Hey magic peeps, i have a question for the more experienced players.
So I understand how color enforcement works in theory. If I'm running a blue/green deck, a card which costs UU is going to be harder for me to cast than a card that cost 1U because of how the lands will probably come up and all - especially during the early game.
Now MaRo claims the invoke cycle in KND was supposed to be the equivalent of color locked ultimatums. (can't paste picture, but every 1 of them has a cost of 1 generic and 4 colors of mana)
I was debating with a friend over whether there is a point color enforcement becomes meaningless. That by the time I reached 5 mana in a lot of decks my duals and color fixing artifacts will make it just as easy to cast an invoke as getting up to 8 and casting grislebrand.
Was curious about your experiences and if you think there's a point the mana requirements become largely pointless? (assuming you have optimized mana base and aren't a cheapo like me with a lot of slow duals)

Yeah, they are kind of trivial to cast on turn 5 even with clunky (previous) standard mana bases. I've played a grixis invoke tribal deck (mostly the red one, but also despair) and between pathways, slow lands, the grixis triome, and treasure tokens you almost always got to cast it by turn 6 if you hit your land drops. There's also the lorehold reanimator deck which if the other parts of the combo are in place almost always shits out a 9/9 hastey lorehold on turn 5 in spite of being a white control deck that has to lean on red for removal and card draw/discard/ramp.

Yes. Basically he was a young wizard on the ship when they went to Rath, and while the gang broke in to save Hannah (I believe) he stayed back near the portal to figure out how it works and if he could open it again. He figured that out and it's shown on his Exodus card with the portal in the background, but when the ship got there it was fleeing at full speed and he couldn't get on it before it escaped.
He ends up in the stronghold and makes friends with Belbe who is the daughter of Eldamri that was killed by her husband, who was turned into a phyrexian assassin after being tortured and broken, and then she was turned into a phyrexian droid to select the new Evincar of Rath because Volrath was off being gay somewhere on Mercadia. She ends up falling in love with Ertai and he falls in love with her, shit happens, she dies, Ertai gets super raped, and is later killed by Squee in Invasion in a retarded way.

Oh btw, some cards are out now for the Disney challenger to Magic.

Never really got the point of all this IP crossover other than "This will definitely print money for us!" but hey, maybe the Warhammer stuff will allow them to experiment with new mechanics or something.

Apparently, Urza's wife got race-swapped, in the upcoming set:
Hurkyl also got race-swapped, in the opposite direction for some reason. And her tattoos have also gone MIA:

On the one hand these cards are kind of poop, but on the other hand Starscream making someone else the monarch and then stealing it is quality content

While we wanted to share some of the experience, we also reinterpreted this product with a modern approach. We wanted to be nostalgic, but not everything met our modern standards. So, we removed six cards completely. The cards removed are:
- Contract from Below
- Darkpact
- Demonic Attorney
- Earthbind
- Weakness
- Crusade

Well it's obvious who they like, and it's certainly not the players.

> "Each display of 30th Anniversary Edition will contain four packs of pure nostalgia..."
They are out of their fucking minds. Double Masters was already absurd at $300 for 4 packs, this is over 3x the price for cards that can't even be played legally in any format and have a horrendously ugly backing.
When Alpha packs were originally released in '93, they were $2 a pack. 30 years later, accounting for inflation, that would be ~$4.10 a pack. These cards are $250 a pack, 60x their cost accounting for inflation and they don't even have the official MtG backing.
What a fucking joke - they talk about returning to their roots, but this obscene price point locks out 99% of the true day-1 magic fans and is only a celebration for those who have an extra grand to throw around on cardboard in the middle of a recession. WokeC continues to tarnish my favorite game and there's no end in sight for Hasbruh's greed.

The reason the company is doing this is that it's a recession. They're trying to milk up as much money from retards as they can to shore up the inevitable write-offs and losses to come, and so long as the iron is hot, they're going to keep churning out absolutely insanely overpriced nonsense.
And it's going to continue to make them absurd amounts of money. I fully support them milking the whales fucking dry, while I continue to be able to enjoy getting lots of jank for bulk prices because so much of it is opened and discarded by said whales.

I can almost smell the reserve list guys' tears from here.
What also bugs me, are the 6 cards removed.
3 relate to ante. Ugh, it bugs my OCD (and urge for it to be historically accurate) but the other 3...
Yeah we all know for WotC anything Christian is harem now.
Ummm.... I guess they discriminate against S&M fans now? Way to kink shame WotC.
I have no idea why this was removed.

He has cripple arms, possibly cause he looks black. But I'm guessing it's the cripple hands combined with the card name.

Why though? Do they not understand Arabs aren't black?
So you can buy boosters of proxies for 1k$, why? This is just a retarded product and anyone who buys this has mental illness.They did it. The motherfuckers pulled off troll move of the year.

Oh, and fuck them when Earthbind isn't printable because it's too sexual but Bearscape is encouraged. I'm starting to hate gay people.
Weakness confuses me but they're probably always searching for new retarded shit to complain about, my guess is this:
But if that's the case, why? That's literally a depiction of physical weakness.

Lol imagine continuing to let WOTC use Hasbro as a shield.
Edit :
This is the current President of WOTC, do you really think she is the sort to "Stand up for the customers" and tell Hasbro "No we won't overcharge our customers in an economic downturn"
