I own Graveborn. All foil.

I picked up the new Planechase set with a friend today. The decks are actually pretty darn fun to play. Anybody else ever dabble in this offshoot?

That's actually pretty cool. Immediately I'm drawn into thinking of ways to use it with Invisible Stalker and/or Geist of Saint Traft. Smash in a Lingering Souls and/or Midnight Haunting and you have a pretty large unblockable swinging.

Day of Judgment isn't revealed for a reprint yet... wonder it will get one? Perhaps Damnation instead?
I know Damnation won't. But a boy can dream

With all the hexproof bullshit going around I think they have to, although white does already have terminus. They need to print a red sweeper as well

Bonfire of the Damned isn't strong enough for your taste? lol

I agree though. Just reprint Pyroclasm and be done with it. Or nerf it like they did Incinerate and up the cost to 1RR.

I guess he's talking about in the future? Slagstorm is still good enough for the time being, I'm assuming he wants a non X casting sweeper for red.

So with Sublime Archangel out, a creature with Exalted will have it trigger twice on attack? I'm liking the thought of Invisible Stalkers even more now. Are there any 1 drop Exalted creatures?

It'll trigger for as many creatures you have that have exalted. In addition if say you have that angel and it gets exalted from another ability it would activate twice. They are seen as separate instances of exalted if I'm reading the card right?

Yes I meant after rotation. Bonfire is too slow when you don't luck out. Pyroclasm would be good, Volcanic Fallout even better.

Noble Hierarch!
And yes, I think with that angel out you can have a card that gives +2/+2 to a lone attacker.

Right. If the angel is your only creature you will get exalted once. If you drop the angel and attack with just the stalker he will get exalted for every other creature you control, including himself.
 
Attended Knight 2W
Creature - Human Knight
First strike
When Attended Knight enters the battlefield, put a 1/1 white Soldier creature token onto the battlefield.

Blade Splicers replacement once it gets rotated out I guess. Can't believe it's a common card.
 
New legendary gobbo!

Krenko, Mob Boss (Rare)
Legendary Creature - Goblin Warrior
T: Put X 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is the number of Goblins you control.

Meh, nowhere even close to blade splicer. It's ok, nothing great. I can see why it's a common.

Looked it up and it's a 2/2 incidentally

Ehhhhh it's okay. It would be amazing if the token were a human. I hate white weenie humans that bring out non-human soldiers. :P Always feels kinda janky and lame.

Love that Angel further up the page. Gonna need a playset of those...didn't think I would dig Exalted for this set but I didn't realize it can stack. That's hot.

edit: woah I missed this one. Why hello there Yeva. Let me buy you a drink you sexy thing. Playset? Playset.

Pretty much, there's no synergy with soldiers right now, it's all humans. It's just not as much as people are making it seem I think
 
I like it because:
-it's a cheap alternative to Blade Splicer
-it's a 2/2 first strike human
-it gives an extra body to sac or trigger an etb ability with
-both creatures benefits from Honor of the Pure

It would've been amazing indeed if that extra body was a human but I could see the card being a rare at that point.

Whoops, my mind read it as human. If it is only soldier than screw that card. Human tokens would be so money.

To be fair we don't know whether Honor will be reprinted or not just yet.

Wasn't this time the second in a row so it probably won't?

But it's a 2/2 human for 3 mana... And unless I'm desperate I'm not wasting my blink in a deck for this card pretty much ever. Blade slicer gave you a 3/3 golem that had first strike if blade splicer was on the board. I'm not sure how you can even compare the two like you would use them the same.

I'm with you. 2/2 first strikers for 3 don't see constructed play, and getting an extra 1/1 token out of the deal that doesn't interact in a tribal sense certainly isn't going to improve its chances.

In limited though? This could easily be one of the best white commons.
 
It's why I said cheap alternative to Blade Splicers. @_@ No doubt BS is better but for a common, esp in limited, this card is pretty nice.
 
I usually hate when they try to balance a powerful card. This creature is no exception. Usually they at least wait a few sets to do it, though.
 
So we still haven't seen any lands in M13 yet. I know we're getting much better lands in Ravnica than Innistrad and M12, but there's still a good chance the M12 lands get reprinted, right? EDIT: Just looked - there's a nice gap between Evolving Wilds at #224 and Plains at #230...

Also, still crossing my fingers to see Dungrove Elder get a reprint...

Unless they do something crazy and make new duals that support the enemy dual lands like in innistrad just like scar + m11/m12 were the same color combos. They probably won't but would still be interesting.

I like the Dungrove. They should definitely keep him in.
 
I've already got my playset of dungroove elders, including a beautiful full frame foil, so I won't be too disappointed if he isnt reprinted. But it would be nice to keep playing mono green in standard.
 
If you could ramp into enough mana, this + any instant speed burn spell would win you the game. Could maybe be a plan B for some Storm decks?

EDIT: Just realized that won't work, since the Instant would resolve before the Worldfire, and make the damage moot.

Once this thing resolves, nobody has any resources left and everybody has 1 life. You'd have to suspend something, tuck something away behind an O-Ring, or use some other clever trick - instant speed burn won't do it.

Yep, it becomes topdeck wars.

But even more exciting because you have to topdeck lands AND the spells.

Barring some planned O-ring or suspend shenannigans, a red burn deck playing this card will likely out-top deck the other deck, especially when ANY burn spell/haste creature will do.
 
Oh shit at Worldfire. Question is: how are you going to get a nine mana cost card out to do that given most decks generally should be focusing on quick beatdowns or land removal to prevent that?

Well, that's why it won't be a playable card. Outside of casual and EDH or something I guess.

It's still lulzworthy
 
Yeah I don't think anyone is hailing that as a new addition to burn in legacy or anything. It's no Bonfire of the Damned, it's just an amusing card that would be great to play, even if you only ever get to play it once in the lifespan of a deck.
