There have been a lot of new events lately, which we appreciate. Why not make an event only for mono-colored PW’s? This has been a request for a loooong time.
I hope not because it would force players to buy the new monocolor PW to stay competitive. Please don’t do it. Of course now the idea is out of the bag, I’m sure some higher places will be inspired…
@Rasalghul
I think the idea is to use any mono PW, not just the new ones.
FWIW, I think it’s a great idea to limit it to any mono PW. I think it’s a terrible idea to lock it to specific PWs they way they did in HOU with Elspeth, Samut, and Bolas1.
That’s an interesting idea. I’m on board. Seeing Bolas, Sarkhan 3, and Tamiyo on repeat is pretty stale. I’m just as guilty about falling into the trap of using multi colored walkers because of card access.
My only suggestion would be to not make the objectives too restrictive since you’re already restricted on available cards.
Count me in too. Would be a nice variety - something really different. Not as an objective tho, make it a restriction (I think that’s what TO had in mind), and indeed allow all mono PW’s.
OR have it limited to one particular walker.
BUT let every one use that walker at level 60 regardless of whether they own it or not (like duel decks).
Allow the player to use their own card pool tho- none of that pre-constructed deck rubbish.
Have the walker on sale throughout the event if people decide they want it they can buy it.
I would love a reason to dust off some of the walkers that I will never use for any other reason.
@FindingHeart8 - I think we will see more diversity if it was an event the included mono-PW and mono-coloured cards. Now that would get the deck-building going!
I would change the Archmage objective to: X spells with cost Y or less. For me, blue is not especially the color of big splashy spells, but more the color with a lot of small spells
That and you’ll still have access to multi colored cards. 11 or more would probably be ideal because it would prevent people running BSZ loops (if it’s a legacy event). There’s no shortage of blue ramp either.
Blue has gotten ramp historically but it’s almost always tied to artifacts and/or instants/sorceries. Also, the biggest offender of all time was Tolarian Academy which produces blue mana. A land so busted, it is even banned in EDH/Commander.
Urza, Lord High Artificier is fairly representative of his paper counterpart. Heck, if anything, we should all be happy they didn’t add the equivalent to his activated ability to the game. The only thing I don’t like is that they made his support a Land which makes it too hard to remove given the proclivity of non-land removing supports lately.
Since Devotion To [color] in this game is the number of mono-color cards cast, a simple goal could be “Devotion to [color] X or higher.” This would drive the inclusion of more mono-color cards for those going for full points.
