MTG Salvation

2. Seriously, who wants to be paying $240 for a basic discard spell to get into Modern? The demand is so high that even Inquisition of Kozilek, an uncommon in a large set from a few years ago, is $7 a pop. Printing it in M14 should bring down the value substantially more than MM.

As a some one who doesn't have a huge amount of cash to spend on cards im seriously excited for this, and with modern masters the modern format is getting a lot easier to get into.
all we need now are fetches to be down at 10$, modern was getting a little ridiculous on the price tags.

Quote from Lyciana

On the other hand, Bloodbraid Elf in the planechase 2012 deck had the FNM art.

True , so we'll just have to see which one WotC chooses.

Quote from Canadian Guy of Wrath

Also the original Elspeth art is awesome while the DD art is terrible

I'm not convinced Blood Moon is going to be in this

The Duel decks art isn't terrible it's awesome, but compared to the original it is inferior to say the least.
There's just something about the original that gives elspeth that " Don't worry you're safe as long as im on the field" kinda feel. sorta like gideon and mother of runes.
The artist that did the DD version has done some other awesome artwork like Elesh Norn and linvala.

CHANDRA? GOOD? OMG I QUIT MAGIC, RED SUCKS, AND ALWAYS WILL SUCK

/TROLLFACE OFF
Nice to see chandra get some new life. If she is anything like the chandra that was faked when they were spoiling m(12/13?), it will be good. although, chandra in her previous version (yes i'm talking standard here) sucks. so lets hope they revamp her.

Chandra the firebrand isn't bad, I played her in my modern Jund and won me games by letting me copy Blighting and dreadbore.
But in a low instant/sorcery decks she isn't as solid.

But I seriously doubt wizards is going to print a good Chandra, that can be played in Top tier decks. Which Is disappointing since Chandra is my favorite planeswalker in terms of flavor and lore.

Maybe If we are lucky we get a 3 cost chandra who's a mix of tibalt, jace beleren and lilliana.

Chandra beleren of the veil fiend blooded.1RR
Loyalty 3
+1 both players draw a card then discard a card. ( at random )
-2 deal 4 damage to target creature
-6 burn the **** out of target opponent

Quote from Nyzzeh

Can you say which arts were used?
Elspeth's the normal one or the duel decks one?
Sprite the normal one or the FMN one? ^^

It would make more sense to reprint it in the original artwork, to make the duel decks alternative art more "special" or something

Just look at the Jace Vs chandra duel decks.
Jace had alternative art in that one but when he was released in m10 and m11 he had his original lorwyn art

Quote from shadow2000

Haha i'm pretty sure the green one is even worse

Quote from Infini

I want to believe this, but Ryusei at mythic seems absolutely insane, in the worst of ways of course.

Hey! it's still not official yet anyway, there is still hope.

Quote from jimmyrussles77

Don't say that

then again, we already got the worst one. Others would just be upgrades i guess...

It would make more sense to have the whole cycle in the mythic spot rather than just having one of the dragons in the mythic spot.
Maybe We might see vendilion clique as a

Quote from kingfede

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror-breaker could surely be mythic, but having only poor Chandras maybe Ryusei could've been chosen as some sort of replacement... well, a very poor one...

Maybe they will put the whole dragon spirit cycle in the mythic rare spots with kukusho, keiga , etc

Quote from arise_shine

I think just about anything is an improvement over the "duckface" and "pissed off" faces.

But I like chandra looking pissed all the time, it goes well with that hot-head persona of hers :cool2:.

I hope modern master boxes don't cost 200+ after the set is spoiled.

Quote from Tybalt

I don't think the standard rules for mythics really apply to this set. Personally, I believe that Dark Confidant and Thoughtseize will be mythics in this set. I believe that Tombstalker will be in this set, and that Aether Vial will be a rare.

That's what I believe, I could be wrong, but all things considered, I'm probably not.

They better not reprint kitchen finks, and remand as a rare, that's all I care about.

Quote from redthirst

I saw the trap but I fell in anyway...

Also, I'm pretty sure OP is one of my guys doing this just to **** with me.

Maybe Op secretly knows your strong dislike for vexing devil and made this thread ?

Quote from redthirst

You know, unless your opponent doesn't want you to have a chump blocker...

Then you get 4 damage for R Which is still pretty damn good.

but out side of RDW it's not a very good card.

Quote from Von

The mill 8 split card might be a sleeper.

I like to think of that card as the budget replacement for Glimpse the Unthinkable

Quote from redthirst

Except by the time you've gotten to the point where the 4 damage could kill them a 4/3 is most likely going to be completely irrelevant.

all vexing devil is in the late game is a pretty decent chump blocker.

Quote from izzetmage

Generally, only combo decks play it, as a way of beating counterspells when they want to combo off.

It doesn't stop your opponent from drawing, attacking, playing lands, and it provides negative card advantage, so I don't think your deck wants it, unless Isochron Scepter is involved.

I like to view it as a time walk only your opponent can still attack and play lands.
Like a very mediocre time walk,

Quote from LandBoySteve

The problem is, he's only 4 to the face early game. Late game, he's a terrible top deck. He's useless. If you're playing burn, you want a burn spell that is good ALL the time. This card is not.

Even if you want to finish your opponent with the four damage ,getting a 4/3 creature for R is still pretty damn good.
