Commentary on Etali, I feel so seen... Short story: Played GR aggro elves with Etali at top of curve (FNM draft). Only cast it once, attacked and... 2 lands off the top of our libraries. 😑 Luckily I had a dragon trainer, which was the actual finisher in the deck. Went 3-0, which makes up for all my 2-3 premier drafts on arena (every single stinking foundations draft so far, also 😑).

1:02:16 well akshually the first version of the rules had both players draw on their first turn, the person going first skipping their first draw was added in a few years later.

Via the discussion of Drakuseth, Maw of Flames.... I have to say, I think discussing mana cost in the evaluation of the card is not taking into account the game state when a 7 mana creature will be dropped. Drakuseth will be dropped late game and anyone adding it in will know its a late game drop. So thats an issue, but also arguing 'you drop this for 7 mana and your opponent kills it for 3' doesnt matter at that stage of the game because youre both likely top decking at that point. Late game, mana value doesnt matter. all that matters is what you can top deck. Albeit if youre playing against a draw engine control, then sure, youre fucked. so its still niche. but I dont like the 'mana cost vs mana cost' comparison here. theres more nuance

"If you attack, they just don't block, and the Morbid does nothing. It's just power and toughness without an ability." So, looked at another way, it's an ability that makes all your other creatures unblockable? After all, if your opponent is scared enough of Morbid to not trade with your creatures, then those creatures may as well be unblockable.

Marshall's comment on Squad Rallier explains why he's not really seeing the vision yet. It's actually not super likely that you'll be able to play the creature you find with just 2 mana. It's basically 50/50. The reason it's so nice in this format is that because 2 power is such a common trait even for many of the more expensive creatures that provide you additional power in other ways, like #1 white common Dazzling Angel, Felidar Savior (which gives you 4 power of stats, but only 2 on the card itself), Prideful Parent, Snarespinner, Billowing Shriekmass, etc.

@@eckology016 Card advantage is also just very hard to come by in this set. We've gone so long having sets where there's constant mana sinks and card draw, but Foundations has comparatively little outside of blue. The Rallier is pretty expensive repeatable card advantage that you wouldn't have the time or incentive to pay in basically any other set. But Foundations is slow, without much to do with your mana, and without much inherent card advantage from just playing out your normal game plan, so a sink like the Rallier actually has time to shine.

My main issue with the set is that this season is extremely long. There are 12 more weeks with this set until the next one. that's a ridiculous amount of weeks for a core-set, especially with Duskmourn being only 7-8 weeks which was very short. The set is fun but it has pretty low replay-ability, I've done about 10 drafts on arena and not seeing myself doing anymore, usually I do 30-50 drafts. It will get boring very quickly and we're planning a various of sets in our local league to spice up this way too long season...
@JohnGarner-d7i 2 күн бұрын
I mean I just disagree solely on the fact that I want more time with each set and less sets overall. This format may not be as flashy as of the more recent sets and so may feel more boring. It is a more slow and controlling set so I do get nit everyone enjoys that.

Had Drakuseth in one of my first drafts, actually had a good time with it as my deck was just a WR good-stuff deck with a lot of solid creatures on a good curve and a lot of lifegain and efficient removal. It was good there, as the deck did want something that could go over the top if needed. Still agree that it isn't a high pick of amazing card, though. That deck also had a Sire of Seven Deaths that I picked up early.. so I was already drafting a deck that could go late, which worked out.

@benjaminbarbaro6040 you're watching Limited Resources so you understand mana advantage. This is similar. He gave up any of his other potential tutor targets and a creature on board to kill another creature on board and never has the chance to draw the Eaten Alive in future and not spend board presence to cast it. He spent 2 cards to answer 1 card. I agree it was useful, but it was very inefficient.

I didnt really follow the vintage cube tournament but I got a question. When Marshall was referring that he would change the qualifying method, was he referring to the father son duo that made it? Im not pointing fingers as I don’t really know as an outsider looking in, but it seems like if it’s online its unverifiable who’s actually sitting down at the computer. Seems like it has potential just for someone to double on seats?

I’m unfamiliar with the context, but he’s at the very least suggesting the possibility. Based on what he said, I assume he’s mostly referring to the concept of a group of co-conspirators simultaneously entering the same draft queue, which would enable them to manipulate one or more players’ final cardpools and end up with a deck that is more powerful than the average competition.
@Hanslineman 3 күн бұрын
@ Yea I mean im fairly certain he’s talking about the father/son duo in the top 8. Perhaps others but that would make the most sense. I agree it’s strange for two family members to both make it into the top 8 when so many other very very good players did not, but even airing out that insinuation seems a bit much without some evidence.

I've found that Crackling Cyclops is one of the foundational cards in U/R-I want 2 or 3 of them. The good news is that you can generally count on these to wheel, so you don't have to pick them high at all. It's _very_ good with Think Twice. You're also wanting about 9 or 10 non-creature spells. That's also something worth noting-it's not just instants or sorceries, but _any_ non-creature spell. I actually really love that the U/R archetype isn't just instants/sorceries anymore-this feels more flavorful and it's much more flexible
