Khans of Tarkir (Speculations and Spoilers)

I think that every bad card that comes out, somebody says "that will be good in EDH" or "that's probably for Commander". As if EDH players have no idea what we're doing, and just play any bad card we see. We have better taste then that.

Yeah I love when standard players say stuff like that. Its like yes, we can play anything, its just a complex eternal format, with multiplayer .politics. thrown in. Keep blaming us for every junk card in a set, even though the format is so crazy that legacy staples aren't even good enough.

 {Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded} I bet that was really good for standard

HOW DOES IT FEEL?!?!

It's very agressively costed. A Planeswalker for 2 mana!! Soo good in standard.

But really, I think that sometimes cards like {Sylvan Primordial} are treated like "This is good for EDH" because it's pretty high costed to be competitive in standard and works best in a multiplayer game. I wouldn't say that some of these cards that they say are only EDH playable are certainly playable in Standard. A 4 cost that I can equip to maybe {Hydra Broodmaster} in my GU deck and all my mana dorks are huge.

Only thing I'm seeing is to throw that on {Colossus of Akros} as it's already a massive defender. {2} and tap is a very efficient +10/+10 to all your creatures.

or put iton {hydrabrew master} just cuz thats how i would do it lol i pay 8 getting 8 8/8 hydras then give them +8/+8 for {2}

just fyi, if you only pay 8 mana into {hydra broodmaster}'s ability, you will not get 8 counters on him. this is because the monstrous cost has XX, not just X, so you have to pay the value twice. so if you want to monstrous broodmaster for 8, both values for x will be 8 and you will need 17 mana total.

ya i ment pay 8 each {X} ang green can ramp that much easily

i wouldnt say 17 mana is easy, doable, sure, but easy? probably not while verdict is in standard.

My buddy asked me how many helms do I think he smashed before he became known for it.

"A lot?"

[Grimmykinns]

It's not the smashing of the helm that makes him scary, it's who the helm is on when he smashes it that makes him scary.

Is that a quality vs quantity argument? Lol. I agree though.
