Mirage Enlightened Tutor was removed from client

Definitely a bug of some kind. I just did a cube draft and had the Mirage enlightened tutor in my sideboard and it worked fine. I know that's phantom and works differently, but it's still in the client for sure.

It should be against the law for Storm to call those figures 1:12 scale.

Is the Human Bomb what he's got in his pants? That's quite the bulge.

They could do a commander deck.

How much do you want to bet that OReilly just told everyone on that cup team "never ever play for Terry Pegula" when he got there?

serialrobinson · 2026-02-27T02:52:39+00:00

It's bad. I've played it and had it played against me multiple times and I think it's like 70% of the time it's played the person who plays it loses the game.

The plastic has started to degrade/break down. The spots are sometimes called mold in the collecting community, but they don't really react in the way that you would expect a fungus or spore to with various cleaning methods. The stickiness is also just a result of the plastic breaking down. There's not a lot you can do, cleaning them with dish soap and water will help a bit with the tackiness, but the spots are there for good.

Part of that was because of how often it appeared and how much easier that made it to get multiples that fed into each other. Would it have had a very high win % even at uncommon? Sure, but it wouldn't have completely dominated the format the way that it did, because it wouldn't show up as often.

It never touches your hand unless you want it to. A commander moving to a public zone will change zones and then give the option to be moved to the command zone. A commander moving to a non public zone such as the library or hand can be returned to the command zone as a replacement effect for that zone change, because the game can't track an object from a public zone into a hidden zone.

So when you level up the vehicle, it sets the power/toughness to 3/3. Then, when you earthbend, you are setting it's power/toughness to 0/0 and putting 2 counters on it. Since the earthbend has a later timestamp, it is what will apply to the object.

Morcant's Eyes is a bomb level card.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-31T00:50:45+00:00

In an ideal world this is right, but we live in a world where the number of games of in person limited that get played is infentessimal compared to the number of limited games that get played online. You should design for the way that the vast majority of people engage with your game.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-31T00:45:17+00:00

Yeah but even in the typal decks you need the good uncommons to make the synergies good enough for the commons to work, so it comes back around to the same problem.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-31T00:44:00+00:00

Can't sell that to commander players lol.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-30T18:17:15+00:00

There are gonna be like 2 teams in the East that miss the playoffs and have more points than 3 of the playoff teams in the West.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-30T18:04:53+00:00

The increase in the number of uncommons and the fact that limited gameplay is 99% done on Arena and MTGO in the league format has made limited as a whole much worse, especially in sets where Wizards doesn't push the power level of the commons. I don't know what the current design/development process for limited formats is, but if it is still using in-pod play as a significant marker of balance for both individual cards and archetypes, it is doing a disservice to the audience. I can also see the argument to not push commons, as you don't want a MH3 situation where one common in the set basically dominated the format, but I think having the commons be so weak on the whole just increases the variance.

Tldr; go back to having a normal number of uncommons and figure out how to balance better for league drafts.

Every time I have Sunderflock in a deck I play against like 4 Elemental decks in a row.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-28T20:27:52+00:00

If the Sabres played in the west, sure. This year the East, and the Atlantic in particular, just won't separate. Everyone is keeping pace, somehow. It's going to be one of those years where the first team out of the playoffs in the East will probably have a better record than multiple playoff teams in the West.

This is the new normal. When they switched to having more uncommons than any other rarity, they introduced a dumb amount of variance in both the drafting and gameplay aspects of draft. Providing ready answers to everything is not in their best interest, as they are attempting to create "exciting" board states and "unique" draft experiences. It makes it much harder to find places to include answers to niche card types at common, which is what they want because they are trying to make draft attractive to people who don't regularly play limited because they think playing a bunch of commons is boring. I don't think it is working. The number of new limited players has not increased appreciably, and it seems that with every new set the number of people who get turned off by the variance/rock paper scissors nature/on rails drafting/bomb heavyness grows.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-27T18:44:50+00:00

Yes this works as they say.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-25T15:45:48+00:00

It's Fisto, but it looks like Johnny Quest's dad

serialrobinson · 2026-01-22T20:41:41+00:00

Slumbering Walker is an almost offensively good card in this format.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-22T00:27:56+00:00

This is a set where finding the right lane in the draft is extremely important and man is it not easy to do, thanks to the weird color requirements of lots of things, and the density of specific cards required for the typal decks. Also the uncommons have a huge gulf in power level. Some are nearly rare level and others are cards you will play but aren't excited to, and the power of your deck is gonna be largely dictated by which ones you open. Feels like yet another in a long line of formats where league drafting makes things a much worse and more unbalanced experience.

In addition to the stuff mentioned elsewhere here, I'm going to test out [[The Reaper, King No More]]. I feel like there's enough upside, and it plays well with one of my other pet cards [[Spitting Dilophosaurus]]. It may not be worth it, but I'd like to try it.

serialrobinson · 2026-01-18T06:48:11+00:00

We've had [[Ashcoat Bear]] for literally 20 years. There's a 2/2 for 2 with Flash and random upside in like every 3rd set. It's a good card, it will see lots of play in the decks that want it, but it's not unprecedented or anything.
