[MTG] Temple of Abandon errata: Temple of Parties; Born of the Gods Prerelease Feb 1+2
What's a decent deck editor these days? Anything out there that lets me make piles and save as a .dek? I only just got lackey (having used MWS and 'trice in the past).
Maybe I should just phantom load the cards into MTGO...
I think the only prerelease I'm doing is sunday night 2 headed giant. with me and my partner on blue and white paths
hopefully we get a lot of the white creature that has pay like 2B to drain each opponent a life and just load up his deck with them. I think its a common
edit also considering blue because weighted rare slot gives me a boosted shot at artisan of forms or curse of the swine
(I'm only going to get the Sphinx or the Charlatan)

I think u/r or u/g is strong for prerelease depending on what you get + the kraken is pretty bomb-y
your potential weighted rare is overall pretty decent for limited as well with the exception of artisan (but if you actually want them then you win either way)
Oh yeah also Re: Theros League I'll leave the signups open until say, Tuesday morning when I go to work. I'll see about getting a PM set up with all the info, since we officially have enough people to play.
Which is really just a Theros Sealed Pack Generator with one entirely incorrect pack because the person running it doesn't have the seeded pack properly simulated
I'm not a huge fan of the majority of Theros, but there are some shining pieces. I might remove the discard stuff, in favor of more damage/instants to throw at the agent. I might get some reanimation going too, since I ran into a bit of trouble once he took down my second agent. I had to just burn him down with the Guttersnipe.
Fortunately he didn't have any board presence at that point, so I had a couple turns to do so.

I think so. She's not a 0/0, but Prime Speaker Zeganna is designed to always evolve almost everyone you have on the battlefield, so the +1/+1 counters she gets are counted. I'd expect it would be the same for 0/0's that get counters.

If the card says "Enters play with..." it triggers evolve based on +1/+1 counters. If it says, "When this creature enters play..." it does not. Pretty simple.
The only thing special about 0/0s is that they have to say "Enters play with..." because otherwise it's a trigger, and state-based actions such as going to the graveyard for having zero toughness are checked before the resolution of any trigger.

They're not as reliable as Zeganna, but Simic's other "enters the battlefield with additional +1/+1 counters" like Master Biomancer and Zameck Guildmage work the same way.

Okay great
Was suddenly uncertain whether or not hydras triggered the evolve on my Gyre Sages which would have been a pretty big deal
Wanted the Blue pack, but ended up with the white one at the midnight prerelease. I ended up with a handful of cards I wanted to run that wet actually white.
My green was really, really good, so I splashed blue and white for extra removal. I'll post a list when I get home, but my deck was sick, ended up 5-0ing the thing.
Question for you guys, I'm going Sunday to sell my collection at a shop about an hour away. I have around 12 boxes of various types full of cards ranging back to the original release of Ravnica. I know it varies from card to card, but from your experiences what do you guys think I would get in cash for this sort of collection? A couple hundred?
Do you have them sorted into common/uncommon/rare/mythic and did you pick out the good rares yet?
If they're even buying anything but choice singles they will probably offer you a bulk rate for each rarity, which is fine for common and uncommon but for Rare and Mythic you'll want to be sure you've gone through and taken out the good singles so they can be counted individually (I don't know which ones to tell you to watch out for because I didn't play for most of the last 7-10 years)

Yeah. They're only going to give you bulk rates if you just show up with boxes. If you want to get value you're gonna have to go through and pick out the good stuff yourself.

It leans toward that color, but it's not straight mono (except the rare)
I need to figure out what kind of schedule is best for everyone

this is gonna be a sealed thing right
also i think I might do the midnight prerelease because those are always a fun and tiring time
At the midnight DGM prerelease my match in the last round played right up until store closing and it was terrible and i had a blast

thank ya!
as far as schedules go, I can generally make time any (PST) weeknight or weekend so long as I have a bit of notice or regularity

I'm thinking of bloodrushing Pyrewild's onto an Agent's of Fate.
fake edit from the bloodrush section of the gtc product info page
It does not. It's an ability, not a spell.
Makes the deck easier to build too.
Let us know what you get!

otherwise you couldn't use hydropons in your simic deck and then what's the point

That's why Zegana is the best Evolver ever, because she will always enter with 1 power higher than your strongest creature.

The artifact elk was amazing.
