Unfortunately, I don’t find this too exciting in a constructed world. Maybe in limited it’ll see use, but it’s really not doing much for the board state.
This feels way overcosted for what it is, but I guess it’s following the morph rule (5 mana to make it something that won’t trade with another 2/2). I guess this is one of the pieces for the Gruul “Aggro Disguise” draft archetype?
Does this card seem strong enough to see play in many formats? Obviously, the body is ridiculous, and the main question is whether or not it affects things immediately or not. I want this to be good, but without any evasion, this might only be so-so.
How do you feel about “target opponent loses that much life” vs “it deals that much damage to target opponent”?
That being said, it’s still 1 mana cheaper, and while it doesn’t have the fight ability, it still kinda pushes your opponents to block because of the triggered ability.
Looks like the original tweet ended as (Rock Band) to indicate the game that took #1 back in 2008, and either OP or the auto-titler missed the parentheses?
Wait, this seems… Maybe constructed playable? 2/2 Ward 2 for 3, and then for 2 more mana (at ANY time) you get to either flicker something or turn whatever scary permanent your opponent has into a weenie? I don’t know where this belongs, but it sounds strong.
That’s been there for a while now, I think since the Magic Origins edit to the modern frame? It’s supposed to be a fountain pen tip, or a quilltip or something.
The 8th edition frame has the whole paintbrush before the artist name.
Alright, so this maybe sees play in Mono-white aggro?
You essentially have to take a turn (or half a turn) to hopefully turn this into card advantage on future turns. Doesn’t affect the board state immediately, but might give the bit of gas mono-W needs to push through.
In Standard, this will see all creatures other than Adeline (if you have at least 3 creatures on board) and Knight-Errant of Eos.
In Pioneer, this will see all creatures other than Adeline and Extraction Specialist. Not sure if there’s room for this in Boros Convoke; there are too many non-creature spells you need to hit.
First, I’m glad they found the kid. No one deserves to be manipulated and taken like that.
Second, dude, wtf? He’s in his 30s and thinks that this is something he should do? The kid is literally half his age, and he seems to think that they’re in any position for a genuine romantic relationship? Gross.
His point is that even if the Germans of 8-9 decades ago were stuck in a bad position such that fascism was their best choice, the people who are leaning into fascist ideals today don’t have that same excuse.
Is the cryptonomicon referencing actual cryptography, or cryptocurrency nonsense? The Enigma is cryptography, but the online bank thing makes me think it’ll touch the cryptocurrency stuff.
Interesting move by the Padres. When I saw reports saying that they were shopping Kim and Cronenworth out, I assumed they were in fire sale mode. Getting a potentially great closer is not the direction I thought they would be moving in.
I second the nomination for The Witness! A game that teaches you the puzzle systems and challenges you without using a single word. And then when you realize what’s going on, the game suddenly gets twice as deep.
Something I've been puzzling over with my #homebrewdnd stuff is about the classic #dnd elf. I don't really know what makes the Elves a compelling race to play. I'm thinking of changing them quite significantly for my campaign, but how far can I change them until they no longer hit the same buttons?
I play a wood-elf monk in my current campaign, and part of the power fantasy for me is being fast, lithe, and graceful. I think people may go for high elves for the majestic, pristine, timeless feels. And Drow for a sort of “tainted perfection” vibe? Not sure.
