Innistrad Remastered Previews || TTC Ep533

[@Bexahlia5933]

have some engagement it occurred to me a while ago that you could potentially do a silver bordered fnpf to celebrate getting the silver play button for 100k

[@robertabugelis3962]

Hey 🎉 I didn't realize they passed 100k! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for your algo post

[@sokkyu]

I really hope they're able to get MaRo the next time a silver border product drops

[@MommaGart]

"What if you draft a Jace, or a Corki, or a Heimerdinger?" GOOD JOKE NELSON heeheeheehee I love splicing onto Arcane.

[@mathewsloat6848]

It got me so good! I was wondering how the heck Jace interacted with Arcane spells!

[@aisling_commoddities]

The Emrakul art for Through the Breach isn't new, it's from Ultimate Masters. And yes, Nahiri called her there originally as revenge against Sorin

[@CSDragon]

the thing with the Eldritch Moon werewolves is that they are already permanently in werewolf form on their front face, and then their back face is in eldrazi transformation. normal werewolves have a human side

[@IRFine]

5:45 The Tombstone is on one version of Arclight Phoenix, which is super funny

[@aisling_commoddities]

There are indeed no Midnight Hunt block Daybound werewolves in INR. A huge success, if you ask me.

[@fundude365]

Astonishingly, Day/Night bound is at 6 on the storm scale for likeliness to return. 5 for Innistrad. I find this wild, because Day/Night bound only works in MTGO or Arena. Anything where players have to keep track is an immediate shit-show because someone will _always_ forget. I hate having to chase up emails and recreate events at my job. I don't want to have to do it in my leisure time 😅

[@reccaman]

L take

[@toml8866]

Pretty disappointed that they didn't print the in-universe Rick, Steadfast Leader (Greymond)who is on Innistrad and in desperate need of a real reprint

[@runic-scribe]

The retro-frame/tombstone discussion piqued my curiosity, so I did a dive into Scryfall and found a wonderfully terrible formatting choice in the old-border Covetous Castaway, which has both the Tombstone and Double-faced indicators due to having Disturb

[@jimhawking11]

Shoutout for SpiderWeb Software and Exile III reference.

[@skuddstevens]

For some reason "Farewell to Innistrad" just makes me think of the TNG episode "The Big Goodbye," and given the black and white cards from our last visit to Innistrad, and the fact that we just got "Ravnica but with 1940s detectives," I can't help but expect the next Innistrad set to just straight up be a noir thriller.

[@harrow9389]

I'm sorry... and Arcane reference in my 2025 Tap Tap Concede. Wow, we're getting fed well this year.

[@pinballwitch5256]

"Hermit Druid, from Dominaria." I'm sorry Nelson, Hermit Druid is from Rath

[@Scud422]

Because Foundations had a lot of big creatures that you wanted to grab for the Omniscience draft, Garruk's Uprising was a real powerhouse of a card.

[@markbrierley6367]

More engagement! Cam kinda has a point about never going back to Innistrad. With the ability to leave the plane who the heck would stay?

[@michaelhuerta7469]

ah necromancers hello

[@markbrierley6367]

@michaelhuerta7469 they two we like already left

[@shafer.stromwall]

Shoutout to the Avernum games from Spiderweb! Gaming on a Mac back then was a little challenging, we took what options we had.

[@HellfireKitten25]

I remember buying a disc from them with all 5 Geneforge games (there might be more now, I’m not sure). At the time, that significantly expanded my Macbook’s gaming library.

[@gedtheflayer]

Spiderweb Software is still going strong! There are remastered versions of Avernum and Geneforge that still look like charming early 2000's CRPGs, but with some streamlined interface and systems that make them play a bit smoother. Plus new games, and now they're all on Steam and app stores.

[@estebanrodriguez5409]

They hold up

[@FanOfMostEverything]

Still annoyed that none of the blue cards got poster treatments. Surely Necroduality could have worked.

[@Davlen]

Glad you guys hit 100K.

[@Jay-yr9oi]

I believe Melissa DeTora said there were no Daybound/Nightbound werewolves in the set when she was talking with Blake, but I could be remembering wrong.

[@UnEn666]

Engagement need detected. Engagement need fulfilled. Algorithm, be pleased.

[@TheIrishJackel]

I still wish it had just been an ISD/DKA/AVR combined remaster set. As a Limited only player, I really just wish this product line had stuck with the TSR design philosophy.

[@DaMullet]

The Hinterland Logger, lighter than the Hinterland Stout.

[@tzaandor]

Headstone rules, whenever cards with flashback don't have it I feel weird.

[@InvadedOath]

17:27 I for one am looking forward to sadness

[@chriswr_]

Retro frame Delver, cool full art Thraben Inspector, and some downshifts that probably won't see any play. Pauper players are THRIVING

[@BenjaminKlahn]

@44:44 That creature GRINS haste actually.

[@faerievandal]

Omni drafts are a fascinating environment, my first foundations Omni draft I had a deck with three copies of progenitus and as many copies of Involuntary Employment as I could get (I think six) and on my second try I ended up with 39 nonlands cards at the end of the draft

[@trotskysrevenge]

congratulations on 100k, have some engagement. innistrad remastered looks really cool!

[@CeltiesSin]

Where are yall getting previews? Mythic spoiler hasn’t updated for me since nov.1 🤔

[@oxyfromsg]

As someone that started playing Magic in the 90`s then went away, I am looking forward to playing some Innistrad for the first time.

[@Frankenstein3r]

Craterhoof isn't in the main set, just collector boosties, also the old border dredge cards and prize amalgam have the tombstone

[@ChiralWolf]

Fun fact: if griselbrand was only 7 mana instead of 8 it would have never become the lynchpin of the modern "Neobrand" deck where you cast an Allosaurus Rider (a 7 mana creature from ice age) for free and then target it with Neoform to find an 8 mana creature. It's probably in part why atraxa is 7 mana so that it can't be cheesed out with Neoform in the same way.

[@janmelantu7490]

for those wondering, as of currently, the church of Avacyn is currently being rebuilt by Thalia, Odric, and Sigarda and her host

[@Mother_boards]

It's not that big of a deal really, but it bothers me A LOT when Cameron speaks directly away from the microphone every other sentence, making him fluctuate wildly in volume

[@michaelhuffman774]

LOL Gram knows all about the Hermit Druid!!!

[@bensoloist]

I did an Omni draft that I got an “I win now” card in Consuming aberration which mills target opponent until they hit a land. 😅#onlyinommidraft

[@EffinChat]

I know this isnt fhs meat and potatoes of the episode but I had a lot of games in Omnidraft Foundations that were won and lost to Macabre Waltz loops, either ny getting back cantrip creatures or by closing out the game with the zombie that drains for 2 if you can exile a creature from a graveyard

[@jacobkristos1214]

If they would just errata daybound/nightbound...i know it would be another set of cards were reading the card does not explain the card but then maybe they could be real cards again

[@BigPogger]

I’m excited for the downshifts of gisa’s bidding and bound by moonsilver

[@lightfut]

Sounds like Graham was playing ocarina of time randomizer and found an ice trap You FOOL! Yes, gdq just happened why do you ask

[@aaron9797]

we need to go to innistrad at least one more time for the nightmare before solstice

[@iatebambismom]

I had thought that, After all the wild west cosplay and sylvanian families stuff (feels like universes beyond within their own universe. Weird LARP stuff) I had given up on any new MTG content. Then they go and make Innistrad Remastered... Damn them!

[@jgmweston]

I liked Day/Night but I also only play on Arena. 😅

[@Manny_lol]

Comments for the comments section! Engagement for the Algorithm!

[@crom6573]

No daybound 🎉

[@Wreckonning]

A Texas Medium = Tedium

[@SK-mu7ok]

idk why i pre-ordered this set but oh well..

[@elliotthunter7959]

Is Nelson cosplaying as the Kingpin?

[@HerpinThaDerp]

lol i think spiderweb is still software-ing

[@markbrierley6367]

Moar engagement! That Avacyn art looks absolutely horrible. And the other similar art styles are pretty bad too.

[@Trevante32]

I really like the art on the new alt full art cards that look like movie posters and stuff but i think they look awful for actual cards. Like them as a full print amazing but them as my trading card i dislike so much. Especially when they dont have the rules text onto them.

[@Thavleifrim]

honestly I do hope this is the last time we see Innistrad for a long time, It's a cool plane but it's been over used and especially with the midnight hunt/crimson vow sets it was just too much innistrad at a time when so many other cool planes were getting introduced and then abandoned immediately after only one set. it's not innistrads "fault" as such but it left a real bad taste.

[@jcblacksmith]

Comment REMASTERED

[@markbrierley6367]

Oh Innistrad. Remember when Wizards put effort into building their worlds that are just tropes?

[@Azeria]

Innistrad is one of the planes in Magic _most_ based on tropes, like what, maybe Eldraine and Thunder Junction are tropier but Innistrad is basically all tropes

[@heavenlyevan]

Of all the planes, Innistrad????

[@markbrierley6367]

@Azeria right, but they build atop the tropes on Innistrad. Interesting characters like Thalia or Gisa. Interesting stories like Liliana becoming a hero or a vampire bloodline wedding or the plane's guardians becoming corrupted being the lesser of the two concurrent threats. There's effort after pulling the tropes together unlike Eldraine, Archavios, Thunder Junction, Duskmourn, etc.

[@Azeria]

@@markbrierley6367 I’m hardly surprised the plane with seven sets is better fleshed out than the planes with one or two. Duskmourn is a terrible example for you to choose too, that was a very well fleshed out world that had many novel takes on the tropes it was based on, a couple of draft chaff commons with bad flavour text doesn’t undermine that, and lord knows Innistrad has had plenty of those too in its time.

[@markbrierley6367]

@Azeria the extra sets argument is fair in that those stories are from returns to the plane and most of the ones I mentioned are first time visits. But I completely disagree with your Duskmourn take. There are plenty of obstacles in Duskmourn, but none of them are particularly novel, which isn't surprising since haunted house stories have been popular since before 1001 Arabian Nights, though that has one of the earliest surviving stories. Duskmourn is basically Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey in the laziness and juxtaposition of idea potential and execution. And I do want to point out that I'm not putting value judgments here. I don't happen to like Innistrad, but I recognize the extra effort at storytelling. Same deal with Duskmourn; I'm not tying reception to originality or extensions from such. And they do hit home runs (or at least ground rule doubles) in first-time visits. Llorwyn was quite good, and while we have been there for 4 sets, only 2 were on each side of the Great Aurora and most of the best story is in the novels. Amonkhet built on its tropes on the first visit. Rath was great despite much of the story focusing on planar visitors.

[@chriscox8237]

@lrrmtg congrats on 100k
