MTG Salvation

Thrun 2.0? Seems playable after Stalker and Geist rotate out. Good paired with Voice of Resurgence to really deter instant speed stuff.

Design feels lazyish.
In standard and modern, probably sees play.
In eternal formats, blue and black are probably just going to ignore it and win the game, or drop an edict. or counter it.
Kinda liked sable stag better

Wow, WOTC. Tell us how you really feel about counterspells and removal...

Will definetly see play

Well it doesn't regenerate so It cant be nearly as resilient as Thrun. The card is fine but nothing insane. probably will see as much play as Wolfir Avenger with some added sideboard value. The only way it will see more play is if hexproof-aura decks continue to be a thing.

So it's our Dungrove Elder/Voice of Resurgence variant? Ok. I don't see this being too threatening, though it'll probably see some fringe play. It's not half as threatening as either of those two, at least.

That artwork.
Nice card also!

Bant Hexproof might want this.

Notably gets pumped by flipped Mayor of Avabruck for the next three months.

It can be countered, unfortunately. Skylasher is probably my choice over this.

I am getting sick of all these anti-control cards. If this is a sign that blue/black will be getting some sweet and much needed love soon, I am fine with it. However,I do feel like WG is being forced down our throats these days...

This is a card with hexproof that I can get behind. It is good enough to be useful, but not game breakingly annoying.

I really hope this is a cycle similar to our old Combust, Autumn's Veil, etc. cycle. If this is just 2 colors getting hate cards.....that really makes me sad.

Wow, that art. Why is its head so huge, and its legs so stubby? Really strange.

Is it just me, or does this feel kinda counterintuitive? His ability is triggered on spells being cast by opponents on your turn, but most spells, particularly of the color it needs, are likely gonna need a target. Granted, not all of them, but a large chunk. Meaning unless you have another juicy target your opponrnt will just wait it out and work around...and he doesn't seem terribly difficult to work around. I dunno, I want to like him, but I'm just not feeling it.

Please go back and look over what has been spoiled for black and come back to the conversation. Black has spoiled some sick junk. Let's just try to even out the playing field a little.

Look how ****ing big its head is it's down right laughable.

Yes! More hate on black! Feel the racism!

Sarcasm if you people don't catch it.

WotC, bring back Diabolic Edict. kthxbai

Oh yes. First they make uncompetitive Dimir cards in RTR block.
Then- oh yes, there's more- then they obviously are too strong. So they release both Voice of Resurgance and this into the same standard environment.

Clap clap clap wizards. Absolutely terrific work there.

Enough with the pushed hexproofers already! :-/:rolleyes::thumbsdown::mad:

Mold Adder has a big brother it seems. Limited beater for sure, since he is going to be hard to kill but not much else I would imagine.

Looks really cool for Standard, but lacks for Modern play (B/U spells on your turn=slow). Might be thrown in a Bant/Boggle enchant deck. It will be a creature to watch, but it will not be e chase rare due to the mana cost, and weak possible pump.

Meh, not all that playable. It is basically a 3/3 for 3 mana that control has issues with (but even then, wrath, and you are fine). Usually 3 drops come down slow enough that control can counter them (besides GoST because that deck was mana dork heavy, and this is no Geist). It would be more playable if it had the Experiment One clause, but I am doubting this will see much play.

This guy is actually really good, side board straight up.
