Oh wow, I need to do some side events then. This mat is way better than the piece of shit for the main event

Unforgivn_II: Cheers to CB, you can actually exchange the main event mat for the side event one at no cost at the tourney, even if you don't play in a side event! See their post for details.

Awesome art, but the mythic rarity will keep it from really doing anything useful. Still that art is great.
April 22, 2015 12:16 p.m.
In this thread people being like this.
Also, this art is superior to the original Vendilion Clique art by a mile.

kintighd I don't know how to say this in a very nice way but... Have you ever played Modern? Vendillion Clique was an INSANE card, it did everything you wanted it to. Thin decks, see hands, provide a chump block, if need be. It was, and is, the biggest staple in U/B Faerie control. Mythic rarity does nothing to that card. In fact, it makes it better in my eyes. Nothing better than seeing that niiice copper color on the side... Ohhh yaaaaa......
April 22, 2015 12:20 p.m.
I was talking about the price. I am aware that clique is a great card.
April 22, 2015 12:38 p.m.
Guys it is worth remembering that virtually no decks play clique.
April 22, 2015 12:45 p.m.
ChiefBell is correct, Vendilion Clique isn't played much. If I recall correctly it's sometimes 1-2 of in Twin lists and other blue based control decks.

Chief, a lot of decks have started using Clique lately.
April 22, 2015 12:47 p.m.
I am not seeing this on either mtgtop8 or mtggoldfish. On both those sites Clique is not even in the list of top played cards.
April 22, 2015 12:51 p.m.
slovakattack says... #24
Ironically, it's seeing much more play in Legacy, not Modern.
April 22, 2015 1:25 p.m.
That art is pretty nice, but I still prefer the original.

(Keep in mind, I'm only counting mainboard here.)
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9545&d=254813&f=MO Twin and Faeries ran them.
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9525&f=MO Twin played them.
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9522&d=254673&f=MO Blue Moon played a Clique.
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9529&d=254717&f=MO Twin, Kiki-Control (top8 called it midrange for some reason).
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9491&d=254491&f=MO UWR Geist played them.
In many cases, it's a 1-2 of, but it's starting to pick up. I wouldn't play a blue control deck without them. The reason it isn't really showing yet is because blue control-based strategies aren't doing well -- the card itself great. The decks playing them... well, they aren't doing too great.
April 22, 2015 1:28 p.m.
I think the search feature on mtgtop8 isn't working properly. I couldn't find clique when searching by name, but it's on some of the UWx decklists, the RUG aggro list that top 8'd SCG Baltimore, Faeries, UW control, Blue Moon... Seems like it's seeing play at 1-3 copies in a lot of blue decks.
Agreed that mythic rarity won't help the price all that much, unless Wizards magically prints buttloads of product. Also agree that the art is pretty sweet.
April 22, 2015 1:32 p.m.
also, i forgot it's legendary, another reason to not play 4.

The price of Clique will rise because of this new art, guaranteed. Expect to see 'original art clique' Clique pushing 100+, with the new art being substantially more than the original.
April 22, 2015 1:35 p.m.
Dang, I should save up for a booster box for MMA2015 then. SO EXCITE.

Also, why is it that there're four mythics spoiled, but I need copies all of them already? Sigh...
April 22, 2015 1:38 p.m.
4? I only remember 3. What was the one that wasn't Karn or the Goyf?
April 22, 2015 1:39 p.m.
TheAnnihilator - Because all the mythics are good and crazy good!

For the record, some Merfolk decks run 1 or 2 Cliques in the sideboard.
April 22, 2015 1:42 p.m.
A side effect of this printing is that Clique is a popular TL general for mono-U control. Hopefully it will drive the price down a bit.
April 22, 2015 1:44 p.m.
Wait... Emrakul is coming back?...
softly repeats Emrakul is coming back... Emrakul is coming back... Emrakul is coming back...
I am now officially scared for my life.
April 22, 2015 1:46 p.m.
I am late, I haven't been keeping up with it as much as I should be...
But holy cheese and vajayjay's I'm scared.

@slovakattack - Yeah, but I don't want to stand in that line. You know its going to be a mile long. Plus, that'll make my main event playmat harder to obtain? Since those who don't want it will no longer have it

Get in there, Faeries!!
Faeries are awesome. This art is great, too!
April 22, 2015 1:55 p.m.
slovakattack - I'm not expecting a drop like $60-$30, but closer to $50. It'd still be expensive, but not AS expensive.

So now I wonder if they're going to reprint the rest of the Eldrazi...

Is it sad that the single and only reason I want Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is to stick into an uber ramp deck and watch my brother's face when it hits the kitchen table, and try and make him rage quit?

AngryBearTony says... #49
@hammerhead300: Doubtful. We may see a few Eldrazi printings in MM2015, but I wouldn't bet on seeing Ulamog or Kozilek (at least here). Remember kids, Zendikar is coming soon(ish). Well, we could see one of those two (I can't remember which is still on Zendikar)...
April 22, 2015 2:21 p.m.
AngryBearTony Absolutely not, there are days where I think WotC made Emrakul just for that reason.
