Whats so broken about it in multiplayer? Am I missing something or do you mean a different card (As Foretold)?
it says "once each turn" so in a game with 5 people...
Expect for that bit with Vecna...
I swear I saw Fate Foretold before quoting. Maybe he editted just in time because I didn't even know about the card.

Niv Mizzet is not a very well thought through character. In OG Ravnica no one was able to stop this guy but a random human.
and the simic actually out mad scientisted his whole guild.
The weirdest part about the guildpact is that Dimir didn't exist for most of the populace. Yet there's an actual document with 10 signatures on it, a literal pillar with the 10 guild symbols and more.
Also correct me if I'm wrong but Sigil isn't isolationist like Ravnica? DnD never made much secrecy of the multiverse like is the case with Magic. If Ravnica embraced the PW hub identity openly it used to be in the past and kinda is now secretly I'd like the setting a whole lot more.
Yeah it's so gonna get a slot in my Zur deck.
I have no idea how to evaluate that card, but that snake is adorable so I'm playing the fuck out of it.
People on the prime material plane generally don't know about the extent of the multiverse and sigil but outside that people have a general idea. Especially on the outer planes

meh just a worse shock with some occasional benefits
Trial of Ambition, Deem Worthy, Magma Spray, Cut//Ribbons all seem playable.
Yeah it was more a sideboard card last time it was legal in Standard.

I think we can make it work. Not Tier 1 obviously, but Tier 1.5 or 2. He's just 1 mana too costly.
Trial feels like a good repeatable edict with the cartouches.
oh I forgot about trial of ambition, that's my favorite one from the cycle. Not sure if the cartouche will see any play, however
Nope, Sigil was the opposite. It was the literal centre of the multiverse, and a hub for trading, commerce and information beyond anything else in existence. Sigil had portals to almost anywhere in the multiverse - some permanent and well know, some random - the Lady of Pain had complete control over all of them. It was the one place in existence where you couldn't have any war, because the Lady would step in and remove the offenders. You even had demons and angels mixing there.
The prime material planes generally didn't know about it, but for the rest of the multiverse it was the central point of everything.
Meh. TBH, anything after Faction War I just ignore. Wizard started to really mess with the setting, to the point where it ruined what was clever about it. It lost the philosophical aspect, and returned to the planes being a high level loot box / dungeon for the normal DnD worlds.
Still, it had a good run!

I would so love if Ravnica was of similar structure.
That's pretty much it but that's much more than anyone from Izzet did.
The black one? probably not outside of limited. The white and red one to bounce the Trials, hell yeah.
Maybe even the blue one. Draw a card and +1/+1 plus flying is a good rate.
I think that Izzet are responsible for power in the city, and Simic are part of the agricultural lifecycle of the city. They design and breed the plants and creatures used by Golgari and Selesna - the agricultural scientists of the plane.
It's a bit of a stretch I know (Why would they be breeding giant airborne ships of war, when the guild pact prevented conflict?

Probably because none of the guilds really trust each other so you gotta be ready. Also science.
Really glad they keep adding value to the bundles.
well, any of them really - in combination with the trials at least. I like fun repeatable interactions but they seem awfully slow for standard. The black trial certainly has potential
the token support in this set is glorious.

Don't know the source, but:
Looks like the Europe MtG community manager's work. (Kirsty is her name, I believe.)
I've seen some discussion about eidolon of the great revel already doing a similar job but better. I know, one punishes activated abilities and the other spells so they don't fill the exact same role, but ah well I'm not a modern player
If you can wait 6 weeks, if wait and get a play set for that price

Hey, he's still Magic's second most powerful and competent ancient dragon manipulative magician guy.
Maybe.
... probably not.

I could dig Niv-Mizzet if they went all-in on him being the Bowser, Jr. to Nicol Bolas.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm totally gonna play both of those cool Sphinx dudes.
Value Blue fatties is a weird concept though.

Ironic that this will be used mostly to name Gideon x)
I cast this.. naming... heart of kiran
No seriously this card will get used against Control decks.
I cast this naming Torrential Gearhulk, get rekt.
OH OH I cast this naming ZOMBIE or ISHKANAH
Zombie isn't a card name.
gg copycat is dead, standard is saved

I feel kind of like that should be UW and not related to Gideon.
Too slow to manage Cat?

Not saying it hasn't been in white before, just that it really does seem like the posterboy effect for UW in specific. It is the most literal form of denial.
And spell-denial just doesn't seem like a Gideon thing at all. Has he ever been able to interact with spells that way on any of his PW cards?
Examples for where this is in blue pls?
