Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Holy crap I hadn't thought of that interaction between Doubling Season and planeswalkers. I suppose that explains why Doubling Season is *taptaptaptaptap* THIRTY dollars right now and nearly solid out o_O

Yeah, it's a big interaction too. Online I ran into Doubling Season into Sarkhan Vol... 4 mana for 10 dragon tokens... bye bye.

Alternatively, Ajani, Caller of the Pride for 3 mana to bring out x 2/2 cats. If you're in a game of commander and get that off turn four of five, that's likely to be a lot of cat.

2X 2/2 cats actually

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread

Grimgrin, 3 Blood Artists, and a pair of Mortus Striders. I feel so dirty.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Something I just realized. When someone plays Devour Flesh on one of your creatures, does that mean they played a spell that makes you eat one of your own? O.o

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Huh. So, I go to FNM, first pick Nightveil Specter over Holy Mantle, end up seeing Boros looking open around picks 3 and 4 but stay the course and end up with a quite nice Dimir control/beatdown deck.
Then I come home and watch the LRRMtG Twitch archive, and see them first pick Nightveil Specter over Holy Mantle, end up seeing Boros open around pick 4 but stay the course and end up with a quite nice Dimir aggro/mill deck.
I ended up going 4-0, and walked away with a Boros Reckoner for my troubles... still looking forward to seeing how the LRR one goes.

I played Dimir/control last night too and got second. I was super surprised at how well it did. Call of the Nightwing + Hands of Binding are beastly.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Magic itself is mocking me now. I've opened over 55 packs total of Gatecrash, including a full booster box. Yet I've not opened a single shockland so far. I've also been playing some phantom sealed Gatecrash. I started one, and what was in my pool? TWO SHOCKLANDS. Sonofa...

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Probability of opening zero shocklands from 55 packs: about 0.9%.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Anyone else super excited for Sorin v. Tibalt? This is the first MtG product I've ever pre-ordered, since I love Sorin's character. The decklists and a runthrough of a few skirmishes using the decks were posted to Daily MTG earlier this week.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
So Sorin, Lord Of Innistrad AND Hellrider? I'm not sure what other money rares it has, but it seems like it's going to be a good value.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
I certainly wouldn't mind another Sorin...
That said, anyone else think "Sorin vs Tibalt" sounds kind of lame given the relative power of the Planeswalker cards themselves?

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Just putting it here in case but I'd think the next vs might be a Jace vs Ral which I would SO buy considering if Ral is relatively playable. (I acknowledge the fact that Jace has been in vs' decks before: Jace vs Chandra) Considering the storyline in RTR block. Sorin vs Tibalt seems cool for grabbing Sorin and hellrider (never got into Dark Ascension & Innstrad much) and just getting Tibalt for the sake of it.
Oh-h-h-h SNAP... Concede.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
I voted for Enchantment because I'd love to see more viable enchantments. It's such an under represented card type.

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Confession time:
When playing constructed I try to keep my deck to 4 rares or less. My Undead Alchemist deck could do with a bunch of Dimir rares, but I have to get by without them, since the Alchemist is rare and I need all 4 of him
Therefore, when I beat someone, even on MTGO, who has a deck full of nothing but rares, and I'm just milling/exiling them, I feel much more smug than I really should.
