Getting some real phasing and islandhome throwback vibes from this. It definitely blocks like a champ, but, in typical turtle fashion, is twice as slow as any 5-power attacker. Hey, maybe you can garner an ETBT trigger along the way if you're lucky
Look, buddy, I understand where you're coming from here, but does complaining about it in a forum, opening up the potential for argument really make you feel better? Like, honestly, do you enjoy this? I'm not saying don't complain. Complain away. You want change, you go after it. You don't buy packs. You send e-mails to people. You word those responses well. This is your game as much as anybody's, and you have every right to bring up salient points.
But...does doing it here really make you feel better?

In regards to that actual card, I'll admit to liking it far more than I probably should. I hope to open a few of these come pre-release and release day.
What else can I say? I like big butts, and I cannot lie...

no. speaking with my ******* wallet makes me feel better. stop being sheep and do the same.
How does the Whip of Erebos thing work? It's too late for thinking...
If I am not mistaken, similarly like with Obzedat. It is exiled upon attack, but it has its own way of returning, a delayed trigger that returns it to the field.

Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
Having that high thoughness is kinda strange as attacking will make it unable to block for 2 turns.
The idea of the card seems nice, but it plays out pretty bad ; will still win games for the fact of 5 damage that are fairly often unblockable ; kinda like a "defender" that randomly attacks if you need it.
You get a big blocker, you might get the beats on blue decks and it's very hard to kill even if your opponent doesn't have an island and can block it.
Standard? Somebody will want to have fun with Whip of Erebos or some sort of board wipe action.
This is the sort of $1 rare I like to see. Lets not forget Born of the Gods was filled with truly horrible inspired and tribute rares that are nearly all completely unplayable. This set is looking much better.
If only the card didn't have "next turn" in the text. Then you could somehow make an extra attack phases combo to attack with it on the same turn. But I guess that would be abusing the card too much.
your opinion is not my opinion and i am entitled to mine as much as you are to yours, so if i feel that this set is not in any way satisfying, then so be it, just as you might feel it is satisfying and have every right to be vocal about why you feel its great, i have every right to be vocal about why i feel its not great. this particular card feels like an uncommon. this particular card does not inspire me to spend money on a pack because it is so weak that it will be next to worthless. this card does not inspire me to spend money to draft. this card like most others in this set, says to me that we are resting on the laurels of fetchlands without putting in any actual thought as to the design of other cards in terms of power level. weak cards do not sell packs. when packs do not sell, i have no one to draft with. when i have no one to draft with pods don't fire. when pods don't fire i stop coming to draft night. when i stop coming to draft night so do most people. when people stop drafting the store's bottom line suffers, when the store's bottom line suffers it goes out of business.
this is why i want good cards. this is why i want cards that make the value of a pack greater opened, than unopened. this is why this set is garbage so far.
and i am not the first to say this.
Always this talk about your rights. Yes, you have the right to have your own opinion. But when all you do is whine whine whine and insulting other people here one starts to wonder why you don't listen to your own advice and get out of here and buy groceries instead.
I get it, you like to be heard and you like to throw around your "expert-opinion". But even if that is how you feel you actually come off more as a whiner.
And you want the value of a pack greater opened than unopened? Have you EVER heard about the concept of economics? Supply and Demand?
You are saying that you want to be able to buy lottery tickets that guarantee your money back. Thing is that is a pretty naive proposition since well, then people ould buy them and sell them less cheap.
The cost of the cards in a pack is based on the cost of the packs, not on some arbitrary medium value that you choose and enforce.
Quote me for replies.

right, double check the cost of it, then realize you've paid 85 dollars too much and go buy groceries for the next three weeks instead, or two weeks of gasoline, or 3 nights at the bar, or your electric bill, or your cell phone bill, or any number of things with more value than opening packs with this ***** in them.
15 dollars to draft this garbage or 15 dollars toward anything else? yeah. anything else wins.
Then what are you doing here, discussing this crap set, death of Magic, etc...? Go buy groceries and/or do anything else...
because you might be content spending your parents money on garbage, but i'm not content spending MY money on garbage.
edit: and "what are you doing here" isn't an argument. as a person that enjoys the game, and has enjoyed the game, we are all entitled to our opinions and criticisms of the cards produced. as a consumer of the product, as someone that can and will spend money on this product, any one of us becomes entitled, yes i dared to use that word, entitled to critiquing the product we pay for. if it isn't worth the price of admission, we have every right to ***** about it.
I'm a father and the breadwinner of my own family, thank you for asking...
I am just seeing you post the same thing again and again in most threads, so I meant to suggest you a more effective way of spending your time, especially when you mentioned it yourself

1st, stop being so negative and stop using swearing to show off your anger. You're not creating a positive and reasonable image of yourself to other people reading your posts. Besides, nobody cares if you pre-order this or cancel the pre-order, it's your money so keep it to yourself.
2nd, There are 15 cards in booster pack, if you buy it just for the card in the last slot, magic sealed products aren't quite for you, so just go and buy some singles and save us talking about "unworthy cards".
3th, Every set got "bad rares", recent examples: Journey to Nyx (Doomwake Giant, Bearer of the Heavens), Born of the Gods (Mindreaver, Whims of the Fates), Theros (Curse of the Swine,Titan of Eternal Fire, Akroan Horse). Thus you really shouldn't get packs as there is always something that is not fine for you. Give it a rest and please, don't post it in forums. We aren't sheep but some people like cards like a turtle here, and I'm ok with it as I can get one for my collection and then give some to the kids that play in my arena because, why not? They gonna think it's fun.
What a weird card. This might be my favorite bad rare in quite a while.
Also, watching people who crack boxes complain about the expected monetary value of a set is a little like watching a slot machine addict complain about the odds on the casino's new machine.
Meandering Towershell does have a unique effect. Slow attacking but I can see where this is going.
One turn revival effects like Whip of Erebos is permanent.
Nothing permanent like Auras, Equips, and counters will stick to it. So you can put -1/-1 counters on it like Scarscale Ritual and it'll shed them off. Your opponent can't steal it to attack with it nor Clone it to attack.
Mainly, it triggers enter the battlefield effects. Pandemonium
I like it for EDH. Albeit slow it's a etb effect that triggers Kavu Lair, new ascendancy and some other stuff like mentioned before. Yet itself requires nothing to help it do it and is not a removal magnet at all more off "wtf are u playing this dude?". Shenaningans will be had.
Seems interesting at least, an idea that hasn't been done before even if it is bad. That downside is unplayable without absurd stats (which it doesn't have) or and insane interaction (which we dont have yet).
I will say that this feels way more Abzan than Sultai, so maybe that's a hint that Sultai will have some way to abuse it?

A durdle card to trigger a durdle card. I have a feeling, this wouldn't go very well in an actual game...
