No Eldrazi? no Dark Depths?

I dunno if you guys have been continuing to watch spoilers or not but there have been some CRAZY flavourful cards in this set. There is even a card that is Plants vs. Zombies on a single card.

A few other samples:

And then this:

Quote from: Reverend Bob

Quote from: Spoiler
Grimoire of the Dead
4
Legendary Artifact (M)
1, T, Discard a card: Put a study counter on ~.
T, Remove three counters and sac this: Return all creature cards from all graveyards to play under your control They are black Zombies in addition to their color and creature types.
Klaatu...

Barada....

Nnnnnnecktie....

There, I said it... I said your stupid words.

Dear god, how many Mythics are in this set?

Mongrel · « **Reply #1484 on:** September 18, 2011, 11:52:06 AM »

???

Just the usual 15 (usual for a large set).

They've spoiled all of them now. And - thank goodness! - they all seem either unplayable in serious formats or usable only very situationally, except maybe Lilliana who can probably go in a couple decks and will see at least some play in Standard. There's a couple that might pan out in a deck somewhere (Skaab Ruinator, Geist of Saint Traft, Past In Flames, Mirror-Mad Geist), but even if they make it, they're not going to be ubiquitous.

Yeah you don't say something like that and then not show us.

http://mtgsalvation.com/1312-the-math-of-banning-sol-ring-in-commander.html

Article name should be self-explanatory.

I haven't read it all. I'll weigh in on it shortly.

McDohl · « **Reply #1490 on:** September 19, 2011, 12:10:29 AM »

Honestly, who cares? Sol Ring is almost as ubiquitous as Sensei's Divining Top, Lightning Greaves, and signets, if not more so. Degenerate twats that decide to run turn-one/two victories in EDH deserve nothing less than scorn and ridicule, even being ousted. For every Jhoira of the Ghitu you see, there's always something much, much worse. Dropping Rite of Replication kicked on Kokusho, the Evening Star before he was banned.

I might need to sleep on what I think about Sol Ring, but for now, I can really only say that Sol Ring isn't as much of a problem as the article is stating.

Several other Transform cards change color without warning text, like Civilized Scholar.

These dogs are FUCKING HARDCORE.

hooray for Standard Wayne Reynolds "BRRM I'M AN AIRPLANE" Pose

BUT NO FLYING IN GREEN, HONEST.

lolwhat.

wtf? also this is slightly worse than flying in that it can't block things with flying.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1493 on:** September 19, 2011, 04:59:01 AM »

That tree threw me off because I thought we had 15 mythics already. Can't figure out which card on the Salvation spoiler was wrong before.

EDIT: Huh, no, there are 16 Mythics.

MadMAxJr · « **Reply #1494 on:** September 19, 2011, 01:57:16 PM »

So who picked up the Duels of the Planeswalkers expansion on steam? I wouldn't mind playing a few hands.

Envy · « **Reply #1495 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:06:21 PM »

I really love the zombie theme of this set, but can we stop with the two white mana knights.

Edit: I can see why Sol Ring would get banned it does get a bit ridiculous though I haven't played commander yet. I just haven't had the drive to come up with something fun yet. It's a really good card regardless. It's a solid 2 mana producing artifact. This is mostly why signets and other things came in for two mana. Which was also good, but not too fast. Except the signets were specialized for two colors.

Envy · « **Reply #1496 on:** September 20, 2011, 09:00:10 AM »

So that new ban list. Ponder and Preordain? I mean yeah they are really good, but still.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1497 on:** September 20, 2011, 10:15:49 AM »

The ban list update was goddamned hilarious, especially for Modern. Basically they started off by banning half the format. Then they banned the other half.

Amusingly, they unbanned Fact or Fiction in Type 1, but it still won't see much play since Jace is usually better at the 4-mana slot and isn't a 4-of. And they finally got around to paying attention to Extended (i.e. banning Jace & Stoneforge mystic there too).

Envy · « **Reply #1498 on:** September 20, 2011, 11:24:40 AM »

Jace and Stoneforge banning make a little more sense in extended, but the one that really got me was green sun. "Withholding comment on this one for now.Green Sun seems a bit odd (If you think Tarmogoyf is that broken then ban him rather than the tutor). It's a very versatile card that doesn't feel broken, even when fetching Primeval Titan on turn 3 off Cloudposts."

Edit: I read modern as standard ignore that.

M11: Enchantment cards are discontinued under the notion that they are redundant and replaced with coloured artifacts.

M12: After a disastrous Pro-Tour event, all blue cards are put on the Restricted list.

M13: The one-land-per-turn rule is rescinded. Designers claim it makes the game "too slow."

M14: The Hasbro-Disney/Marvel merger sees the first proprietary cards printed. Donaldpool decks sweep the tournament scene.

This was about two years ago. :3
