Oh yeah... Coldsnap, the long forgotten third set of Ice Age.

When are they going to print Featherslayer Dragon? Oh, wait, Thundermaw Hellkite. Meh.

Exile target permanent you control, then return it to the battlefield under the control of target player.
Fake edit, it won't work since you have no cards in hand and cannot draw cards.

I loved that artwork before I knew there was a gay goblin in it (because of the hot guy), now it's my favourite gay card together with Guardians of Meletis.
Also, equal-opportunity objectification, which isn't a bad thing.
Looks more like the goblin is yawning. WOW SUCH EMOTIONS.

Also, Doug confirmed that the name of Enthralling Victor is, in fact, Victor ("Vic" for short).
Now that's just reaching.

I'll have you know that Citadel Siege saved my ass against a BG Constellation deck at FNM, prolonging my turns until it went to time. Don't diss the Citadel Siege.
Perfection.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Origins so far just looks like....M16.
i.e. they didn't do shit to commemorate the last core set and just decided to make the set the same garbage where there will be like 4 asshole cards that cost a fuckload from it because they see play and nobody opens Core Set garbage.
Maro plz
Maybe to commemorate they wont print anything constructed playable.

Oh red. Will you ever get another playable mythic?
I keep trying to figure out how to make this decent and I keep failing.There is no good reason that is a mythic.
The problem is that "discard your hand at end of turn" is such a fucking ridiculous drawback, especially for a creature without Flash or Haste. Turn 4 cast this, lose your hand, your opponent kills it, now you're stuck in top-deck mode.

Reprint Comet Storm.
I mean, people would probably play it in Standard as a one or two of.

Haste takes it from unplayable to chase Mythic. What a stupid oversight.

Haste would make it fringe playable, not chase mythic. I wouldn't suddenly be excited about playing it just because it does 4 damage before I discard my hand.

Thinking of one situation:
Right now you cast it and it does nothing until the next turn. Your opponent can then wait until you discard, then Hero's Downfall it.
If it had haste it would swing for 4, making them have to choose between killing it right away to prevent 4 damage, or taking the 4 and Downfalling it pre-discard.
I think if that card had haste it would be super playable as a curve-topper in low-cost aggressive decks that dump their hand fast and look to refuel. As is, it's kind of meh.

I don't really need much to run it. Sidisi, Risen Executioner, and Gurmag Angler are good but it'd be nice to see a solid Zombie on the lower end of the curve. Not really sure Shambling Ghoul is worth an inclusion. I wasn't really expecting it to be a competitive archetype but I thought it'd be fun to run with the same them for my EDH and Standard decks while Whip is still in Standard.

Nobody in their right mind is gonna Downfall that Dragon before it triggers the most detrimental ability in the entire game that isn't Final Fortune. Just take 4, then they discard, then kill it so they have nothing in their hand.
Low cost aggressive decks don't want a 4 drop, especially not one that makes it so you permanently can't play whatever is in your hand. This card is one of the most garbage mythics in the last couple of years, honestly.

I don't know that I agree with you. That thing could come down when the player across the board is in dire straights. Imagine this scenario with Haste.
T1 - Swiftspear, Probe, 18
T2 - Bolt, Bolt-variant, Swiftspear swing, 9
T3 - Skullcrack, Swiftspear, 4
T4 - Dragon, Swiftspear, -1
T2 - Bolt, Bolt-variant, Swiftspear swing, 9
T3 - Skullcrack, Swiftspear, 4
T4 - Dragon, Swiftspear, -1
What do you do in that situation? For RDW or its ilk, that's a reasonable line you might see. You're going to have to cast removal or have answers at some point. The problem is now it's not even a situation that can happen because the card is garbage.
What about Meandering Towershell?

So basically in Christmasland its good. If we gave it a different ability it doesn't even actually have.
The deck you're describing would probably rather just have 4 Rift Bolts.

Well to be fair I call the card as-is garbage in the very post you're responding to. I was responding to you poo-pooing my assertion that they would Downfall it instead of taking 4 if it had haste. I also don't think that's too Christmasland a scenario for a deck like that.
The deck I'm describing WOULD have 4 Rift Bolts. I posted a list earlier in the thread.

lol this hero's blade deck is pure comedy. I goldfished it a few times to iron out the obvious kinks now I'm gonna test it against sultai.
Mulligan any hand without Anafenza or Hero's Blade.

Yeah, but the card is garbage even if it had haste and extra-garbage as-printed.
The card looks even worse when you try and stick it in Modern because there's about a billion answers to that card and burn would never, ever play that card because Burn doesn't play 4 drops. Even in standard, there's no deck that wants that effect that wants to play a 4-drop. Haste isn't what that card needs to be vaguely something you would play in a deck, it needs Flash.
Literally the only scenario this card is good in, even if it has haste, is topdecking it with nothing in your hand.

The one card I would hope for the most but I'm realistic enough not to expect that to be reprinted anytime soon. Actually need one for EDH as well.

I really like this card, its a spellskite for one more mana. Can only hit one spell and has to be cast at the same time, but is potentially a bigger blowout and can hit for one damage
