    No Mind Seize, no money.
    That said, I'm glad they are reprinting older Commander product. It's just overpriced for what they are giving us.

    Not sure about Desert coming back, it seems it might be brutal to have two to three of those on the battlefield, basically mini-Moats. Will skip ANthologies because no Flusterstorm or TNN, will get Amankhet and Mondern Masters if it has Liliana of the Veil and/or ZenFetches and that's it.

    Exciting stuff!

    I've spite scooped, so have my friends. Spite is fun and makes our games a lot more lively. We'll even joke about it:
    "Ooooooooooooh X, do you remember three weeks ago when you plowed my Thorn Thallid JUST before I dinged Y for lethal? IT'S PAYBACK TIME!!!" and stuff like this. We've been playing for years together so it's fine, haha.

    In an event you just set rules for scooping and so on, distributing points to other people. It's cool. We all lose it now and then, just start a new game and have some more fun!

    Yep, and Investigate should have kept appearing. Good read overall.

    To be honest she looks more badass in her original version, so I'll just be trading these for deck stock asap when I get them. It's a cool trick though.

  • posted a message on Ideas for Scooping Rules in Events?
    Just do what we did. Assign 1 point per player killed. If you drop/concede you get either 0 points (thus forfeiting any gained points) or everyone else at the table gets your point. If you want to be stricter, just tell people if they drop they drop (from the event) and thanks for playing.

    NewSel isn't getting banned, she isn't that strong. She is sweet as hell though, and I'm planning to add her to a deck or two, along with the green Monarch enabler. Stunt Double is flavorful and cool, but a little on the weak side with all the clone effects in Commander.

    While I'd much prefer Damnation as I play more black than blue and not this type of blue, I'd be overjoyed to open this in a pack, and would applaud Wizards for being this ballsy. Make it happen! Smile

    $20-$30 Is generous. Maybe in the $60-$80 range. Remember that there are multiple Mythics so you won't necessarily open a Berserk in your pack, and people won't trade them easily and so on. Mana Crypt didn't go down because of EMA, for example.

    Yeah it won't drop in price that much but having a handful more out there will be nice. Going to be so, so annoying losing to this in draft though, ugh.

    Ha at Grenzo's flavor text, so epic.
    Dovetails nicely into the battle mechanic and that sword that makes copies of creatures as well.
    That dragon will obviouly wreck serious face in limited, hope I can open one!

  • posted a message on Best Spirits in Mono-W?
    Omg build Oyobi over that thing. She'll crank out spirits at the 3/3 flying level super fast and you'll quickly take games over. One of my all-stars is Tallowisp. I usually follow it up with a Thunder Spirit or a Karmic Guide or a Drogskol Cavalry and hten start dropping prot-creatures auras on stuff and go to town. Arcane spells? Not running a whole lot but I do run Shining Shoal because it's totally nuts.

    My best/most janky spirits include: Thunder Spirit, Tallowisp, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Eidolon of Rhetoric, Drogskol Cavalry, Karmic Guide, Jeweled Spirit, Hikari, etc. I back them up with a fair amount of artifact mana (they are clunky) and stuff like Austere Command, Harsh Mercy, Armageddon (when we play cutthroat), Shared Triumph and so on. Doesn't win often, but when it does, it's fun!

    Oh, Yosei is a spirit too. Fun wtih Emeria and Karmic Guide! Wink
    (Eternal Dragon is also a Spirit and helps you ramp...)

    I think in our group it would be fine, as we run a LOT of graveyard hate. Scavenging Ooze, Relic, Crypt, Rest in Peace and a healthy amount of control too. Overall though it would likely be a negative because someone somewhere would be Spikey with it and ruin their playgroup, and we'd hear about it over here and on the official forums.
    I'd leave it on the list for that reason alone; it's not likely to be ubiquitous but it will just wreck games now and then.

    My Legacy playing friends are drooling or foaming about this. Can't wait to open a few, what a monster of a card.

    Love, love, love that they are somehwat pushing the Reserved List envelope through colorshifting and rules tweaking. What a fine card. Bunch of us want them for Commander and Legacy already. Can't wait to get Thalia with her!
