      It also had the most abysmal quality control I've ever seen for a printed product to come out of WOTC. I drafted multiple boxes with friends, and every single pack we ripped had smeared ink, weird color grading, print artifacts and aberrations, or miscuts/misprints.
      And all of this is to say nothing of the curling. My goodness, I had a draft deck that I could barely sleeve. Had this been an a sanctioned event, I wouldn't have been able to register some of these decks without getting flagged for marking my cards.

      One of the reasons they've decided that -1/-1 counters make for bad environments, I think (along with the fact that they don't like +1 and -1 counters to co-exist, and +1s have become a core part of how they balance a lot of cards in some colors)

    @ToxicAtom 2 года назад +3

    The monuments are great in commander decks focused on a lot of creatures that happen to share a color, even if the deck itself is more than that one color (Spider Tribal, maybe?). The cost reduction is what makes them wild, whatever other text they have is just a bonus at that point.

    • @bossgoji
      @bossgoji 2 года назад

      Oketra's Monument and Bontu's Monument are especially fantastic in Orzhov creature decks. It's not uncommon to get a little choked on mana in that color identity and those discounting your creatures and giving you upside helps a ton. Nothing says 'I'm about to run away with this game if I am not stopped immediately' like casting Elenda for 2 mana and having both of those triggers hanging around.

    I understand that Amonkhet is a deeply medium/unexciting set, but it holds a special place in my heart. One, because I loved Ancient Egypt as a kid; two, because it's the set that brought me back to Magic; and three, because that's my first contact with Friday Nights and LRR by extension!
