Target player draws one card and you draw two cards? (It's not looting. There's no reason to target someone else and make them loot.)
Gain control of target nonland permanent/creature?
You get an emblem with "Whenever you cast a spell that targets a permanent your opponents control, draw a card?"

Damn yeah, Elspeth is a goner for sure
So 1UR, 3-4 Loyalty? Wonder why they aren't putting him in an expert expansion

I cannot think of any reason why you would template that as "Target player" instead of "You."
To kill someone with a mill strategy?
EDH Nekusaur decks are huge right now.
They said he's Legacy-pushed, so they'll probably see how he does. I think he's 1UR 3 Loyalty
Wow, seriously? That's awesome. Where did they talk about him being Legacy pushed though? Maro's blog?

I hate that this makes sense.
PAX - they mentioned the PW was pushed for Legacy play. (Also, Vintage, given the -2.)

They say its because of how it doesn't really cost anything and it reads weird enough to new players that when they encounter a situation where it makes sense they get a great a-ha moment

Edit: Nevermind, I'm way behind :/
Actually, if pushed for Eternal formats, I could see UR 2 Loyalty.

I just like the name. Card is kind of whatever:

Doesn't look like shit went too well for Xenagos.
The "an opponent controls" clause on Banishing Light makes me sad even though I totally understand why it is there. I always liked the possibility of "getting" someone by forcing them to O-ring something they own, but that's obviously a super feel bad moment for the person it happens to. Sometimes you actually can get value from O-ringing your own stuff, like killing a symmetric effect you no longer want. Those moments are always the best and make you feel super smart. To this day one of my favorite winning plays in a tourney was Detention Sphering my Pithing Needle in a mirror match to let my lethal Aetherling to win the game in extra turns.
Deicide art is so baller.

They didn't want an optional trigger in order to prevent shenanigans under the new tournament rules, I think.
Now we don't have to worry about whether or not he can planeswalk as a God I guess... since he looks like he's going to be pretty dead there.
Which shenanigans would that allow? I assume you mean if it was instead, "You may exile target nonland permanent"?
Yeah, you'd pick and then it'd go on the stack and then you'd have to remember to exile it - once its on the stack it has to happen.

This card is totally sideboardable, maybe even 1 mainboardable. There's not that many artifacts, if any at all, to worry about so running this over Revoke Existence makes sense. Add to the fact that it's instant speed and it has an extra affect when it hits a god? This will see play.
I really like most of what I'm seeing from Journey. Gonna be drafting like crazy to get these cards.

I can't think of another Black spider. Is that the first one printed?
At least he didn't overstay his welcome.
Too bad, he was the most interesting part of Theros. I liked a villain who was more just someone overturning the status quo for fun.

Day of the standard playables. Maggot, O-Ring 3.0, Decide and Weaver (to a lesser, fringe extent) will see play.
I wish weaver was a zombie tho

Well Revoke Existence is a sorcery so this is just straight up better then that.
You can't do this with the new O-Ring either.

Doesn't hit artifacts, so there's that.

I've been driving people crazy with Nyx Assassin jokes during this spoiler season.

Revoke Existence will destroy artifacts too, though.

Control is gonna be such a pain in the ass until rotation.
'Counters' brainstorm if it's discard 2
Edit wait they probably have a card in hand... Idk
That dota spider seems really good
Theoretically you could do it with 3 players who each only control a Banishing Light. But yes, that is a tragedy as well.
Deicide changes things.
I'm no longer considering an Athreos B/W Humans deck, for starters.
I am thinking that Thassa will get a bit cheaper now that she can be answered rather easily by anyone splashing white. Might just finish my playset now that the price will almost certainly drop some. Maybe not much, but it will drop.
And my Orzhov Control deck will depart with two MB copies of Revoke Existence with Deicide ASAP. If you can't beat 'em...

only artifacts that see play are Pithing Needle and Whip/Spear/Bident, which are Enchantments anyways. I don't think Godsend is going to be a thing either.
I think Elixir sees fringe play too.

Someone posted the whole Dack card, but I think it might be fake? There's some questions about where the reddit guy actually got it from or whether its just a mockup.
Its pretty amusing seeing people argue back forth about "I can tell from the pixels."

Guessing it's fake just for that second ability combined with that mana cost. I doubt WotC would print it that cheap.
Hope it's real though.
