faeries vs cows would not be amusing.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1326 on:** September 14, 2012, 04:24:44 PM »

It certainly wouldn't!

Fairies would win. I'll play kithkin vs fairies though!

Are your cows that bad? They thrashed my wurms... Which in fairness were pretty pitiful.

I don't know if my faeries are all that good yet...

Finlay · « **Reply #1328 on:** September 14, 2012, 06:29:53 PM »

Lorwyn faeries are a bit broken.

Siberius · « **Reply #1329 on:** September 14, 2012, 08:00:02 PM »

Most of the ones in my deck cost 4 or more, there are one or two nasty legendary ones but I'm sure the way I built my deck means it is not broken

except in the true meaning of the word

I did wonder where cold snap fitted in. I think they need to do another snowy block... with more aurochses in it!

It was the (very) belated "finishing" of Ice Age Block (Ice Age, Alliances, Cold Snap), which of course predated the block structure...but that was the rationale. I think Ice Age is now a valid block for "build your own block" though, so that's something.

I want to make a Niv-mizzet/swans deck.

Unlimited card draw... then maybe:

Win.

Finlay · « **Reply #1332 on:** September 15, 2012, 01:59:20 PM »

Where are the swans from?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1333 on:** September 15, 2012, 02:01:53 PM »

Shadowmoor. It's quite a weird card!

Finlay · « **Reply #1334 on:** September 15, 2012, 04:04:21 PM »

I think he'd be good for the birds!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1335 on:** September 16, 2012, 10:44:22 AM »

Maybe! I bought one for my ghost deck, on the grounds that he's a ghost as well as a bird. I worry that he could cause your opponent to draw lots of cards and then win in your face, however.

Finlay · « **Reply #1336 on:** September 16, 2012, 10:57:34 AM »

Just get him out at the end with a few counters on an aerie , and shared triumph out .

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1337 on:** September 16, 2012, 11:50:31 AM »

True, he'd be a nice finisher.

I still think you want favorable winds instead of shared triumph though!

Siberius · « **Reply #1338 on:** September 16, 2012, 03:53:02 PM »

I misd playing. Every time I manage to get on there there is no one but Noibn and he's not even there...

I just keep making new decks!

Finlay · « **Reply #1339 on:** September 16, 2012, 04:48:58 PM »

I've been on twice today and no one was on! I can't go on when my son is awake.

Aye, I must apologize. My 8 year old son keeps hogging the computer and I keep forgetting to log out/away myself =P

When I do get on the comp again I've missed everyone =/

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1341 on:** September 16, 2012, 09:13:57 PM »

There's never anyone there when I go on either. And last time I played someone I didn't know, they sideboarded against me. Which took ages and was annoying.

Siberius · « **Reply #1342 on:** September 17, 2012, 12:43:02 AM »

We're useless at this! I need to get my brother wolfygreiss on there again. He plays like us...

Quickbeam · « **Reply #1343 on:** September 17, 2012, 12:48:47 AM »

I'd be on there all the time but poor internet bandwidth up here in the mountains makes it hard.....

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1344 on:** September 18, 2012, 08:49:22 AM »

We need to arrange times to play! I always get confused by time zone though.

Back to the preview cards... I like this effect, but 7 mana? Good luck not being dead by then.

This is mildly amusing. They bore your opponent to death, presumably.

But it won't happen unless you increase the rate of counter production.

Oh, there's a nearly-complete card list here:

Urgh. Boring Azorius are boring.

Finlay · « **Reply #1346 on:** September 18, 2012, 10:49:44 AM »

fireminds foresight is way overcosted i think.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1347 on:** September 18, 2012, 10:53:45 AM »

Yes.

Also, stop reprinting Cancel! It's lame. Counterspell!

There are only a couple of blue or white ghosts in the spoiler, and none of them fly. They are useless to me!

Hmmm, there's a 2/2 flying ghost for 3 mana. No thanks!

I like this though:

Izzet Staticaster
   1ur
Creature - Human Wizard    Uncommon
Flash (You may cast this spell any time you could play an instant.)
Haste
{T}: Izzet Staticaster deals 1 damage to target creature and each other creature with the same name as that creature.
Illus. Scott M. Fischer   0/3

BAWTRM · « **Reply #1348 on:** September 18, 2012, 12:18:58 PM »

So Firemind's Foresight has you spend 7 mana to get 3 cards with a combined manacost of 6? 2 Cards advantage granted but expensive on the mana front!

Finlay · « **Reply #1349 on:** September 18, 2012, 12:21:38 PM »

and if you have 7 mana out, cards with 1 cmc probably arent overly helpful
