I don't understand why people are so excited for this card. It isn't that good of a card. Standard and Modern wont play this. Is it that good for commander? Did she have some sort of lore that people are all silly about?
Lol when you don't know the lore and complain.
By the way one of the best card of the last year. Strong, fun and flavorful. Honestly i'm liking even the art, so peculiar.
... now can we have Myczil next?
Wasn't a complaint. Was an actual question. I don't follow the story but I didn't realize that meant I shouldn't talk about magic cards.....and wasn't sure why everyone was so excited for this is all. It isn't a good card in competitive magics. I don't play EDH so I figured that is where it was poised to be. I'm happy if you like the card lol *shrug*
She was a story character in the first ravnica block. By the end of it she was the guild leader and ended up making a bunch of other angels like Aurelia. EDH is pretty hype about it. It adds alot of card draw in colors that dont get it and its mana cost is pretty fantastic.

Welp this is certainly a singles only sort of set for me. I honestly dont get it. There has been plently of people saying the msrp on these are too high so what do they do, they raise the price.

I generally like the flavor of this type of think but it really sucks when you get hosed by not having the color you picked. The whole two color thing if they go with guilds could help mitigate that quite a bit though.

It has support 2 so it can put a counter on animar and something else. That would draw you a card and put get two counters on animar. You can also take the option of drawing 2 supposing there are other creatures out.

I dont know about you guys but Generous Patron seems to be a pretty solid card for this deck. It draws you cards and puts up to two counters on animar. I could see some issues depending on meta about there being issues with putting counters on opponents creatures but that shouldn't be that much of a problem.

I... dont understand. UGGGG this is soooooo good. I hope the sales on this set make wizards learn we want more of this and less of masters.

The two big things are snapcaster mage and kolaghan's command. Kolaghans versatility is amazing. Id grab some before they go up more, 2 should be fine. As for snapcaster there is really no replacement for that card.

Seems to be that linear strategies are still doing quite well. No changes seems pretty good and certainly dont see anything that could be banned. As far as unbans go my second choice behind jace was always SFM. I honestly think it will do even less than Jace would. Creature and artifact removal is just really good in this format. D&T or perhaps some tempo deck could make use of it but still think its way to slow.
The other ones would be preordain and DTT. I mostly am just curious about DTT and see what it would do in the format. We all know it died due to Treasure Cruise but its still a really good card regardless. As far as Preordain, it would certainly be played heavily but most decks would replace opts or serum visions and that isnt really that big of a change to the format.

[quote] In more traditional lists i wouldnt but if your going AV and dont have delvers he seems fine. He may still be too mana intensive but worth the test.
As far as the meta goes I would say rough. Generally Death's Shadow grixis is just better. I prefer more reactionary play so ive stuck with delver but both decks have lots of variation and can easily overlap.
It is a bit sad that those that have played Grixis Delver have managed to switch to Grixis Death's Shadow due to the popularity and general better tournament outcome. I'm gonna play Delver one of these weeks and then try Death's Shadow version.
Wouldn't hurt to try with one mainboard Jace, the Mind Sculptor and see if it makes any difference.

I think its still a perfectly fun deck to play and does decently enough. Just in general proactive is better than reactive in modern. Nice thing it really only has two matchups where i go this is a loss, boggles and bw tokens and you hardly see the latter nowadays. Fatal push has helped this deck in general quite alot. It also helps that we dont really care if our opponent has it. Everything we run that works with it gets killed by every other form of removal in the format anyways. Oh and if you havent picked up any ceremonious rejections yet get some they are absolutely house.

How is Delver is the meta currently? I've had the deck built for just about 2 years and used to run it all the time before I expanded my collection and built other decks. Most of the time, I've seen most people that have piloted the deck covert it into Death's Shadow because all is really needed for the deck is the addition of Death's Shadow and Street Wraith.
What about the addition of Jace, the Mind Sculptor? I have only one and have been thinking about adding him just because he is available, just haven't really been convinced to do so.

I really don't want to start complaining, because scramming more references to old or obscure lore is hardly possible, but does anyone else miss certain things? Not a single dwarf, viashino, kor, nantuko or cephalid or at least their fate (considering the Rift Era they could have totally gotten away with making the otarian races extinct), no mention of Sarpadia outside of the homarid, which was a historic piece of information, not something about the continent's modern state. Also poor Caliman was completely ignored both in flavour text, art and supplementary materials.
Like, again, I don't mean to complain, but it felt a bit odd for such a rich setting like Dominaria to go through the card gallery and see 95% benalish cards in white and 90% tolarian cards in blue. It feels like Jamuura, the largest continent, specifically was largely left out apart from the odd reference here and there.
There is a mention of the Talas attacking Tolaria West ;-)
I think its mostly down to it being one set and there just isnt enough room. One of the things that stands out is that this story really paints it as the cabal vs new benalia. It kidna makes me thing the cabal isnt actually a global threat and just a rising power that is slowly expanding.

Cant tutor it with Fierce Empath but it is cheaper than Primoridal Sage or Soul of the Harvest
