MTG Salvation

High price of singles will not get new people to play competative constructed.

Even Modern Masters failed to get new people into the modern format

I got 4 Alara intro decks just for the Master of Etherium


Intro packs can have good cards in them

Even for a new player, these are a bad deal

M14 slivers needs something comparable to these to be something other then casual:


Clot Sliver
Crypt Sliver
Toxin Sliver
Crystalline Sliver
Hibernation Sliver
Heart Sliver
Pulmonic Sliver

Slivers as they are now have no way to protect themselves.

The FNM where i am is like attending a pro-tour every week, so pretty much Tier 1 decks

Cant see a Sliver deck as it is currently doing well in at a FNM like that

Looks like Slivers will be a casual deck unless they get something amazing in Theros,


It looks like they just did a single black and a single blue sliver just so they can say they are all five colors

Still need a regenerating sliver for standard

It is comparable to Primordial Hydra as both can be a t2 clock, both are a 4/4 for 5 mana, and both become a 8/8 the turn after.


Kalonian however depends on what else is in play with counters.

1 mana to give a creature +2/+0 and Trample, and if the creature or enchantment is destroyed it returns to you hand.

Every deck using green will be using it.

Black Mana ramp is back, to bad black is not viable

Yep it was obvious they would be the intro deck foil rare, because they are rare instead of Mythic (all legends are now Mythic), and they dont put Mythics in intro decks.

Looks like Garuuk, Primal Hunter is getting a reprint

These are NOT game day promos.

Gateway promos are giving to advanced level stores as free giveaways.

It is basically the same type style of "Ramp" deck that has always exhisted, only the meta has changed

I have had good success with Primordial Hydra mostly because my opponents use up all thier removal and have nothing against it. It beats down RDW hard if you get at least 6 counters on it (easy to do in green)
