More spoilers coming in... Terminate: Yep, it fits with the multicolor theme. Should have seen that coming. Primal Command: Hm, never used it myself. Doesn't seem that impressive. Harmonize: Eats an uncommon slot for draft-balancing crap. Oh well. Molten Rain: Not bad. Thragtusk: Good. Venser...

One insect dies and Stoneforge Mystic dies, barring further responses...

It resolves.

Here's the Tolarian Community College video that spoiled Goblin Guide. He always does the best videos for card spoilers.

Vanish Into Memory? The worst "you make the card" result ever? Modern isn't a format that I know very well, but this thing seems like it wouldn't be playable in Modern even if the last sentence of its rules text were excised. Huh. So far, it's been mostly great rares and dud uncommons.

Made it home! Let's see... UUD, Attack with Stoneforge Mystic, responses? Spiderman: 18 17? Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Forest x4 (T) Viridian Corrupter (2/2; Infect; When ~ ETB, destroy target artifact) Graveyard: Mutagenic Growth Exile...

While it's not practical for competitive play, a fun creature to use with Pandemonium is Saber Ants. Give those things some form of regeneration or make them indestructible for large-scale token generation. Or just cast a really big creature, hit the Ants with it, then hit your opponent's stuff...

Pandemonium also played a role in my "multiplayer fun deck." It was a dumb idea that I had back then and I know others have hit on the same concept. Use a bunch of cards to foment chaos and throw everyone off, with no real built-in way to actually win the game. The point of Pandemonium in that...

Weird thing for me is that I always take the train (well, two trains) to and from work. This morning, my train didn't show up because it broke down, and rather than waiting for the next one I got back in my car and took I-5 to work. So the one time I drive here, I find out that my return trip...

In theory, I'll be back home this evening to take my turn as usual. But we'll see how it goes.

I've already mentioned the period in which I had and used only cards from Prophecy and earlier even as newer sets were being released (I don't think that I actually acquired cards newer than Prophecy on my own until 2009 or 2010, but by that point my collection was mostly consolidated with my...

Goblin Assault: Another Alara-block card (probably doesn't mean much, but they sometimes focus more on drawing from certain sets for one of these reprint sets). Also, another goblin thing, which might be of interest: the last Masters set had an elf subtheme, and maybe they want to give goblins...

Np, n rspnss. Dmg rslvs.

Yes.

Pandemonium is in a weird spot. Its effect is very powerful, albeit symmetrical. The decks that are best-poised to exploit the effect are ones that use fast, high-power creatures, especially ones with haste. Pandemonium can clear blockers or just hit opponents directly, going for the kill. But...

To be clear, I don't want to downplay the concern point, because most of the discussion I've seen in other spaces has been surrounding that. Personally, I wasn't worried about it and never shared the concern, but I'm not a fan of the Modern format, even though I do like Modern Masters sets for...

I'll activate Stoneforge Mystic to drop a Bonehoard onto the battlefield, then attempt to block with the Germ token.

Didn't really think it mattered too much. It has been a sort of "controversy" in some places, but I think that for the most part cooler heads have prevailed. To the extent that there's an "issue" in the sense of a problem, I think it's mostly that Modern enthusiasts are concerned that WotC is...

It's still pretty early, but it looks like this set will have a much stronger multicolor theme going on than previous Masters sets. The presence of Griselbrand flies in the face of that, but it might be an exception. Perhaps the set is trying to go for angels and demons as a bit of a subtheme...

I don't know how many people here have caught it, but lately the Magic interwebz have been abuzz with speculation regarding Modern Masters 2017, as WotC announced its existence and release date, but curiously went silent on the set after that, eventually publishing the packaging art at the same...
