The worst flavor fail so far is that they made Bane black/ blue/ WHITE. WHITE. BANE. WTF. If you know ANYTHING about Bane, not even from Baldur's Gate, Bane is NOTHING white:/

 

[Scruffy]

Bane is lawful, and white is the color of laws and rules. Bane has the war domain, and white is about waging war in an orderly way. Also, Bane resurrected himself, which goes with white. I can see him being white.

And yes, Jaheira is in the set. I'll get to that. This version of Jaheira played into her ability to shapeshift into animals.

W. T. F.

Boo, for those unaware, is a miniature giant space hamster, so him getting more powerful is part of his flavor.

This card began as a character named Kagain, who didn't go to print.

I'll be damned, I just noticed they let you buy pack-bundles with gold instead of just gems now for New Capenna. So you can actually get boxtoppers with gold, but only on that set since they didn't retroactively let you buy multiple boosters with gold for the previous set because WotC's incompetent. Mildly handy since I was going to burn off a bit of gold on extra packs since I didn't draft all that heavily. Little curious how the BG shit's going to be handled since you wouldn't think cracking packs would be all that appealing an option for a historic brawl set.

Butterface...

 

[Newfag-er]

Wonder if every alchemy set is going to be draftable. As New Capenna will be draftable.

 

[Dr1f7]

ok she sexy there but the avatars in game ain't it bro

you can pick prof booba instead

more like prof hit-the-wall-20-years-ago

Sooo now that Streets of new Capenna is mostly over, was it as shit as I sensed? I played my gems away on sealed, learned that the limited environment is extremely unfun and quit the game again.

 

[lukaszek]

no longer doing standard but I think it did improve it based on some random shit ive red.

limited I didnt like too much. It was slower set without many bombs. Winning strategies were mainly around growing threats over time which did put white + green/blue at advantage. It didnt feel like other colors had synergies that could rival it.

 

[Dr1f7]

no cap is just too monochromatic
they lifted aesthetic from the new batman movies :puke: :sleep:
this card still rocks tho

if every card was like this no cap would be a fun set

having some fun with strixhaven quick draft rn tho

 

[Jason Liang]

More Midgard than Gotham. Or was that Neon Kamigawa?

 

[Dr1f7]

found a cool treasure dragon deck for standard.
it's pretty thematic, creating a shit ton of treasure and slamming down huge dragons

even includes some vamps and zombies

 

[lukaszek]

you can take it to historic brawl with korvold(or ziatora) as commander. Slap treasures and big dragons for the win

Sick alter!
