The one and only. How i'm enjoying this chad in Standard

The Monoist look the coolest.

>>96001078
Ho
ly
FUCK
the art direction for this set sucks.
It's an absolute nightmare mix of generic, tryhard and Marvelian overdesign. Truly repulsive stuff.

>>96001101
damn, kinda looks like warhammer a bit. too bad they discontinued the UW version reprint program

>>96001093
How can the bad dudes look so good compared to the heroes here >>96001078? Look at that smug shitty face i hope he dies the first.

>>96001022 (OP)
This is the new Land cycle? Station lands? Why? How i'm supposed to make this lands valuable when i have to crew for 12?

Rumors of the set.
Munitions tokens are artifacts that deal 2 to any target when put into the graveyard and nothing else, only saw on 1 rare.

Sliver card is a 6 mana artifact with affinity for slivers, gives slivers double strike and trample, makes 2 slivers at end of turn.

"Artifact cards and red cards in your hand have" Warp equal to their mana cost, it's some mono red legendary kavu, it does something when you warp also but I forgot what.

“put target creature from defending player’s graveyard onto the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.” is a 4 mana black aura that enchants a creature you control, and when it attacks it does this, then it has Void (fixed revolt), which sacs the aura unless a nonland permanent left this turn or a card was Warped.

>>96001185
The rumors are:
The blue one is (12+) U, Tap: add U for each artifact you control
The green one is (12+) Tap: add G for each creature you control.

>>96001188
Oh shiet now tokens that go straight to the face? That sounds kinda cool depending on the activation mana cost.

>>96001188
>Sliver card is not an Sliver
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>96001188
>>96001209
MaRo, nobody cares. Your team doesn't know how to build a good metagame and Standard is not worth playing given the track record of your team. You should all be fired for the Standard environment you created necessitating banning every single tier 1 deck, and in all honestly, probably fired out of a cannon, into the Sun.

>>96001209
12+ for more mana LMAO not gonna make it for me chief.

>>96001188
>>96001209
They better make Robots a thing.

Time for this guy to shine with these station lands.

>>96001213
I think they are sacrifice fodder and it has no activation cost.

>>96001078
This isn't AI garbage? It's a real card?

>>96001209
wait wait wait are you for real? i really hope this station lands don't only add mana and has better crew costs

Is this another one of the Legendary planet lands?

>>96001209
So you are supposed to waste 12+ power at sorcery speed to activate these? What the fuck

>>96001365
Probably, it's the name of the red planet in the Sothera system. Also they aren't legendary.

>>96001302
the hands are bad in a way only a lazy human can be, and the AI would never let the cloak blend into the wall like that.

>>96001159
They're both villains, anon. Both faiths are dogshit.

>>96001188
i don't know how or which kind of cards will do it but looking at the eldrazi guy they already showed i'm pretty sure this cheating stuff warp will end breaking somehing.

>>96001143
They didn't discontinue it. It was never going to be a thing for non-Secret Lair UB stuff. That was never the promise. It was only "mechanically unique Secret Lair cards will get reprinted in an accessible way".

>>96001401
Oh i thought the white and gold dudes were supposed to be the good ones. My fault.

>>96001419
There's good people, but none of the factions seem to be good. The Drix and Pinnacle as a whole are broadly 'good', but they're more an overarching thing, the main factions of the set seem to be the Kav, Eumidians, Illvoi, Summists and Monoists.

Worry not about the rest of cards the only card you have to chase is my dude Tezzeret.

>>96001456
He is really not very good.

I'm so glad we could split the thread again because a seething retard can't handle discussion about WotC's clear biases.

Stop splitting the fucking thread, you seething retard fuck.

>>96001456
>last seen working with New Phyrexia
>now commanding a bunch of robots and fucking around at the edge of the universe
Calling it now, Tezz is going to find a way to reactivate the glistening oil

>>96001716
Stop being schizophrenic. Stop being and absolute retard and learn to behave like a normal person and make normal threads

>>96001716
Are you the brazilian dude whining about White?

>>96001797
No. Stop with Phyrexia, please stop.
Is Eldrazi time, unleash Eldrazi, Eldrazi everywhere.

>>96001797
>Jin put a backup of himself on Tezz's new body
>Tezz has a Jin brainghost now

>>96001812
I only agree with you to the extent that wotc writers are shit and they already completely fucked up with Norn
Phyrexia conceptually are way more interesting than yet another round of 8cmc squidfaces named ATMOSPHERE NIBBLER and CONCEPT RAPIST

>>96001871
Have some respect for the true main villains of this setting anon.

>>96001910
God, I remember when they clearly promised the UW reprints because people were skeptical about mechanically distinct UB diluting the game. Now it hardly matters because everything is so debauched and broken that no one gives a damn.

FUCKING KIKES!!!! When we will have the interaction the crazy overefficient threats they print set after set deserve? They just printed Vivi is that bad or broken to have a removal, downside sac instant spell?

>>96001078
I really hate this look where it seems like the artist first completes the body and background, then waits for instruction on what kind of face to finish it off with. It's on a few cards by a few different artists.

DO NOT USE THE SHILL SPLIT THREAD
USE THE REAL THREAD.

Fuck off, shill. You've done this shit TWICE now.

>>96002063
oh now comes here screaming and crying? classic

>>96001320
Hah. They are all Station 12+ and come into play tapped. They won't get played anywhere.

>>96002077
Make normal threads, behave as non schizophrenic person.

>>96001365
Pretty sure that is Kavaron, the planet that is half exploded and has a huge laser array.

>>96001998
Now they just straight up sell mechanically unique cards via Secret Lair only (Sonic, etc). The brakes are long gone at this point.

>Kotis again
Do people play fag decks that try to play their opponent's cards because they can't build a good deck themselves? What gives?

>>96002095
Might not be good, but the meme potential is there.

>>96001365
>>96002105
They will deliver LAND DESTRUCTION support right? Is fucking time RIGHT?

>>96002063
Weird, you would think this thread would be removed as spamming/flooding since it is a late created general and the other thread was first. I guess you get to thread split if you are paid by Hasbro.

>>96002140
Based on the others it will be something like:

Kavaron That Is
Enters tapped.
Tap: Add R
Station 12+: 1R, Tap: Sacrifice a creature or artifact, deal damage to any target equal to the sacrificed card's mana value.

Or power or whatever. Still just as unplayable and vaguely "on theme" with the other land reskins (Academy, Cradle, Tower making the R one...Shivan Fucking Gorge.

>>96001797
Tezz actively hated the Phyrexians the entire time, he'd have absolutely no reason to do that, also we JUST had Phyrexia they're not gonna go from Phyrexia to Phyrexia, Again.

>>96001910
That's... Not the same thing at all. That's with regards to "Universes Within" as a product line in and of itself, which was a speculative thing that never existed except as a vague terminology for the Magic-IP reprints of Secret Lair cards.

>>96002000
A.
TALL.
ASK.
Fellow Magic enjoyer.

>>96001022 (OP)
Question: The charges vehicles and lands get from being "crewed" this way, remain or is something of the turn?

>>96002245
They stay

>>96002245
They remain. It's clearly themed after constructing ships and bases in space strategy videogames.
You spend your creatures' power like you allocate workers to eventually get some big payoff.

>>96002253
>>96002261
Mmm maybe in grindy matchups could be a thing then, against aggro is a shit but if you have for example a defender like demon wall or a vivi that grows with time, maybe you could make the payoff work, but i say this without know the rest of space lands.

>>96002180
nice try gaslighting but I know exactly what I meant with UW version reprint program

>>96002132
Imagine if after so many time of being a shitty meme and unplayable card this shitter finally gets his time to shine LMAO

>>96002329
I feel like if there's some more synergies it could be a thing. The land is fine, not great but fine. Coming in tapped and being sorcery speed hurts, but drawing 8 is a hell of a drug and that can come online after only two turns. I know people love their instant speed card draw, but surely a 3 mana overflowing insight in a land slot could have something to explore.

Spoilers when? When they start?
WHEEEEEN?

Come back to Premodern, /tg/.
Come back home...

>>96002480
what's to play in premodern?

>>96002485
All of these decks, my dude.

>>96002497
fuck that looks... completely balanced unlike current formats

>>96002480
>>96002497
Friendly reminder Premodern is a Fake Format played only by brown people.

>>96002517
So you're saying that all of those players present in all of those tournaments there are brown?

>>96002526
Brown or similar, yes.

Post favorite flavor text

>>96002497
And more!

>>96002517
>>96002526
>>96002538
The people are brown because their artifacts are the only correct color. "Silver" people are inferior.
Don't tell me to go back to 2003. I never left.

Yjk….

I remember when she was printed and don’t recall it being this blatant but reprint and art couldn’t be more on the nose

>>96002630
yeah because it's been boobified

>>96002526
I know Italians are a little swarthy but I don't think they're quite brown

>>96002635

I would.

>>96001022 (OP)
>Station land
Damn, I was hoping these would be actually interesting. Clearly just made for limited and commander, you'll never have a reason to station, at sorcery speed nonetheless, in any format that ends in a single-digit amount of turns.

The ONLY reason you would want to station something outside those circumstances is if you're constantly warping creatures, presumably as WotC intended the mechanic to function (also works for crew I guess). If you warp the eldrazi and then blink it, you could technically crew it immediately, but that's effectively a 3-card combo that you can only do turn 4 in modern and turn 5 in standard, and that's assuming your opponent doesn't blow up your eldrazi before you get those 7 cards. Maybe it'll be okay in a control deck, but I just don't see standard being that slow once this set enters the format.

>TQ
Swarmyard.

>>96002684
Actually, I forgot this guy (>>96002132) is in standard. Maybe you could build a dimir control deck around it after all.

>>96002245
They stay and if it reaches a milestone it becomes permanent even if the charge counter is removed.

>>96002517
There are 4 brown people - 2 Brazilian, 1 Pacific Islander, 1 western-born Indian - in my LGS playgroup and none of them play Premodern.

>>96002731
are you brown too anon?

>>96002480
Thank you for acknowledging this thread as real. Truly you are at least sane.

>>96002480
What the hell is offensive about Crusade?

>>96002753
Do you get paid by the post, the hour, or by how many split threads you make?

>>96002719
Actually, they clarified, to my understanding, that if the counters are removed, it stops having that effect.

>>96002739
No, why?

>>96002779
Religious/Zealot content of a violent conversion militar action.

>>96002070
schizoid and schizo(phrenia) are not the same thing, they just share a root word

This dude is sick and a staple in several formats, you think is also in danger of a ban?

>>96002895
Call me a retard but I don't understand why Vivi is considered so strong
I've only played with the FF stuff in limited thus far though

>>96002900
The free mana is always a bullshit but besides that, the faggot grows, hits oppo face and is in the right colours to abuse...

REMINDER: AZORIUS OMNI IS WINNING AT A 60% RATE IN MYTHIC BO3

STANDARD IS (STILL) FLOURSHING

>>96002919
How the hell are they cheating it now? I mean EoE will give them another tool again but right now how?

>>96002931
You have four different choices for how to reanimate it at five mana and we discussed this at length in yesterday's thread, anon

>>96002919
Why stick with azorius now when you NEED to ramp to outrace other decks
Until rotation the llanowar elves / invasion of ergamon / seize the spoils package is simply way better
it can still win the game on turn 3 and easily wins on turn 4

>>96002939
5 ways to reanimate it at 5 mana if you count builder's talent, and more ways to cheat it out of your hand or library

Its actually possible to build a Yuna shell that can win the game on your end step thanks to a 1-of Valley Floodcaller

Im planning to join Storechamps this weekend to win that promo City of Brass. I cant decide between UW Bunnicorn and Gruul Delirium, which one's in a better spot?

>>95997146
>high tide
maybe they should ban gay-ass high tide then
>artifacts
I did have equipment but I know that's not what you mean. What would you recommend.
>black card draw
So like maybe Serrated Scorpion and saccing that with like Corrupted Conviction?
Any other suggestions would be nice for a monoblack pauper deck.

>>96002939
>>96003061
Sincerely I thought Yuna was the safest choice but I guess this is what you get when instead of BAN THE MOTHERFUCKING OMNISCIENCE you ban just one way to cheat it. WotC are secretly evil masters.

>>96003065
Both seems pretty tier 2 but Standard right now is open so I would try delirium is a cool deck and was strong before Cutter incident.

what should edge of eternities introduce for artifacts/affinity to become a thing?

>>96003105
Cranial Plating-like finisher. With all the trinket creation Azorious aggro already has like Spyglass Siren and Novice Investigator, its the only thing missing to quickly end games

>>96003100
Yuna is probably the worst choice given the huge deckbuilding constraints and she still just dies to a go for the throat for 4 mana

>>96003155
Also its a huge PITA on arena client because you have to set a hold priority stop on your end step and click through every trigger or else the client will pass to the opponents turn if you ever let go of full priority
That said, its possible

>>96003191
Looks like the white card was the wrong ban yet again and this anon is proving it with a yuna meme deck. Looks like JotC should've banned more blue cards instead of banning a harmless white card that wasn't a problem until Omniscience was printed in foundations. It's a shame that JotC hates white people and white cards.

>>96003192
Is wrong to despise and vomit at all Izzet game patterns?

>>96003251
No. You are right to be disgusted.

>>96003429
>Combo decks like Azorius Omniscience are something we want to exist in Standard, but when too strong, they warp the format around them and reduce the number of viable decks.
>Proceeds to warp the format because they nerfed all the decks above it
Titans of intellect at WotC.

>>96003425
Technically a crusade is not the same as "The Crusades"; but explaining that nuance and arguing about it is harder than just playing a better fucking anthem.

Just play Honor of the Pure. It's mechanically identical and takes one less W pip.

7th 7-win draft in a row
doesn't matter how bad the seat is, I just can't lose in this format jesus

>>96003425
>>96003543
The crusades nonetheless were just the inevitable retaliation by the Christian nations against at least 400 years raids and invasions by the Islamic nations. And then this is ignoring that part of the crusades were the military action against Pagans in north-eastern Europe.

So a series of a few wars centered around religion was somehow racist because it's on a white card and JotC of course hates both white cards and white people.

>>96002245
Yeah. You put counters on them.

>>96002620
>>96002581
fucking size queen

>retard thinks one more turn is too hard an ask when wizzards have gutted aggro into the fucking ground

Omnichads, Standard is ours

>>96003646
I think the bans are retarded but they banned Jihad too

>>96003703
just because it's white
if it was in any other color they would have left it

>>96001185
>How i'm supposed to make this lands valuable when i have to crew for 12?
Get 5 counters on it at some point.
Warp Anticausal Vestige for 4 mana.
Anticausal Vestige gives you the other 7 counters.
Spend 2 mana to sac Anticausal Vestige.
Draw 8 cards and cheat something into play.

Is this particular example any good? Probably not.
Are warp decks going to be doing something similar? Definitely.

>>96003702
Wow aggro sure feels so g-

>>96003715
>Get 5 counters on it at some point.
>Warp Anticausal Vestige for 4 mana.
You can also just blink it with Splash Portal to crew it again + keep the creature and still get the leave trigger.

>>96003722
if that was as good or as strong a cutter mice, cutter mice wouldn't have dominated.

>COMIN DOWN THE MOUNTAAIN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kAIMlISHhU

>>96003735
Or you could not play a 5 mana combo to "crew a station and get a 7/5 creature" in a format where you can still win the game on turn 3 with aggro or combo decks

>You cast DI/WR/TIO
>They use removal
>You scoop
Did you have fun losing on Turn 2, anon?

>>96003773
Notice how you didn't say "cut down"

Omniscience will always warp a format if there is a consistent way to to cheat it out. it's the closest an enchantment can be to "you win the game if this sticks"

Does anyone who plays even regularly buy sealed anymore?
I know people occasionally getting boxes or bundles for a draft night or something, but no one in my area (4 LGS's)who legitimately plays ever gets sealed
Is it a scam or what's going on?

>>96003809
Even if omniscience was banned someone would figure out a way to break dragogenesis

>>96003832
>dragogenesis
>omniscience
>comparable at all
it's not even on the same range of power magnitude my dude

easy FF draft puzzle:
find the 9 cuts

>>96003832
The worst thing you can do with Dracogenesis post-rotation is cast a bunch of draft chaff used to get it out in a reasonable amount of time and/or cast Ureni for free, or, y'know, you could just reanimate Ureni. The tutoring convoke dragon is rotating in August, so you won't be able to do any bullshit with that card for more than a month.

>>96003844
And yet, even a weak card like dracogenesis could be theoretically turned into an instant win reanimator combo
2x marang + dragonhawk, terror of the peaks or tyrant of kher ridge is instantly lethal
you can cast free dragons off dragonhawk to find more marangs in a pinch, since unlike omni it can cast from exile
2x marang + hoarding broodlord could loop your whole library with the right setup if you convoke out creatures that make tokens or whatever
free shiko could recur stock up to dig for the dragons you need, hidetsugu is dig 3, even capricious hellraiser is both a reanimate spell and a potential restock


Free spells break the game. Every time
Once upon a time even broke the game and it was just a cantrip

>>96003921
omni wins because it makes the spells needed to defend it free as well

draco gives you free stuff too but you probably have to keep it alive fair and square

>>96003921
>all those dragons
>not a single way to cheat out the fat enchantment
>dies to enchantment removal

>>96003942
I mean that literally included a way to cheat out fat enchantment in the list of dragons

>>96003951
which one?

Omnipotence should have had an "As long as it was cast" clause

>>96003951
hoarding broodlord is not cheating it out when you run no cheap creatures or tokens
hellraiser is random and needs you to get the enchantment into the graveyard (which you don't have)
shiko does not hit anything that can reliably bring back dracogenesis, afaik
this isn't even getting into how you're apparently in 4c and running zero removal, yet you somehow expect to cast stuff like hellraiser with triple red pips

>>96003958
Capricious Hellraiser

>>96003942
How often do people even try to interrupt omni combo with instant speed enchantment removal? 1 out of 5 games it goes off, tops
More likely to try to counter it with a spell pierce than have a get lost

Fizzle rate is vastly more important than protection, the only reason mistveil isn't a game changer like cavern of souls is that costing 6 mana to cast abuelos was already unplayable in a standard this fast and now its 7 mana to protect your repair and recharge

>>96003986
ah, forgot marang discards instead of shuffling back a card
so sure, you've got a 4 mana spell to set up your 6 mana dice roll to hopefully combo off

>want to check some card rules
>go to gatherer by mistake
>get hit with the new site abomination
it hurts

You only need to cast a single reanimation spell to get the enchantment out, the rest of the spells are to churn through your deck
That reanimation spell doesn't need to be a dragon. There's no point you'd need to cast a campus restoration after reanimating dracogenesis, all its doing then is being an impulse draw.
You realize that once UW omni combo casts its reanimate spell, any further reanimate spells are dead draws just like lands right
>shiko does not hit anything that can reliably bring back dracogenesis, afaik
When you have dracogenesis out and need to hit more cards, shiko could hit a stock up, which finds you a marang

Every tribe should be like zombies, where they have a tribal omniscience and a tribal swarm intelligence and they're still shit.

Does anyone know when I can use these to play Vintage Cube for free? Does the season end around August 6, allowing them to be used then?

>>96003988
Both Hoarding Broodlord and Capricious Hellraiser rotate in a month. You’re proposing a deck that will be locked out of standard soon just to argue that it’s on-par with a card that will be in standard for FIVE YEARS, not to mention the only reason it even exists to begin with is because WotC decided MoM and One should still be legal in 2025, long after they decided it would rotate out by the end of 2024.

>>96004005
ok anon, you can invest in dracogenesis and make big bucks when it skyrockets in price

>>96004014
the only cards you need to win after dracogenesis is 2x marang + {any dragon that deals damage} which includes many that won't rotate

>>96004032
>the only cards you need to win after dracogenesis
bro skipped the hard part right away to talk about the payoff

>>96004032
>Restricted to one spell for free card draw into your actual wincon
Still sounds way worse than Omniscience.

>>96004093
Turns out chump blocking is actually really good. Im glad WotC unbanned that strategy

>>96004093
wasn't elspheth dead?

>>96004032
The only cards you need to win are a fireball and some lands.

>>96004067
Campus restoration, repair and recharge, capricious hellraiser, squirming emergence, invasion of tolvada, builders talent

removal to stay alive, mana fixing to not get fucked on lands, more ways than just marang to get your reanimate target into the graveyard...

This.

Omni. Some fixing and some fat asses.
Seems like a list.

LEYLINES WERE A FUCKING MISTAKE

>>96004143
>Leylines all about jackpot early turn advantage
>make a leyline that needs 5 mana before it becomes operational
what did wotc meant by this?

>>96004177
To save on 3 mana, of course. It's a free black lotus.

>>96004156

outcaster and overlord both ramp to t4 kill but also turn into a draw engine with marang and bounce spells

>>96004189
>That flavor text

>>96004194
Seems good. Less able to handle threats though, but it's not like the format even has any threats anymore lmao.

>>96004206
could build it as a control shell with white mana

>>96004220
Tough to hit Overlord's GG consistently with a 3c mana base.

I am not convinced that WOTC does any sort of play-testing or any attempts to design & curate a healthy 60-card format. I feel like they use AI to put random words and keywords on the cards, they play-test cards with one Commander game* and then they just ship it.

*and in the playtest game, if a card is a problem they change one thing about the card at random and then don't re-test.

>>96004230
>am not convinced that WOTC does any sort of play-testing or any attempts to design & curate a healthy 60-card format.
I mean, it's pretty much a fact at this point.
They LITERALLY stated in the latest B&R that they didn't test whether card advantage results in winning games. They have actual toddlers running the playtesting and all they do is play EDH.

>>96004226
tougher, but not if you only really plan on hitting WURGB after one of your 8 mana rocks and keep everything in just blue/green with the other colors being splashed on lands
in my current list I've got 5 lands that don't make green and 5 that don't make blue, 15 that makes blue and green
what are the odds you'll hit 3 lands by turn 3, have an overlord not trailblazer and have a full 2+ out of 5 of the 24 lands with the non-green ones

>>96004233
>B&R that they didn't test whether card advantage results in winning games.
it's evolving, but backwards

Seriously, actually, look how stupid the people in charge of this game are.

>>96004252
*ps T ask means Tall Ask

>>96004230
60 and 100 card formats are jokes anyways
WotC designs sets for Limited, as they should.

My favorite part of them talking about Cutter in the B&R was the claim that it was Standard's higher power level that made it too strong.
Like, yeah bro. Definitely. It was Standard having a three year rotation that made at-the-top-of-Legacy Steel Cutter able to snowball games.

Incredible observation. Truly genius.

>>96004252
That ban announcement really was a goldmine. Not as bad as "standard is flourishing," but it definitely shows you they devote little to no attention to double-checking how powerful standard cards are anymore. Makes you wonder if any of the people that playtest this shit have ever heard of Bitterblossom or Thopter Spy Network.

>>96004302
>That ban announcement really was a goldmine. Not as bad as "standard is flourishing,"
Ah yes Standard Is Flourishing (tm)
Then three months later ban literally every top deck of said absolutely flourishing format.

So balanced and flourishing that it needed six fucking bans.

Another gem was,
>For now, it feels like Vintage players are exploring ways to exploit the deck-building restrictions Lurrus places on its owner and the incentives she forces in deck building. Not to mention, there's an extremely powerful three-mana permanent coming with Edge of Eternities that we previewed at MagicCon: Las Vegas.

"Vintage players love Lurrus! Also, here's an advertisement!"

Good games.

>>96004252
>>96004302
They stopped playtesting a long time ago, this is hardly new news. Why do you think they release sets so quickly nowadays? Why do you think so many new mechanics feel awkward to use with physical cards? They used to write their ideas down on test cards, sit down at tables, and play the damn game, and they only printed cards after they knew they played well. Now they just shit out whatever garbage comes to mind.

>>96004322
I put leyline of transformation into play naming dragon and put leyline axe into play
I play an island, tap it to play spyglass siren, make a map. I play mox jasper. I tap mox jasper for black, then sacrifice siren, the map, jasper and the two leylines to cast rottenmouth viper

They weren't able to do it with six early releases, there is no way they have the means of doing so with eight. It's a minor miracle that Limited so far hasn't been a total trainwreck, but 60 card format balancing becamse something they do after the set releases now.

>>96004909
goatse

I play omniscience combo in standard post-rotation

I find temporary lockdown no longer really worth it, not enough 1-2 mana stuff after cutter is out
My list is currently:

>2 parting gust
>3 get lost
>2 exorcise
>2 bounce off
>3 thundertrap trainer
>4 stock up
>4 day of judgemtn
>3 arcane proxy
>3 marang river regent
>4 omniscience
>4 portent of calamity
>1 invasion of arcavios
>25 lands in UW

works great for me, its a stock up format indeed

All the OMNI fags must die. Cheating your way to victory should be illegal.

>>96005158
It is still an infinity gauntlet reference anon

>>96005278
Anon Omni doesn’t read “when you cast this spell win the game”

You have to cast other ones after it too

>>96004252
They have been outright saying that they "don't have time or resources to properly test for anything outside of Limited" for years now, anon.

>>96005405
Omni isn't the "1 card left in hand"

Everyone says mtg balance is shot now but never mentions how ABU sets had the most egregiously broken cards to this day many are restricted in vintage.

>>96005479
>magic balance today is comparable to when the game was completely new and they had absolutely no idea what they were doing
Wow you've got a great point there retard.

>>96005475
Not to be a pedant but that goes against

>cast a single spell, win the game

>>96005479
Yes, but they only became truly powerful once better threats and utility showed up. Serra Angel / Hypnotic Spectre were legitimately the "best" threats for years. People barely played creatures at all if they could help it.

>>96005479
Serious question: Can this game EVER achieve "balance"? When was the last time you played a "balanced" format?

>>96005505
The game is won at the moment face-up information available to players reveals a determistic end to the game in one players favor. Everything after that is just clicking

>>96005158

>>96005990
Deduce is likely the best fit unless you specifically have triggers or benefits from casting something from anywhere but your hand.

>>96006522
The designers HATE boardstalls, the possibility of such a thing actually keeps them up at night. I'm not sure they talk about it as much anymore because the possibility of such a thing happening has basically been eliminated, but you can find some old Maro posts/podcasts about it around the time they came out with Raid in Khans.
It's why they basically don't print defensively-statted creatures anymore(giant spider for example is always a 4/4) and everything has some busted when this attacks trigger. The idea of skillful players winning almost every game of limited by successfully navigating complex boardstates actually makes them seethe.

>>96006571
It is also why they are waging a war against First Strike, and why we see the fucking stupid "this has First Strike on your turn only" crap.

Again, First Strike is only a board stall when the attacker doesn't know how to properly attack / doesn't want to attack, which is WotC public enemy number one right now.

>>96006571
There's 29 FIN creatures below rare that have toughness greater than power, wtf are you on about?

>>96006603
I posted one such example of a creature with toughness greater than power, but if you RTFC you'll understand what I mean. It isn't defensively stated in a way that creates boardstalls the way giant spiders do, it is a defensive creature, but it becomes a massive threat and turns the corner once you hit 7 lands.
You can look at the rest of these other creatures and you'll see exactly what I mean. Savh's Chocobo, Sahagin, and Gaelicat are all technically defensively statted, but they definitely don't create boardstall mulitblocking situations.

>>96006695
And what about Fang, Rufus, goobblue gardener, or Graha Tia?

>sitting there idly passing turns back and forth while neither of us do anything significant until the game gets decided by someone topdecking an overrun is a good thing, actually

>>96006772
Why?

>>96006755
Welcome to loony troony 4channy design; the game is about holding someone hostage to be my friend.

New story revealed a new card, I'll recap later when I feel less like dogshit.

>>96006721
Fang melds with vanille to literally win the game. It is the only reason you play the card.
Graha Tia has secret text that makes all of your dorks unblockable while drawing you cards off your treasures.
Rufus literally has an attack trigger because the idea of you blocking with him makes tranny designers shit their pants in terror.
You got me on goobue, qiqirn merchant, and the initial one you posted, but those alone aren't exactly mounting a defense in very many games. Even if you've got these, your opponents grizzly bears are living weapons, they just make a 3/3 and attack with it. I've played hundreds of games of this format, watched hundreds of games of this format, and have literally never seen a single board-stall topdeck war for a reason.
