Future sight - Psychatog does not work...

It stems from the DISCARDING...

To be able to discard a card it has to be in your hand...

 

[Mikeymike]

Train is correct, Future Sight's "play as though it were in your hand" basically only means "cast as though it were in your hand"

 

[train]

You could do this though...

G/B/U...

Psychatog - Hermit Druid...

Run only nonbasic lands - 4 druids and 4 togs, and an early kill seems more possible...

I have great ideas on manipulating Blue - but it's so wrong... it's not right to play them!...

"And I don't play Blue anyway..."

 

[13NoVa]

damn... well thanks for clearing that up. it sucks that you can only "cast as if it were in your hand". you could just ABUSE some of the cards out there if it were the other way.

That was probably discovered really early in Magic Rules Development...

Only a few cards slip through the cracks anymore...

*Cough* Mind's Desire *Cough* Wonder *Cough again* Fact or Fiction.

And what do these 3 cards have in common? Hmmm.

hm i know i know!

whats the prise again!?

*jepardy theme plays*



What is....Abusive cards?

 

[Spiderman]

Wonder? Surely you jest....

*Cough* Mind's Desire *Cough* Wonder *Cough again* Fact or Fiction.

Never heard of them...

Actually - since Saga - the crack has shrunk through which broken cards fall...


I will say that the ones that do fall are definitely BLUE!!!...

Blue Stinks!!!...

Ask Killer Joe and his signed counterspell - when he gets it...

 

[Killer Joe]

I'll soon own a 'one-of-a-kind' Counterspell with train's wonderful thoughts on blue!

I was debating on whether or not to put Future Sight into my current T2 Psychatog deck.

I'm still wondering....

They're all from Trains faaaavorite color.

 

[train]

That was pretty good there Reverend!...

As for putting Future Sight in the Tog deck -

Here's some massive stuff to help you out:

Is it cephalid Snitch - that gets a counter each upkeep and then mills you for the # of counters?...

also - Shadow Rift - tog with shadow is not easy to block - and you draw...

Another quick kill - Traumatize yourself... then smash with tog...

"I've got so many ideas - and only so little time... and Blue Stinks!"

Ever see U/G madness in its heyday? Wonder was most definitely a problem, its been a very strong in Type 2 since it came out. MaRo even admitted that they kind of screwed the pooch with that one.

WOTC's into that frat house stuff...

Honestly - and taking from MaRo's own words...

Anytime something in Magic is turned into a blue card the "pooch" is getting it...

"The only color represented in the Power Nine is Blue, unless you count the colored mana produced by Moxen and Lotus..."

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, but "broken"? At least in the same category as the other two? I mean, Mind's Desire was banned before it was legal; Fact and Fiction was so good it was used in Type 1, but I just don't have that perception of Wonder...

but maybe I've been missing something

 

[train]

Spidey -

You're mainly right about Wonder... but the decks that give type 1 a lot of problems can be stompy if they get the right draw. I have seen a Wonder in a Stompy deck - It was horrendous...

As for Mind's Desire - it is still legal in type 1 - hasthe type 1 worlds been played yet?...

 

[Spiderman]

Beats me.
