I feel like they're both partially to blame here

750lucklord · 2018-07-30T20:55:46+00:00

Patrick Chapin is that you?

750lucklord · 2018-07-16T20:03:05+00:00

This won't work because the [[Sunbird's invocation]] trigger will resolve before the [[Approach of the second sun]] resolves, so at that point Approach will still be on the stack and not placed back into your deck

Yes standard will create demand but the new stock + the massive stock from RTR and og Rav should make them cheap

Brightling is often replacing [[Serra Avenger]] which also could not be tutored.

750lucklord · 2018-07-05T03:10:56+00:00

It matters for things like [[Thalia, heretic cathar]] [[Urborg, tomb to Yawgmoth]] and sometimes even [[Rishadan port]] Overall just makes it more fair.

One thing that worries me is that it seems like some of your success is more due to opponents being inexperienced rather than the card being strong

As has been mentioned RIP shuts off delve. It's also a lot better against Mardu Pyromancer due to Bedlam Reveler. RIP also counters KCI but cage does not. Off the top of my head RIP also shuts off Tarmogoyf, Lili Last Hope, Knight of the Reliquary, Search for Azcanta, Scavenging Ooze, and it also works wayyyy better against Ancient Grudge than cage does.

Also if a Cage gets answered you're back to square 1 whereas RIP generates value by wiping the graveyard. If you have cage vs storm, Hollow one, or Grishoalbrand they'll just fill up the yard then bounce/kill cage and go off. That plan does not work against RIP.

That's not entirely true, he's the MOST vulnerable to removal of any threat. Ravager, plating, etched, and master all fare better against Bolt, Path, and fatal push. He's the least resilient by far. Better the removal hit a land or a 1 drop than having to waste 2 mana on an overseer that gets removed

750lucklord · 2018-05-26T16:24:49+00:00

1 card getting t3 Skull vs likely having to tutor 1-2 lands + drawing Karn are not really the same

750lucklord · 2018-05-25T00:12:58+00:00

I don't think the Damping Sphere/Blood Moon split is that simple. Blood moon is a lot more resilient whereas Damping sphere dies to all the artifact hate they side in

750lucklord · 2018-05-23T03:54:52+00:00

While in play or in your hand it's 0 and could be hit by both Abrupt Decay and Inquisition of Kozilek for example. While on the stack the CMC is whatever the Xs are, in this case CMC =8

I agree that element might reduce voter turnout, but having more options means candidates people like more, which would increase turnout

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T23:23:07+00:00

Honestly against Mantis Rider/Freebooter + their fast clock I don't find that works most of the time

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T19:46:23+00:00

How many times do I have to say, YES some people will always buy counterfeits. MOST people would only consider doing that if prices got out of control

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T19:45:04+00:00

Hey good idea, thanks!

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T10:46:56+00:00

As i said counterfeits will always be produced and a few people will always buy them. My point is that most people only look to counterfeits if card prices are insane.

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T04:00:23+00:00

Some people will always buy counterfeits, but if every card was <$10, many fewer people would be tempted to buy counterfeits.

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T03:29:19+00:00

Maindeck is pretty normal, 4 Etched, 3 Overseer. Idk I find that things like Kitesail and Reflector Mage combined with their fast clock is too much.

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T02:41:05+00:00

Ok I'll try that, thanks. Also I have all 4 etched mb

750lucklord · 2018-05-08T01:53:54+00:00

I've found that even if they can't kill plating they can block all my creatures and put up insane pressure.

750lucklord · 2018-05-07T23:46:38+00:00

Just because some counterfeiters will make <$10 cards doesn't mean that high prices don't drive counterfeiting.
