MTG Salvation

It does not deflate even on the opponent's turn

Yes, your red mana will be able to float as long as Leyline Tyrant stays around.

Sounds like the old Omnath, Locus of Mana wording and that means that the answer is 'yes, you retain mana across opponents turns'. Not a judge, though. Interesting to see that effect in red.

lol Braid of Fire

Oh that’s the red omnath the teaser talked about


your pretty much building up a nuclear bomb with the unspent mana

Holy moly, that's a spicy mohawk reptile. It'll obviously find home at least in EDH.

I guess getting cheaper is the last thing Braids of Fire is gonna do

someone used polymorph on a comb

This is pretty great. It's a relatively affordable dragon that can act as a living time-bomb or act as slow ramp to help you afford more powerful dragons.

Also, it seems that our mythics include 5 lands, 3 walkers, Omnath, Drana, Tazri, Moraug, Stormcaller, This... and presumably a green mythic. I'm pretty cool with that.

i like him, he's pretty solid.

Card effect is broken, fortunately it can be responded to.
Name of the card screams "cycle !", right ?

you can just shoot it with path to exile it won’t trigger


(It’s a die trigger and not a leave trigger)

Look, it's a flying border wall!

Seriously though if you are reading this thread and you ever thought about owning one, you may want to go pick it up today--it's probably about to see a price bump because of this guy.

Plays well with Irencrag Feat.

Yeah the mana sticks around.

For reference it's the same wording as Omnath, Locus of Mana.


This seems like it could potentially be a red staple in edh. It's not hard to get value out of this. Also it very quickly fills your pool to the point where killing it with be lethal.

I love this card. It's a very interesting design, and also helps 'save up' for things like kicker costs and blowout X spells. All while threatening to drop a bomb if it dies. It could have easily been costed at 4RR or higher, I'm glad it wasn't.

Elegant design, costed very aggressively, and will be fun for casual and potentially even competitive.

Seems like the chase mythic of the set so far. Should start at $20,pre-order. We'll have to see what shell it fits into.

Was $15 when it first showed on eBay, so I wouldn’t spend more than $10 for a regular copy.
It’s really good, but it can’t win the game on the spot like Fiery Emancipation can,
and that card isn’t $30 yet.

It's €10 on Cardmarket now. Scourge of the Skyclaves is still €16, but likely still going down, too new.

The most expensive card, at nearly €12 (and it had long enough to stabilize) is Nissa of the Shadowed Boughs.

Incidentally, there do not seem to be any real Rare chase cards. Likeyl the Expeditions are going to depress the value of this set immensely.

This looks good enough for Constructed, untap with it in play and unless the opponent has exile removal at the ready you're looking at 4dmg for 4 mana at the very least, which is decent,and a second untap is brutal, not to mention the cost is acceptable for mono-R decks as a curve topper, and as an awesome topdeck if you're flooded. I can see it sharing the 4-drop slots in Mono-R with Torbran.

You can fairly easily factor in the Expedition lands (as most are not really expensive, beside the heavy hitters of course).

The suppression factor is about 0.3x , so the non-expedition cards are reduced in value by that factor, without the expeditions the cards would more or less cost a factor of an additional 0.3 more.

Chances are that lots of the expeditions will go even more down in price and the heavy hitters most of the time increase in value (fetchlands).


That they stuff in a "guaranteed" Expedition as a box-topper is making them a lot less rare than the original Expeditions (which also where foil and much more "special" and surprising).

Seems nutty that this is in red as the mana storing is a green effect.

Tried Leyline Tyrant in Modern Mono-Red Blood Moon Midrange-Control. Dunno how competitive it is, but killing my own Leyline Tyrant with something like Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Chandra, Awakened Inferno, or whatever artifact Karn, the Great Creator tutors for typically shaves at least one turn off my clock and breaks board stalls induced by my own Ensnaring Bridge in style. Would Modern RG Ponza like this card, or would it rather play 4-drops like Tectonic Giant?

For Chandra, Awakened Inferno to kill it you need to another spell (3 from chandra). The -x would deny the death trigger because of replacement exile clause.
