's much easier to answer a White Knight than if you were a normal black deck. -
May 12, 2015Sephon19 posted a message on High Stakes Magic - A New Way to PlayHave you found an optimal auction block deck size?Posted in: Articles
I'm personally going to make a Peasant auction block and call this format High Market (referring to Mercadia) or something because I personally find the High Stakes name unsexy. I prefer something that has more Vorthosian substance. Infact, after I'm done I'm doing a forum thread with my decklist.
Have you tried the Theros block Hero cards? I'm personally considering inserting a variety of tokens into the deck rather than vanilla creatures since mana costs don't matter anyways (even if I consider adding some devotion cards as well).
EDIT: What about land cards with utility btw? They can provide mana a good bit.
EDITEDIT: I additionally see your auction block is 200 cards. Do you find that the optimal size? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
Assuming your playgroup allows it, of course.
This is the card, for those unaware. Booster Tutor
Official MaRo ruling is that you can only tutor cards of your Commander's color identity.

I think something like this will indeed show up, but it will probably somehow exile and return itself to showcase it returning to Thor after use. What about:
Hammer of Storms 5
Legendary Artifact [mythic]
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Hammer of Storms is exiled and you control a legendary creature, return Hammer of Storms to your hand.
Hammer of Storms deals 5 damage to target creature.
Our LGS advertise as Commander.
EDH had the problems already presented to you, that was the reason they felt a change was needed (Especially the Highlander part being intellectual property.)
Too bad this wasn't a 2/1 for 1R. Might've made the 'completion' of the broken CMC 2 cards.
B will have a discard trigger, which if powerful enough might feel Blightning-esque, which is always cool.
There will probably be some sort of land destruction. Something on the power level of Fulminator Mage to hate on problematic land cards would be nice.
What about a Raid reanimator? Like a B or WB creature that brings a creature back to life when having attacked. There are two possibilities in this:
Reanimaid 4B
Creature - Human Cleric
Raid - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you attacked with a creature this turn, return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield.
3/3
And more relevant to Modern:
Resurraid 1W
Creature - Human Cleric
Raid - When ~ enters the battlefield, if you attacked with a creature this turn, return target creature with converted mana cost 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
2/2
The point was more that I realized "Tron" must have been an old name for the archetype, not one invented during Modern. And the same with Eggs. (That is, I partly conceded my original point... )
