      I'm glad white is getting more stack interaction but none of this card reads like a white spell.
      White puts cards back to the deck, not the hand.

        Anonymous

        White has always been the secondary counterspell color and this is essentially a soft counterspell
        The only reason this doesn't "reads White" is because WotC was too scared of giving White something that was already essentially theirs, because "counterspell bad"

          I do agree that tax counter spells are white, even if wizards considers it a color pie shift.
          Honestly every color should have more stack interaction, but bluegays would lose their shit if that happened.

              I mean proper interaction, tibalts trickery was step in the right direction but wizards are morons and didn't consider you'd use it on your own shit. Literally the exact same logic that caused the oko frick up, they didnt think you'd use his +1 on your own food.

        It'll be good in hammertime and as a sideboard card but it's not like every white deck always wants to hold mana up for an effect like this.

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        It's not a hard counterspell, it's a tempo play
        Basically if whatever you are bouncing costs 2 or less it's a pretty mediocre card, because your opp gets his spell back (which is obviously an useful card) and you get 1 random card which may or may not be useful atm
        It's pretty busted if it targets something big cuz then it's essentially a 2 mana Time Walk but this will be legal in formats where big spells aren't the norm
        Its biggest value is in hard control decks where stabilizing is more important than board presence, because the latter can be achieved pretty easily with a 4 mana wrath provided you survive until then... which is where this kind of effect is at its most valuable

        As an addendum, however, it being White is huge because W also gets spell taxing effects which helps you get to the "essentially Time Walk" mode

              sounds like a reasonable assumption to me given that every single card in the game is also called a spell card. just admit that your game is confusing sometimes and you are too autistic to understand that

                False, land cards are not spells at any point in time, and nonlands are only spells while on the stack.

            The argument isn't if it will replace pain lands, but if it will be used with them.

          It's more of an RB city of brass. never being able to tap without taking damage makes it significantly worse than pain lands, still playable though.

      JRR Tolkien's son was the hyper-vigilant one with a massive stick up his ass over adaptations and spinoffs. He's the guy who hated the movies because of how "Hollywood" they were.
      Now it's one of Tolkien's distant grandsons, who just wants to make as much money as possible and treats LotR as "property" like any sleazy corporate type. That's why the past 5 years have had an obscene onslaught of shitty games, lazy spinoff material, and the putrid amazon show.

                kinda sorta but not really? you can only use it to cast your commander and it's only a one time thing, and it's a singleton 100 card format, so it's not actually as useful as you'd think. commanders who have low casting costs, or casting costs that are made up of multiple types of mana with no colorless (like Bombadil in the OP) don't really care for it outside of paying commander tax. i've seen more people using it as a proxy for a black lotus than i have people actually using it in EDH.

            It's also not a great comparison. OG Phyrexians were heavily in body horror camp. New Phyrexia started adding more metal to the body horror theme, but only some categories. To be with Elesh Norn you had to remove all of your skin, and consist only as bare flesh and bone with porcelain armor.

                Anonymous

                No. Phyrexia came from some bad fricker named Yawgmoth curing not-radioactive poisoning with oil that twists their mind and slowly takes over the body's blood. After getting exiled for this, Yawgmoth was butthurt and decided to give his patients a purpose, thrive and grow to reclaim their old home. Over thousands of years it turned into a body horror murder cult, ready to spring at the opportunity to spread and invade. After they tried multiple attempts they got nuked and their god Yawgmoth killed.
                The priests in the previous image only come after that, when a planeswalker named Karn inadvertently brings some of the corrupting oil to a different planet, metallic in nature, which resulted in a golem going mad. The thing here is the oil, it will corrupt and spread itself to anything it can find. The planet itself was corrupted by this oil, over time all of the organic inhabitants either died or became corrupted. However, they lack the focus of the first one and were infighting due to disagreements with identity (colored mana in magic affects personality, previously they were all black which is death and decay, but now they're all 5)

                its breathtaking knowing the full breadth and depth of Karn's many failures in life.

                the whole "Pacifist but then gives up way after he could have saved the Multiverse", to "Making the Mirari", to "turning the Mirari into Memenarch who caused the Mirrodin debacle" to "also spread the oil on his own plane and others" to now "Phyrexia is invading and converting and killing untold BILLIONS of people"

                he really is the Multiverses greatest frick up, right next to that moron planeswalker that gave Yawgmoth Phyrexia, however, at least that walker only messed up once, and immediately died for it.

                which? the one that showed him Phyrexia? that one is a known issue, its Dyfed, and female Trans planeswalker who was as gullible as you can possibly get, right upon making the infamous porta using the two stones (which eventually get named Might and Weak) and walking through with Yawgmoth, he stabbed her head with a dagger made out of powerstone.

                Rebecc found her somehow still living but incapacitated body, pulled out the dagger, and she died.

                if your talking the Planeswalker who initially made the Plane, its implied to be some sort of Dragon Walker who was black mana and machine oriented, not Ugin, who by this point, had already faked his death fighting his brother Nicol Bolas and became a Spirit Dragon and fricked off to Tarkir.

                it COULD be Bolas, but its highly unlikely, he's never claimed any involvement.

      I have played both, mtg has what is in my opinion more interesting mechanics + unlimited board size. This means you can do all kinds of wacky shit, like combo decks where you make an infinite number of tokens or just loop the same effect over and over.
      Personally I was unable to go back to yugioh because it felt too rigid design wise after playing MTG.

        are those fun with a resource system?
        in yugioh too much recursion always results in peak degeneracy

        Magic is only 6 years older than Yu-Gi-Oh.

        the tcg is quite a bit younger and I dont know any fellow zoomies who are particularly interested in magic style fantasy so I got the impression mtg is mainly a game played by older millenials

          Yeah, you need to spend a few turns actually building the setup and your opponent will more than likely have instant speed interaction (hand traps that cost resources).
          Theres also like 8 different formats, so if the meta gets annoying in one you can go play another.
          My personal favorite mechanic is devotion.

                his actual character was never counterspell.txt but he certainly didn't have a good character, and wotc did absolutely nothing to attempt to combat that notion either since they just let him frick around and did little with the actual story for a good few years while they just showed smug counterspell man in the set
                for as much retconning and character assassination as origins did jace was arguably the one that came out the best from it because he had little to actually retcon, and then later on they gave him an actually good character in that one spinoff in ravnica and in ixalan, only to trash it for years until nic "frozen toes" kelman got fired

                he's pretty emotionally smart, as he and he alone saw right through Liliana's bullshit and knew deep in her was a sad kid who couldn't save her own brother.

          Teferi is one of the least pandering minority characters considering he's just a black mage that's been in magic almost as long as the game has existed. I know you zoomies are too young to remember but one of the main character's in the early days was the captain of the Weatherlight crew who was a middle-eastern looking woman. Dark skinned people have always been in magic prominently. Taking characters that were white and making them dark is what hasn't always been a thing.

                She is from Zhalfir and everyone from there looks either black or middle-eastern. She is very clearly designed to look like the real world equivalent of a middle-easterner which I have no doubt the /misc/ brigade would freak out just as much about. She was a middle-eastern woman with an OC do-not-steal level power of being unaffected by magic and the captain of the crew that was the focus on the story. These morons freaking out about Teferi would have a conniption if that was released today.

      It's the same that happened to Yugioh. When the power level rises and limitations lower, the only counterplay to many cards becomes to deal with it before it gets played. Hand disruption was the most powerful thing in early Yugioh because of this. It wasn't just Delinquent Duo, it was 1 for 1s too like Confiscation. Drop Off saw play. This is why Stax is busted in EDH.

The only thing duelyst.gg has going for it is a very small number of new cards and some balance changes but the only one that's even a particularly good change is wanderer to 4/5.

        I think there is a small chance some of them, if not all, do. Wizards seems like they are trying to set-up a new generation of Planeswalkers. Kaya not being completed and Kaito and the Emperor suddenly getting so much focus makes me think as much.

        Nissa is the only planeswalker I give a shit about because I enjoy the land based gimmicks on her cards. Feel free to make fun of me because I don't know a single fricking thing about whatever lore MTG has.

          oh her cards are perfectly fine, if anything I'm mad they give her good cards because land/mana heavy green decks are my favorite
          she's just the biggest joke of a character in the entire franchise and has been written as one of the most inconsistent and stupid characters to exist
          they've tried like, 3 or 4 personalities for her at this point and not a single one of them was good or well liked so they just made her a douchebag the last few times she showed up, then even in the story where she gets compleated she's a literal afterthought.
          the entire story is about lukka going through the maze and then he gets corrupted by its influence when he gets to vorinclex and glissa, then the like last two lines of the story are "oh yea nissa is here too, we should get her later" then the next time she shows up is as a puppet with elesh's group

        there's a second option for some.

        remain compleated, but have their brains purified, Jace is barely different for instance.

        Elspeth is likely to have some wild ass powers so who knows what she'll do in the plot.

                ya know, I like it better this way, its rare for MTG to give us a straight up shonen plot twist of a character gaining a newfound overpowered form in the crucial moment like this.

                I just hope Super Angel Elspeth looks especially cool, she's my favorite walker regardless long before this, its hype she gets a big moment that doesn't involve dying.

                >hair and eyes change color

                she's literally a western depiction of a Super Saiyan, and I love it.

                this is a trope Western writers need to use more, hero's coming back in a real pinch gaining untold power from their adventures and understandings and more importantly, their NEED to win, despite all the odds against them, speaks deeply to the soul of people, its why its such a great narrative device in fighting anime.

                when someone is beaten, and evil is about to prevail, everyone wishes in their hearts, that the hero just gets up, stronger than ever, and saves the day, Superman used to embody this, but no longer.

                its weird only the Nips get this "quickened" version of the hero's journey and why the "get power from the underworld" part of the journey is so good.

                no matter how much you know its coming in the Anime, it always feels good.

                her hair and eyes are the same colors as the armor she's wearing, hinting obviously that she has made her armor and weapons out of nothing, which is why its the same scheme.

              not to defend WotC but you do have to keep in mind that the sets (and their lore) are designed like 2-3 years in advance. they probably designed the stuff coming out right now at the start of covid, which was right when even the less diehard marvelgays were starting to get burnt out on the superhero stuff.

      man the Weatherlight and its crew was great, its a good story and a great little twist on a D&D Crew.

      the twist being, that they are mid level D&D characters put against an Epic++ campaign they have zero hope of actually defeating.

      was spot on as to why the Weatherlight crew were endearing and it's something they could never do with the all the modern walkers. The only current walkers that have any of that same kind of feel to them for me is Kaito and the Emperor but I know they'll ahve the Emperor get cured and ruin it.

          Was truly a miracle, I think everyone was shocked what a good job they did. Like some people, I didn't like the "not computers" computers but really, even that considered I was surprised at how much I liked cyberpunk Kamigawa. It was a weirdly interesting way to make an enchantment plus artifact set where the enchantments are the old ways and the artifacts are the new cyberpunk elements of society.
