Haven't played this since like... Ravnica... good times. Maybe I should get back on.

Well, you're in luck, fall set is Return to Ravnica.

CHAOS DRAFT! Always wanted to do one of those.

I don't know anything about those sets!

bv310 · Post Post #206 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:55 am

They're all pretty good. Not a ton of super-valuable cards besides mythics right now, iirc.

I just need to pick up another Diregraf Captain & Tragic Slip. Been playing with the idea of putting in a couple Grimgrin, Corpse-Borns but I think my deck is okay w/out it.

Evil Twin

It doubles as another Zombie and also as removal of any of your opponents foul beasts.

And it's in your colors!

Didn't see #81.

Someone help me build a zombie deck. It's my favorite. I've had it since Legions but as a tribe it's generally been outclassed. (Eg Goblins/Elves in Legions cycle & Vampires in later sets...)

Is U/B Neccisarily better than Monoblack? Also just how many lords should I cram into it? lol

xRECKONERx · Post Post #209 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 11:39 am

I actually have an Evil Twin, too. But it's not really removal unless I'm playing another zombie deck

creampuffeater · Post Post #210 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 11:59 am

You can make it a copy of their creatures too, which allows you to then pick off their creature with the ability. However, in that case it would likely not be a Zombie.

PeregrineV · Post Post #211 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:07 pm

Yeah, If you are zombie heavy, it's another zombie. If they have bigger badass creatures, it's removal, and you still keep yours, no sacrifice involved.

Do you play casual, or should the deck be legal in a specific sanctioned format?

GreyIce DOES realize that timewalkish effects have been printed before, right?

GreyICE · Post Post #214 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:09 pm

TSQ does realize that mana is this thing that is involved with MtG, and that the little numbers on the card tell you how much of it you need to pay to get an effect, right?

He does also realize that of the the ones that haven't seen play, one cost 8, one didn't untap your land, one existed next to Time Warp for 1 more, and one caused you to lose the game, right? And that it's an effect that people have been willing to spend 10 for to get, yes?

ISO · Post Post #215 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:12 pm

uhhhh. No. This card is prohibitively expensive, and you are a noob if you think that its worth building around.

GreyICE · Post Post #217 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:23 pm

Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Allow me to bookmark this so I can laugh in your face in 6 months.

Time Walk is really all that and a bag of chips, and the fact it sucks in the opening 7 is not a big deal. Many cards do that.

P.S. You realize if they reprinted brainstorm this card would be the nut high, right? While they're obviously never going to do that, anything that's one utility card away from being an auto-4 of should NEVER be dismissed lightly.

ISO · Post Post #218 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:41 pm

And yet you weren't willing to avatar bet around it. Huh.

GreyICE · Post Post #219 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:51 pm

Not on the basis of a small number of event winners, no. If Affinity with skullclamp can't do it reliably, nothing can (except Tolarian Academy and Snap Hulk, dear gods).

Wanna open it to top 8s?

Rise of the Eldrazi is terrible, in my casual opinion.

Sudo_Nym · Post Post #221 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:05 pm

I hated RotE. The Eldrazi cards were poorly thought out, in my opinion. I don't mind Annihilator, so much as the additional abilities that come on them.

I hated Annihilator. No fun at all. Level up was ok, but I preferred it on Figure of Destiny because of the flavor.

GreyICE · Post Post #223 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:28 pm

I loved RoE. Great draft set, good for constructed. Of course constructed sucked thanks to Jace, but c'est la vie.

Casual, but powerful cards are perfectly fine.
