Time raveler has the card advantage/tempo of oblivion ring or vindicate albeit in bounce style, but randomly also Kitesail Freebooters all your opponent's countermagic too."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"-

yeah i immediately saw the irony in Ythan saying that and also knew well enough that Ythan wasn't trying to be ironic and just was reading the oracle text for the card and hasn't played in a while."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

my first experience playing multiplayer (not counting high school) involved people explaining to me that we were playing a 5 player mode where each person tries to kill 2 players who are like their bounty targets, and the first play to complete that task is the sole winner, and I cast a red sweeper that killed 1 of my creatures, none of my bounty player's creatures, and 5 creatures of a player who was on the verge of eliminating both of his bounty targets, and he was furious at me for playing the game wrong.
my second experience playing multiplayer I doom bladed some legendary creature that would obviously snowball, and that player had 1 white mana up, and casted silence and insisted it countered the doom blade, caring more about a consensus of two players who had played it that way before more than my dry encyclopedic explanation of the definition of casting a spell."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

yeah it's definitely dependent on the people you're playing with, even with a good playgroup it's too often kingmaker-y for me.
one deck that i've played against a couple times in historic brawl is illuna which has omniscience as the only permanent in their deck so they basically win if they resolve their commander. i'm empty handed with a ghostly pilferer in play and 5 mana open, and op casts illuna. i draw silundi vision and find a counter spell. the next time they cast their commander i responded with mystic subdual on the thing they mutated onto. that felt pretty good-

i can't keep the day from being twenty-four hours long.In post 8287, Isis wrote:I def do not have time for arena :/
all i can ask
is that you forgive me for the length of the day.
i can't stop worms from taking flight as butterflies.
forgive me for the butterflies.
forgive me that flowers turn into fruit,
fruit into seeds, seeds into trees;
forgive me that springs become rivers,
the rivers seas, the seas oceans;
forgive me that love becomes newborn babies,
newborn babies loneliness, and loneliness love.
nothing, i can prevent nothing.
everything goes its own way
not asking me,
not the last grain of sand,
not my own blood.
all i can say is
forgive me.

yeah i hope soIn post 8286, shiki wrote:have just learned of alchemy so am reinstalling arena with hopes of outer limiting for next few days
guess i should not get hopes too high
but! also
there is a chance they try to continuously balance this format and update cards every two weeks so!
but like, i believe the best deck in standard is currently even better in alchemy
so, not off to a great start
have you drafted before? i feel like you would like draft-

the telling thing will be whether or not there are any changes to cards next patchIn post 8289, Infinity 324 wrote:yeah i hope so

have you drafted before? i feel like you would like draft
and it will take me approximately that long to grind enough wild cards to play anyway
or at least to play what i would like to (very likely birgi/vadrik {as i would like to apply my dominion brain as much as possible and! birgi is pretty much the only magic card i like})
draft is difficult for me because i need an attachment to something to keep me engaged with it and because of the nature of draft it would have to be a common which wouldn't be impossible for me to develop simply that i have not previously though i've never attempted to be a dedicated limited player due to cost among other things
though your feeling isn't far off because what appeals to me most is building or at least building for the cards i want to play
as the actual playing becomes fairly rote once i learn the format and hone deck to reasonable state
and my halflife for the game has been quite short most likely for this reason
which is why i hope for frequent adjustments here but that may not be their intention it is very hard for me to tellfeel free to delete this ghost-

life // death is such a strange card. one half is pretty much just a downside, and the other half is a strong reanimation spell that's not quite good enough to see play anywhere. it's not legal in modern (and i'm wondering if it would see play as persist 5-6 in the reanimator decks), and in legacy there are just better options. in edh the higher-powered decks have better options, and budget players are unlikely to know of its existence.-

Life seems like part of some combo that doesn't exist. Life + "each player sacrifices all no creature permanents" or mass polymorph priced at a nonmeme cmc"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.
