The Proffessors: Episode 63: Spoilafrickenrific

[prothico]

Thornling is horrible

[bigblopper]

Lastly, if there was no fae and toast, B/W tokens, R/W lark and kithkin would dominate.

[bigblopper]

But mono green treefolk are bad, and thus, Dauntless Dourbark is bad. Tower's okay. Not a huge fan, but it's not bad. Usually when you have to discard, it usually isn't a big deal or you're winning anyway. Mayael is good in the right limited deck, just throwing it out there. Thorning SHOULD'NT go above $25, and mostly because of casual play. I prefer colossus, even in the current black lacking meta. When he rotates, it really depends on a lot of things, but he could see lots of play.

[bigblopper]

Giltspire avenger dies to EVERYTHING. Why not just play warmonk?

Nyxathid is GOOD in a dedicated discard deck. However, discard is weak atm, and it is not worth building around. Definitely an inclusion if you build one, however.

Zig is a great land in a creature only deck, obviously...but creature only decks just arnt'e very good. A lot of weird cards are good if you build around them. Take Dauntless Dourbark for example. In a mono green treefolk deck it's great right?

[proffessors]

-Morphling was in Urza's (I missed that I didn't really know the old set symbols and thought that was onslaught (I started magic about 7 years ago, just short of onslaught))

-This set is pretty awesome.

-Odious Trow sucks but the ooze MAY be good.

-Thornling was fetching for $15 at the prerelease, but it's worth more and I shall prove it!

-So until next comment...

[carthwolf]

thornling is over rated.

[koopk1]

thornling is bad, chameleon collosus is way better.

[thisisnotexit5]

you just said morphling is "ok"

epic fail.

he will be a $20 max

[carthwolf]

wrong

[mercenarybdu]

"non-basic" is the word you were stumbling for...

[czeluff]

I think you're overlooking a HUGE point about Mythic Rares.

Just because a rare is $25 doesn't mean it'd be $50. There's only SO much money in the Magic system. Unless the card is ABSURDLY good in Vintage, Legacy, Extended, and Standard (ie. Tarmogoyf) no cards printed in sets end up being more than $40. I believe that if Tarmogoyf was a "mythic" rare, the price would've changed a BIT, but not as much as you specify.

[theRAGNAR321]

i dont think you understand the concept of inflation...

[sithapprentic03]

i dont think that malstrome angel of child of alara will be that impactfull in the standared meta becuse of how much hate

[tzone92]

Don't you mean Urza's, not Onslaught? Morphling is definitely from Urza's, not Onslaught.

[dmoc1592]

the ooze is garbage, ummm, how are you going to get that black/ green permanant

t2

[Wedgehead123]

Duh! odious trow! he's played in almost every deck ever!

[LordEdge19]

Ppl should listen more to Wedgehead, this guy know his magic and metagame!

[thefallenangelsora]

one card which i am very surprised hasnt gotten very much time spent on it (or it has and i havent seen anyone give their commentary on it) is bloodhall ooze. i dont know but 1 red for a 1/1 and it gets bigger each turn it stays out when you control 1 green and black permanent seems pretty solid to me

[nathones]

i don't like the zig cuz it doesn't work w/ abilities requiring mana

[manudosde]

Thornling would never reach 20$ as a rare, not in a million years. Morphling was 100 times better because once you reached 7 mana it was almost imposible to remove and completely dominated the board. There was no path-to-exiling Morphling, and the untap ability really made a difference.

Btw, great show, and sorry to hear u didn't get any credit for your spoiler, that sucks

[Skwizzles]

Great episode again anthony.

gl at the prerelease and get better lol

[BrendanJourney]

Did you mean Urza's Saga and Time Spiral blocks? Morphling was printed back in the middle ages so to speak, not Onslaught. Urza's block was actually very fast with a lot of broken combo decks. Morphling didn't see play until thorough bannings happened anyway.

[salmonking007]

<3 to 5-color elementals.

Shh about the Nyxathid... I want to get mine for a decent price, lol. Great show dude, and good-luck at the pre-release (assuming you're participating).
