Another Dead MTG Board
https://893802.iygvfni6t.asia/
Again? When has U/W not been the best / top tier since 2009?Council of the Absolute looks oh so lovely in an American Control shell.
I know most of you hate everything control, but, meh. I play everything. And UW looks like it's going to fuck shit up again.
It's a power thing also...we are still at base animals. The female who can lure a male away from his chosen is obviously genetically superior. The difference with women is that it's all about the getting, not the having; if they get you to stray, then the interest is lost (just generalizing here...of course some are sincere and future-minded in their pursuit).So, I've been off my game for a while, but, a girl sending you a picture of her thong would be classified as flirting, if I'm not mistaken? Yeah. I think it just might be. Maybe ever so subtly.
Why didn't all these women ever show interest in me when I was single? D:
Except Master does something the others don't: he can win you the game if his ability works. Master can negate all the lifegain from [card]Sphinx's Revelation[/card] and Thragtusk. Even if you can't win the game the turn he's unblocked, he still reduces their life to 1. That's pressure in a way those decks do not like to be pressured.Voice debuts at $20, Council at $12...is it just me, or does Master look like some convoluted jank compared to these guild mythics?
Voice is one hellacious bear...not a bad late topdeck. Am I thinking correctly ruleswise that sweeper=no token? Obviously Pillar and Sever get rid of it without triggering either ability.
Assuming no RIP or other ability that would keep Voice from hitting the GY you'd get 1 token per dead Voice with p/t = # of tokens.Am I thinking correctly ruleswise that sweeper=no token?
Dan, I think you just found the core definition of "WIN MORE"...talk about adding insult to injury!Except Master does something the others don't: he can win you the game if his ability works.

I just had a thought for a janky combo: Master of Cruelties + Exquisite Blood. You gain the life that they lose. Janky as all heck, but fun nonetheless.
I need to learn to read the whole damn card rather than making mental shortcuts. So the order of events is: Voice dies, which triggers token creation; after this ability resolves, it checks the board state and, seeing 1 creature=itself, becomes a 1/1 token. But because of the rule text for the token, its P/T willAssuming no RIP or other ability that would keep Voice from hitting the GY you'd get 1 token per dead Voice with p/t = # of tokens.Am I thinking correctly ruleswise that sweeper=no token?
So 1 Voice would net you 1 1/1 token post sweeper.
Just think of home sweet home and splash black...DIES TO REMOVAL!!!!!!!WoTC: Hey Guys! Look at our obviously powerful MYTHIC BANT CARDS! They are so obviously powerful, you should play them! DID WE MENTION THE FACT THAT THESE CARDS ARE IN BANT COLORS!!! PSSSTTTT, U/W/G is going to BE GOOD!!! Have fun shelling out cash for these!
How I feel..
It was whatever you need to believe it was to make yourself feel better about this whole situation.Thanks for the head slap, redthirst.
Wait...that was your hand, right?
. The thing that bothers me about them is that they are just so obviously pushed in a PLAY U/W/G PLEASE way.WoTC: Hey Guys! Look at our obviously powerful MYTHIC BANT CARDS!

Dick slapping is completely acceptable as long as it's done safely.I know Khaos would take comfort in being slapped by my dick, but I assume it's not for everyone.
Exactly. Let's see some good red cards, dammit.Sure, some of them are, but they're all white...
or blue...
or green.

You make a point regarding Master; I'm not decrying the card as a build-around and we will damned well try it at FNM. Rather, my point was that Voice and Council are more broadly applicable cards. Take Voice and throw Volcanic Strength on it in a Naya Aggro deck and I don't really want to be across from it unless I'm playing some sweeper action or Sever. Council actually makes me rofl because it's more about UWx control players screwing each other; from our perspective, it "dies to removal" (<cue rimshot>).
point, I'm ok with a little bit of win-more, especially since we've been fighting against a lot of "stabilize more." Ugh, stabilize more sounds awful, but you know what I mean.
Developer's meeting about Thragtusk:
Developer #1: So, here's our new green beast: 5/3, gives you three life when it enters the battlefield.
Lead Developer: Needs more!
Developer #2: Ok, change that to five life.
Lead Developer: Needs more!
Developer #3: Ok, so how about it also gives you a 3/3 token when it dies.
Lead Developer: Needs more!
Developer #4: Alright, we'll change "dies" to "when it leaves the battlefield."
Lead Developer: It's so beautiful.
I'd almost run Master + Blood just to see someone like Tony react when I pulled it off. Even if it only happened once, that would be worth it.
The guy knows how to make sounds work. His first two albums are marvelous.Is Kanye West not the most brilliant music producer? Been listening to his music all day.
Yeah, I'm not too worried about the new cards, except Lavina
At the very least, Wizards had some restraint, given their ridiculous boner for Green and White creatures with obnoxious ETB/LTB triggers, and didn't give Voice a LTB make a token effect..
Here's hoping Pillar of Flame or something similar gets reprinted to deal with Voice. And, yes, I am tired of the super-efficient cards even though I want Solemn Simulacrum in M14.So, looking at the G/W super-bear they just printed, is anyone else just frickn' tired of creatures that provide persistent value when answered? It's an efficient, strong card that is just utter bullshit. Welcome to a card you're going to see everywhere for the next year.
Also @putrefy: I'd like the reprint more IF there where any artifacts that really needed to be answered in standard. As it is, it'll likely be a murder 90% of the time.
Is this a real question?but is getting a basic land going to do much good in this format?
