So nice of them to let Wheeler play again after last episode's blunder. Impressive that they managed to get all the blood off of the walls that quickly too.

Urza's Saga should be pointed right? It seems like a powerhouse card that can fit into almost every deck. Maybe there is something I am missing but it's always powerful and often tutored for. Has this been discussed at all or maybe its considered too new to make a decision on pointing it. Edit: I never said it but I just mean 1 point

The after game discussion reminded me of a convo between me and my friend who said my 4c Thrasios and Akiri commander deck wasnt really an "Initiative" deck because I only ran 6 Initiative cards. The deck may be primarily based around flickering and copying creatures but at the end of the day that's just a way to maximize the Initiative mechanic.

I dont remember if they changed how X spells CMC works or not. Is it right to use the counter on Ballista or did Wheeler loose a point of damage at 4:16 by using the counter thus making the spell fizzle? Or did he use it because the XX cost counts as 0 CMC thus not damaging any way?

@pianobeast111 6 ай бұрын

Wheeler used the counter to ping Nelson, so the ballista died and the spell fizzled. X on the battlefield is treated as 0, so if Wheeler didn't ping, Feed the Swarm would have made Nelson lose 0 life.

@Slatefield100 6 ай бұрын

The mana value of a spell can only be changed on the stack. Everywhere else, it is the combined value of all mana pips, including numeric pips, in the right corner of a card. X is treated in 0 in these cases, so Ballista's mana value is 0 everywhere but the stack.

Game1 Nelson could've had Sheoldred down a turn earlier if he draws with Castle before playing the swamp. Don't think it wouldve changed the outcome of the game, because Ben should still swing with the Aspirant. But if the threat of deathtouch had deterred him it would buy Nelson another turn for a total of 2 which would be just enough to kill Ben with draws.

It seems like an example of correlation without causation to assume UB cards are inherently pushed, when the majority don't see competitive play and they aren't Standard sets so they aren't as restrictive with power level inherently. It's like how people seem to think the past had so much better music or film than today, when people just tend to remember the good stuff.

@8BitCyberWarrior 6 ай бұрын

magic players: complain about fetchlands. Also magic players: spend half the game searching libraries for lands. Y'all know it is not a legal requirement to play with them right? You play magic in an insular environment: You can literally play or ban whatever you want to. It's okay, Richard Garfield isn't going to come out of your closet and drag you into the underworld for slightly suboptimal deck-building. *cough* Wheeler *cough cough*

@caw555 6 ай бұрын

It's 100 card singleton: you can't make a 3+ colour manabase work without fetches without exclusively playing tap lands, and that is a huge disadvantage.

@8BitCyberWarrior 6 ай бұрын

@@caw555 well I beg to differ. Play more basics. Or play less colors. Playing many colors is supposed to have drawbacks by design. You hav access to more cards and therefore better options in every situation. Bad Mana is the cost

@caw555 6 ай бұрын

@@8BitCyberWarrior They could play more basics, and the mana would be terrible, obviously. I understand the costs of playing more colours aren't as high as maybe they used to be, but the format still has Blood Moon and PoP to help keep things in line. But whingeing in the comments about a perfectly sensible perspective - that fetch lands slow down physical games of magic especially in formats like canlander, and equally that they're necessary for any deck with more than two colours to function - isn't, I think, reasonable. Just not playing fetch lands isn't the solution you seem to think it is.

@8BitCyberWarrior 6 ай бұрын

@@caw555 it's a lot simpler than you're making it. Don't play fetch lands = problem solved. Fuck blood moon and that other dumb shit why should people be wasting slots in their deck to deal with the opponents' mana base? With enough of those kinds of pieces the game just devolves into "Draw blood moon; win- don't draw blood moon; lose". It's a coin flip. That's not fun to watch or play, nor is shuffling 15 times during every single game of magic you play. Just because a solution isn't perfect doesn't mean it's not still better than the current status quo. Even the players don't want to play with them- they were complaining about it themselves- so who exactly are you defending here?
