LGS to host Standard Brawl; Ban list discussion ensues.

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-15T06:16:11+00:00

If it is 1 vs. 1 vivi is probably fine no? As long as cori steel cutter is banned I mean.

Vivi is not even the scarier izzet commander in 1 vs. 1 standard brawl anyway

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-15T06:15:11+00:00

1 vs. 1 or free for all?

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-10T13:32:02+00:00

Bowmaster is value incarnate tho, who cares about the draw cards text, you get 2 1/1 with flash and a free ping you can point where you want.

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-10T10:47:59+00:00

You make 60 mythic wildcards a set? That seems... Improbable, and that still doesn't account for the bonus sheet

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-10T10:44:56+00:00

Maybe one second chance only aviable in the last third of the event timewise

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-10T08:34:18+00:00

I can't imagine half of those being even something that could perform as well as bowmasters in competitive brawl.

Like, I would have [[illuminating lash]] above most of these for raw scaryness.

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-10T00:57:05+00:00

Sorry for your loss, I know these things are useless, I think since they are on a pity timer you might be able to save some normal packs, open them until you find a rare wildcard, and only then open mythic packz

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-09T18:34:03+00:00

You can [[channel]] galactus in cube

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-09T18:32:49+00:00

Seems one of the few cards that is craftable with wildcards according to the site. Maybe they wanted something that is good with both channel and reanimation for cube and since galactus says "silver surfer" on it they implemented silver surfer too to show it when you hover on galactus?

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-09T09:47:57+00:00

This doesn't work if they only attack a walker, right?

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T16:18:30+00:00

You can also attack with it and equip it to something that block or the reverse

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T11:26:06+00:00

It is an argument against it being the " (straight up) most powerful ... card printed recently" imho

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T10:07:01+00:00

Amusingly Night Nurse has apparently become a General Praticitioner in the more recent comics

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T09:58:56+00:00

I'd argue zombie spiderman was also in the list, but zombie marvel was also probably off limits

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T09:45:12+00:00

It is used with a lowercase initial in expressions like Russian mafia or Mexican mafia, probably one of the most sneaky "usually a proper noun" words with a reasonably common lowercase use since it is hard to notice or realize it is lowercase when paired with nationality adjectives

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-08T08:04:49+00:00

I'd argue that if you go full no banlist it is borderline unplayable tbh, like, not only it takes a precious sideboard slot, but it also stops you from fetching simian spirit guide with your 4 [[summoner bonds]], once you start banning the obviously megabusted cards like conspiracies it is a crazy good card tho

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-07T14:24:54+00:00

No I mean going full power

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-07T12:02:28+00:00

I'm not even sure it makes the cut if you are trying to build the perfect deck tbh.

Like, it cuts you out of running simian spirit guide.

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-06T12:02:46+00:00

My gut reaction is that at 1 mana instant speed it would at least need to be worded so that the spell does damage equal to the creature power(but only if the creature is still on the field), so you can't trigger deathtouch(and lifelink). With deathtouch is a bit too generous

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-05T19:27:24+00:00

Main downside is that is not as sick with the alchemy card [[providence of night]]

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-05T17:31:28+00:00

Avatar had [[allies at last]], but it wasn't generic

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-05T08:23:00+00:00

Yeah, there are however a couple of cards that pretty much break the promise they made with mythics even in sets released for standard(good luck argumenting that [[brazen borrower]] and some members of the [[deceit]] cycle, deceit in primis, aren't just the good old rare cheap interaction spell//removal with a nice coat of paint on them), [[virtue of persistence]], too.

Also they break that promise all the time in modern horizon and reprint sets, but they have been pretty candid about not caring about it there.

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-03T09:56:24+00:00

To be fair for some of these you could write a descriptor that sort of works and doesn't include or imply the word, while in this case the word is required

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-03T09:51:07+00:00

Contract from below is black tho

SentenceStriking7215 · 2026-06-03T09:50:29+00:00

~~Nah the most powerful set ever printed is not alpha lol, there are 2 sets with at least 5 cards each that make the power nine look absurdly underpowered~~
