I don't know how everyone else feels, but I feel like Bant Aggro getting Jenara, Asura of War is like a kick in the nuts to the meta. Really the only card they really need to run is something like O-Ring that doesn't see frequent play and they can pretty much ride it out to victory. If he stalls an opponent from killing a War Monk for 3 turns, it's GG. And if they follow War Monk with Rafiq, it's GG for you.
I have almost no problem with them printing really powerful or game-altering creatures like Jenara and Pikula. There's a ridiculous amount of good removal in Standard right now. Unless they make a creature that's stupid good AND has shroud or is indestructible or whatever...now that's something to be worried about.
Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
Not to mention this is EXACTLY what Affinity needed in Extended to shoot back up to the number 1 spot. Especially since some decks side out creature kill for artifact hate.

Since, you know, no one plays cheap creature kill in Standard. Terminate, path, terror, shriekmaw etc etc etc
It's true, Jenara is sort of a lame dog both in the pantheon of playable Angels and in Standard. The best 3 color WUG cards have pretty much all been printed already, Giltspire Avenger didn't help anybody win any games outside of Limited and that silly Angel is only going to eat mana that you should have been playing counterspells with.
Meddling Mage is perfectly cromulent however, that guy + Forge Tender is going to take the edge off of Volcanic Fallout and kin, and just generally says "Target player can't play their best spell right now." Sounds like a winner. I'm so stoked that I didn't trade/sell my playset...

Again, I think its a very good card. I just do not think that it will have the degree of impact on the standard environment that a lot of people are thinking it will. thats all. It isn't some super magic win button. Its a disruptive creature. A good one, but it shouldn't be shutting off your opponents entire strategy like so many are claiming he will ("name volcanic fallout lolz" etc)
I think you are underestimating him... Though he should be a great addition to Esperlark with Sculler and Sieze. (and Fulminator? xD)
If he really is confirmed and confirmed with new art, where is the art? I'd like to see this because i bet i can find a whole ton of cards that are in the orb that are not being reprinted.

this card is being reprinted the wording on this card is not like a whole lot of magic cards exceptions being like pithing needle..... so i'm pretty sure he's in.....
He is really going to shine in extended I think, he will see play in T2 but not as much.

Minor nitpick. I can't imagine for the life of me that they would do that, and it is against the rules, but there are no magic police that would arrest them for it. It is their game.
This is the first invitational card to be reprinted (outside of the timeshifted ones), right?
Voidmage Prodigy was a 2003 Player Rewards Promo.
Avalanche Riders was a 2004 FNM Promo.
Meddling Mage was a Judge Gift Program.
Unless you mean the first reprint in a set, then yes, it is the first.

- To my youngest sister when she was 6.
Less than two? Trying to remember when Shadowmoor came out. Didn't we go over this already?
Reflecting Pool was in Tempest and was a rare and was reprinted in a non-core set.

Don't feel bad. He tried to sound pretentious and failed. Not to mention he misspelled Koilos.
Yeah it irked me at 1st but the hell with it. I deleted my post even though I didn't say anything offensive.

But seriously, I wanna sit out of standard until this combo blows over! :/

Maybe.

You are aware that they can't do that, correct?
Not they won't, but that they can't.
Voidmage Prodigy was a 2003 Player Rewards Promo.

DanoLefourbe, that was the question.
wat.
