The thaumaturge makes me excited for the event deck. Thief is interesting. The Eidolon of Rhetoric is meant for modern, and is better than I thought at first... pod anyone?

Huh. That might be the creature heroic needs to become tier 1.
Heroic needs Rancor to be tier 1, not this.
All in all pretty boring cards. The mage might be abusable in modern but standard just screams overextending. The best one is honestly the 1/4 Rule of Law.
I can't believe anyone is excited about this card. It is absolutely unplayable. I wouldn't even play her in LIMITED. Easily the worst walker printed since the green elf one. Absolutely terrible.
Wow battlefield thaumaturge, weird name, ridiculous ability, especially with all the strive cards.

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
The Thaaturge seems insane. The Thief might be exact card that BU Heroic needs. They reprinted an Ethersworn Canonist that doesn't die to Lightning Bolt, but you might be dead already.
Thief and Thaumaturge are both pretty neat. Living Rule-of-Law is a predictable but solid design. Not a great batch, but good casual appeal and brewing possibilities.
Irrelevant. You didn't know what strictly better means, but you saw some cool people use it, so you went with it. Now you want to save face by aggressively turning it into a discussion of whether or not the charm [Dimir Charm] is standard playable, which is an altogether different discussion. Very transparent, zero points for trying.
The article is wrong about the Thaumaturge right? If you target 3 opponents creatures, your two Thaumaturges and his face, you have X be 10 but you can assign 0 to your two creatures right?
I like the edilon in Vintage. Mono white can now run this with Spirit of the Labyrinth, Rest in peace, Stony silence, ETC and probably Serra's sanctum. Relevant effect in the format too.
The Thaumaturge may be better than we are giving him credit. I like that he makes dismember a pitch spell along with Apostles Blessing, but i am sure there are some really good uses for him.

Thaumaturge is crazy. Man, if only he worked for Auras too! Hopefully we get a few more nice Strive cards along the lines of Launch the Fleet.
