I just want to play a deck with multiple main deck tasigur. I'm surprised people aren't trying to jam that card more

I don't know much about you but I love you.

[Kaitscralt]

Feel like Tasigur is seeing a lot of Standard play in every black deck

[Self Medicated]

Well, Ultimate Price is back.

[nme]

It does, I just think there could be a better home for tasigur than control sideboards. The card is so damn good.

[nme]

Meh. As a one of.

[Kaitscralt]

Accept the Golden Banana in the numbers he presents to you

[nme]

Nope, I want all the bananas.

[Jamie]

This standard is so diverse
you can play 1 tasigur
you can play 2 tasigur
so many options

[Midnight_v]

Roast.
A 2 mana kill card for 5 or less toughness... in red.
"Things have gotten strange"...
Ultimate price is back as well. So know where in 2 mana removal world again. Okay, wizards. . .

[Thrillho]

So when I said all of those things complaining about Narset, what I meant was I wanted Sarkhan, Reforged and that Narset wasn't that.

[Valdarith]

Battle for Zendikar.

No one saw THAT coming.

/sarcasm

[LP, of the Fires]

Atarka whip has to be a deck.

[Valdarith]

Ashen Rider whip isn't a deck. Why would Atarka whip be?

[LP, of the Fires]

Because Atarka is much better/easier to cast as a 7 drop since it's HUGE and can actually deal with multiple threats on ETB.

You can: kill a rhino, eat sorin and his vampire

Eat all of elspeths soldier and ding her effectively trading with Elspeth if they have no removal

Plague wind a RW players board

Eat board of mana-dorks etc.

[LP, of the Fires]

EIGHT EIGHT TRAMPLE BITCH.

[Self Medicated]

It's not unheard of to play Rider in Abzan.

[Valdarith]

Not buying it.

[Valdarith]

<--- fun police.

[nme]

Meh. As a one of.

The list I'm using has 2. How many do you want?

No more than 3. I've been trying to brew up some lists that take advantage of delve creatures. Nothing too fancy, just early disruption and removal with a few wayfinders. I started out with just G/B, but there really is no reason not to splash for charms and more power. I just have to figure out if I want blue or white. I'm leaning towards Rhino and Abzan Charm atm.

Or I could just play Abzan Control with 2 MD Tasigur.

[Self Medicated]

It's not unheard of to play Rider in Abzan.

I have never heard of this.

Then you're not listening.

[Khaospawn]

Burn!

[LP, of the Fires]

SHUT UP!

[Lightning_Dolt]

The PAX thing really disappoints me.

Double-faced cards are an abomination.

Sarkhan shouldn't be blue. It is literally the only colour that doesn't make sense to put him in, fuck it, let's do it. Why the fuck is he the only three colour card in a fucking wedge block set? We're going to go from awesome wedges, to the fucking boring allied colour combinations we always have. Good fucking job. We'll have a bunch of cycles where Rakdos gets unplayable garbage too.

Khans Block is like the Matrix Trilogy. First one is amazing, second one is decent and makes you really anticipate the third, and the third is so awful and disappointing you have to pretend 2 + 3 don't exist so you can still enjoy the first.

Battle for Zendikar is the only good thing to come out of this.

[LP, of the Fires]

You are ridiculous. Double face walkers are brilliant and our so obvious and streamlined that we should feel dumb about not thinking about them.

Sarkhan being blue while awkward for constructed applications makes sense from a flavor standpoint since he studied with temur shamans or something. I

In the context of the fact that they've shuffled Pro Play to the PT mostly being standard, the block radically changing at the end makes a lot of sense as the format feels a lot more open now for new archetypes because the new cards are vary powerful.

Like, you can be mad and that's fine since that's just like your opinion man, but for the lions share of players(including myself) these announcements/changes where all awesome.

My friend Bayani(best player in California BY FAR who's not on the PT by choice) said it best: you'll appreciate magic a lot more when you stop complaining and wanting to appeal to a sliver of your vision of what should be and appreciate the game for all the opportunities it allows you to explore.

[Jamie]

That makes sense, LP, but all I'm seeing are more cards that force 100% of players to play midrange

[Lightning_Dolt]

I agree double sided planeswalkers were obvious, I just despise double faced cards. They're awful for draft and you have to play with stupid rules inserts while the real 20 - 30 dollar card sits in your deck box.

Khans block is a whole other problem. I know I complain too much, but this just really seems like an epic fail. They had so much momentum and opportunity to do something different, and instead, they just did what they always do.

Also, since we're expecting enemy fetches next fall, it would have been nice and made sense to have some enemy cards.

I know Magic is not made for me, but I have to assume there are other players like me that also don't like their approach.

[Lightning_Dolt]

That makes sense, LP, but all I'm seeing are more cards that force 100% of players to play midrange

Uhh... two amazing red 1 drops and a very good red removal spell?

[Lightning_Dolt]

Boss Sligh now has like 24 good 1 drops lol.

[Lightning_Dolt]

I also think their reasoning for Sarkhan being blue is pretty weaksauce.

He was RG, then RB, then RR, was as some point RWB, but let's just make him blue because he learned a lot. Also so we can have all the planeswalkers be blue.

I also feel it's a missed opportunity to not have a Sarkhan legendary creature that is influenced by the new time line.

[Jamie]

This kid is still playing red 1drops instead of siege rhino

[Lightning_Dolt]

What if I told you it was possible to go under a siege rhino?

[Jamie]

I don't want to live in that world

[TBuzzsaw]

New set looks more like a control set to me.

[Midnight_v]

New set looks more like a control set to me.

Typically how a 100% midrange era ends up I'd think. Considering, the more people are pigeon-hold into playing midrange the easier it is for control strategies to prey on it. Thought to be fair there are a quite few anti-control midrange cards now. So we'll have to just wait and see.

[hamfactorial]

Just give me a good Koth next set plz

[Valdarith]

Rick Grimes at GP Miami is all over my Facebook feed.

[photodyer]

Rick Grimes at GP Miami is all over my Facebook feed.

Yes he is!! Todd Anderson has evidently had an utter fanboy moment on Khaos...he's posted pics and evidently had Justin "Rick Grimes" Brad. All while going 6-2 thus far...

[Valdarith]

Already looking forward to GP Atlanta and it's 8 months away.

[Khaospawn]

I lost my win and in to Day 2. Finished at 6-3.

Gonna play some side events tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be just as fun as today.

Had some crazy things happen, like Todd Anderson, Brad Nelson, and Gerry T clowning around with me and making Rick Grimes/Coral jokes. I've taken fuck knows how many pictures with people, meeting new players, and involving myself with the larger Florida community. It's good stuff!
