No matter how smart and compelling your post/ article seems to you, it is not going to change hearts and minds. None of us had ever heard of either of these two people before this nonsense: it is just an excuse to rehash a bigger issue that will never be resolved by making posts and counter-posts on message boards. (Yes, I know saying that here is hypocritical.) -
Apr 23, 2017Mergatroid_Jones posted a message on The Magic Market Index Amonkhet Set ReviewIt's like people don't even know that Anointed Procession will be eight bucks in five years. How is it this kind of card always follows this pattern? It seems investors would have destroyed that easy plunder by over-exploiting it.Posted in: Articles
Not that I mind. I'm happy when cards are cheap, and easily available. Order now for your casual fun purposes, or you'll end up paying way more for the same card. In the mean time, almost every other card in the set will tank in value. Business as usual. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
I know a lot of people harbor an extremely fast environment, so blocking may be less important there than in a facsimile of a booster draft. But I still think this is much weaker than most Gutterbones variants unless you're generating fun crimes. I like the synergy potential though.
Omenpath dress code. You don't need a spark to travel the multiverse anymore. But without a hat and spurs, you can forget it.
Thanks, I figured there was something.
Plot seems like a fine mechanic, but it doesn't seem that useful on the card they revealed it on. Makes more sense on stuff like Jace. Digging the Serra Avenger drawback. But they didn't put reminder text on him. Thanks for another card with a random ass keyword that'll never come back and doesn't say what it does. Guess I'll never use that card. Jace is half Ashiok now? Well that can't be anything but an improvement.
Saddle seems lame, and crime seems like something that didn't need a mechanic based around it. EDIT: I forgot Spree, and it seems like a really cool mechanic.
The cowboy hats on everyone is silly and annoying, just like the dumb hats in Murders at Karlov Manor (Agency Outfitter being probably the most absurd). But aside from certain fashion choices, I kinda dig the high-fantasy wild-west thing they've got going on. I've never seen an interpretation quite so high-fantasy.
And as many have commented, the mishmash of random legends feels odd and forced. Gonti is aetherborn, so shouldn't they be dead by now? Don't they live like a year tops or something?
But it's not hard to make it into a subtheme. All you need is a few ways to make little guys evasive like Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and some guys like this with damage triggers.
