Manalink Update - Sep 16th - Dredge

[Revan]

Great update!

Hope you will give us such an update when Zendikar comes around, since it will give us enemy color fetch and Day of Judgement (Wog that allows regeneration.) as you can see here: http://mtgsalvation.com/zendikar-spoiler.html

Woot cards without a challenge!!

I am glad we are still getting updates not attached to 10 more challenges or something.

By the way the improved force of will is not force of will level at all. It is only better against combo decks that like to play solitaire.

Most decks in T2 or Extended don't cast 3+ spells a turn.

Is it just me or does Ichorid not allow you to resurrect him using his ability.

True, but in Extended/Standard, Mindbreak Trap will have a great use since it can counter spells that are not supose to be countered such as Volcanic Fallout and Great Sable Stag, which are staples in the current metagame.

With spots limited I'm not sure we need a 3rd wrath of god. If we can expand the card base beyond 2000 then I'm sure Jatill would happily make some less powerful cards.

[Revan]

It's a great addition for highlander decks in the game, plus you can evade cards like medlling mage and cabal therapy with it.

Plus non black using decks can then play 5-8 WoG that cost only 4 wich is important against fast aggro decks.

The can't regenerate clause isn't that important, so I think day of judgment will be a great addition.

Except that we already have Wrath of God, Rout, and Final Judgement, all in white, not to mention stuff like Damnation and Nevinyrral's Disk.

[Revan]

Except for damnation, they are all not possible turn 4 without acceleration. But nevermind. We will see what the future brings.

Apparently I'm the only one having problems with Ichorid unless I am doing it wrong I was looking for a trigger off the rules engine during my upkeep. Didn't see it come up...

I never had any problems; it came up automatically for me during upkeep. Did you read the part where you need a black creature in the graveyard to remove?

[monopoman]

Yeah I'm looking for the trigger when I've got like 45+ cards in my graveyard and some of them are black creatures for sure.

[somacat]

Normally works fine for me, though once or twice I've had 2 Ichorids trigger, then a 3rd wouldn't (with Black creatures in gy etc).

And on Day of Judgement - maybe it could *replace* one of the more expensive wraths, perhaps Final Judgement - although that is currently in the Turbofog challenge deck...

I really want Spellstutter Sprite and Mistbind Clique ! Is there any chance of their inclusion on the next update?

Thanks!!!

Hmm, I have no idea then. I built a fairly ordinary dredge list to beat Epic again (legitimately this time!) and I always just had it come up automatically, the way something like Force of Nature stops you and asks what you want to do. I did find in one dredge list where I had Nether Shadow that it would stop and ask whether I wanted to process the 'rules engine' (which would go to the ichorid menu) or the shadow legacy first, but other than that it comes up automatically for me, and even in that case it won't let me skip to the next phase without making a choice on ichorid.

Nope

[Salbei]

but i guess a 20$ donation might change that

Really? It seems fair enough to me!
I really want those two girls in my faerie army...

Also, thanks a lot for the great job with this game, guys!
