Enchantress and Replenish are also extremely strong choices you should consider. So which of the 3 better fits your playstyle I guess.

>what's the advantage to playing Sligh
Slight can go gear 1 extremely fast, and the new lists that have been showing up with Pyrostatic Pillar, Flame Rift and Black Vise in the main board really farm the control meta decks.
I think it really depends on your local metagame, but even with 4 Mogg Salvage coming in from the sideboard, Burn still has a tough match-up against Stiflenought. Though if there are no Stiflenought players in your local meta, then...

I was enamored by premodern until it got on MTGO and the meta game actually developed and instantly went stale. We should just make a rotating format that randomly churns through older sets so that the meta remains fresh. Call it Senile Standard.

Even tournaments usually allow 10+ proxies. If you go for newer printings of the cards, they're typically very cheap. Give it a shot anon, it's a lot of fun.
>>97631694
Yeah, absolutely. You only have 4 Dreadnought, and you won't always have them early. Killed plenty of Dreadnought players before they even saw one.

>>97632155
Not really. Tweaking can let you spike different matchups, and there are still plenty of cards/deck configurations that haven't been tested. For example, the GW madness deck that's been doing well recently was previously unexplored to a large degree. I ran a deck similar back in the day with Anurid Brushhopper and Rancor instead of Patrol Hound and Tribe, and it was also good. It costs nothing to brew.

>Fight spells
Flavorfully interesting, but mechanically redundant when direct removal is in white's pie. The reason green, and to a lesser extent, red get it is because their creature removal is weaker, and fighting is conditional.
>Tax-based counterspells
Could work but WotC designs for people on Arena that cry every time they walk into 1U.
>Trample (large groups)
This is largely redundant because it's already very difficult to block a wide board, especially with an anthem on top. It's not out of the realm of possibility but mechanically is a bit weird.

Went to the tmnt pre-release played some draft. The sneak mechanic is kinda weak but i wemt 2-1 with it and suprisingly has some aggro applications i was able to do some nutty amount of damage with it.

>MTGO and the meta game actually developed and instantly went stale
This happened for a few reasons.
Some cards are now extremely expensive on MTGO due to the recent boom in players and grinders. This makes creating certain decks prohibitive.
Certain strategies are tedious and not very MOL friendly to replicate, as they require many clicks and loops (Doomsday, Iggy Pop, and Aluren).

The problem with homelands wasn't the setting. The setting itself was pretty decent. The problem was the mechanics. They were lacking and didn't convey anything that interesting from the story. If they released it today they would need to rework the entire set from the ground up. The set was also somewhat fucked over by not having rares and only commons/uncommons.

>The problem was the mechanics.
I'd argue that, from our current perspective, the problem was the power level. >>97632859 is correct: the costs were too high, even the filtering non-basics cost too much mana to make mana.
In fairness to the set, at the time no one really knew what Magic should be. Homelands, like Fallen Empires, was designed by the East Coast team that got axed afterwards. Ice Age, released between those two, was absolute head-to-head winner - but it also sat on the design back-burner for much longer and grew to the size of a base set, especially with the reprints (functional or identical) that it accumulated. Ice Age was effectively self-contained as a result (which actually lined up with Garfiield's original intent) and could stand on its own legs, whereas a significant chunk of FE/HL content was literal duplicates distinguised only by art/flavor text. Alliances was the merging point, but Ice Age/West Coast design philosophy was the clear winner in the aftermath.
So I don't think it's fair to judge FE/HL by West Coast standards. But also, I think it couldn't really stand up on its own, at a time when that was expected of Magic products.

>The set was also somewhat fucked over by not having rares and only commons/uncommons.
Ah, right, almost missed that point. Yeah that was definitely something people in the 90s hated about The Dark / Fallen Empires / Alliances. Of course this was before colored set symbols so no one actually knew about rarity on release, but eventually WOTC put checklists up on its website. Rarity was listed as "C6" or U2" - indicating how many times a given card appeared on the sheet when the cards were printed. I still remember in-person and online arguments about if "U1" is technically identical to a rare, and how repackers would advertise "Rares only, none of that Homelands uncommon crap!" when selling on eBay.
But if you look it up now, you'll notice WOTC errata'd the rarity itself. Gatherer says Apocalypse Chime is a Rare, so Scryfall and everyone else follows suit. Well fuck that. I still remember having to download .txt files and copy/paste stuff in Word to make Haves/Wants lists for online trading. Apocalypse Chime is U1 and my hard drive still has a file that says so.And the original card order before collector numbers put colors alphabetically too - Black, Blue, Green, Red, White; then Artifact, Land, Multicolor.I still remember, Wizards! If I can't get this out of my head after 30 years, you don't get to hide it either!

I wasn't around at the time (I was a toddler) but I've read the comic which I quite enjoyed. It just has no unique mechanics. Nothing that really goes: this is how the set is defined. Even if you changed the costs of things it would still feel bland and like it wasn't evocative of the plane it's trying to show. For example Innistrad has very specific mechanics like flip cards, curses, graveyard matters etc. If they remade Homelands I would like to see some more unique mechanics that really fit the themes of the set.
But of course we're not getting anything like that. They'll just print more and more UB shit like TMNT. Given all the Sony crossovers my guess is Elden Ring and other playstation stuff are going to be announced.If they make a nier automata secret lair I will consoom and oink as I do

They don't. That has become clear. Multiple versions of nearly the same effect have become commonplace over the past two years. They don't have time to test or see what other teams are doing at all - seven sets a year is an insane pipeline.

I see Assassin's Creed and Spiderman products at every game store I go to, they're never sold out. I assume the same will be true of TMNT, judging from the absolutely abysmal prerelease numbers. Final Fantasy was actually sold out at every game store I would go to when it first came out and still is at some. I remember Lord of the Rings selling very well too, but it seemed like sales plummeted once the 1/1 One Ring was pulled. Avatar was never sold out, but always had a decent crowd at drafts at my LGS. This guy is being very disingenuous in acting like every single UB product has been a runaway success. It has 2 major successes, 1 good success, 2 major flops with it looking like TMNT soon to be added to the major flop category.

It really depends on utilization. Godzilla would have been worse in Bloomburrow than it was on Ikoria, resident evil monsters could fit as a flavor UB on Innistrad.
The best UB options are IPs that, if they didnt already exist, could simply be a magic plane and no one would question it.
The next best are ones that you can fit into an existing or new magic setting by making smart choices, a TMNT UB group of alternate cards on Kamigawa could have been fine.
The worst are when the setting is blatantly not magic. The United Federation of Planets or New York are both antithetical to the magic universe.

That's funny, because the most successful sets recently were because they were riding off the coattails of another property.
Meanwhile before they went all-in on the UB, there was a Black Lotus cameo in Bojack Horseman.
Player count might be up for now, but does that necessarily transfer to brand awareness?

I'm sure they wanted to keep them separate, but I'm disappointed they didn't have more fun with the arts for Gilgamesh. It'd be cool to see him drawn with some of the more popular Magic equipments in his six arms, but Wizards seems allergic to growing their own brand.
If they did Kingdom Hearts, I'd love to see a new Keyblade designed for the collab.

I think edh being a singleton format makes it reasonable to buy 4 boxes with your pod. Trading allows you to have one of most commons and uncommons and you can easily get rid of duplicate rares. Last few years of playing modern i only bought a handful of singles each set. The main reason for the focus on edh is because booster packs are terrible ways to get play sets of cards.

Sorry, what I really meant was "arena formats are not real formats"
Pioneer might be somewhat close to ok but still bottom of the barrel for paper formats. You should under no sane circumstances pay2play on the official clients for a fireslop/fortniteslop-only card pool/formats. Basically you think you are getting a convenience at a small cost when really you are trapping yourself in an endless prison of nuslop thereby cutting yourself off from ever experiencing real mtg (and don't.think playing fortnitedh counts either, it doesn't) while you simultaneously support the further enslopification of the game with your speech, money, and use hours. You are the niggers ruining our game. Please learn to leave behind your bog of slop before you drag us all down to drown in it with you.

I sense no hype from anywhere on the internet.
All genuine communication about MTG online is negative.

Sure but at my LGS we legit do have more players than ever. Lorwyn, Avatar, and Final Fantasy all had over 100 people for prerelease. To put that into perspective they struggled to get 50 even 5 years ago.

The format's cheap if you aren't worried about having original printings. Basically any tournament I've ever seen has had a proxy allowance of 10+, so I'm not sure where this idea of it being an expensive format comes from. Hell, for strictly casual play you could just write names on the back of basic lands. Anyone playing the format is doing it for the love of the game, no one cares about 'authentic game pieces'
