I think {Jace, Architect of Thought} is overrated. I just don't see it. Please convince me

I'm not sure how he's insane in standard, but Modern an Legacy he's brutal. With {Doubling Season} and {Wheel of Sun and Moon} out, cast him, pop his ulti, search for himself (because he will be back in your deck by the time you search) and any nonland card in all your opponents' decks. Rinse and repeat for the win.

Miss plays happen all the time and that's a different topic along with counter fear, etc. I didn't make the original point to argue about 1 card vs another. I'm saying there is bigger impact cards you can play for 7 mana. I'm not going to repeat myself. If you have a valid point, or something new, please contribute.

I will point out that if one player miracles entreat for 7 and the other player has 7 to overload rift...rift wins.



But even so, are we really going to do the "oh yah well what if I had this card" game?


I'm pretty sure you started this "game"

Well it comes down to this: I made a deck with cyclonic rift and it has been extremely useul. If you want me to prove that it is good my username on cockatrice is Coffee Vampire.

I never said the card isn't useful, I said it had potential. It plays really slow and I really wish it would work like I want because I was let down after seeing it in action.

And I don't play cockatrice anymore. Too many people rage quit, people who don't know how to play, cheat, etc. I don't have time for that crap no offense 😊

I was stoked when I pulled {vraska, the unseen}. Then I saw it went from $40 to $25 and cried a little.

Love the idea. Why can't they make all PW cost under 4 or under? Then people would be more apt to play them

We don't talk about {Tibalt the fruit cake}

Personally, it's not the card for me. I was excited because I knew there'd be someone on eBay willing to pay $40 for it. I ended up selling it for $23 on there, so $19 profit off a $4 booster pack wasn't too bad.

None taken dude...people on cockatrice can be so rude. And not to mention the people who take forever and you don't know if they just decided to go out to eat! I just try to be polite and hopefuly people return the favor.
