It could be (as an invocation). If not, probably in eternal masters 2 next year.

Real talk: I hope that Prowling Serpopod is a sign of better countermagic in this set, because otherwise it's just random "Screw Blue Even More". Like, I don't know how we went from Dissolve to Disappearance Act for counters.
Also would kill for a non-Masterpiece reprint of Horizon Canopy/Aether Vial in the near future. Both really just need one more medium sized print run to knock them down to not stupid numbers.

The gf me and for herself a theme magic deck and a toolkit.played magic for the first time days ago and I got a lot to learn! Will stick to this threat for the long run
Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. We love to complain, but we are a welcoming bunch.

Scrap Trawler is a stupid card in EDH. Combined with KCI and some form of artifact cost reduction you're just churning through your graveyard and library.
The egg deck I'm building hardly requires Mom and Dad but they do help. Especialy disgusting With skullclamp.

I don't see them ever bringing Storm back to standard. As others have said, it'll likely have to be in a supplemental set.

He's right, you know.
Oh I meant as an Invocation, although I guess an Invocation really wouldn't drop the price of the regular one lol. But yeah, hopefully it sees a regular reprint soon in a supplemental set.

Just traded in a bunch of cards to get the parts for legacy burn, modern turns, and Jeskai control. I really needed to sell out of some modern decks because I never play them. Now I'm just down to...well still too much.
The turns deck is awesome. It does cool stuff like draw alot of cards and cast big spells.

Oh that I could totally see. Would be fitting for them to put it out as a crappy, unreadable Yugioh card instead of something widely available and/or desirable.

First god:
I'm...not sure what I think. It's certainly less flashy than the Theros gods tended to be. Not saying it's bad (it's potentially quite good) but seems less likely to get casual players excited.

Seems bad to me.

Hazoret is so boring and that's being nice. The card is creatively bankrupt, almost like they brainstormed and took the first 2 things that were mentioned.
I have no plans to really buy any of this new set, but I have to come in just for another Kev Walker crocodile. It's like Emperor Crocodile never left us.
Red God is wonky and probably terrible, but I could see it going in a RB Madness EDH deck. It's no Purphoros, that's for sure.

If RDW is a thing Hazoret could be the curve topper as you hand should be nearly empty by then. I agree with the others saying he's boring as hell though.

People called Romanes they go the house?
That Red God is......pretty eh?.
It kinda sorta goes along with Red Burn as a potential finisher (with player-only shock), but even for draw-go burn decks, that feels pretty limiting.
Lol, too true. But I'm kind of curious now as to what the other color gods will have as 'limitations', now, since devotion must be Theros-specific or something.
Cartouche seems decent for a white deck, first strike could be important early.

I think you are undervaluing Hazoret. The card is boring but very strong.
Yeah, it's not like Purphoros is good or anything.

Cartouche of Solidarity actually looks like a reasonable limited card as far as auras go.

Kruphix and Nylea were very tame, Thassa was only ever good in standard. Purphoros is the strongest or 2nd strongest after Keranos across formats.

It's good that they've finally acknowledged that the way a zombie acts isn't actually black at all. Next step should be green and/or red zombies in another setting.

Exactly. She's a beater that can't be destroyed while also being a (relatively expensive) discard outlet that can burn out your opponent. It's very "red smashes face" and very dull as a result, but it should be effective.
Frame is so bad that it read Hazoret the Pervert lol
Aaaaaaand now that's all I can see.

I'm a bit confused about why this is the way it is. I mean, I like the split/name focus, but.. why is the Pump Instant while the can't be blocked Sorcery, and how is can't be blocked in Green now?

I mean, you can try. I'm a bit doubtful that there's enough for that to really work though, especially in mono-red.

Delirium will be so trvial to activate if just one spell in these colours is playable.
it's lure
Simply Sarah

It's must be blocked not can't be blocked. It's a Lure effect which has been green since forever. Also, it's a sorcery because there's almost no value to ever triggering that sort of effect at instant speed and it would only lead to confusion with people trying to cast it during Declare Blockers or something.
