The art is just showing what it feels like to get got by Daze.

Glad we get more opportunities for the joy of Dazing someone followed by them playing a land, embarrassed.

Is Daze even good in Limited? I don't even know.

It's the type of card that you shouldn't pick unless there's nothing else. It's almost certainly going to be overrated and taken 3-6 picks higher than it should be, which means that most of the "good" players won't ever play it because they won't see it. It's the type of card that you need a really good reason to put in your deck.

EDIT: Wait, Ad Nauseam won GP Charlotte? Modern is literally chaos right now.

 

[red13th]

so I guessed one Mythic right already, I'm 100% so far.

 

[Santiako]

New spoilers out, I'm on mobile so can't link. Necropotence (m), deathrite shaman (r), bloodbraid elf (u), sneak attack (m).

 

[red13th]

Sneak Attack and Necropotence mythics, 3 out of 3, 100% Mythics still. heh!

 

[GregLombardi]

Love the necro art. I want a foil.

 

[red13th]

It's the same art from FTV, I like it too.
That Bloodbraid Elf... I think I still prefer Steven Argyle's.

 

[A Serious Man]

We also have this, although the actual preview isn't up yet.

 

[El Topo]

That Sneak Attack.

 

[GregLombardi]

We also have this, although the actual preview isn't up yet.

Are we returning to 6th or 5th edition or something? haha, at least, that's what it reminds me of.

 

[Santiako]

That looks like goblin settler. Please be uncommon.

 

[red13th]

Settler or maybe Lackey.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Love the necro art. I want a foil.

Sarcasm?

 

[OnPoint]

I wouldn't mind affordable Sneak Attacks. Wonder what big dumb guys we will get in this set to support it.

 

[ironmang]

Sarcasm?

They probably want a true mtg foil, not a FTV warped ugly foil.

 

[GregLombardi]

Sarcasm?

I didn't know about this! It is okay to not know all things.

That said, yes, I would prefer one from this set.

 

[red13th]

The team did a lot of research about which cards hadn't been reprinted before, especially in newer frames and in premium form. The focus for this set was on making sure that it was chock-full of old-school "goodies" while also creating a fun and nostalgic Limited environment.

I love this omg.

EDIT: Goblin card is Belcher

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

On the bottom of what am I supposed to put the exiled cards?

 

[Santiako]

On the bottom of what am I supposed to put the exiled cards?

Oops

 

[WanderingWind]

Off to a great start.

 

[Santiako]

Jace The Mind Sculptor also at mythic. Nice

 

[red13th]

Jace TMS, 4/4, 100% still!

 

[OnPoint]

Unban Jace in modern!

 

[charlequin]

Forsythe is on the design team, so he probably drilled pretty heavily back into the first draft of the Time Spiral timeshifted cards, before they made them Standard legal.

 

[Santiako]

Nimble mongoose at common. Awesome!

A shit this will wreak havoc in pauper.

 

[WanderingWind]

Hot damn.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Oops

it's the original text, I just never noticed it doesn't reference the library in the last part.

 

[An-Det]

Nice to see Nimble Mongoose in the set, lots of good times with it. Also fucking finally with jace, now I can more reasonably look into picking up the final two that I need.

 

[ironmang]

 

[GregLombardi]

BEATEN

 

[Santiako]

Gamble at rare, they are on fire today.

 

[ironmang]

 

[ultron87]

If they aren't blowing their load entirely today this could be a pretty sweet set.

 

[An-Det]

Goblin Charbelcher is in.

[G.ZZZ]

We just need port seriously. The rest is all gravy.

 

[Infinite Stars]

Ugh, Ad Naseum won GP Charlotte, meaning it's time for it to show up fucking everywhere now. Time for me to tilt even more, considering the deck is my worst matchup.

It's going to be the best set you'll never be able to buy.

Every time I look at that deck I think it's absolute trash. I don't understand how it keeps winning.

 

[An-Det]

Who spoiled this one?

 

[red13th]

Loving the set so far.

 

[ultron87]

It's going to be the best set you'll never be able to buy.

Can draft it twice or play sealed for 100 dollars at a GP though!

 

[ironmang]

We just need port seriously. The rest is all gravy.

There's so much potential value and reprints. There has to be an EMA2 down the road somewhere. Would love to see Karakas, Port, and Imperial Recruiter but even just those 3 seem like too much in addition to what's already spoiled.

Who spoiled this one?

top level podcast which is apparently chapin's

Every time I look at that deck I think it's absolute trash. I don't understand how it keeps winning.

Running hot probably has a lot to do with it. It's not a deck that's constantly around the top tables so I doubt it's one that's at all consistent. If you run into people keeping paths and bolts then it's pretty easy mode.

 

[red13th]

Sylvan Library is in!

The last time someone did really well with that deck it was later determined that they were habitually cheating, which fits really well with my internal narrative that Ad Nauseam is a shit deck for shit people :lol

Spoiler

present company excepted of course, should anyone here play that deck

 

[Santiako]

I love all the cards spoiled so far.

 

[GregLombardi]

Where is LSVs / CFBs spoiler?

Mega bomb incoming?

 

[bigkrev]

Wow, why do they hate Damnation so much that they are never going to reprint it?

 

[Infinite Stars]

It keeps winning because no one expects it game one and then game 2 they Slaughter Pact your disruption(Thalia, Canonist. Eidolon of Rhetoric, Leyline of Sanctity if they have enchantment removal), then Angel's Grace to avoid the payment, followed by then drawing the entire deck, pitching SSGs for red to cast their kill condition.

The issue with playing against it is that you have to counter Ad Naseum if you want to beat them on the stack, otherwise they just draw everything. If you don't fight on the stack, oops they get to kill your disruption and go off.

Playing against it is the most frustrating thing ever, because it's like Twin's "I'll go off on turn 4" Threat, but with none of the ways to interact(Path, Pridemage, even Rakdos Charm)

Glad I picked up two textless Damnations at DC the other month.

There is no guarantee it isn't being reprinted here, is there?

 

["God's Beard!"]

To be fair, Toxic Deluge is significantly more popular in Legacy.
