MTG Salvation

I think the blue pitch spell is going to be a double bounce because it is on color and they have had 2 counters back to back. Black I am going to imagine being some sort of removal like a mass -2-2 or something.

The best way to do this is Pemmin's Aura on a BOP during the untap phase. You can keep all your fancy pants doublers.

Ok now that 1,000 life lose thing makes sense it’s based on that 2012 apocalypse thing

alright Let’s see

we Got

• Doubling season
  
• Vorinclex, monstrous raider
  
• Deepglow skate
  
• Vorel of the Hull Clade
  

as more doubler for this you would need 250 with one of the static doublers 125 with both static doublers

so the fastest way I got so far (if someone can do better) is 16 counters with both doubling and Vorinclex in play and having 6UUG available for activating the calendar + vorel + casting to ETB Deepglow skate (but this won’t be till a long amount of turns and chances are so slim of everything making it)

I do the math as if untappers are in factor later

3 mana for a 4 damage lava spike + a ping + a thing that stays on the battlefield and can turn into a game ending creature + is not a sorcery or instant + can chain with copies of itself is REALLY interesting. There have been other 4 damage, 3 mana spells in the past that have done less and seen play.

Triggers off Firestorm and Lighting Axe. Would not be shocked to see this show up in a few places. Likely not fast enough for pure burn outside of Pioneer, but still, it's the closest we have gotten to it in a while.

Errant and Giada looks really strong for Spirits / Blue white flyers in pioneer. Like scary strong if you can resolve it on turn 3 and go off. Gonna keep my eye out there considering the deck has like 12 1 drop creatures that trigger this.

I'm here just waiting to see what thing in the eldrazi deck breaks legacy. There virtually has to be a new colorless land that produces multiple mana, and we already have Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi temple (both likely reprints I imagine, maybe even downshifts). I almost expect a colorless Sera's Sanctum/Cradle/Academy style thing. T reveal your hand, gain X colorless where X is the number of Eldrazi you reveal would be pretty fun, in line with Titans Presence style abilities that the Drazi had.

Likewise there are not a hell of a lot of purely colorless Sorceries and Instants, so I suspect they have to make one or 2 just to balance out the deck against the other precons. Exciting times for a player who REALLY wants to see eldrazi be a real deck in legacy again.

Remind me of how many Planeswalkers and heros/named characters had to die the first time around? This is the level of threat that The Phyrexians should be. They should be The™ threat to everything within Magic. Not Bolas. Not the Eldrazi. The Phyrexians.

The Drazi should honestly pose a much higher level threat than they do to be fair. Phyrexians want to take over reality, Eldrazi reside inside the space between reality and could probably unravel it if inclined.

You are right though that Phyrexians needed to be more of a threat than Bolas, because he is literally just a dragon mustache twirler as opposed to an inexorable plague that consumes and converts all.

Digital Mox - Is less of a Mox and more of a sidegrade to ornithopter. I do not think that affinity needs a hasty flyer that can hold Cranial Plating, and that is what it will be used for, not being a Mox.

Dragon Blood Peaks - An almost strictly better Urborg or Yavimaya. Not benefiting your opponent is sometimes relevant since red is not running mountain walkers, and tapping for colorless is a strict upgrade since Eldrazi exist. I don't see the justification for needing this at all, It does not even seem within the color pie, though I realize lands are not strictly held to that. Blood moon effects are red but they change the land, not add to it. If anything this should say your lands are mountains and anytime they would tap for a mana of a color other than red, they produce red instead if you wanted it to be in theme with reds effects. But no, powercreep with no need.

No, they cannot. Disney is literally releasing their own own CCG around the same time with princesses in it, they would never cut out their own properties like that. Also this is the first time I have heard this as being a rumor as opposed to just some fanboy wish.

So again, no.

Farmstead Gleamer and Pili-Pala waiting in the wings like

Llanowar Stalker seems like it should have implications in elf decks in every format.

Here comes the Ragavan / Rograkh decks to ruin your life.

Dack

I've yet to meet a person who gave a damn about Dack, the character. You left Venser off your list, and frankly is Koth still alive? When was the last time we revisited that character?

Gates is a real deck in Pioneer and this frankly may bring it to a new level. Not coming into play tapped is huge so you can hit a turn 2 growth spiral or have an untapped land for a turn 3 gates ablaze.

It at the least replaces all the off color gates the deck was splashing just to hit critical mass, so i am inclined to think it will be a staple card there. Everywhere else, meh?

God if anything could give merfolk a place of prominence in Modern or Legacy again it would be this.
