This Xenagos card I can’t get to show up in group searches so I’m including it individually:
Topics Discussed:
- missed the ixalan craft ep
- also enjoy a siege rhino
- newest magic player
- “a good warmup” (definitely didn’t take 40 minutes)
- “perpetually” good tech for behold
- benefiting both dragon and omen
- firebreathing
- benefitting both the cleric and the dragon
- weakness of firebreathing
- mobilizing a dragon
- where are alchemy cards most played?
- goblins who love being eaten
- shuffling dying creatures back into your library
- how much text to shoot for on a card?
- cost reduction on the creature itself?
- whoops it’s just another red behold card like sarkhan
- reanimating and boosting a dragon
- Dragon-Past is cool
- perpetually doubling power
- chorus with harmonize
- what values are good to scale?
- +1/+1 counters a bit boring
- generic effect? ugin colorless stuff on tarkir?
- copying some homework
- kicker the bucket
- sick curves
- conjuring for renew
- a random peter hiccup while tim is talking about RG and UR
- naming a song is the hardest part
- your tokens are copies of me
- seek imprint
- can perpetually ever affect tokens?
- boons
- giving tokens industructible doesn’t help with exile wraths
- crafted’s pet mechanic is “can’t leave the battlefield” and has a xenagos to back it up
- horde mode cards
- protecting creatures sometimes lets them block forever
- indestructible while tapped
- keyword for can’t leave the battlefield (crafted is optimistic)
- learning a lot about alchemy!
- no I’m not hoping for that
- god’s honest cards
- naming artifactfall “clank”
- kamigawa but more radical
- peter’s move rec: the prestige
