Gathering some Magics

Aside from trolling Juan, Idler's comment made me realize that DKA is on Gatherer now. Which means it's probably going to show up on cockatrice in a day or so. :3

Idler · 2012-01-26 18:46:43

It's on Gatherer? Awesome!

-rushes to see humorous comments-

Gelzo · 2012-01-26 19:06:44

I already left a couple, but it seems empty so far.

Go look at Black Cat and Sanctuary Cat.

Idler · 2012-01-26 19:08:40

Heh.

Black Cat is the most adorable little abomination against nature ever.

Haven · 2012-01-26 19:12:24

Now if only they'd printed another vampire cat.

Idler · 2012-01-26 19:13:30

And another cat spirit.

Lunate · 2012-01-26 19:16:17

Spectral Lynx has been a cat spirit since the creature type overhaul.

Edit: Also, Phantom Nishoba and Phantom Tiger.

Idler · 2012-01-26 19:22:25

I'm amused by the fact that Sanctuary Cat gets a boost from Raksha Golden Cub.

Gelzo · 2012-01-26 19:26:46

Makes about as much sense as wolves and werewolves giving each other boosts, eh?

Hmm... Now I kind of wish Innistrad hounds and humans had similar synergy. Well I guess we did see Thraben Purebloods.

"Lilliputians? I keep hoping for a fanfic where Gulliver goes to Equestria and becomes convinced that it's a utopia of pure reason and humans are beasts."

He might be disappointed when half the population-freaks-the-hell-out over somepony leaving a pie in the oven for too long, and some think that's a subtle hint that there friends are abandoning them.

Haven · 2012-01-26 19:34:12

Well, Black Cat's cuter than the first Zombie Cat, anyway.

Idler · 2012-01-26 19:42:36

Wolves and werewolves boosting each other isn't that illogical, since werewolves, while transformed, are basically just stronger and more savage versions of regular wolves.

Y'know, we still haven't got a headless horseman in this block yet.

Obā-san · 2012-01-26 20:12:33

What on earth....

Bunny · 2012-01-26 20:15:06

Incidentally, according to an official judge ruling, taking off your pants is an instant action.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-26 20:18:16

That is the best thing.

But I thought you weren't allowed to use Unhinged/Unglued cards in tournament play?

Idler · 2012-01-26 20:19:13

^^ In other words, Magic players are sluts.

Bunny · 2012-01-26 20:20:01

It was a release tourney for Unglued.

Kind of hard to have a tourney for a set if it's banned in that tourney.

Idler · 2012-01-26 20:23:38

Another great ruling, quoted verbatim from the Gatherer rulings for Lion's Eye Diamond:

The
ability is a mana ability, so it is activated and resolves as a mana
ability, but it can only be activated at times when you can cast an
Instant. Yes, this is a bit weird.

Obā-san · 2012-01-26 20:24:14

^^^Of course, Bunny plays it, and I want to. ;3

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-26 20:24:57

has anyone here ever drawn the same card four times in a row?

Because I just used Train of Thought to draw Train of Thought, then paid the recast cost twice and drew Train of Thought and Train of Thought.

My Train of Thought seems to be going in circles.

Gelzo · 2012-01-26 20:41:40

Wait, what's an instant action? Like a spell or ability that can be played when you could play an instant? Does taking off your pants use the stack?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-26 21:10:45

I just won a game by replicating Pyromatics a bunch of times.

I feel cheap.

Haven · 2012-01-26 21:20:01

Heh heh, combining Elesh Norn and Vish Kal is never gonna be not awesome.

Does taking off your pants use the stack?

I think the ruling was that it was faster than a mana ability.

Idler · 2012-01-26 21:25:26

"I'll have my pants off faster than a Llanowar Elves can tap, baby".

Interesting that the bulk of the discard outlets lately seem to be red.

Haven · 2012-01-26 21:30:16

According to the card-by-card article, looting is going to be moving into red more. So that's probably going to be a continuing trend.

Idler · 2012-01-26 21:31:18

Mmm, I knew about that, but the other colours didn't really seem to get much to help their own discarding needs. Blue still has its looters, I guess.

Faithless Looting is a really awesome card; there's so much it enables.

Gelzo · 2012-01-26 21:40:23

Looting does make a little more sense in red than blue the more you think about it, I think. Not that it's really out of place in blue, though.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-26 21:41:39

Well, when phrased as "looting" it does.

I STEAL YOUR STUFF.

I STEAL IT ALL.

Idler · 2012-01-26 21:45:15

It's nice to see red being made a bit more versatile.

I also notice that white seems to have added 'turning stuff into cantrips" to its section of the colour pie lately.

Haven · 2012-01-26 21:47:38

I am suddenly struck by the derpiness of giving Immerwolf intimidate. I guess the ability it gives werewolves was considered good enough that it was fair to give it a subpar personal ability.

Idler · 2012-01-26 21:53:14

Intimidate still seems a little silly to me. Apparently Reaper from the Abyss is frightened of a wolf.

Gelzo · 2012-01-26 23:03:17

People are freaked out by spiders all the time, and that arguably makes less sense in a non-magical setting.

Viani · 2012-01-27 00:47:35

Is there any kind of being that MTG doesn't cover on it's type library?

Haven · 2012-01-27 00:49:03

Just this guy, I think.

Idler · 2012-01-27 00:49:48

I like how he was originally printed with the creature type of "Nameless Race".

Viani · 2012-01-27 00:50:18

Creature - Zuko

lololololavatar

Idler · 2012-01-27 00:51:50

I wonder if we'll see the Surrakar again. They only got four cards.

millercross · 2012-01-27 00:59:05

I can only think of three, which is the other one?

Idler · 2012-01-27 01:00:43

Shoreline Salvager is the only one that doesn't have Surrakar in its name.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-27 01:08:08

I want more Weirds.

contradictory elementals <3

Viani · 2012-01-27 01:14:03

Scottish Korean Elemental

Idler · 2012-01-27 01:17:23

I like Weirds too. There are only like four of them.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-27 01:30:44

Three proper cards and the tokens made by Thunderheads if I recall.

Viani · 2012-01-27 01:34:38

Needs more sharks.

Preferably awesome 5U 5/5 Trample Doublestrike ones with protection from White and Humans.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-27 01:36:49

Would you all appreciate it if I made a fakecard called Combination Death-Shark/Blood-Eagle?

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-27 01:38:33

Idler · 2012-01-27 01:39:21

Globe: Will it be a Weird?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-27 01:41:07

SURE

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-27 01:55:18

okay no it won't, I lied.

problem?
