Also hits Greasefang really hard

glad peak
#

which then lets you karn wish for it after you've used it

golden plover
#

But I'm not sure if it kills the deck if you drop it t3 on Greasefang

#

Actually, it might?

#

You go for the Greasefang if they're not out, and Parhelion if she is

glad peak
#

with karn, you can do both in one turn nyaruhodo

golden plover
#

True

glad peak
#

given a lot of liberties with mana of course

golden plover
#

Yeah, there's no way this isn't insane in pioneer

#

It can just answer any problem matchup that's centered around a key card

#

And being able to just shit on Phoenix, Devotion, and Greasefang is probably really good in the format

#

I'm sure there's other uses I'm not seeing. But that alone means most pioneer decks want it

#

If nothing else, it usually wins you your mirror

copper pecan
#

yeah but you know what's really important about this?

#

you can name the tron lands

#

WOW

golden plover
#

Yeah, that's true too

#

I dunno if it's fast enough against Tron tho

fallow citrus
#

plenty fast against them if you see it t2

twilit canyon
fallow citrus
#

neat

lusty trench
#

doesn't say non token

lusty trench
#

Wow that's an underwhelming ashnod

#

Clay champion is cool

copper pecan
#

i mean i'd sure hope that a mv 1 legend doesn't have a strong effect

#

being able to get it out turn 1 literally every game means they need to give it something not strong

lusty trench
#

That's my issue though

#

Why make her 1 mana

#

And make her underhelming

hidden ermine
#

Yeah its just kinda

#

Boring

golden plover
#

Yeah, that's just pretty underwhelming all around

#

Especially since she'll likely die any time she attacks

lusty trench
#

Honestly I'd make her two/three mana and replace the when attacking sac a creature to when another creature you control dies

golden plover
#

At least make her 2 mana and give her menace

#

So she gets more than one attack in

lusty trench
#

It's a shame, she was the card I was looking forward to most after gix

#

Ashnod the uncaring ignoring mana abilities as well is not great

#

I guess uncaring can duplicate razaketh effects?

golden plover
#

Well you can't copy mana abilities

lusty trench
twilit canyon
#

she is entirely a build-around

lusty trench
#

God damn it thinking on it makes me hate the when attacking trigger more

#

Cause she can use the powerstone tokens for the second ability

#

But it's never going to happen

golden plover
#

I'm kinda not feeling the powerstone stuff tbh

#

Tons of just easy ramp

lusty trench
#

Them coming in tapped too is awful

#

Add to that the fact that a worn down version of them are strictly better

golden plover
#

I'd prefer them to come in tapped 99% of the time

#

But like, there's too many free artifact ramp rn

lusty trench
#

I actually can't think of a good way to use commander deck ashnod

#

I can think of maybe 5 creatures you'd want to use her ability for

golden plover
#

You copy non-creatures

#

Oh wait you mean Ashnod

lusty trench
#

Yeah my bad

#

Commander deck Mishra I can think of tons of uses for

golden plover
#

Yeah I'm definitely building something for Mishra

trail anvil
#

idk man I'm hype for her

atomic harness
#

tell em komi

lusty trench
# trail anvil idk man I'm hype for her

If you make a list for her please let me know because I absolutely love sacrifice decks, but rn I just don't see how I can use it, but that might be cause it's 1:45 am

golden plover
#

Commander deck one seems cool

#

Main set seems ISleep

lusty trench
#

I don't deny the commander deck one being cool, I'm just trying to think of ways to use her as most of my sac outlets make mana

#

I think we're only missing saheeli and fauna shaman from the arts we were given

fallow citrus
twilit canyon
#

i posted all of these except fade from history

fallow citrus

I didn't get a notification in here and didn't see cause I was scrolled down

glad peak
#

Clay champion is very cool

#

Canโ€™t wait to see the others

sudden lava
#

more bears ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

trail anvil
#

if we see a deck that spams assembly workers or something to the effect that'll be nice

lusty trench
#

Fade from history seems kinda good?

golden plover
#

It's above rate, yeah

zinc shard

This + the Darksteel or Bridge Lands

lusty trench

It doesn't say non land KEKW

atomic harness
lusty trench
#

Aww heck I lost my vorinclex voice of hunger

#

...is it odd I was more concerned about losing the sleeve cause that meant if I didn't have a spare I'd have to buy a new pack of sleeves

trail anvil
#

why'd this have to be symmetrical pensivecowboybread

languid quest
#

that is very much commander card

#

you can see that in way that it's worded

#

"you and target opponent"

young dirge
#

if im playing a format with no commanders can this card still function

lusty trench
#

The pay 3 tap mill three does

#

But otherwise no

young dirge
#

feelsbad

languid quest
#

that's cards designed for commander for you

zinc shard
#

LOL

languid quest
#

lmao WotC is getting desperate

fallow citrus

#

Arcane proxy seems bad unless you're casting it for the cheaper cost

twilit canyon
#

thats

#

entirely why you want this

hidden ermine
#

Even then its kinda

#

Eh?

#

Its like a wack Snapcaster

twilit canyon
#

3 mana 2/1 copy say expressive iteration is solid

hidden ermine
#

You lose flash in exchange for being able to play the bigger version

twilit canyon
#

now

#

because it is a wizard...

#

[[a-mentors guidance]]

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon
#

lmao

hidden ermine
#

Oh yeah in standard its probably fine, I'm thinking in formats where snapcaster already exists

twilit canyon
#

snappy is unplayable rn

#

i think arcane proxy is not perfect but there is potential for it

fallow citrus
twilit canyon
#

i

#

hate it

waxen timber
#

I wonder if arcane proxy would see play in glipse decks. Seems better than goblin darkdwellers since, you can cast if from hand for cheaper.

trail anvil
#

jesus fuck this card is busted

#

it takes 2 turns to board wipe but it handles everything on turn 4

#

I mean ig that's what you need when all the enchantments and walkers make bodies but holy shit

lusty trench
#

Like I'm bad at evaluating cards and I know this shit is busted

twilit canyon
#

well not quite i just hate that for 5 mana you can even grab a walker

#

*6

fallow citrus
#

super friends in standard time

#

nuke your opponent then just grab something good

copper pecan
#

there better be good artifact removal in this set

zinc shard
#

Doesn't say "Up to six" ๐Ÿค”

hidden ermine
#

Wait, does that mean you can't cast it if someone is on 5 lands?

golden plover
#

Don't they just keep up to the number

#

You fail to choose anything past 6

twilit canyon
#

but i want more yea

lusty trench
#

Apologies for bad quality

#

That emblem is pretty easy to get so I'm not surprised its not super impactful

hidden ermine
#

I mean, permanent cost reduction is pretty good

fallow citrus
#

her alt art is cool

lusty trench
#

Just nice art all around on her

#

Making two artifacts on minus two feels good too

lusty trench
languid quest
#

she seems good

fallow citrus

izzet affinity moment

#

How many mythics are usually in a set

fallow citrus
lusty trench
#

Oh I like this

#

I love playing my opponents cards, I like being able to utilize cards outside of what I normally use

#

I wonder if the ||myrel|| leak is true

but an insane one

lusty trench
#

Oh wow so just a really good reprint

twilit canyon
#

this one is actually good as fuck

#

im seething

#

but also holy fuck

#

historic about to be massively buffed

trail anvil
#

jesus christ

twilit canyon
#

all the retro artifacts besides bauble will be added

fallow citrus
#

including the altars right

twilit canyon
#

yep

#

nothing saying so

fallow citrus
twilit canyon
#

all we know now is that they will be from this post

#

its obvious why no bauble legal

#

but im mad

fallow citrus
#

this is the card of all time

twilit canyon
#

eh

#

meh

#

decent i guess

lusty trench
#

"I won't abandon him now"

Not in his colours

twilit canyon
#

hes red

lusty trench
#

He's also green

hidden ermine
#

Is Bard Class still in standard?

fallow citrus
#

no

trail anvil
#

at least the altars will still be really huge

trail anvil
# fallow citrus

2 mana 3/3 is a pretty nice rate at least, with the indestructible on the side

waxen timber
#

This set seems pretty underpowered compared to the past few. I wonder if this will be a new ixalan

trail anvil
#

shame you probably won't use it to push for damage unless you really want it on single target removal

trail anvil
hidden ermine
#

Wasnt Forgotten Realms the new Ixalan?

trail anvil
#

maybe it was called that but it had a shit ton of staples

#

the man lands mostly if not all used for obvious reasons, orzhov sac got a massive boost from that pack, gruul/monogreen got fantastic cards

hidden ermine
#

I mean

#

So did Ixalan tbh

#

It had the flip enchantments, settle the wreckage, Adanto Vanguard

#

Dive Down

copper pecan
#

ixalan was way worse than forgotten realms

#

ixalan had its half a dozen good cards stretched over two sets instead of just one

hidden ermine
#

Uh

#

Those were all one set

copper pecan
#

i thought vanguard was from rivals

hidden ermine
#

Nope, Ixalan

copper pecan
#

huh

#

my mistake

hidden ermine
#

It also had Vraskas Contempt, Kitesail, Entrancing Melody, Ferocidon, Im pretty sure Cannonade saw play

trail anvil
#

were the flip enchantments even played outside of azcanta and the white one

hidden ermine
#

Carnage Tyrant

#

Colossal Dreadmaw nyaruhodo

#

Hostage Taker too

#

Ixalans problem was that while it had good cards, it did little to change the meta

#

The cards just slotted into already existing decks

#

But if Im not mistaken, the same thing happened with Forgotten Realms

copper pecan
#

i feel like people wouldn't have hated ixalan as much if rivals wasn't also super weak

lusty trench
copper pecan
#

even after those rotated out most of the cards in ixalan weren't good

hidden ermine
#

Rivals was weaker, but even Rivals had a lot of good stuff

lusty trench
#

Yeah I'm aware, but the alternative was making stuff more powerful than those

#

Which no thank you

hidden ermine
#

Mono-U tempo relied a almost entirely on Ixalan cards

#

And that was a really good deck

#

The explore package was later a huge part of Greens success too

trail anvil
#

and stuff like ravenous chupacabra and moment of craving

#

mastermind's was big for mono b control

hidden ermine
#

Yeah

#

Rivals biggest miss was its flip enchantments

#

Of the original 5 only the black one didn't really see play anywhere ever

#

But the 5 in Rivals all sucked

#

I think Journey to Eternity was the only playable one

trail anvil
#

looking back through it, rivals actually had a ton of meta affecting cards

lusty trench
#

Iirc isn't the green flip from ixalan used a fair amount in commander or something

hidden ermine
#

It's basically another way to get a worse Gaia's Cradle

#

It sees play, dunno if its optimal

lusty trench
#

green card
Somewhat good
"That'll be $30"
ConcernedFroge

twilit canyon
#

forgotten realms invented mono green aggro in that standard

#

and mono-white's initial draft too

trail anvil
#

ik the monk was in there but were other second spell matters cards in there?

waxen timber
twilit canyon
#

a few others i cant recall off the top of my head besides cave of the frost dragon

hidden ermine
#

Did Urza seriously make the figurehead on his thopter ... himself?

fallow citrus
#

artifact flash ๐Ÿ‘€

trail anvil
#

time to run this as a colorless commander muugu

#

you gain protection from everything
so teferi's protection but much worse?

fallow citrus
#

teferi's protection but you can still play the game

hidden ermine
#

Doesnt protect your stuff, but also lets your stuff still do stuff

trail anvil
#

so you can still lose life as long as it isn't by a creature or noncreature damage, and you're immune to hand hate spells basically

#

and curses

#

for 5 mana nyaruhodo

lusty trench
#

Stasis coffin seems fine

#

Neat option for those commanders that don't have access to tefs protection

#

Urzas mario galaxy 2 ship though seems cool

golden plover
#

they're really trying to break KTGC huh?

#

All these artifacts exiling themselves

fallow citrus
#

ktgc?

golden plover
#

Karn the Great Creator

fallow citrus
#

oh it clicked as soon as I typed it out

golden plover
#

Wouldn't be surprised if the brain gets him banned in at least pioneer

copper pecan
#

i wouldn't be sad to see him go

#

they never should have made exile recursion in the first place

golden plover
#

Yeah devotion has been able to wishboard in answers for too long already

zinc shard
golden plover
#

He kinda deserves it

fallow citrus
golden plover
#

Yo that's kinda sick

fallow citrus
#

for only 8 mana revive any big artifact from your yard

#

like those really bad prototype ones

golden plover
#

I recall seeing at least a few artifacts that I thought "this is really cool if you can cheat it out"

#

Also, I like that 6 of it is colored so you can't cheat her ability with powerstones

fallow citrus
#

these are good if you can cheat them out

#

but like tocasia needs basically the same amount of mana to cast them anyway

golden plover
#

The black wurm is really good. There's a 7 mana one that did something crazy iirc

fallow citrus
#

arcane proxy is better casted prototyped tbh

golden plover
#

Yeah, 100%

#

He's not who I was thinking of

#

Oh wait... I think it's the card in the Mishra commander deck

copper pecan
#

i wonder if this set will be like rise of the eldrazi where there's a huge ramp focus

hidden ermine
#

Would be fitting

#

And explain why the Sylex is basically anti-ramp

golden plover
#

This feels really strong

#

Not sure where or in what

#

But it's good

copper pecan
#

i dunno, this doesn't seem very good

#

making your opponent also draw a card isn't great

golden plover
#

Yeah I was thinking you just ignore that and keep flickering her to pop all their artifacts

#

She's also better in commander than constructed, but I think she's probably pretty solid in both

copper pecan
#

there are way better things to flicker than this

golden plover
#

True, but it's notably a cheap flicker target that pops cards

copper pecan
#

are people flickering [[reclamation druid?]]

lost widgetBOT
copper pecan
#

that's not the one

#

the card that has the same popping effect for the same cost but it's green

hidden ermine
#

[[Reclamation Sage]]

lost widgetBOT
copper pecan
#

that one

hidden ermine
#

And yeah flickering rec sage is a play in some decks

copper pecan
#

if anything i'd rather flicker knight of autumn than this

golden plover
#

Yup, and rec sage is notably off color in certain flicker decks

hidden ermine
#

Some versions of DnT teched green for it iirc

golden plover
#

Almost everything that flickers uses white

hidden ermine
#

Or it was a modern Selesnya-coloured deck

golden plover
#

I think if nothing else, you'll split copies of Rec Sage and her if she doesn't outright replace Sage

clever sun
#

Loran is mid as a rare

trail anvil
#

this will be nice for yorion as a commander I think

#

at least in historic brawl, no rec sage

#

tbh as a basically better rec sage I wonder if you just run her then draw when you absolutely need to, outside of commander

fallow citrus
#

use her to draw while you have narset up 5head

waxen timber
#

Spirit of the Labyrinth and her will probably be playable together in a deck

twilit canyon
fallow citrus
#

sadge

trail anvil
#

the draw isn't sorcery speed tho

twilit canyon
#

yea so in theory u can use loran to draw a card every opponents turn with narset out

trail anvil
#

combat thresher looks nice for lagrella

#

mindbreaker maybe you could abuse some self mill shenanigans with that?

trail anvil
#

disfigure with cut down in the meta is a really interesting choice for a reprint lmao

#

idk maybe you can use it on that enlist creature that goes indestructible muugu

lusty trench
#

It's definitely a neat card to have in standard

sudden lava
#

wait the proto type cards cant be used in a colorless commander deck FeelsSadcatMan ?

#

cuz technically they have a color identity

languid quest
#

yes and if I am not mistaken same goes to those that have unearth with coloured mana in they cost

golden plover
#

Yup. Any colored mana symbols anywhere

golden plover
# trail anvil

For a second I read that as dismember and was shocked the best 1 drop removal spell was back

hidden ermine

lusty trench
#

I just realised clay champion has surpassed the four mana seven seven meme to be a four mana eight eight

sudden lava
#

gimmick commander: Urza's battle thopter BUT you make it voltron

if so then this isn't that great

Yeah it has to be able to hit both targets

Still very good

But it doesn't seem like it can fail to find a graveyard target

It doesn't read like it does

Brian Kibler looks like they belong in a rock band now

It might just be the quick translation, but the "then" seems to imply you have to do both

Oh wait it doesn't target the graveyard one

#

Yeah you can do it without there being anything in the graveyard

clever sun
#

It does but it is optional

Affinity is already tier one in the format

Springleaf Drum and good Red and Blue support for the two Affinity decks too and other good archive cards?

#

Wouldn't be surprised if some bans/nerfs come into play soon after

#

Liquidmetal and Lodestone for example

golden plover
#

Weird they went with costing over Torque

#

I know coating is more iconic, but torque is "fixed" in that it can't hit lands

clever sun
#

We are powering up Historic this set

#

Howling Mind

#

Defense Grid

golden plover
#

Yeah but they notably had the issue of Karn and Coating turning lands off

clever sun
#

Doesn't just do that

#

Karn can stone rain someone with coating

golden plover
#

I guess it's not a huge deal in formats without blood moon and the like

#

Yeah that too

#

But you'd think they'd wanna avoid that

clever sun
#

As I said

#

They are definitely looking to power Historic up

#

Historic is the only 60 card constructed format alongside Vintage where Lurrus is legal for example

#

I wouldn't be surprised if Oko is unbanned soon

golden plover
#

I'm honestly surprised they kept Lurrus over bauble

#

Lurrus causes more issues down the line, bauble isn't as likely to get banned

clever sun
#

Historic can nerf Lurrus

#

I'd like to see them nerf Lurrus to only cast 1 and 2 mana permanents

#

Which means Lurrus is a lot safer to co-exist with Bauble

#

and then nerf Yorion to be 40 cards

#

So a hundred card deck

Turns off blood moon effects

Probably a new green edh staple I guess?

Since you can fetch any land off things that fetch basics now

Yeah this doesn't feel very main set tbh, but I like the card

Honestly I say it depends on the deck whether this slots in or not

#

If your deck is filled to the brim with ramp it works

twilit canyon
#

yea the card is really bad overall

copper pecan
#

it seems really niche

twilit canyon
#

yea the big issue is that

#

unfortuntely

#

in commander

#

with the legality of

#

p much every card

#

we have actual broken cards that can tutor any land

#

[[crop rotation]]

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon
#

for example

#

or [[expedition map]]

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon
#

so if you are building a deck around a specific land

#

you already have infinitely more powerful tutors for it than a 4 drop that lets other worse cards tutor for it

copper pecan
#

i saw someone say that rootpath purifier would be good in historic brawl but i can't help but think about why you would ever run this when you could just have golos as your commander if you need to fetch any specific lands

twilit canyon
#

golos is banned

#

is why

#

btw that still doesnt sound amazing ngl

copper pecan
#

golos isn't banned in historic brawl

trail anvil
#

isn't this new card not legal for historic brawl anyways

twilit canyon
#

right nvm i was thinking of field of the dead

#

they banned that in hbrawl

#

golos in commander proper

trail anvil
#

iirc they did actually suspend/ban golos for a bit in historic brawl, but then brought him off the list again

#

cause he would fetch lands to meet his commander tax as usual

fallow citrus
trail anvil
#

I'm surprised alloy animist is in green

twilit canyon
#

green can manipulate artifacts at times

trail anvil
#

I just feel like every time I've seen this exact eff it's been in monoblue recently nyaruhodo

#

especially the 4/4 statline, that seems to be the golden ratio for wizards

trail anvil
#

1 extra mana for only potentially more healing than revitalize doesn't sound worth it

golden plover
#

Yeah but it also goes net 0

#

Still not really worth it

fallow citrus
#

I wonder if it'd find a place in pauper turbofog

copper pecan
#

i feel like revitalize is basically always better than this

#

and revitalize already isn't very good

#

also

#

Sorcery
Create X 1/1 green Dryad Forest land creature tokens.

golden plover
#

Isn't revitalize also common?

copper pecan
#

yeah revitalize is common

golden plover
#

Because I don't see revitalize in anything in pauper

#

That's a HUGE dork

#

5 cmc is asking a lot for a dork tho

#

But it's usually gonna make like 10-15 mana

copper pecan
#

understandable given how large some of the creatures in this set are

golden plover
#

Yeah true. But you just don't wanna be using a 5 drop to ramp

copper pecan
#

true

golden plover
#

It'll probably be good in the right shell, but 5 is asking a lot

Also to no one's surprise, the 30th anniversary lair crashed and is likely gonna be sold out

At the beginning of the combat in your turn, choose flying, vigilance or lifelink. Target creature you control gains that ability until the end of turn.

Weird this one isn't the mythic

the angel seems pretty decent

#

i'll probably run it in giada in historic brawl

fallow citrus

the angel seems pretty good in monowhite aggro tbh

#

drop it and then give something a keyword

depending on the deck you can drop it, give something vigilance so it doesnt die to twe

lusty trench

Flying and haste is huge

This card is only legal in eternal formats btw

its getting sword of the meek

There any big cards elf tribal can use in standard rn?

This deck is card for card Modern Shadow bar a few cards here and there

I have considered Footfall Crater there too

Wait what does shaman do for Greasefang?

Discard a creature find Greasefang

I guess she turns stuff like wayfinders into Greasefang?

Choose an artifact or creature you control, draw cards equal to its mana value, give control of it to an opponent

she was real

I'm glad she wasn't 2

Also the real one doesn't hit walkers

no

she could have been a 2 drop

golden plover

Grand Abolisher does set the precedent

twilit canyon

at 3 or 4 she is unplayable

But I doubt they'd want a 2 drop that does that now

she is also a mythic

and her tokens enter tapped

err

not fighting

twilit canyon
trail anvil
#

dang this has some scary ceiling

#

I wanna play this card with a big mana generator

twilit canyon
#

its bad dont

#

6 mana draw 3 on a 5/4 is mediocre

#

all of it has to be blue

#

6 mana draw 1 discard 1 get a 6 mana 6/4 haste trample for that turn is also not great

#

6 mana draw 2 6/4 haste trample is also bad

#

6 mana discard 2 haste trample 6/4 is also mid

#

scaling is the best thing it has but it would require infinite mana to do anything relevant

trail anvil
#

fair enough, ig the flexibility isn't accessible enough

twilit canyon
#

baseline 6 mana and you need double pips per ability

#

thats the biggest restriction

trail anvil
#

do you think it would be better if it was something like "chose 3, you can choose the same mode thrice" without being reliant on the mana paid?

twilit canyon
#

yea

#

absolutely

#

cus think about it

#

to get a draw 3

#

its six blue

#

to get a discard 3 its 6 black

#

to get +3/+0 haste and trample its 6 red

#

but if you play 5 blue and a red or black you dont get the other effects and you only get a draw 2

#

4 blue red and black its the same

#

you only get a draw 2
