It's okay. The not-green Commander deck will be all about artifacts!

4 Horsemen isn't Egyptian, but Hour of Destruction will likely involve some form of Aphosis considering his whole angle is literally "Serpent of Destruction." I could see Bolas going "Screw you and this plane" and unleashing it after the Gatewatch tries to beat him.
Granted, you'd ideally want Ra to be in the preceding set considering how the two are linked, and Ra is basically Heliod so it might be an issue.
they don't even have opposable thumbs.
What was he like with Ulrich?

As an additional cost to cast ~, return a permanent you control to it's owner's hand.
Counter target spell.
I guess Cancel is too strong for standard now.
Maybe if it were UU? Bounce Snappy back to your hand for all the values.

Deprive and Familiar's Ruse are both basically the card you're talking about, although being given the option to choose would make it much stronger.
I suspect the real reason is that they want this card for Limited to support a U/W "enters the battlefield" archetype, and they don't want it to shape the Standars format.

You do what ? Well let me respond with my Verschwindetrick - Spontanzauber
German is so great sometimes. A Sorcery is also called Hexerei or Witchery.

German is awful. Spontanzauber doesn't even mean anything in German intuitively.
Spontan means impulsive and is only rarely used in the context of spontaneously.
A prerelease promo (timestamped random rare/mythic from the set), a dice, a rather short manual or something like that and a small case that contains all of the above and the 6 boosters you use to make a deck.
Ah yea, forgot to mention they're foiled so their price is in range of regular foils, maybe a bit lower over time.
just one more random question, can the promo card be any mythic or rare in the set or is there only a small pool of selected cards?

Yikes that's a crazy cost to pay.

There's already cancel variants in standard, this is obviously for decks that want to use the extra cost as an advantage to abuse etb effects.
It's an awesome cost to pay if you build around it, such as ETB-effects, and it might even be a card that can be used in conjunction with Demonic Pact.

That actually combos really well with the blue gearhulk.

This is awesome, especially with cards that ETB to generate energy.

That cancel is so bad lol
I get it, but the times you cast it when you don't have something you actively want to bounce are gonna suck. The floor on this card is in the basement.
You probably have to be a pretty aggressive deck that relies on etb triggers for this to be good, and it isn't even that good with Spell Queller.

So it seems red is getting the "exile top card of your library and do X or Y with it until end of turn." I'm cool with that.

Couldn't even give us Vulshock Morningstar. Wizards got equipment fans' hopes up for nothing when they printed Stonehaven outfitter and weapons trainer.
you're cool with red getting garbage cards?
I think its any rare or mythic from the set.

Kaladesh is supposed to be the Invention plane, but Innistradians are outclassing them with shards of broken glass and meat cleavers.
I'm cool with red getting an interesting mechanic besides "deal X damage to something." since land destruction is nerfed and that's all red has going for it.
Even direct damage is getting a nerf now that it mostly can't go to the face. More and more it feels like they have no idea what to do with red.
Its a shitty Morningstar or Bonesplitter, which were also limited cards.

I think R&D correctly identified that super Chandra and Dark Dwellers could easily create an oppressive environment if red is just allowed to have its normal tools. Basically those two cards have sucked up all reds goodness from blocks around, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
it's super restrictive since you need to pay mana to cast one spell to potentially pay mana to cast another spell or whiff. i'd rather have reverse looting.

Green.
I hope this is the case and the red nerfing is temporary. I don't like when they miss stuff and it creates an oppressive environment (Pack Rat, CoCo... ugh) but I also don't really enjoy watching one color be so clearly weak when compared to the others either.
Different limited formats have different demands.
Also, those cards are both from the first time they did equipment, when they didn't understand how to cost them or how powerful they were.

Sweet to see Prophetic Prism reprinted, one of my favorite mana fixers. Rad card. Nice in this limited format with so many cards that care about artifacts. Perfect Shred Negotiation target.
I dont think R&D know how to handle red. Sounds like a bullshit excuse with the current state of green.
Bonesplitter was stupidly good in Mirrodin limited, hence the nerf.
Yep. There's a reason Darksteel Axe was an uncommon even with the nerfed equip cost.

Artifact green is so weird.
