wtf u/r got robbed. it's basically dragonlord's servant. smh

But not nearly as narrow. With Devoid being everywhere I could see this effecting 80% of your deck.

Felidar Sovereign getting reprinted, downgraded to rare.

On the lookout for an obnoxious Mastery of the Unseen deck now.

Oooh I always liked this card.

Dies to Doom Blade, etc. :lol

Maybe a Mastery/Control deck can make it work? That would be something to see.

 

[duxstar]

Always liked Felidar Sovereign, though I don't think this was a constructed reprint, just a really cool card for EDH

 

[Angry Grimace]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";178191176]But they printed a flying mystic snake in better colors![/QUOTE]
I think the condition makes it unplayable. It's completely unreliable.

 

[Yeef]

I actually like the design of Herald of Kozilek in the bigger picture of things. They've been playing up the artifact-matters theme in red and blue for the last few years and it works really well for that. Also, free Ghostfire Blades seems fine.

 

[jph139]

Really like Skyrider Elf. Not a crazy great card, but a cool, funky design.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Or you could build an entirely Eldrazi and artifact deck and have it affect everything. It can even reduce the cost of future copies.

It's odd that they'd make a converge card that's basically just sunburst, but it's probably just a one-off thing.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I get the Elf but that cost/ability design is just some gobbledygook.

Okay really it's just sunburst. Like, the card would work fine if they simply called it sunburst.

I'm guessing there are other converge effects that do different things than +1/+1 counters.

This is the first one that has counters at all

 

[Shuggananas]

Not a fan of the devoid effect, but landfall and rally are neat
Awaken is kinda crappy I feel, mana costs are always super high

 

[Angry Grimace]

Now for that Lotus Cobra downgrade

 

[OnPoint]

Now for that Lotus Cobra downgrade

Why not just be cool and reprint it as is? It's not too powerful for Standard, is it?

 

[Yeef]

Now for that Lotus Cobra downgrade

Cobra of Vigor G
Creature - Snake Druid Ally
Landfall- Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, untap target land.

Let's make Amulet Bloom more consistent!

Why not just be cool and reprint it as is? It's not too powerful for Standard, is it?

With fetches it lets you play 4 drops on turn 2.

Or 5 drops if you happen to start with 2 in hand.Disregard; always thought it was a 1-drop.

 

[El Topo]

Cobra of Vigor G
Creature - Snake Druid Ally
Landfall- Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, untap target land.

That card would be much more annoying that Lotus Cobra.

 

[Firemind]

But not nearly as narrow. With Devoid being everywhere I could see this effecting 80% of your deck.

yeah, but consider the other cards.

3/4 scry engine
3/2 flyer gain a life each turn
give all your creatures double strike, possibly over multiple turns
2/2 flying that can grow bigger

it's not as narrow as dragonlord's servant, but it's narrow.

"Hangarback Walkers you control cost 1 less to cast."

I look forward to seeing a janky brew of Alhammarret's Archive + Feed the Clan + Felidar Sovereign.

I think he's more likely to show up in Jeskai decks. Mastery of the Unseen, Jeskai Charm, Seeker of the Way, Arashin Cleric, Ojutai Exemplars, Soulfire Grand Master, Ojutai's Command, Wingmate Roc. There's a solid amount of life gain in Jeskai colors.

He's completely redundant in that case though. If you actually pop up to 40 off of lifelink, your opponent is either dead or close to it.

 

[Daedardus]

This one is pretty random. Not sure what to think of it.

 

[Angry Grimace]

You forgot Double Eternal Witness

[/quote]

 

[Shuggananas]

The eldrazi is fun
The elemental... eh. Alright I suppose

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm already thinking of a Simic brew with Kiora and Double Eternal Witness. Sultai seems legit so far though.

 

[bigkrev]

The nicest thing I can say about Void Winnower is that it doesn't die to Doom Blade

EDIT: GP Changes (some dates moved, some formats changed.). They changed the prize payout- 1st now gets 10K, 2nd gets 5K http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/2016-grand-prix-updates-2015-09-10

 

[Firemind]

lol we already have den protector. do we really need another one?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I get that "any card" is way better than "creature card," and it sticks around, and attacks, yada yada, but I can't help but compare this mythic to Deadwood Treefolk - an uncommon.

In other words, it really doesn't "feel" mythic.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I don't disagree. I just need to believe.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Void Winnower: I can't even

There is a pretty big difference between Raise Dead and Regrowth.

 

[The Technomancer]

Why

do

none of these

have Ingest

 

[Shuggananas]

"so we made this new fun mechanic called ingest but only 3 creatures have it and they're all 1/1 for 18 mana"

 

[Haly]

Balanced Mana Leak
1U
Counter target spell with a prime converted mana cost unless its controller pays 3.

Not content with teaching people vocabulary, algebra, and finite state machines, Wizards has decided to educate players on number theory as well.

Which I acknowledged. But why Mythic? It really shouldn't be Mythic. It should be Rare.

 

[Firemind]

squirrels really are the bane of eldrazi.

gotta make good mythics even rarer

 

[OnPoint]

Because fuck your logic.

Den Protector's ability is fucking obnoxious though. Getting it twice is sweet.

[bigkrev]

Considering we aren't going to have a playable way to destroy lands in Standard, I'm glad these manlands are a bit weaker than the WWK ones

 

[gai_shain]

I love the new eldrazi, it most likely wont be really played but I love cards that restrict what the oponnents can do

 

[Crocodile]

Void Winnower is just a bunch of random words put on the card. Like what's even the flavor? Give me Artisan of Kozilek any day of the week. Winnower is a card in desperate need of Annihilator if I've ever seen it :/

 

[A Serious Man]

This one is pretty random. Not sure what to think of it.

Finally, the answer to Siege Rhino we've all been waiting for.

 

[bigkrev]

Also from the OP changes announcement- Grand Prix New York is actually in New Jersey.

No idea why they aren't just calling it GP NJ, especially since the last GP NJ had over 4000 players

 

[The Technomancer]

Considering we aren't going to have a playable way to destroy lands in Standard, I'm glad these manlands are a bit weaker than the WWK ones

Than two of the WWK ones you mean. Did anyone ever play one outside of Colonnade or Tar Pit?

 

[Hero]

OT should've been Battle for Zendikar: Everything gets chumped blocked.

hngggh, so good

http://mythicspoiler.com/bfz/cards/hedronnetwork.html


hngggh, so good

Holy shit its real?

 

[Firemind]

and with that the chances of the u/r manland being in bfz diminishes

it will appear in the second set which will drive up the prices of individual cards because of lesser demand and no super mega mythic lands to cover up the expected value

fuck me

 

[Socat]

Holy shit its real?

Apparently so. Well , they did need something to deal with them one way or the other lol

I kind of like it. The Eldrazi are messing up the natural order of the world so much that natural stuff doesn't work but the weird stuff does. Ya know the odd stuff. It is kind of the same joke as Gilt-Leaf Winnower with "square" p/t representing natural beauty.
