Its actually less good against Deathmist Raptor than you might think since pretty much every Deathmist deck has Den Protector and you can flip and return them to the battlefield in response to the spell. Removing a Deathmist that's randomly in the deck somewhere isn't terribly amazing, really.

Don't get me wrong, it sucks, but it's not like a hoser or anything unless you play 4x of them and manage to play them back to back to back to back. It is the equivalent of getting your spell countered, except way more narrow.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how the mulligan rule change helps people flip Delver at all.
Edit: Ah, I see, you're on the play, that makes sense.

Hi guys, a newbie question or two;
In the new set coming next month, these cards are going to be in it, with a front and back already printed;
Does that mean you NEED sleeves for your deck if you have these in it?
And how many planeswalkers can you have in a deck, anyway?
I dabble in MTG, but mostly for the collecting aspect, a local shop opened near me that does FNM, so I was interested in giving it a try and making my own Green/Red deck. As a plus, I also wanted to add the above card to it, so I was gonna preorder however amount I need.

I guess if you're on the play, you don't draw the card, so you just leave it there if its Serum Visions and then play Delver T1, and then flip him T2.
They come with a companion card that is a "checklist" card that has a regular Magic back. You just keep the real card off to the side. You can also just play it in opaque sleeves and flip it manually in the sleeve, which is what most people do that I know.
Yes, you would need sleeves. You can have as many planeswalkers as you want in a deck, but you can only have 4 of the same card in a deck.
Agreed. That said, it is in a color that doesn't have counters and it replaces itself which is nice. The fact that it's relevant against the Deathmist+Den Protecter combo, CoCo, and a few other things means it'll be present somewhere in a lot of decks that run white. Tainted Remedy is probably the least likely to be played of the three cards that cause problems for Whip but it could see play if forms of life gain like Mastery of the Unseen or Whip become more prevalent.
You don't need sleeves as you can use the checklist card like Angry Grimace pointed out. It would be recommended to use sleeves though as they protect the condition, and hence the monetary value, of your investment in the game.
Moonlight isn't that great against Raptor because Raptor's ability is a may. So it won't ever get exiled by Moonlight (if the controller knows what they are doing) and will just hang out in the yard till the next time. I mean a cantripping Stifle is still good, it just isn't the huge blowout it is against something like Collected Company.
It is pretty nuts that it cantrips, honestly. Makes it totally reasonable to use against so many things.

It doesn't touch life totals so it would take quite the player uprising to put it on the chopping block.

So we've still got two mythics (B & U), twenty rares, and a random disappointing land cycle left to reveal. What's the next "classic" Magic card to be made in a slightly worse form? Green still has a lot of rares left to reveal whereas Red probably has, at most, one more. The third blue mythic might just by Ahmamaamamdamdingaling's Archive I guess and then we have one slot for a Black themed card and one... artifact?

I think the disappointment is that people expected something different than "lol core set." This is just a regular core set with the same amount of useless crap as every Core Set and just barely enough decent cards someone will crack a few packs.

Thankfully in my group only one person still runs Wanderer and he uses it for dragon tribal. It's actually kind of fun to play against.
Oh, I wasn't criticizing the set. It's fine for what it is and it's got some nice flavor to it which is cool. I was really just curious what sort of things you guys expected from those last few slots.

Now that's a reference I can get behind. Of course, you have the incorrect image. It should be the Ice Age version.

The biggest reason I'm disappointed in the lack of Allied Painlands is the inability to use Ice Age Phil Foglio Sulfurous Springs.
I'd totally forgotten the pain lands were in Ice Age. The different formatting made me think of the Ice Age lands as this weird separate thing. Fuck. That's legitimately disappointing for some odd reason.

What I love most about Ice Age lands is that of the two dual color cycles it's the depletion lands that made it on the reserve list.

That seems weird that they'd mix prizes for two different circuits like that. One would think it would make sense to have those as separate events just to bring more people in.
Hi guys I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions here, I've played the DoTP 2014 intro and read up a bit a little while ago, so bought a set of duel decks to play with a friend.
Firstly, I attacked with a 3/2 monster and he chose to block with a 5/5 one, I then used this instant
Does this mean it instantly sacrifices his 5/5 creature and my damage goes through onto his health?
Secondly, I played this card
I choose the X value right? So I can use 0/1/2 extra mana for 0/1/2/ white Angel creature tokens?
I don't actually have 'tokens' that are white angels in the duel deck I just got two 1/1 soldiers, do I need to use something else as tokens?
Also does this card stay on the field the same way an enchantment does and then you can choose to cycle it when you want?
Finally he used a card, I can't remember that 'returned target creature to owners hand', if he does this to my tokens can I resummon them or what happens since they never really had a direct summon cost?
Apologies if the wrong place but we had a lot of fun for a few hours but just struggled with a few things, didn't even use the two planeswalker cards as we haven't read up on how to use them yet

1. You don't deal damage to the defending player, unless it had trample. since it was blocked it deals damage to the blocking creature (or to nothing if the blocked creature leaves the battlefield). Trample changes things a bit.
2. You choose X (if you cast the spell X=0 does nothing and you pay 2WW, X=1 makes it cost 1+1+2WW, so 6 mana for an Angel). Sorceries go to the graveyard, you do what the text tells you to do (put tokens onto the battlefield) then put it on your GY.
3. Tokens that leave the battlefield cease to exist, bouncing (returning it to owner's hand) basically kills the token.

Can't see those cards at work, but I'll make a guess.
1. A blocked creature is still blocked, even if the blocking creature is gone. It doesn't deal damage to the defending player unless it has trample.
2. You can pay any amount of mana for X, yes.
3. You can use anything you want to represent tokens, as long as everyone knows what it is. You can use dice, for instance.
4. Cycling can only be done from your hand.
5. Tokens are erased from existence when they leave the battlefield--only cards can exist in other zones. You can't bring them back.
Cheers guys that clears up alot
In the first instance would his 5/5 kill my 3/3 or whatever and then be sacrificed or his 5/5 is sacrificed but my 3/3 still does no damage?

Combat has three steps:
1. Declare attackers
2. Declare blockers
3. Combat damage
If you cast the spell between step 2 and 3, then your creature will survive, since the blocking creature will die before combat damage happens.
He would sacrifice his creature before damage is dealt. Your creature would only do damage to him if it had trample.
Yes, you choose the value of X. In this spells case, however, it has XX as a cost, so if X= 1, you would get 1 Angel and would pay a total of 4WW (2WW + 1 colorless for the first x and + 1 colorless for the second X). If you wanted 2 Angel tokens, X would equal 2, and you would pay 6WW, 3 Angels would be 8WW, ect.
And you can use anything as a token- beads, dice, Amiibos, whatever. The token cards are just an easy way to tell what is what.
No, Cycling is an ability that comes from your hand. Decree of Justice is one of the most complicated cyclers, here is a more simple one.
Cycling means that if the card is in your hand, you can (as an instant) pay the cycling cost, discard it from your hand, and draw a card. Decree has a trigger that occurs when it is cycled- you first pay 2W, discard the card, and then put the triggered ability on the stack. Then, you may pay X to create X 1/1 tokens, and then the cycling trigger resolves, and you draw your card.
Tokens, if they would be moved from the battlefield to any other zone (ie, your deck, hand, graveyard, library, command, exile), they are exiled (removed from the game). If an effect would kill a token, it goes to the graveyard just long enough to trigger anything involving a creature dying before being exiled. (example: you have an enchantment that says "When a creature you control dies, draw a card", a token being killed by a Lightning Bolt would trigger that enchantment, even though the token is exiled instead).
So in this case, if they bounce your token, it's exiled instead.

[/QUOTE]Cheers, I thought that, I did declare it once he declared his blockers but then I wasn't sure as since he never really blocked so to speak if my guy was free to attack but thats not true without trample then, cheers
.Cheers as above

Thanks for the reply although slightly confused now, what is WW exactly
?How I interpreted the card when using it was it cost 2x any mana + 2x white mana and then I could summon two Angels if I paid an extra 2 mana (one for each X), obviously this is wrong, so I need to pay 2 mana extra per Angel I wish to summon and I can summon as many as I want/possibly can?
Cheers, my mate just ordered that today haha, think he's hooked and they're really handy for just us two spending a few hours in the afternoons playing, was a lot of fun despite guessing some of the rules.
Thanks for all the incredibly fast and helpful replies by the way guys

Technically, a token that leaves the battlefield ceases to exist entirely as opposed to being "exiled."

WW is 2 White Mana. W is short for White, U for Blue, B for Black, G for Green, and R for Red. So if someone says a card is 1UU, they mean it costs 1 colorless mana and 2 blue mana. Similarly, if someone says they are playing a "UW Control Deck", that means a control deck that is both Blue and White, "RG Aggro" is a Green-Red aggro deck, a "Bug" deck is Black-Blue-Green, ect.
And yes, you can make as many angels as you want, as long as you pay 2 for each one.
