    Hey, that's my pack! Sorry it wasn't better, but glad to see it opened! Hope to see y'all in Chicago again soon!

      Honestly in that draft format it wasn’t a bad pack at all which is a big part of what this show is. Above all big ups to you for sending it in, I would but I’m crippled by the thought of letting go of what could be inside

    Because of the MTGA drafting I can't think of this set as anything but "Ill-Gotten Inheritance" VS "Clear the Mind" VS "Persistent Petitioners".

    I think the card Graham was thinking of was Biogenic Upgrade, which I also initially thought he was talking about when he read off Applied Biomancy's name. A lot of Bio- names in the set with Simic.

    I love the flavor text on Concordia Pegasus as well. Especially since Graham was also digging on the Simic later.

    The "all mechanics are kicker or split cards" argument is funny, but it fundamentally misunderstands that in game design you just make logical rules. Logic has two basic operators. And and or.
    Kicker and split cards are the two most basic interpretations of and and or. It's just that simple. But most mechanics use and and or in some way. That's just because rules are a system of logic. It is inevitable that most mechanics are änd/or" mechanics because that's how game rules work
    So I understand you feel the need to push back gently against the notion. It's misleading.

    I maintain that putting a blue Grizzly Bears in MH3 as the last vanilla creature ever printed would've been hilarious.
    Also, let the Simic cook.

    Graham wins _Crack-a-Pack_ again;
    *Gate Collossus* is 1st pick, esp. if this is pack 1. Pack 2 you should also take, unless your path is SET and SPECIFIC.
    Pack 3....1st pick it if you suspect someone is ON gates already as a hate pull.

  • @markbrierley6367
    @markbrierley6367 3 месяца назад

    Scuttlegator was actually decent in any blue control deck and even some of the Simic go big decks. Dude hit like a truck when you got him going and stemming the aggro deck wasn't too difficult, but closing on it wasn't always easy. The format often went long. High alert decks not being able to attack, Dimir spinning it's wheels sometimes. It happened.
    Orzhov thrull masks tend to be one size fits all.
    That's not Ward. It's very relevant how different it is. Ward gets blown out by things being uncounterable. This doesn't let you cast it in the first place.

    I don’t think it’s a bad thing to compare mechanics to Kicker. The expression originally comes from R&D themselves about Kicker and Split Cards being essentially the most basic forms of “pay more for more” and “this mode or that mode”. They also don’t mean it literally that mechanics are “just” kicker.

    • @KingOfDoma
      @KingOfDoma 3 месяца назад +1

      Every mechanic is Kicker or Horsemanship.

    Someone check the Nickname episode for Allegiance. Was Growth-Chamber Guardian's nickname either Lucky Luciano or some variant on "you know I had to do it to em"? Because if not, we have failed as a community.
