[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

[Alex]

Oh, I mean post-rotation.

[Purp]

Currently there is no t3 answer to a courser from the red side, unless I am overlooking a card.

[BlakLanner]

None that I know of aside from a combined Stoke.

[Valdarith]

Depending on what the rest of the spoilers show us, I really want to be in RUG. I get to play Courser, Xenagos, Nissa, Kiora, Chandra, Sarkhan, and Keranos? I need a couple of other decent blue spells to be revealed for the blue splash to be worth it, but Keranos + Courser + fetchlands is just sick. I mean, I guess the blue splash could just be for Kiora, Keranos, and Divination, but that seems greedy.

Basically I just want ALL THE VALUE.

Maybe?

[Khaospawn]

That flavor text is awesome

[Purp]

Flavor text is def hot.

[Purp]

Should I hold onto mutavaults in you guys' opinion? Will value go up over a year?

[Self Medicated]

They're still useful in Modern, so that might help their value.

[Valdarith]

They're used in exactly one competitive deck in Modern. Sell while you still can.

[hamfactorial]

They're $15 on MTGO, which is the price I paid when they came out. Holding onto my set, because powerful cards are powerful.

[DerWille]

I'm keeping my play set, but I'm a sucker for tribal decks. If you don't need them, sell them. Turn that money into other modern or standard staples you do need.

[Alex]

At one point, we had 16 Mutavaults in our pool.

We now have 4. We transmuted them into Liliana of the Veils.

[hamfactorial]

Speaking of Modern staples, LotV up to 100 tix on MTGO.

[Khaospawn]

Transmuting for Lilianas seems good.

[hamfactorial]

Dat value doe

[Khaospawn]

Doe, a deer, a female deer.


Oh deer god!

Design Nerd comment for you Khaos



The Jager logo actually is derived from that statement. When taking the first shot of Jager, people often repsond with "OH DEAR GOD".

When you look at the heirarchy of the logo, you can get a clear idea that it is truely words represented by symbols.

A circle being the biggest symbol, implying it is the first word (OH)
Deer being the second biggest, implying it is the second word (DEAR)
A cross being the smallest, implying it is the third word. (GOD)

Oh. Deer. God.

That's great design right there.

The more you know.

We were at a store out in BFE that did 90% trade value, so we hopped on that Valuetown-bound train immediately. We pretty much just traded 16 Mutavaults, 2 Elesh-Norns, some extra Batterskulls, and some extra Urborgs into two entire modern decks.

We still have like 10 Karn Liberated that we're holding onto in hopes that he rises even more.

It says to serve cold. I always figured that when
you drank it at room temperature, you turned into a deer. It must be true, cuz I never any fucking recollection of the dumb shit I did while drunk.

[DroppinSuga]

I'll take a Mutavault if someone's trying to move them. I can throw it in my Goblin EDH deck

What is stopping you from splashing?

[Purp]

Nothing, was just stating that from the RED perspective, nothing kills a t3 courser.

I don't expect myself to play only red in a wedge format. I might not even play red at all with Abzan keeps getting some good ones. Right now the cards keeping me tied to red are Sarkhan, Rabblemaster, Stormbreath, and Stoke the Flame.

[LP, of the Fires]

I'm probably playing a red strat based solely on the rabblemaster/store the flames synergy.

[Alex]

Mouthbreather Dragon will continue to be a staple in the format, the card is too powerful not to be.

[TBuzzsaw]

Won the first Star City Game Night thingy. The store was trying out Pauper and I've never played it. I actually really liked it.

Also, hurray Squirrel pin that people want to buy off me.

We are starting ours next month and my friend/TO is trying to keep it casual.

I definitely think Pauper is the best way to keep the events casual with appeal to kitchen table players. Not to say they won't get trampled over by Mono Blue or whatever, but at least they don't feel discouraged that their opponent's deck is worth more and get overwhelmed with overpowered cards.

I agree but the big issue we have at our store is that we don't entice kitchen table players to the store and it is the same group weekly that show up to our store. We had tried casual formats before and it does not work. Draft and EDH bring more people with Standard being our bigger format when rotation hits or when a new set drops. Modern is. Barely picking up but sometimes we just get enough to pull off a FNM.

[TBuzzsaw]

So your goal is to entice new people to the store I'm guessing? What have you guys done?

Honestly it is to keep the core group to continue to show up and allow them to play more magic. Getting new blood would just be cherry. We get newer players to show up during pre-releases more than anything but don't continue to show up until after the next pre-release. Most of these players are table top guys that want to play what they want to play and don't like to adhere to 1) the format and 2) the competitive nature of players and the format.

We originally offered rotating formats for the month. Standard one week Modern the next, then draft in order to entice newer players or pre-release regulars. They never showed up for the constructed
formats but if we did draft they showed up then eventually dropped off towards the middle of the set release period.

The only people that requested the Game Night event are our core group of players. My friend/TO did not bother to ask the group on what they want or expect to from this added night. I just kicked up some dust in my local private MTG group asking about it.

Looks more like folk metal to me

some hardcore scrumping going on in that pic.

[LP, of the Fires]

I'm officially a member of the Jeskai clan cause Wu Tang.

[Kaitscralt]

too many koreans on tarkir

[Valdarith]

Mindswipe and Crater's Claws are pretty interesting. The latter especially in a GR midrange deck. It could push that color combo toward Fanatic of Xenagos and Boon Satyr over Courser (as crazy as that sounds).

[BlakLanner]

If my RUG deck didn't desperately need the deck-thinning abilities of Courser, I would be all over Fanatic right now.

Edit - I just saw Mindswipe. WANT. That is the kind of counterspell I have been needing for decks like this.
