I've been really happy with Dragon Shield sleeves.
I've been happy with Dragonshield as well, but those new Ultra Pro sleeves look amazing.
Unfortunately availability in Europe is abysmal. I'll ask a friend of mine that is going to the Bologna GP to pick up a couple of packs.

Dragonshields are too large for my taste.

Why would you make a similar effect more expensive?

As per usual with alternate win conditions this seems bad but fun flavour wiseThis is kind of hilarious
If the Second Sun Approach was cast from your hand and you've casted another spell called Second Sun Approach this game, you win the game. Otherwise, put the Second Sun Approach in your owner's library seventh from the top and you gain 7 life.

This and As Foretold. Control is back baby! Each game will go to time. Let's go!

I guess the "seventh from the top of your library" thing is just to make it semi-playable in Limited?

I'm surprised this isn't mythic, seeing as it gives you an alternate wincon. And it's not like they won't print shitty mythics (just look at the last page).
I'm probably gonna lose with this in my deck on gameday. I just know it.
That and EDH, I'd think. Though going 7 turns without your library getting shuffled in EDH seems like it'd be difficult?

I guess maybe you could try to race it back up to the top. Rifle away the top 6 by dropping an Oath of Nissa and then rebounding it, or if you aren't running many sorceries you could hit it off a tutor-for-first-sorcery type effect.
I mean, in the unlikely event someone ran this successfully in formal Constructed they'd obviously just want to cast two copies instead of durdling around trying to re-fish it from the deck.

Wait, it says this game? Not this turn?
That's definitely the least restrictive instant wincon Magic has ever had. Just cast the same 7 mana sorcery (which gains you life) twice.
UW Control with this and Narset sounds kinda cool lolThis is kind of hilarious

Buy Hareruya sleeves in bulk before those get revised too. They shuffle as well as old KMCs if not better - they just break easier.
lol those wacky cards, I don't like them but they are very Amonkhet.
I have only tried new KMC perfect fits and they are awful, so hard to double sleeve properly, once you insert them in the outer sleeve they move around since they are a tiny bit looser. Terrible. :/
I think I'll go Dragon Sleeves next time.
I'll post them in a few days! Still making a few changes.

EDH!
They said they were going to stop worrying about having story cards be pushed, even though a lot of them really weren't, and, uh, that seems like an understatement. Talk about a feel bad mythic.

Well, it's awful but it's cute at least.

Alternately, if I'm reading it right, you only need to cast it "fair" the second time around. The first casting can be cheated in (ie, not from your hand) using the standard shenanigans.
I still think it's too slow and nowhere near resilient enough to build around, but who knows, maybe there will be some draw-go deck that can just kind of casually slide it into their control shell. (Probably not.)

Yeah, KMC has really gone down hill. I'm not a huge fan of Dragon Shield either, honestly. They're not bad sleeves but they been awkward to double sleeve with, they're huge, and I'm not a huge fan of the shuffle feel.
I'm interested in the Ultra Pro Eclipse but less than I had been since a guy in my group got a couple packs and the edges of them were damaged but on opposite sides. They'd be illegal in a tournament since they'd 100% be considered marked. That said, they otherwise seemed to have a good feel and he had to put some effort into pulling them apart (the dude is built hell, too) compared to the new KMC sleeves where they came apart like wet paper.
Oh. Oh no. Oh no no no.

I may be crazy, but I actually think it's playable.
Marvel only helps with casting the first one. You'd still have to cast the one that wins from your hand. I suppose you can cast it for free off As Foretold, but that's a lot of turns to wait.
You can mystical tutor it to the top easily. This looks actually playable in edh.
That's the only way I could see this being played. It works quite well with marvel.
Marvel also conveniently digs 6, so you draw the card the next time.
Sweet, alternate win-con for my Battle of Wits deck.This is kind of hilarious

This is one of those cards that Marshall and LSV will give Fs in their set review and then gush about how they can't wait to play it.

Zombie Angel whatthefuck

Oh there's a better O-Ring angel but I'll take it.
Oh yeah doesn't work the 2nd time around but activates the first and if it resolves digs directly to the 2nd.

That angel is going to really ruin someone's day in draft play.
A rebounding Oblivion Ring is kind of an interesting conceptual space. That really messes with a person's value judgment in how to deal with it, though obviously the fact it's strapped to a moderately dangerous flyer is going to edge it back into the "kill it with fire" column.

Hey, he's still stronger than Malach. Technically, he's middle-of-the-road for a mangel.

There's no way we're getting a cycling Embalm creature. I feel like that's something they would consider too good for some reason.
It would be in blue since supposedly Embalm is the WU archetype in limited. We suspiciously haven't seen any mono blue Embalm creatures yet though

There's nothing really "too good" about a card having both Cycle and Embalm, but they might be reluctant to do it given that both mechanics are full text-block entries on the card, and would be aesthetically poor as a result. Maybe if they didn't feel the need to be fully verbose with Cycling, or if they weren't both mana abilities.
I don't think this has been posted yet?
welp why so many cool white 5 drops?
.......... Definitely didn't see that one coming. There's no way I'm not going to play this card in constructed.
