      Maybe the commander product will have that, where the adventure half is to venture into the dungeon and the creature will somehow have a different ETB effect based on how far you are into the dungeon (maybe it’s +1/+1 counters to represent their adventuring experience, maybe it’s life gain like they’re bringing you provisions, maybe it’s extra scry so you have a better idea of what’s coming up within the dungeon, or maybe it’s a “if you complete a dungeon, copy the last effect” like they are increasing your reward).

    Dungeons are a flavor win, but because you have to actively use slots in your decks with cards that are only good with the dungeon mechanic, I don't think they will be very powerful.
    Companions were good because you can play them with any other card you wanted. But when a mechanic is self referential and therefore limits you to playing a tiny pool of cards from one set then it's just not as likely to be broken (see Lesson/Learn mechanic).

      I mean they are a flavour fail in the context of Magic. It's literally just "wink wink, D&D go through teh Dungeon by attacking your opponent". Adventure is broko and Party is shit, but Level Up would have been good to see. The problem with Adventure is it's just absurd card advantage, no one likes playing against it because you feel (quite rightly) that Bonecrusher and Brazen Borrower will just answer anything you have, and get a decent creature to boot.

    I’m betting on a land with “(4), T: Ventures into the Dungeon”, would be pretty good in hard control and lands, but if there’s like a red mythic with haste that ventures on hit then I can see dungeons to be very very good, even a single playable “ETB, Ventures” that gets played at 4 gives you a _lot_ of options out of the three available dungeons and first few rooms, scrys, life, blockers, treasures, etc…

  • @matthewwizardify
    @matthewwizardify 3 роки тому

    The actual effects on the dungeons seem really tame, but we don't yet know the cost of accessing the effect. Like, if there's a combo that lets you access the effect for U each time or when a creature etbs, then it's obviously very good (in the context of tokens). Even for 1U each, I think it would probably be fair. That would be 7UUUUUUU, for gain 1 life, scry 6, create a treasure token, exile 2 cards from the top of your deck and you can play them forever. Draw 3 and you can play 1 for free. Which seems pretty tame. The rate really matters here.

  • @bernardo013
    @bernardo013 3 роки тому

    I feel like we can only truly know how impactful these dungeon cards will be when we learn what other cards in the set have the venture mechanic and if those cards can be 'abused' to venture through dungeons quickly. If so, you can get so much value in a small amount of time. Venturing through a dungeon at a rate of one or two rooms per turn seems pretty balanced and fair. Venturing through entire dungeons in a single turn? We'll see...

    They could have a reward system, whereas when you complete the dungeon. You get to flip the dungeon card and reveal a powerful creature, artifact, enchantment, or sorcery and it comes to play without mana cost. (For example, Let's say I complete the dungeon. I get to flip my dungeon card and it becomes a powerful creature.) or I complete another dungeon and flip the dungeon card to reveal a strong artifact or equipment and it comes to play when I complete the dungeon, with no casting cost.

    Dungeon/Venture is definitely a wait and see mechanic. If it gets enough good enablers and payoffs, it could be just as parasitic to Standard that Energy was. However, it could also be just another good limited mechanic that really doesn't see play in Standard.
    I unfortunately don't really see any middle ground on this mechanic, but I could be wrong. However, it's still far too early to judge one way or another about it being good in Standard or not.

      This is how Dungeons work in my Zelda set. They have a mechanic (also called venture, go figure) where creatures can tap to add a counter to them, then you can activate an ability and remove counters for some benefit. Representing exploring a place and bringing out treasure or items. I think the downside is the Dungeons feel less like an ordeal, but the upside is there are a lot more you can represent, and some fun interactions with creatures.
      I didn't think about using DFCs, but it's probably a good idea since people don't like counters on lands.

    Dungeons are cute in terms of flavor, but unless we see something that really helps to push them along (like a card that allows you to advance multiple times in a turn), I think they're a bit too clunky to be practical. A cute little inclusion for the Timmy in all of us, but not something you really want to base a deck around.
    Good to see Gloomstalker continuing the trend of Wizards abusing the common slot for the purposes of draft. A creature that fails the vanilla test because it would be too good if it passed, and you managed to actually jump through the hoops of the set's mechanic is exactly what I expect from wizards. Most of the time it's going to be a feel bad 2/3 vanilla for 3 mana. I see we've already got the 2 mana black removal spell that can't hit half the creatures in this set, and I look forward to seeing the 5 mana burn spell that does a game-breaking 3 damage. Wowie kazowie!

  • @SWAT6809

    Zones that opponents cant interact with, thats just a recipe for feelbads. As soon as someone finds a way to venture infinitely its "choose your wincon from your sideboard". Obviously we dont know the potential of venture cards yet, but mechanics that exist in non-interactable zones are *very* easy to break. Companion was (hopefully) more extreme, but I understand the comparison. I usually have to think about yugioh, which invented new zones for cards that dont have to be in your deck and practically are always available once you need them - which is akin to this.

      Well, if you take a step back it's just a triggered ability that's modal and the dungeons are used to reference what effect you get. They're no less interactable than any other creature with an ETB or activated ability etc, and Magic is already filled with a bazillion ways to win the game once you can repeat an effect infinitely. I don't think there's much to be worried about tbh.

    I feel like you're VASTLY underestimating how these Dungeon cards will work. We're likely to see 4 of them in the 4 commander deck products, probably three of these 4, and every pack will have a Dungeon card slot so it takes up a rather small meaningful chunk of what you open for the set. I was kind of hoping that they'd have mentioned if we're getting more Zendikar Returns Again (Yes I forgot the name of the set) Party mechanics, since it would be pretty fun to have a party mechanic that cares about venturing through the dungeon(s) you might have. I think that it'll end up being about as relevant to now as the Energy Mechanic from Kaladesh, where it seems like it's a way to push cards a bit further but unfortunately doesn't really exist outside of standard rotation.

    I just want to know what happens when you build an Adventure deck in day 1 Limited. You won't have cards for all three, I guarantee it, unless they are all automatically included in the Prerelease pack. But you have access to all three regardless, according to the Mechanics article on the site.
    My biggest annoyance is mechanics like this and Lessons and Party that are made and specifically slated for Limited... and then have Mythics associated with them, when Mythics are specifically made to not be seen in Limited. They are rarely good enough to put in anything, including commander, especially when the majority of the cards are just garbage and there will likely never be another card with the mechanic (not even in Modern Horizons).

      Instead of adding more Dungeons, they could instead have a variant of this, like assembling contraptions. That was they don't risk breaking these wide open sometime in the future by accident.

      @mathewevans9706 3 роки тому

      @@PleasantKenobi To be fair, fun and flavorful is my opinion, but I can see how that statement would read.
      I pondered on either tying progression to the party mechanic/composition (When X type of creature enters the battlefield, advance to the next chamber) and/or having them be a subset of sagas which would allow for some form of interaction.
      If I was designing these things, and I knew I was only getting 3 (Personally, I think they could've done at least double that, if not more), I'd likely do the Demonweb Pits (With Elf and Spider anthem paths) which ties to old school D&D stuff and Lolth, Castle Ravenloft (Undead support with a side path to snag/create a Sword or like, board wipe black cards or something) since Curse of Strahd is the most popular 5e module, and I unno, Crenshenibon the Crystal Shard or something (Blue effects centering around mind control) for that distinctly Forgotten Realms dungeon and then you set it up so that progression not only produces different effects, but leads to nicer rewards, and successful completion also like produces a treasure every turn (Because you should get some loot for completing a dungeon) or it makes an emblem that produces a unique thematic effect for the dungeon's successful finish. I also would've been interested in dungeons as curses that inflict conditions on your opponent and how they built their deck affects how they progress through, with them receiving a reward at the end for successfully completing the dungeon you've imposed on them.
      Now granted, these could be set in a way to be broken, but I think if the cards actually took up deck space and/or could be interacted with, that would balance that a bit.
      As it is, I feel like they played it too safe with the design on this one.

    The main difference between lessons and these is that with lessons you had to still cast the card, when you enter a dungeon you just start getting free vaule right away. Every deck will run these, even if you don't play the cards that get the dungeons. You can bluff that you do, since they don't take up sideboard slots. It's basically the snow situation before we had some hate.

    Feel free to take my hot take Vince,
    Three (snow, lesson, dungeon) parasitic sets in a row. All purposely low power level.
    That is the smoke they put the FIRE design phase out with; an entire rotation under power. Eldraine takes all power with it when it goes.
    FIRE design to punch power down through the formats straight into legacy, horizons to rotate every formats top tier of decks, feeling out which levers to pull and what lines to cross.
    Then, back-to-back tribal sets in Innistrad, the playerbase's all time favorite tribal plane, and the delicious smell of phyrexian oil lingering in the air the whole time.
    After FIRE power designs and 5-color-nonsense, and after the parasitic neato whizbang cool down period; we get color-identity focused tribalism in innistrad as it mends only to be invaded by phyrexia and its no-color-designs.
    Be hype.
