I just realized Insult // works against Gideon. If unpreventable damage is dealt to him in creature form he loses loyalty. It makes a single tower activation lethal.

Wizards of the Coast finally listened to my letters.

And, as always, the WotC card list doesn't seem to want to update for me immediately. I really don't get it.

Seems incredibly powerful for limited. Like "tap out and win the game if they don't answer it" powerful.
I was about to post it too. That feels rare, not uncommon.
EDIT: Also,
I know Merfolk Looter is busted AF, but man....
Yeah, that'll be one of those that "well there was no way I was going to lose except..." cards.

Holy fuck this is going to be a pain in the ass.

I feel like I'm reading through the set about one minute behind everyone else.
This card is nuts. It's like, Delver good.

Lol. An uncommon Bird is more standard playable than most angels
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
Bonepicker seems real good in limited.
Mix it with some removal, and you kill one of their creatures and then get a 3/2 flying deathtouch for B.
edit: Dang, ruthless sniper is pretty great too, get more value out of your cycling, if a bit limited.
Green God says 'whaddup', lol.

It seems interesting. It has delver comparisons but as we all know, delver of secrets is a better card since it's easier to turn on. Still this triggers off of any creature dying which is huge.
How the hell is this not a rare?

Another limited nightmare I'd imagine. If you don't have a guy with deathtouch, you basically have to multiblock it to kill it. God forbid someone gives it trample or first strike.
Reminds me of good ol' Plated Slagwurm. Loved that card.

They have to save the rare slots for blue bombshells like Conjured Currency and Search the City

Yeah, Open into Wonder seems pretty absurd at uncommon. It's a finisher, it's reasonably priced card advantage that also lets you smash face.

Yeah, brutal. I know its been a number of years but I'm still a little salty, cards like this should have shroud, not hexproof.

Cowl Prowler was playable in AER/AER/KLD since it was so hard to kill. This guy will be an absolute bomb uncommon.
I don't think they do shroud any more.
VINDICATED
For Ash, only equipment.
Turn two this, turn three always watching makes it a 4/4
Can I just say this feels really pushed for a common? You've already got a bear here, but you can exert it to turn into a 3/3 flyer? I was imagining an exert bear to get either +1/+1 or an ability, not both.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

We had something similar in Battle for Zendikar and it never did all that much despite being a 7/6 and having Trample. Guess why?
Because it was triple green in a format where green was terrible and there were a lot of bigger, colorless creatures that could tangle with it.

BTW that crocodile says FUCK YOU CRAW WURM
In a format where green was trash tier you did not want a triple green card either.

Agreed. There's a lot of interaction between cards, and a lot of effects to activate.
I haven't played Magic in a good long while, but this G/B -1/-1 counter deck sounds like fun~
Green's looking pretty good for Amonkhet limited, with all the undercosted fatties it's getting because of -1/-1 counter shenanigans. And GG is way easier to cast than GGG.
If my rare isn't any good, I'd have no problem p1p1 this thing, if only so that I don't have to deal with it on the other side of the table.
Release Notes
Haha, look at this rule in the release notes for the new Gideon:
Haha, look at this rule in the release notes for the new Gideon:
Other circumstances can still cause you to lose the game. You will lose a game if you concede, if you're penalized with a Game Loss or a Match Loss during a sanctioned tournament due to a DCI rules infraction, or if your Magic Online game clock runs out of time.

I mean it can only attack every other turn (as a flyer) so shrug? Seems worse than say Topan Freeblade more often than not?
Yavimaya Wurm already did that YEARS ago

Yeah this will cause some flipped tables
Holy fuck
This seems good but not crazy?

This is why embracing the storyline/Turmblr/shipping crowd is a bad thing and should never have been done.
