    The nice part about leaning on the white side over the red, is Brimaz himself has fun with Purph until the secure hits.

    I'm wondering, if you have the new Anafenza in play, and you drop another Anafenza, can you stack it in a way so that you bolster the new Anafenza before the other goes poof to legend rule?

    Legend rule happens before.

    legend rule is state-based

    wait... why does it matter which Anafenza gets bolstered? The bolster trigger goes on the stack, state based actions gets rid of one of the Anafenzas, then bolster resolves and goes on the surviving Anafenza (assuming no smaller creatures are in play).

    Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the Legend rule must be resolved before even EoT effects trigger.

    Anyways I don't know why I ever look at the chat during a control mirror. Its just constant complaining about how boring control mirrors are.

    one of the things i actually find interesting about red and white devotion is that the two have had sort of opposite problems

    white's always been rich in good mana dumps for your nykthos mana. at the same time the only good devotion permanent they had is brimaz. that's it. every other double white permanent is just hells of suboptimal, or comes out too late for a devotion deck (lookin' at you, soul of theros)

    red meanwhile always has competitive double red drops at every mana cost, and when they aren't double red they're still cards like rabblemaster and outpost siege where you're like sure! i'll play those cards that can win me the game on their own! but what do you do with your nykthos mana? without burning tree you don't ramp enough to get a stormbreath meaningfully early. sure you can sometimes flip an ashcloud or monstrous a stormbreath but what else are you gonna do? purphoros pump? that's like the worst

    in dragons though, both are receiving cards to address these issues and shore up the personal weak spots of those decks, which is cool

    bummer anafenza's legendary tho

    After debating all week, I decided against going to GP Cleveland this weekend, even though it was technically doable (and was sealed/draft) since I just don't have enough experience with the sets yet and went to FNM instead.

    I went 3-1 and took third place in draft playing Temur, only losing to the overall winner (2-1) who had a blistering Mardu warriors deck sporting Sorin. Amusingly enough, I managed to use a Trap Essence (my only rare card) on turn 3 in two different games.

    Watching GP Cleveland today was interesting. Games were just bombs and removal.

    Nope; the legend rule doesn't happen unless you control two legendary permanents with the same name. You don't control them both until the second one enters the battlefield. This triggers any "enters the battlefield" abilities. You can't respond to them or do anything else until the Legend rule and other state-based actions resolve, but they're triggered and go on the stack.

    Same as if you have an active Purphoros and play another one; the first Purphoros will trigger and deal two damage. Or if you say... Rally the Ancestors four Purphoros's into play (and have enough devotion), each one will trigger three times; when the state-based actions dust settles, you'll have one Purphoros and 12 triggers on the stack.

    I think the idea is they can then equip one another (though you can't equip a creature ever, so you'd have to turn that off somehow too).

    (with those two and koth you can have a mountain wielding a mountain).

    rawr mostly got it

    you can cause, for instance, the legend nicol bolas to equip the walker bolas as an equip

    Ok how the hell did that actually get printed?

    Edit: I mean I find it hilarious and certainly am not offended, but depicting sex - even monkey sex - seems like something a company like WOTC would be terrified of

    Went 2-1 at my first draft in over a year and a half. Got passed a tone of warriors pack 1 so went warriors. I eventually got a raiders spoils and every time I landed it the game ended.

    @knob how do you feel about twin bolt in sligh, I can't decide

    Also, this is my list
    gy76qsej7loi.jpg
    And then new stuff I'm adding I was thinking:

    4x lightning berserker
    2x zurgo bellguy
    4x atarka's command

    And then going up to 18 land

    I cut satyr hoplite and collateral damage but felt kinda bad about the collaterals? Oh and the 2 stoke I was running are gone too. It's stoke. It's an amazing card. But it always seemed to sit in my hand more than I ever cast it.

    This is all theory, you are able to test and play more than me, let me know what you think

    any particular reason for no hordeling outburst

  • I needed anime to post.I needed anime to post. boom Registered User regular
    also 12 creatures feels real bad to me since satyr is just about an auto-remove post-board against some decks

    i think foundry street denizen has some really nice combos with hoplite even if you don't run outburst

    in general though i think sligh actually wants to move away a bit from heroic and titan's/hammer/mantle, especially once we get the other cheap burn options in dragons
