Quote: Originally Posted by HairyMezican After the first use, if you can't shuffle your deck, the ability basically becomes, "Draw the card that is 3rd from the top of your deck". It really loses some of it's punch if you have to scry yourself every other turn in order to draw some fresh cards. "Second or Third", actually. You're forgetting about your draw step, when you'll get the card...

Quote: Originally Posted by BweeBwee According to your logic, if I play a Flying Men , it's card disadvantage. That's exactly what I'm saying. It costs you a card to get that creature into play. When you're speaking strictly about "Card Advantage", no, Elvish Visionary doesn't generate CA. It's a cantrip. Just as any creature that doesn't allow you to draw cards is a card disadvantage....

Quote: Originally Posted by Crocodile I was responding to his assertion that there should be nothing difficult to understand about his point. I argue that his definition of CA makes no sense to begin with. Hence the "confusion". Irregardless, you are right, this is the Jace thread. I personally don't see how anyone can call the card crap straight up but I also wouldn't call it the second coming of blue all by...

I wouldn't be surprised if Lotus Cobra's days come again. Extended season is approaching, and I think it's safe to say nothing besides the fetches (and Bloodghast in Dredge) will be seeing play at high levels in Extended. When Standard season comes back in, Cobra, DoJ, and some other cards will probably jump back up a bit. Very surprised at Goblin Guide's low price. He's run heavily in Standard, sees some Extended...

Quote: Originally Posted by WERE-Wolf12345 As for the interaction part, perhaps I meant to say ''synergy''. How would you call the interaction between a fetchland and brainstorm? And for the brainstorm part, roughly, it doesnt give you more cards in hand with or without the fetch, but, like you said, it gives you a better card selection. I was using this fine example to define ''interaction between...

People should go read sprouting thrinax's spoiler if they think this card is going to be bad. So much hate. "It might be good if it had persist." "Impossible to cast" "Will never see play." I get that blue wants to...

You're right this is a thread about fetchlands, and that means that flopping your Baneslayers and Pulses on the table and taking...

"It dies to removal" is a valid argument when it represents a 6 mana investment, if it appears in your deck it's a win condition, and it dies to an unkicked burst lightning. I guess you could say "It dies to removal that a 6 mana creature shouldn't die to" instead, but meh. The better argument against Roil Elemental in constructed is that you're pretty much always better off having dropped a...

Quote: Originally Posted by WeNeedControl Kraken Hatchling is actually just what blue needs for constructed. It's a crappy creature with no abilities that blocks a putrid leech because no one ever plays 2 life. It also blocks steppe lynx and plated geopede well when combined with a fetchland. Also remember when Ball Lightning swings, only 2 damage will trample over if you block with Hatchling!!! And all for 1 mana. It's also an...
