Magic: The Gathering

Isn't Collected Company out of standard with this rotation?

Nope, only Khans and Fate Reforged are rotating out.

[Weltall]

I don't know if this will be good in Standard, but this card literally turns fetchlands into: Pay 1 Life, Fix your Mana, Draw a card....

I am really excited to see what can be built around Gitrog Monster. Do you think that this is eluding to a crucible of worlds reprint?

Also this set has some awesome zombies in it. I can't wait to fit some into my Thraximundar zombie tribal commander deck.

[Krandor]

Jesus fuck, Gitrog Monster is crazy

That card is gonna be huge in EDH too, so even if it ends up not being a thing in modern it will definitely make for solid trade bait down the line

[zoobernut]

I am loving the flavor of this set regardless of how much of it is playable it is so in line with the first Innistrad block and overall the horror theme is held so well.



I didn't feel this much invested in the theme/flavor of the Khans block and I didn't get to play enough of BFZ and OGW to get a sense of flavor from those sets but I love the horror flavor of Innistrad.

[Weltall]

Do you think that this is eluding to a crucible of worlds reprint?

Yeah, in Eternal Masters

[Moridam]

gitrog is neat, the big body/upkeep cost combo is very reminiscent of old-school creature design, but it looks playable (in contrast to most old-school big body creatures).

[zoobernut]

Yeah, in Eternal Masters

Thanks for making me sad...

Yeah that is one of the reasons I like Gitrog is it reminds me of old school creatures like Force of Nature and Demonic Hordes.

[Xerlic]

Lol there is 0 chance Crucible is being reprinted in a standard legal set. They don't make cards like that anymore.

Gitrog is supposed to play with this thing. http://mythicspoiler.com/soi/cards/drownyardtemple.html

[Krandor]

I don't think Gitrog is gonna do much in standard, but it could likely do some insane things in Modern.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Yeah, I have to agree. Thats going to be annoying to deal with

[Weltall]

Wow, talk about horrible:

I don't even know why they bother to do this shit. This should be a .10 cent rare...

[Slott]

Both green mythics are puke worthy :[ Maybe green will still get a flip-werewolf.

[Weltall]

How many cards are even left to spoil? I was really hoping for a mythic non-basic.

[Moridam]

according to MTGS we're at 171/297

[Xerlic]

The Hydra would be soooooo much better if it had trample instead of reach, but it'd still be a worse Primeval Titan.

[zoobernut]

For a mythic that hydra should search up at least 2 lands or more maybe put some in your hand and some into the battlefield. Something is really lacking in that card.

[Krandor]

Everything about it is lacking. It would generally be coming down as a 6/6 for 6, which is fine for a common/uncommon but not so great for a Mythic.

At that CMC Reach is probably not worth a damn in most situations, and one land coming into play tapped is just incredibly uninteresting.

It's a horrendously downgraded Prime Time that just doesn't seem to have any real value in Standard, and gets btfo by Titan in every other format.

[GoggleHead]

They really need to stop trying to force Hydras.

[Weltall]

So, for 2 mana is this guy not grossly OP in limited or am I reaching?

Also, green got a really good limited common yesterday. 1G - Your creature deals damage to target create opponent controls (they don't fight).
