I wonder how significant putting the "non dragon" part of Glorybringers rules text will be. Is it so that you cant nuke in the mirror or should we be expecting a more dragony set?
Maybe there's some sort of servants-of-Nicol-Bolas group of dragons that have <=4 toughness?
According to Exert ruling, the creature does not untap during your next untap phase, but the trigger itself does NOT tap the creature, which means if your creature has vigilance it can keep firing its exert effect!
Boros, return to glory, with Glorybringer!
That said, Archfiend of Ifnir is a damn powerful card with all the discard/wheel shenanigans, definitely need it for B/U or B/R decks.

Possibly, and would make sense to keep them low toughness so that they wouldn't pose a threat to him. Possibly some grixis dragons as opposed to Tarkir all dragons then?
Boros could use all the help it can get in this format. Some more great exert creatures I think would help.

EDH BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
Speculation: Having an embalm-Sedris legend would be cool. Just hope it's not on a god. You don't like the board, wrath, then mummify your GY? Strong.
Otherwise, not many scavenge or unearth cards see play. Hopefully embalm gets one or two decent casual cards for EDH. I like that it whitewashes the card, too.
My first thought was 'I seem to be one step closer to building that artifact toybox', centering around counters and untapping things in a happy impossible machine of DOOM.

Also brick counters, so there's that.
Bust out the legos, baby.
This is absolutely the correct thing to use for brick counters. Screw Wizards' paper punch-out bricks.
Miasma Mummy seems like it'll be at home in Athreos.

wow....Prowling Serpopard I foresee a discussion regarding banning it happening.....
Seriously? It's basically a buffer, uncounterable Gaea's Herald - a card I don't think I've ever seen played, definitely not outside of elf tribal. Marginally improved stats are probably outweighed by the loss of elf typing and most decks that want this effect are probably not heavy on countermagic themselves, so the lack of symmetry isn't important. This isn't even as good as Vexing Shusher unless you play exclusively creatures.
It's not a bad card but it's a far cry from a banworthy card. Maybe we try and get through the spoiler season without speculating about banning anything marginally playable?

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
Its a handy card for Gx Creature-based decks. Having actual stats and being uncounterable itself might allow those decks to punch through heavy permission while being something that can't be entirely ignored either, which makes for an interesting card. Why anyone would ever even entertain the notion of banning it, however, is beyond me.

Actually I used to play Gaea's Herald in Animar, but was willing to pay UR more for flash and trample. I never really cared about the "itself can't be countered" line, although I suppose Herald was too small for people to bother (never seen it get countered when I played it) and since Surrak protects himself already I never got to see people's willingness to counter in the first place.
Either way, a middling Serpopard is not going to make the cut.
I can't think of a format where this would be relevant that also has on curve counterspells. That being said, cat snake is an awesome creature type combo.

Fetchable, pitchable late, synergy with dredge. Great stuff. Gitrog players are hoping we get enemy pairs this summer.
Not that the Shadowslands saw much except in bargain builds or I-don't-know-cards-exist-prior-to-Theros decks, but this will be the nail in their coffin. Probaby the same for Temples in a lot of decks. The playfield is getting crowded for EDH duals.

Quite a nice effect for so low a cost, and turns effect like Archfiend of Ifnir (and its ilk I'm sure) into an engine.
