MTG Salvation

Thalia's trusty steed!

Vryn Wingmare 2W
Creature - Pegasus (Rare)
Flying
Noncreature spells cost 1 more to cast.
It's the favorite mount of military commanders, as well as anyone with a flair for the dramatic.
2/1

Good creature for the White Weenies 3-drop spot. Makes Languish come online one turn later.

Seems good. Probably not a replacement for Thalia, but it's good in other ways.

Ok white is getting a little bit pushed.

Strictly better Glowrider?

Oh oh! You said the s-word! Watch out for the cleric-tribal people!

technically not better there are a lot more removal spells for flying. But yes Thalia would make a good pair with this horse.

Now, we can really play a White Weenie deck in Standard. Vryn Wingmare seems also good in Modern in W/x hate decks with Thalia.

I'm likely to get more backlash from the human-tribal people!

Thalia got her poney!

Not sure why they felt it was needed. I guess it slows down control and is collectible with company.

I don't like this card....my control deck is crying a little.

Thalia's still better though. 1 CMC more just for flying isn't that exciting.

Another redundant Sphere effect in eternal formats concerns me, although I think this one is weak enough to be OK.

At least unlike Thalia it's reasonable to kill it at a tempo advantage, with cards like Lightning Bolt. Killing Thalia is usually tempo-neutral unless you use fringe cards like Gut Shot.

And it's not even legendary, so it can stack.

Tell me how it's good to pay 3 mana for a 2/1?

Could be a decent sideboard against control maybe? Would a white weenies deck not like this?

For standard, it's very good but not impressive in an agressive shell, but in modern, curving one drop into Thalia into this, is gonna get many people dead.

I can sense people getting hit in Kitchen tables after assembling a deck that starts with
4 of this dude
4 Glowrider
4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

I love it. Unlike with Thalia, you're not getting a lot of body for your mana, but it stacks with her and other copies of itself. That said, not sure if it's good enough for anything but standard. This effect declines dramatically in value from turn two to turn three.

Also, WW is definitely a thing in standard now.

*grumblegrumble* this is not an effect we need more of. >:C

Very good card. Hates on a whole lot of things.

Turn two thalia turn three this hates on the twin deck soo much. Will they ever be able to pay 4RR for twin or 2R at the very least to kill one of these creatures. Also not legendary so things like Phantasmal Image Can bring even more hurt to spell based decks.

I wonder if those who have the flair for the dramatic look like this guy.

Another good white taxer. Now your spells can cost more and you have to pay to attack with the new mythic.

Huh?

White certainly is getting a lot of tools in this set.
