MTG Salvation

I love reading these posts about how complex this card is because it requires a player to roll a dice. If you can't figure it out, then don't play the card. If you can't stand that they made the card, then don't play the game. They're not asking a lot.

Didn't see a thread so might as well post

with the innistrad sets coming up with “midnight hunt” and “crimson vow” it what could be in it

Obviously the biggest question is who’s getting married in “crimson vow”

oh I saw this Reddit post this is brilliant theory

If we do in-fact get a phyrexian praetor(s) in the set(s) they might be after a sample of silver/moon to test to protect the organic matter with their interplanar travel

I mean it's gotta be Nahiri and Sorin, Right? I can't take their love hate relationship tease any longer! Haha

Interesting that they went with the Stranger Things version of the Demogorgon, at least in the face. I think the Demogorgon I knew from my D&D days had like... Two Baboon heads and tentacles and stuff.

I've wanted more marine lands with art like this for so long.

They almost delivered the perfect card, truly.

Giant instead of Kraken.

Honestly WOTC, I'm so done. Seriously.

Yeah, it bothers me too that they keep dishing out Giant's to Blue instead of like Krakens and Serpents. Nobody cares about the big dumb humanoid rave. Give us more tentacles and crab claws please!

Agreed. I think I'll name him Jennifer.

Raise Dead. The term is Raise Dead.

Other than limited, that crawler is going to stay dead. Ugh what a bad payoff for such a long process. That's what you get for a 2/1 B uncommon.

'buster

Yeah, to be honest I feel like it would have been fine if it triggered off venturing into the dungeon rather than completing it. I mean... its a 2/1 that enters the battlefield tapped, and you only return it to your hand. I feel like it would have been more flavorful anyway if it was while you were still in the dungeon they came back, not afterwards.

I'll take my trusty Reassembling Skeleton any day over this guy.

Not much talk about Magic in this thread though, sooooo....

No kidding, and it is the same people, every, single, time. When context is out the window, people will find a reason to rage on this forum for no reason. Brings a good laugh every time I see it though.

And yet the mods never seem to get them. I've been flagged multiple times for actually complaining about it over the past couple of years when this site really went down hill. I'd make comments like, can we cut the bull and get back on topic? And then I'd get flagged for participating in the "fight". And yet I would wager the people who posted horrible nonsensical fights for pages upon pages got the same punishment as me; a slap on the wrist, because they are STILL here.

It is one of the most annoying things about this site. I've been here for a long time, and I hate to sound like some kind of old-timer, but it did use to be a better place.

It only makes me mad because actual "good" discussion gets lost in the Hate and bull*****, and then the threads get locked. It is kind of funny, I agree, because people really try to act like they are Arcanis the Omnipotent when they are just someone behind a computer screen talking about a card game.

It's ridiculous.

I love this. Definitely excited to sac that 11/10 demon and make 11 1/1 squirmy bois.

It's an instant too, making this very relevant.

That's a pretty meaty boy. 11/10? Jesus. Will make a good sac target for Jarad or Greater Good though.

It's cool art, yes, but notice in the bottom left hand corner, it says "not for sale," and it's missing a set number, plus the diamond in the bottom middle and its set symbol look off. This is probably just someone's altered print that the author of the article found online and thought was cool. It's not real, don't get excited.

As a setting, Zendikar was awesome. Traps, quests, adventuring parties and leveling up, it had a great Dungeons and Dragons/Indiana Jones theme to it. Then the Eldrazi showed up and ruined everything. And then the Eldrazi showed up again and continued ruining everything.

I don't want huge upheavals in the setting, like the one in the second Mirrodin block when the Phyrexians showed up and ruined everything. I want a good, fun plane, and I want it to still be good and fun by the end of the block.

No enemy fetchlands /thread

Really though.What I don't like? Let's see...

-Nerfed Eldrazi, nerfed Landfall. Eldrazi went from something to be feared to filler rare status.
-Too many absolutely awful rares in BFZ with a couple of blatantly good cards at mythic to sell packs.
-BFZ relied too much on expedition gimmick and Gideon to sell packs
-Expedition lands are terrible quality and have ugly grey text box that ruins full art.
-Wizards being stingy with full art basics. Super limited fatpack supply with no plans to make more so scalpers can have a field day. No full art lands in intro decks. No full art lands in Holiday Gift Box. These lands cost pennies to print. Why is Wizards making them so difficult to acquire?
-Amazing art on lands, ugly CG art on most Eldrazi cards.
-Wastes should have been in BFZ. Now it's going to feel like Constellation in Journey. A potentially awesome mechanic that was slapped on at the very end of the block so it didn't get to truly shine.
-MORE +1/+1 counter mechanics.

This is why I don't like new Zendikar.

The Eldrazi are not nearly as frightening as their first incarnation (Annihilator was on COMMONS!). This time they've got long incoherent, long text boxes hardly worth the payoff. The reused mechanics from zendikar 1.0 return on less impressive cards. The set comes right after an incredibly powerful block but has rares like Serpentine Strike... or worse, Prism Array. The keywords are uninspiring––Ingest doesn't do anything without Processors in your deck. Devoid enables a type of eldrazi tribal equivalent to "Eldrazi creatures, artifact creatures, and Scion of Ugin", which people haven't seemed to get too excited over. Rally and Landfall are repeated. Awaken N has been well-liked. Converge is repeated from Fifth Dawn's sunburst, albeit on higher quality (and non-artifact) cards, but seems to be well liked anyways because it's on really fun cards.

I know I'll get replies with "But this was done in a different way!" or "X was new the way it was done", but I'm just saying why people have been unexcited about it. It seems like 'colorless matters' just didn't set anyone's hearts aflame–probably for the reason people love multicolor sets so much, but in the other direction.

I think the problem is that they played way too safe.

I'm not sure. For me, the art doesn't appeal (possibly my least favorite block, and that's saying something), the storyline is depressing, the mechanics mostly don't excite me or interest me as a deckbuilder, and neither Eldrazi or Allies excite me on any level.

I can't say that it's a case of low power level, either, as Origins is quite recent, had a ton of fun cards from casual to cutthroat, overall had a low power level and somewhat mediocre art, and yet I still enjoyed it. Something similar can be said of this year's Commander set.

I don't know if this is an error on Wizards part, but I took a look around the site and found deck lists for m15's intro decks and clash packs. Links below

Edit: If the lists are correct, it proves convoke is the returning mechanic as the last intro deck contains siege wurm, gather courage, and devouring light
