Still dubious about 5 loyalty abilities but if they cheat around it by including three-in-one, as gcowhsu suggested, it might work.quote:
I want wizards to actually either do away with mythic rarity or to actually print cards that fit it. The leader of all werewolves would fit nicely as a mythic, while something like Batterskull makes no sense at all.
Mythic is here to stay and it will always be hit or myth. Flavorwise Batterskull doesn't really feel mythic to me either but it would have helped if it had been Legendary and had a more legendary name. As for power level, it definitely works as a mythic at that power level. Can you imagine it at Rare? I can't, it would be insane.

Only time power level and rarity matter is with drafting.It being Rare doesn't mean anything because you could argue Mental Misstep and Dismember, both uncommons, do more powerful things than Batterskull

To be fair, they also make ridiculous rares and uselessly bad mythics ( for limited) Drana, Sunblast Angel, Contagion Engine... ridiculous Time Reversal, Progenitus, Praetor's Council, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Mox Opal... not so hot I think they do a decently good job with the mythics. The fact that magic has a limited format kind of excuses how gimmicky the whole concept is...

So getting a free box of magic. What should I get?M12 or New Phyrexia? (or even besieged or Scars) I'm thinking M12. NPH has come down a lot from its highs even if its got a ton of good uncommon. Lots of m12 rares seem to be heading up and are part of some cool decks, and really only has 3 dude mythics (Time Reversal being really bad) since people still like the Titans.

i would still go with new phyrexia. m12 just has an all around low value level, with the majority of it in mythics, while NPH has it in the uncommons AND mythics.

whichever one you can sell locally for ~$90 unopened. Opening boxes typically is poor return. I'd rather sell it to someone and buy singles.

I still have a memory of when I won 12 Zendikar packs, I opened 3 and out came a fetchland. I should've sold the rest or traded them. but I opened them up and guess what!? I got nothing above a buck. o well, I guess the excitement of not knowing what's coming was nice. ~Myy

my issue is that excitement only lasts for a minute where a decent rare lasts for quite some time. I traded 3 packs of M12 for a phyrexian metamorph and a phyrexian arena... guy opened a solemn simulacrum so I offered to trade for it. He turned me down, but I wasn't mad that I didn't open the packs, I just realized he got lucky because most of the rares in the set are worth less then what I got.

I think he got lucky when he turned down your trade. Watching noobs trade for packs, just to trade away the only good cards they open for more packs......winning!!!

oh, nah... I was offering to trade cards for the simulacrum since I actually needed one at the time to complete a playset. It would have been funny to offer more packs though.

At least draft if you open packs, bad rares can be bombs which win you stuff

*sigh* what's the point of drafting cards like Enslave and Skinrender when I do not draw them

My two roommates and I were all playing an EDH game:R#1: Destroy your two creatures, attack you. R#2: Play Living Death. R#1: In response, I'll destroy both of my creatures, so I can get them back. {We all get our creatures back, including my Spellskite, Nezumi Graverobber and Phyrexian Metamorph, which copied #1's Sun Titan) R#2: Play Stingscourger, return #1's Sun Titan to his hand, sacrifice (and tap out) to sacrifice a Goblin token to Siege-Gang Commander, to kill #1's other creatures, attack for 15 (bringing him to 18). Pay 2 life (going to 12) to Necropotence, go. Me: INSURRECTION. #2: "Is that for real? That's really happening?!" I take all of #2's creatures and attack #1 for 18 and #2 for 12. I have *exactly* thirty damage to divide between the two of them. I win.

just to clarify, if the metamorph is coming back from the living death then it cannot copy a sun titan also coming back from living death as they enter play at the same time and you need to choose what to copy prior to them entering play. Did you cheat? ;p

Its okay, still have someone in thiis neck of the woods that swears up and down he called wizards so it HAS to work. He tooth and nails up clone + whatever and then tries to clone the whatever. He also saw my warp deck... and copies everything I've done in EDH... but came up with his warp world deck on all on his own! He'll warp world into clone creatures and then try and copy other creatures that came in with warp world. He got really mad one day when I kept pointing out all the ways he was cheating.

So I haven't been following legacy too closely lately. The only thing I hear about the format is show and tell and natural order need to get banned. Any truth to this or is this just because of the last few SCG's.

I think the only ban worthy card now is mental mistake...i mean, misstep.

Whining about Natural Order is flavor of the month (last month was Hive Mind).
