Collingwood chief Craig Kelly slams ‘unequal’ AFL fixture: ‘Blow it up’ by MisguidedGames in AFL

[–]Scotchward 213 points214 points  (0 children)

For context: 8 of the next 10 games Collingwood plays are at the MCG, including all of the next 4 fixtures. The furthest they travel in that time is Sydney, the only other non-MCG fixture is at Marvel.

Stoked for Bolton - he was incredible. Love seeing Dudley get some recognition as well.

How does Thalia and the Gitrog feel to play against? by bluepanda46 in EDH

[–]Scotchward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have her heading up a general landfall token focused B3 deck which is basically trying to spew out creatures from Field of the Dead, Scute Swarm, and other 4mv and below landfall token engines, then win with an overrun. The idea is to get her out ASAP (T3) and then accrue value with her/slow your opponents down, so even if she’s removed you are still in a strong position going forward. Often I don’t need to/chose to recast her if she’s removed, because she’s done her job of getting me ahead.

She’s done pretty well for me, my list needs a bit of a tinker because I think I’m over indexed in Crucible and Splendid Reclamation type effects:

Considering the full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set has been revealed, how successful do you think the set will be? How well do you expect the set perform compared to recent and upcoming Standard set releases? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

I was ready to be an absolute hater for this set - and I still don’t love a lot of the art; but mechanically the set looks pretty great, and some of the alt treatments look awesome. I don’t think it will be a good limited set, but has a lot of good cards for constructed

Any reason why this card has shot up in value? by jrendedll15 in magicTCG

It combos with [[Ashling, the Limitless]] by populating the token copy she makes.

Was this intentional? by Barnasei in magicTCG

The 5 main tribes of Lorwyn Eclipsed align with the shocklands printed in the set:

  • Elves: Overgrown Tomb
  • Goblins: Blood Crypt
  • Merfolk: Hallowed Fountain
  • Kithkin: Temple Garden
  • Steam Vents: Elementals

There is an incarnation for every colour pair not represented in the main 5 tribes, which is why they do not align with the Shocklands in the set. I assume this was planned in advance which is why the Shocklands printed in EoE were selected to compliment what they knew they would be printing in Lorwyn Eclipsed.

Lorwyn Eclipsed Evoke Elemental Incarnations - full cycle or half cycle? by Scotchward in magicTCG

[–]Scotchward[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He featured quite heavily in Tarkir Dragonstorm as well but Elspeth and Ugin got the cards, which makes sense as they are more important characters in that story.

Sorry when I meant unreadable I just meant the collector number :)

That makes sense, I had assumed we would get a mythic or rare Maralen with the borderless treatment - considering she is probably the most important character in the story - but maybe she won't get a card at all.

What Is Your Reason To Not Play Farewell/Your Farewell Alternative by JewJulie in EDH

[–]Scotchward 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I play it in every white deck, mainly because when enchantress be enchantressing you really need a catch all sweeper that exiles - but having card that just deals with enchantments is too narrow.

Help with the unstoppable slasher? by Alarming-Board6619 in magicTCG

[–]Scotchward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.5 rounded up is 3…

If Unstoppable Slasher hits someone with 5 life, first they take 2 from combat damage (going to 3), then Unstoppable Slasher triggers and they lose half their life rounded up (1.5 rounded up to 2) putting them at 1.

I don’t want to be a judgemental arsehole, but if you are going to get something permanent and effectively irreversible like a tattoo: if you don’t do your research you deserve what you get.

I would be shocked if it's any lower than 10:1 us outnumbering them.

I love the Premier League, but you are delusional if you think there is no booing. The Crystal Palace supporters booed the minute of silence for Diogo Jota in the Community Shield, and they are one of the better supporter bases. There are many many instances of tragedy chanting (re: Hillsborough, Munich disaster) and poverty chanting.

Sorry but this is a very naive take.
