Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

I think the best card in that set by a long shot is the wurm. Reminds me of beast attack from back in the day, and that card was a windmill slam first pick. Whether or not this is better is debatable. The card advantage inherent to flashback is a big deal, but, so is trample and a CMC -1

MASTER OF CRUELITIES MEET MY ROGUE PASSAGE DECK

DONE

HAEHAHHAEHAHAHAA

[Gammagooey]

hmm

isn't blocked isn't nearly as good as when deals combat damage, wanted to kessig wolf run some junk

he'd be pretty good in red-black-blue or in decks with lightning maulers, otherwise hes just another bomb you have to deal with or you lose the game (and probably isn't better than olivia voldaren in most situations)

[Fate]

I think he's pretty sexy in grixis decks, also olivia can't start defense the turn she comes down unless you have a lot of mana and dies to searing spears etc.

[kdowns]

I honestly don't see him amounting to anything.

[Fate]

Yeah, pretty sure I was talking about the second.

I dunno, I tend to only follow spoiler season very lightly, mainly because everyone always hyperventilates about cards which end up being bad and dismisses cards that are actually amazing. If magic players have proved anything with each iteration of spoiler season it is that we are all fantastically terrible at card evaluation until we can actually play with the cards in context. I can see any of the cards that I've seen here (read: the only ones I've looked at) being amazing under the right circumstances, and all of them also being virtually unplayable. Its just important to take spoiler season with a grain of salt, and that grain of salt is that we suck.

I really want to get started actually being able to play MTGO...anyone have some pauper shit to dump on me so I can play pauper?

[bv310]

Laughing at people in the Rumor mill on MTGS is by far the best thing to do during spoiler season.

It's the best.

[Thestatusquo]

If by pauper shit to ship you you mean any common from the last couple of sets, (like AVR onward) I can ship you pretty much anything. Things like cloud of faeries or gush or daze? Spend your own 50 tix. lol

[xRECKONERx]

I mean, is it possible to build a competitive MTGO pauper deck with just recent shit? I just want a cheap way to play and have a chance at winning some shit

[Sudo_Nym]

Well, you can build a decent competitive deck for like 10 tix. If you actually want to win events, though, you're looking at 100+, same as any other format. It's slightly better, now that Storm is out, but MonoU and Cloudpost are still around.

[Thestatusquo]

I think 100 is a stretch, but 50-75 tix should get you anything but the most ridiculously overcosted stuff. Like mono U delver probably would run you about 90 tix.

Also, what other format is going to run you 100? Standard right now you're looking at that on mana base alone, and modern you're looking at that just from one set of fetches.

[Sudo_Nym]

It's been a while since I've priced everything, since I haven't been on MTGO in months. I remember that Mono U Delver was around 125 when I left, though. Maybe Cloud of Faeries has gone down, now that Storm isn't bleeding some?

[xRECKONERx]

Are there any cubes active on MTGO right now? I have ten cube tix and six regular tix, I'm wanting to do something to get started. Someone said Momir games, but I don't know where to find those, or how to get the avatars.

[Sudo_Nym]

You can buy the avatars from bots, I think, but I'm not sure how to get a game.

[Thestatusquo]

There are momir daily's.

[xRECKONERx]

How many tix for the avatar? And when do the dailies run?

[AGar]

[chamber]

avatar is like 11 tix I think.

[kdowns]

avatar is like 11 tix I think.

It was 14 when I got mine a couple of weeks ago.

[chamber]

You can buy it from the store for 12 dollars I believe. Most bots try and sell it for 14 but users sell it for 11-12

I couldn't find it on the store, Then again I have beta client.

I fully expect them to try and nerf cloudpost with the DGM B&R Update. They've started tinkering now, and Delver/Post put up like 60% of the meta right now, and shove out a thousand other archetypes.

[xRECKONERx]

found a decent white weenies pauper deck that I can build for like 4 tix, but I can't seem to find any Prismatic Strands or Standard Bearers anywhere on MTGO
