Is Nahiri's Wrath our last mythic? Kinda underwhelmed if so. Was hoping for more than just a story point card. Hell, should've been the moon or something cool like that.
Probably would have been pushed a bit too much if it could hit players, but I do really feel like it should have.
Hate the art on Campaign, the chick next to Sorin just looks really weird to me, dunno. Card itself seems alright for EDH, otherwise limited fodder, though at 5 cmc not too sure how good it is there either.
The spirit is sorta like an O-Ring that can hit non-permanents too, should be playable.
Nice wrath is nice. Obvious bomb in limited. Combo with madness. Now, where is boros reckoner when you need him? I see a jank kitchen counter deck coming up...
PS: spell queller is quite good too. When they get their spell back, the board state might be that they won't want to cast it anyway.
Hey look, something to do with that Providence that was sitting in your hand...also turns Delirium on very quickly if you have a decent balance of card types. Nahiri's Wrath is definitely interesting: wonder how much the versatility and card disadvantage balance each other out. (Helps that, even though they don't add to the damage dealt per target, discarded lands let you spread the burn around a bit more.)
And that Spirit is delightful. Spirits in general look really fun to play this block, actually.

Now you've got my attention. The Processor idea is definitely on point. Since you're already in those colors, would you try Ulamog's Nullifier as well?
I like that Spell Queller has the old templating so you can kill your own to perma exile the spell.
I don't understand what you mean.
He mean's that in response to the come into play trigger of exiling the spell you can kill your spell queller and the spell is exiled for good.
You can also bounce it back to your hand with Spectral Shepherd to do it again.

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.
so quick priority question, if you exile coco with spell queller, and then they kill spell queller when you have an avacyn out, would she flip first or would they cast coco first?
Spell Queller is absolutely insane! Stronger than Reflector Mage, probably the best card they've printed since Collected Company. This will see tons of play in Standard and Modern, and probably Legacy too. Relatively cheap, instant speed, effective 2 for 1 as long as you stay ahead on tempo. Works great in multiples, as additional copies can protect the earlier ones you had cast. People will end up hating this more than Snapcaster Mage. Oh, and it happens to work incredibly well with aforementioned Collected Company, in a color trio that's already one of the best decks in Standard.
Okay, I thought Nahiri's Wrath said players too for a second and I was super excited but I'm glad it doesn't. Why? Because as much as I love Red that would be ridiculously broken.
Eternal formats: I discard Emrakul and pretty much anything else. Game.
Standard: I discard Emrakul and pretty much anything else. Game.
That could consistently kill on turn 3.

The day I lose on turn 4 when on turn 3 my opponent casts reckoner turn 4 Nihiri's wrath (pitch two Emrakul's) will really make me salty. Would be a janky ass deck, but man that would make me bitter

How does spell queller works with opponent's sorceries, assuming the queller get killed on my turn?
They have to cast it immediately if they're going to at all. So if they kill the spirit on your turn then they can still cast the sorcery during your turn. It's the same thing with Madness on your opponent's turn.

I believe so. Any instant-speed way that gets it off the battlefield should work. Destroy, exile, bounce, flicker.

I feel like the only thing keeping that deck out of serious competitive contention is a lack of decent counter magic.

The opponent still casts it. When an effect says "cast this spell" without any time qualifier, it ignores timing restrictions.
