http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... eature/281 I'm not a fan of the scooped edges on the new card frame. The font is nice (assuming it is actually centered vertically, unlike on the mock-ups), and the stamp will be fun. But the asymmetry

TubeHunter · Postby **TubeHunter** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:49 am

i don't think it looks too bad, but like you said, the asymmetry is a little off putting. What im particularly wondering is this:

"While every card going forward won't feature a designer credit (kinda sad, really), there are a handful of others in Magic 2015, specifically, that will. (You'll have to wait on those details! It's cool, I promise!)"

Im wondering what is up with that.

I really like it.

It looks good. I hate that they're so weary of doing more with the frames, because it's pretty clear that the community wants them to mess with them. See: extended art alters, borderless alters, digital proxies without borders...

TubeHunter · Postby **TubeHunter** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:36 am

after looking for a while, that sticker continues to look increasingly tacky. like a yugioh card or something.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 8:08 am

I like the sticker, hate the black bottom.

Kazekirimaru · Postby **Kazekirimaru** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 8:21 am

Extended-art stuff for like mythic rare foils I could so get behind. Of all the things they could do to the cards, this? Looks like vomit.

Ooh, they were so close too.

I will continue to be an original border snob.

I like the new take on GR Monsters that BBD top eighted the SCG with.

G/R Monsters is such a trap deck. It seems awesome but it is so inconsistent I'm amazed at the number of people who top 8'd with it.

Maybe I'm just bad at the deck, but I've won a grand total of zero matches with all the placing G/R monsters builds, but won plenty when switching it up to G/R devotion.

Tomorrow's low: 10 deg F.

I live in lower Alabama. This should not be.

Eeek. That's not good at all for that area.

It's a balmy -6 without wind chill here near Kansas City. It hurts to breathe outside, and it never gets quite warm enough inside.

On a happy note, my dude is 3 today! We're watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and he cries out "Darth Vader!" every time Vader appears onscreen. They grow up so fast.

it's you

that said, I probably wouldn't play it, I just like it

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:34 pm

He's list is obviously substantially more tuned than mine; mines a bunch of 4-ofs which is rarely correct in control.

I've not heard anyone like Prognostic Sphinx; but ges stuck with it for months now. I need to at least test it.

This list is infuriating to play against ("I enjoy playing against draw-go", said no one ever).

Everyone on Cockatrice is playing it right now... Just played against it 3 matches in a row.

I beat it 2/3 times, but I would prefer to never play against is again.

If you want to make people tilt, it's a good choice.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:40 pm

LP and I were joking that all UB Control decks should be called "River of Tears Control".

I can't wait for that black enchantment from M15. That's going right in all my Commander decks with B.

Proctologist Sphinx...lolz

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:56 pm

I have played 1 match with it and its fucking ridonkulous.

Khaospawn · Postby **Khaospawn** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:57 pm

So when you play it, do you ask your opponent to turn their head and cough? Or do you just snap some rubber gloves on?

redthirst · Postby **redthirst** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:58 pm

"People" who play UB Control are dog rapist. That is a verifiable fact.

Looks worse than other control options

That looks like fun.

Loam + Raven's Crime = Trollololololololol

TubeHunter · Postby **TubeHunter** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 4:31 pm

Already saw that val, looks so nasty. FUCK YOU DELVER OF SECRETS!

Also running entomb as a straight value card is ballin.

PPS; that phryexian Ingester looks so sweet in the board

RedNihilist · Postby **RedNihilist** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 4:48 pm

Ok, ok, ok.
Since I don't see Yarpus saying anything, I feel like I have to propose a sub-optimal card.

Could Pilfered Plans be in place of Divination?
You're not EVER going to mill them out, of course, but you could mess with their scrying.

Valdarith · Postby **Valdarith** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 4:55 pm

I liked the Junk Depths deck I saw as well playing Burning Wish. He was able to Wish for an Orzhov Pontiff in game two vs UWR Delver. Opponent picks up the card to read it, frowns, then scoops his TNN and Clique and literally drops them into his graveyard six inches below him. Was hilarious.

All I needed to see was Squee and I was sold.

Then I saw Coffin Purge. Do you even purge, bro!?

Valdarith · Postby **Valdarith** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:09 pm

I just love decks with value. And with creative ways to use Entomb.

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:52 pm

Dark Depths FTW!

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:53 pm

That's a fun looking deck, but it seems so easy to hate out that it will disappear within a week. I still love it though

GoblinWarchief · Postby **GoblinWarchief** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:23 pm

Men, have you seen the new card frame from m15? there is a black part in the bottom left of the card hat looks ugly... it can be seen in the wall of fire they spoiled.
