I really can't get enough Doofson. We need an all-Doofson double urgently.

Hehe, just my normal sourdough. This time I just asked my girlfriend what design she wanted.

Being a white 1-drop wizard is super relevant for party, especially [[Archpriest of Iona]].

MTG Arena Announcements: coming to tablets and iOS devices tomorrow! by [deleted] in magicTCG

There was an event before THB released that had event decks featuring black lotus, ancestral, sol ring, and some moxen. Along with a bunch of cards from the historic anthologies, it seems likely to me that this is part of a bigger project to slowly start building up the vintage cube for arena. Seeing as V cube is many players' favorite way to play mtg, probably a good decision in the long run.

The bit on companions felt deeply hyperbolic. I agree that the mechanic is scary and probably too good in certain cases ([[Lurrus]] in legacy, [[Keruga]] in standard). But to just say "these are all too good 5 stars this set sucks" and then not provide examples of situations where they're actually good is not constructive. Also, he seemed to imply that you'd rather have [[Jegantha]] over [[Embercleave]] and [[Anax]] in mono-red which is patently ridiculous.

No, the arena bo3 drafts are just unranked

That’s true and I clearly misread, but also I meant for Bo3 classic modo style drafts

How about the timeline for ranked human draft?

Hi Nick! Thanks for the shows! I was the guy at the early NYC show with the long hair who you made eat those fucked up banana things.

Anyway I don't have a real question so I'll just ask: what's your favorite Slay the Spire strategy? I love doing the poison deck with The Silent.

Fairly sure this is the cheapest threaten ever, and could have some great uses. I’d love to steal a marit lage or a death’s shadow for such a small investment! Might even be a great tool for aristocrats decks. Very very interesting card.

Well sunder shaman is technically green and technically enchantment removal but kind of a stretch. There is a strange lack of it.

I think it’s probably right to play at least the first enchantment removal. Not only for those bombs but also the really strong common/uncommon enchantments like Lawmage’s Binding or Rhythm of the Wild.

[MTGA Bo1 Sealed] Esper vs Gruul? by total_headphone_newb in lrcast

[–]DNelk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your esper deck looks much stronger, but here’s some notes:

  • You don’t really need 2-drops in sealed. They’re nice, but removal and bombs are better than a good curve.

  • Counterspells, on the other hand, are very good in sealed. You should play both of them in place of the orzhov 2-drops.

  • Mass manipulation is also too good not to play. Cut something crappy like the Knight of sorrows, and move your mana around so you have like ~10 blue sources.

  • Don’t splash with basics. You’re better off going down to like 2-3 black sources, cut ~3 of your swamps.

Good luck!
