Other than the fact that Champion spiked in price on MTGO in the last week leading up to this card spoiler Making me again believe that People are taking advantage of early spoilers to Insider trade...... This card is amazing and Boros/Zoo human decks could see play in Modern soon.
I agree, as there is now enough support to put them at that "game winning turn-4 play". There is also plenty of recursion and redundancy support that usually makes up other modern decks. Warden in the first tree gives the deck a second turn 2 3 power creature that, surprise surprise, is also a human. If only the new Sigadra wasn't costed the way she is, it would be the perfect curve topper.
Yeah something like this Here is a very very rough idea. I don't like warden because if your spending 3 mana to get a 3/3 why not just run something like KON and get a 5/5+ for 3 mana.
Is the Fold the cult that is responsible for the madness on Innistrad? I wonder.
Also, with Welcome to the Fold, if it were to be discarded by baby Jace at the end of my opponent's turn, could the madness cost be paid even if it's a sorcery?
1st question, doubt it. "Fold" has multiple meanings as a noun - one of those is "a group or community, especially when perceived as the locus of a particular set of aims and values." It's possible that they named their cult that, but... it just sounds kinda stupid.
As to your second question, yeah. Madness cost can be paid at ANY time when the card is being discarded, because otherwise, you technically wouldn't be able to cast non instant/flash madness cards with madness. Ever.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
both seem extremely lackluster - unexciting and weak in terms of power. We got some sweet cards over the last days, but these are just forgetable through and through. I hope we get at least one very nice reprint in this set, other formats need some love too.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Yeah something like this Here is a very very rough idea. I don't like warden because if your spending 3 mana to get a 3/3 why not just run something like KON and get a 5/5+ for 3 mana.

Love the card, and an instant speed Control Magic does magical things in combat.

The curve of Champion of the Parish > Hardened Scales + Champion of the Parish > Norin the Wary + Thalia's Lieutenant makes me giggle.
