    Not a huge difference but a 0/2 doesn't die to the other half of the new Blightning like a 1/1 so... Yay!

    Actually is there a good way to add counters in Elfball? Really wish we had Rishkar atm.

    Feels like all my old decks are going to get ruined by the new decks that'll be possible.

    Also curious what'll happen when rotation hits.

    Rotation is a long, long way off. My only real prediction is that multicolor decks, especially three color, become a lot less viable with the loss of the checklands.

    I'm still not sure why they haven't just announced Arena Modern as the post rotation format yet

    What other solution is there

  • milskimilski Poyo! Registered User regular
    The issue is what does Arena modern mean, exactly? That's still up in the air, and I doubt they make an official announcement until they have that locked down.

    Its just all the sets that have run in arena since release

    Maybe give it a snappier name to differentiate it from paper modern

    That still doesn't actually clarify if Amonkhet and Kaladesh are in it or not :P

    They out, not in the game at official release

    Arena Wild definitely needs Amonkhet and Kaladesh, so I can go running right back to God Pharoah's Gift.

    "Dovin's acuity" is an odd name for a card when the only acuity he demonstrates is that he can accurately count to six.

    (I know part of the issue is that most people don't know what planeswalkers are or that they exist. But Dovin is a planeswalker, so it's not that he's a non-planeswalker who figured out the truth. He can just literally count to six.

    Maybe he's figured out Bolas's conspiracy, I guess?)

    To be fair, counting to 6 is probably mentally comforting for Kaladesh Vedalken.

    And he's part of Bolas's conspiracy. He's counting his allies, compared with the Gatewatch (who total at 5 for all he knows).

    Oh jeeze.

    And so much removal nowadays specifies things that you don’t own.

    Love that ooze

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    Oh jeeze.

    And so much removal nowadays specifies things that you don’t own.

    yeah, if you're depending on Conclave Tribunal/Ixalan's Binding for enchantment removal, you're out of luck.

    More dedicated effects like Knight of Autumn still work, but outside of that, it could be a tough one to shake.

    that ooze seems kind of good? it definitely wins the game if left unattended/breaks board stalls naturally, eventually

    captive audience is really cool but really expensive

    it totally is

    it has pretty bad matchups though, so it doesn't make too many waves, but it is on modo league top 8 occasionally and sees tournament play

    Grixis could be a thing now that they've got Rakdos stuff to play around with.

    To be nitpicky: those enchantments (and things like Assassin's Trophy) affect permanents you don't control, which is why they don't work against Captive Audience.

    Whereas a (much rarer) effect like Venser, the Sojourner's +2 can affect something you own, meaning it began the game in your deck. If you were running Breya as your commander you could totally Captive Audience someone and then reset it after three rounds with Venser.
