Speaking of which:

"2:1 Historic."
WTF Wizards.
"Ok, ok, we 'hear you', we'll 1:1 it!"

You've done this song and dance before, Wizards. At least 5 times now, are you sure this isn't planned on your part?

I mean, they're gonna try to get away with it if they can.

I don't think it counts as Mill if your primary win-con is a 5/4 flier.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #2404 on:** September 14, 2019, 12:38:10 AM »

Well, if you buff it I guess it could work. But I don't think that's the primary win-con with that combo. You get both of them out, tap Vantress for 1 draw, two turns later (unless you got them out at the same time which requires 4 mana), tap after vapping Vantress to do hand-mill while getting more lands to do deck-draw into hand-mill.

Honestly, I could see Folio of Fancies maybe working in a Forest-Island deck since Forest's generally gets "get a land card from your deck, shuffle your deck, and put it into the battlefield tapped/into your hand to use if you haven't put one out this turn" fast-mana-ramping. I could see the XX,T: Draw X cards ability being slightly scary if said ramp is able to be done fast and quick to get 10+ cards into hand to then dump 10+ mill within like 3-4 turns.

But that requires a shit ton of set-up, not having Artifact hate (and hasn't Planeswalkers basically replaced Artifacts/Enchantments anyway?), etc.

[[The Magic Mirror]], [[Into the Story]] (against Mono-Red, otherwise pointless), [[Opt]], [[Midnight Clock]], [[Mirrormade]]. Making me now want to make a Mill deck, fuck you Raist.

Because this would buckle to Artifact hate. But being able to do 10+ cards and counter them with free drawing at turn start to build up the mill...

They try to counter my bullshit, Midnight Clock to reset the deck and continue to mill.

I do like some of the storybook art cards, but $450 for 16 packs plus some doodads is insane. That's a T1 standard deck or half a T1 Modern deck. One Collector's Edition pack is the MSRP price of 3 packs of Modern Masters.

I will be buying some cheap storybook singles like Shepherd of the Flock. I think it's deceptively powerful and possibly good enough for modern mono white sfm.dec. if not, it's still nice in a jank casual deck I play w colleagues.

I picked up a 4 pack of the brawl decks for arcane signets and some of the chase singles. So many bad cards though. they also have a huge shortage of the brawl decks (manufactured? or unintentional?) but I assume they'll re-up supply soon enough.

The errata is to make it a creature, not a horse.

Apparently both aggro and control suck and ramp is the place to be in the new standard??? I think I like G/B better than G/U, with Golgari colors you get Assassin's Trophy to kill fucking annoying Land of the Deads even if you lose out on Oko. And you can ramp into Liliana and the new Garruk in addition to Nissa.

naff · « **Reply #2424 on:** October 03, 2019, 05:56:27 PM »

you lose oko and krasis. i would be extremely surprised if UG is not the dominant colour pair this standard.

naff · « **Reply #2425 on:** October 03, 2019, 05:59:58 PM »

garruk is good, but meta dependant. oko and krasis are much better catch all answers. brazen borrower is also extremely good, and i know the ven clique comparison was made in jest before, but it's actually better in ramp than ven clique imo (actually makes a favourable comparison in a lot of decks).

In true Timmy fashion, I bought a couple of Collector's Edition packs at Wal-Mart this weekend.

They were $26 each. :'( I do love the showcase frames. I think they're amazing. Prices of the singles are starting to tank online now that the set is out there and the initial hype is dying down, so don't think I'll be cracking anymore packs of that, but I do think it's a cool product that's way overpriced.

Monogreen can be pretty mean, between Yorvo, Great henge, Questing beast etc.

Otherwise there's always the distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed mono-winonturnthree-red.

But yeah, ramp decks with Oko are just dumb. Completely busted planeswalker.

i like that cavalcade.dec punishes ramp.dec. there's a hope midrange will have a place in the meta. i haven't been playing much eld, but im keen to work on a more aggressive green midrange deck utilising the great henge to keep up the pressure.

Cards like Field of Dead, Oko, Fires of Invention are just plain dumb. It's like they were designed by a bunch of 8yo who thought they'd be so cool, nevermind how completely broken they are.

I don't understand how they could possibly think giving a +1 to Oko that targets ANY artifact or creature and turn it into a vanilla 3/3 was a good idea

Imagine if WAR Terefi's bounce was +1.

Letting Oko start with 6 loyalty is also pretty wtf. It’s a 3cmc walker, and I can’t even Fry it the turn it comes down?

I mean, 3 cost aside: Isn't that the norm for most Walker's? You can't bolt them to death as soon as they come in?

If anything, I feel being able to +X on landing is a little dumb. I kinda get why (as the Planeswalkers are used to being "summon'd" to another plane/field) but balancing seems wonky.

You can put someone like Gideon down, +1 them into a 5/5 with indestructible until end of turn on their first turn and you can't really do shit about it (though that's apparently been Eratta'd to where damaging Gideon even in that form will hit the Loyalty point system).

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #2441 on:** October 14, 2019, 09:45:24 AM »

Oko is just improperly costed. Card like Field, Golos, and Fires need to be erased from future standard development. "Something for nothing" doesn't even need to be in the toolbox they use to develop standard sets. Just put that in future modern sets, you assholes.

Ban Fires of Invention too, free spells should be verboten, especially if you're casting planeswalkers for free that will effect the game for turns down the line.
