How dare you cut the 30 seconds where Seth has to figure out how to cast a Chalice of the Void while there's a Trinisphere in play. I wanted to see his reaction to the bizarre form you have to fill out to do that.
@Oxygen1004Ай бұрын
12:30 On both online clients, when a card without a text box gains something that would add to a text box, it gains a text box to show this change. As MODO doesn't have a UI overlay to show ownership like arena does, it instead places it in the text box for when control and ownership aren't the same. This is the reason why it has a text box, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
@jackl8025Ай бұрын
it gained text ("Owned by Saffron Olive") and MTGO needed a way to display that, so it gave The One Ring a textbox

This furthers my opinion that symmetrical lock pieces are the best/most fair way to do things. Karn TGC, while I think Seth's hatred/fear/etc is mostly unfounded, I think does show the problem, quite succinctly, with how bad one-sided lock pieces are. It's not obviously game-winning and when it doesn't matter it's pretty bad, but also draws out the game in a bad way even when it does matter.
@logansmall514810 күн бұрын
The biggest problem with Karn are formats with Mycosynth Lattice. That card stops everyone but the Karn owner from doing anything but attacking/blocking with whatever creatures they have in play, and can be easily cheated into play very early in a game. It really should be errated to not stop you from tapping lands for mana so you can at least do something instead of sitting around while the Karn player dirdles.

@@JulioDRai restricting to 1 copy has nothing to do with making it harder to find, although that is an ancillary benefit. It’s actually about removing the play pattern of easily chaining Rings together to subvert the design of the card (progressive damage). The current play pattern of getting the ring up to like 4 counters, which means you’ve drawn 10 cards from it, then playing another Ring, which you have because you’ve drawn an extra 10 cards, so you don’t lose 5 life is the problem. It’s against the spirit of the card. It’s supposed to be hard to remove (indestructible) and progressively does damage to you (flavor design).

interesting to not just play the trinisphere on 2 when opponent was tapped out and had only 1 land in play. You would have completely locked them, and it would be just as good as chalice against a 1-drop and better against a 2-drop, when they only had 2 lands. Plus you just used your mana less efficiently. can you explain what went into decision to cast chalice?

"do something about the price of the one ring" ban it? Is there any reason to keep it? Is there an archtype it is allowing/preventing that would be bad for the format?
@starcrossedotherАй бұрын
Honestly that’s why The One Ring needs a ban. It doesn’t enable a specific archetype but instead it’s so good the card can be slotted into any deck. The value that the card generates and the built in protection makes it an include in everything which, in turn, is why it’s so expensive; nearly all the tier one Modern decks run multiple copies.
@Chpow01Ай бұрын
@@starcrossedother Yeah, that is what I was thinking. My only question was if it was preventing a boogey man archtype from being played. I honestly don't keep up with the meta, so for all I know it could have been preventing something like Mirrodin level affinity from being played. If it is just an auto include, the format does not need it... It also can never be reprinted, as it is a universes beyond card, as I am pretty sure that even if they do a reprint with "counts as the one ring for deck building purposes" they would have to pay *something* for simply using those words again.

Question: Why Through the Breach instead of Sneak Attack? One is a one time sorcery and the other is a repeatable enchantment. For a one time use they cost the same, but the potential for sneak to work multiple turns is higher, it also gives something your opponents need to deal with after you use it once. Since after casting it, you get to hold priority to drop a creature first before they can remove it, it makes it better, don't you think?
