The effect could be really good if you could drop her on like turn 3!

Why are the uncommons better than the mythic rares.
And is also just a massive wank-fest in Commander.
On SCG.
I like it. Not the hottest counter or everything, but whatever.

Well interestingly enough Bile Blight isn't very good against other mono-black decks, at least if they're running the same creatures as you

Functional reprint of Deglamer. Is there something I'm not aware of regarding the word "deglamer" that kept them from just reprinting it?
The word "Deglamer" sounds Northern Europe-ey, which fits in with Lorwyn, right? Edit: Yeah, Glamer is archaic Scottish. It doesn't sound Mediterranean at all so maybe they just wanted a more neutral Magic-ey name they can use anywhere.

Why are the uncommons magnitudes better than the mythics? Unravel and Blight are immediately standard playable. Tandris 2.0 is immediately Archangel's Light status

To all you flavor nerds: apparently before Xenagos planeswalked to Theros and invaded the pantheon, there were, in fact only 14 gods. The RG god had long since disappeared.
Which is why the RG scryland is called "Temple of Abandon."
Kinda cool.
Cool! I never really put that much thought into the word until just now; kinda cool to see where it came from.

That's really awesome. I want to know if he's still a PW or not.
Call me crazy, but what if the reason Ajani shows up is to take down Xenagos and become the new RG god?

1) There's no way Ajani loses his white side.
2) There isn't currently a WG planeswalker, and one is needed to make players happy.
So a double meaning. But good lord, that's one crappy party.

I keep hearing this sentiment, but didn't DKA have Falkenrath Aristocrat, Sorin, Hellrider, and Huntmaster at mythic, plus Gravecrawler, Geralf's Messenger, and more at rare, and some really sweet uncommons like Lingering Souls?
Why does everyone seem to hate DKA so much? I genuinely don't get it.
DKA had a lot of decent cards but they never seemed to be of high enough value at the same time to make the set worth opening. Maybe it's just that there was no card I felt happy opening and dropping in my binder unlike most other sets. DGM is a pretty horrible set but at least it had VoR to open as well as the slim chance of shocks.

DKA had insane value though. I mean, the shocks in DGM were nice at launch, but unless you opened a VoR after those dropped to 3-5 bucks you were just burning money.
Nah Devour Flesh will still see play as it can still take down whatever creature size and is one of the few answers to a Blood Baron. Bile will definitely see play though.
Totally agree. I'm more excited drafting uncommons at this point lol.

Fate Unraveler 3B
Enchantment Creature - Hag (R)
Whenever an opponent draws a card, Fate Unraveler deals 1 damage to that player.
3/4
Cause Art gets locked in early in development. It seems to be a not-minor problem that they're working to address.
Emmara the healer is 5/7, maybe they work out a lot.
Lets compare this to the Morningtide Rare Grimoire Thief:
-Exiles face up instead of face down (but Thief lets you look at the face down cards) so your opponent always knows what to play around
-Has one less toughness
-Costs UU to use the last ability instead of just U
-Can only counter up to one spell instead of potentially many at once
-Heroic trigger is tougher to activate than Tap trigger
How/why did they make this card? It's strictly worse than another rare (that sees no play) in FIVE different ways. This just feels creatively bankrupt. Did the real hit the bottom of the Heroic trigger well already?
You know, this card wouldn't be so bad if it had Inspired instead. A little aggro miller made unblockable by Bident would've been decent.
Fate Unraveler 3B
Enchantment Creature - Hag (R)
Whenever an opponent draws a card, Fate Unraveler deals 1 damage to that player.
3/4
I would rather just rip draw spells off their hands with Thoughtseize/Duress/Sin Collector but it would be funny vs control if someone got the hag and Burning Earth down lol.
I don't know, but it sure looks that way. I would just keep my eyes peeled for the next Boros Reckoner. He was an under-the-radar second set creature that didn't get a featured spoiler. When people saw him they flipped. I was really pissed I missed seeing him myself, before preorder numbers jumped his price up.
Oh, this gives me hope that the other archetypes are actually decent.
What are the chances of seeing
1RR
Archetype of Rage
Enchantment Creature - Minotaur
Creatures you control have haste.
Creatures your opponents control blah blah blah

A replacement in the three drop spot for Imposing Sovereign now that Inspired exists?
So, Urabrask?
....So Urabrask?
lol exactly. Urabrask is nutsy.
