Wonder if there will be a new Modern RG or Naya goodstuff.deck pop up with some of the red and green goodies spoiled so far.
Makes me want to brew in those colors for sure.

Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Another important thing from the story: Apparently, Amonkhet had three more Gods in the past, Gods that are now nowhere to be seen...
"And they came as three". Let´s go Eldrazi!
I sincerely hope not. From reading the short piece it would seem Bolas killed/kidnapped three of the eight gods but the eight were all part of the same group. We are missing analogs of three of the most important Ancient Egyptian deities: Isis, Osiris, and Ra.
1 - This card is good. It gives a lot for a little and hits pretty hard.
2 - This is a sloppy design. Not only because of all the keywords but because of the weird added white untap ability. I am really not a fan of "off color activation effects", as they seem tacked on and are almost always janky. They should have just made it Naya colors, Given all creatures haste to get rid of the extra line of haste, and changed the white untap ability to something like vigilance; maybe whenever a creature deals combat damage to an opponent, untap it? Then it would feel a little more streamlined. So in summary:
Samut, Voice of Dissent2RGW
Legendary Creature - Human Warrior (Mythic)
Flash
Double strike
Creatures you control have haste.
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, untap that creature. "I'll fight no more just for the honor of dying. The afterlife will have to wait."
3/4
Occam's Magical Razor applies. The important ones Bolas killed so he could usurp their place.
Yes, I think you're right.
If Nicol Bolas is a Lex Luthor type then getting Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman out of the way so he can mind-control the second tier of the Justice League into being custodians for his scheme is a decent plan.

I agree with your casting cost.
If they weren't in PUSH PUSH mode this would not have the anthem... maybe one less keyword too.
It just makes me tired. Between this and the heavy artifact removal they're making sure (other than copycat) to rub the eraser on the previous block to make Creatures: the Gathering shine mostly the new set.
When I look at all the unexciting cards in the set... then look at the super pushed OP stuff they're revealing late, it makes for a bad set.
What a joke of a pushed bs card. There was nothing wrong with the power level of Madrush cyclops that warranted this kind of hack job.Just a terrible lazy design.
What really gets my goat about Samut is the double strike. Her text box is a mess, but at least all those abilities are largely working together synergistically. And then she has double strike slapped on just 'cause.
The new legend makes a powerful finisher. I don't know uf there will be a midrange gr deck, but if there is this will be in it. I really like the sombie for modern. It has been hurting for two drops to glue it all together. It might actually become a resonable alternative to melira coco. Not an infinite combo, but grave crawler with a sac outlet and one or more of these drain zombies is a very potent finisher. Rhe drake would have been good if copter wasn't banned, but it doesn't line up well, vs heart of kiran.

Seems like Double Strike happens to you, if you have white as a small part of your color identity.
To be clear, there are 41 white card with instance of "double strike" (including multicolor and cards like Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Concerted Effort) and 48 red cards with instance of "double strike" (including multicolor).
Also of note with Samut is that if your opponent puts down the shields ever, a flashed in Samut followed by Verdurous Gearhulk is 18 damage off of what was an empty board.
I really hate that warrior. Never thought I would see the day that I wanted Magic to shift away from creature focused but I'm there now. That card is just stupid...

Oh man this design feels so much better. I think the only thing that could make me like this more is if your design's last ability was instead: "Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may untap target creature or land." which would make having double strike on her extra spicy.

I'm torn... it kills me what a freaking mess Samut is design-wise, but I've been waiting for another Naya commander that interests me ever since Marath was banned in Duel, and Fires on a body definitely interests me.
That Drake. That's Runechanter's Pike, with flying instead of first strike. (Also, man, there are a lot of vores in this block.)
I like how Samut has to pay W for an ability three colors (one of which is green) can do, for EDH players.
Hey! Moar zombie tribal draining! Well, I guess vampires don't make sense on Amonkhet.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Love the drake and the Zombie. Why couldn't it have been a Zombie Cleric though!? Then it could have been best friends with [card]

Predicting now: serious Concerted Effort naya token deck with Samut at the helm.
BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern:
RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
I'm only sad he wasn't just gruul so he could fit in my RG edh too.

But I agree that Samut's text box is really ugly.
