So M20 just got an amazing tutor. It creates room for some amazing politicking, and brings me one step closer to my dream of having a mono-black group hug deck.
Huh, very interesting card. From experience I don't looove sorcery speed topdeck tutors, but that might be a bit of personal bias.
Definitely has the potential to be pretty insane. Set up the next guy to wipe a scary board, while you go find a way to put yourself in the lead afterward, for example. Politics galore, for sure.
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Fair enough, it could just be me being haughty. It's not known to happen often, but happen it does. Apologies for derailing.
I guess I just see a lot of the sexualisation of MtG characters. Most of my play is online via untap.in, and there's a huuuuuuge number of players that run custom waifu art on their builds - like on every card in the deck, even basic lands have women with bounteous chests on them. It's honestly pretty gross and makes me wonder whether the person at the other end of the computer needs to wash their hands.
Its fine though it is hard enough to remove a card for dragons as it is, At this point, there has to be a card that is strictly better than another card to be added to my dragon deck.
i however am looking forward to the next plane we visit, here is hoping we end up on Vryn.
Cavalier of Flame is nasty for red/x lands decks. Haste enabler, ETB card quality, LTB damage to opponents and Planeswalkers. This card does so much. Really good card for red. 2RRR casting cost is harsh though.
Wakeroot Elemental, because we needed another thing to make infinite mana with Gaea's Cradle. Now I have to fight the urge to slot it into Titania, Protector of Argoth because infinite mana would be so easy there. Besides that though the rest of the card isn't all that good. Would mainly be a combo piece for mana engines.

Ah crap. Just what we need. CRADLE NEEDS TO BE BANNED!
If they are gonna ban academy then ban cradle. (There is no justification to keep it unbanned.)
Cryptic Caves is a decent pickup. I'd still value the horizon lands higher because colors matter, but giving every deck including monocolored access to the effect is nice. This feels like the last land added a lot of the time. All of that aside from obvious applications in land decks like Windgrace or Titania.

Oh noes Chandras and her regulator are red so atraxa can't use them... that's so sad... (muahahahah)
By the way, was Lord Windrgrace really this weak? Did he need all of these new bonkers cards? Because i remember him being strong even one year ago...
By the way Rienne is the best new thing in the history of new things, maybe ever

Kykar is interesting, but i don't feel he is worrysome. Maybe storm would be his direction. (I mean you can sac all these creatures to keep fueling mana for things like aetherflux reservoir. Cast another few spells gain life and pop opponents.
There are 9 leylines in MtG. They can make new ones, or reprint crappy ones. Last time, Leyline of the Void was the only reprint. We all want Void and Anticipation, but Singularity may be interesting with all the Legendary Matters cards for a short overlap in Standard.

Come to cockatrice or xmage instead
Xmage has a self ruling system on that one
Now on subject
Looks like this set will give both horde of notions and omnath, locus of rage new toys for edh
But dragons probably won't

I mean i like Chandra, we have been through this already, but i think this may be just a little too much love.

It’s Ben a while since we seen a Phage the Untouchable damage effect on a creature
And it doesn’t have to be combat damage so image some abuse you can do with this
BChainer, Dementia Master(Big Mana/Reanimator)
BRRakdos, The Showstopper (Mass Life Loss/Ramp)
BUThe Scarab God (Zombie Tribal/Control)
BWKarlov of the Ghost Council (Life Gain)
BGJarad, Golgari Lich Lord (Stompy/Dredge)
BRGProssh, Skyraider of Kher (Tokens/Non-infinite Combo)
It also let you cycles mountain and red cards, so it's useful even without Chandra in play.
Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest WUR Voltron Control
Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun WU Unblockable Mirror Trickery
Ra's al Ghul (Sidar Kondo) and Face-Down Ninjas
Brudiclad, Token Engineer
Vaevictis (VV2) the Dire Lantern
Rona, Disciple of Gix
Tiana the Auror
Hallar
Ulrich the Politician
Zur the Rebel
Scorpion, Locust, Scarab, Egyptian Gods
O-Kagachi, Mathas, Mairsil
"Non-Tribal" Tribal Generals, Eggs
Cue "let's brew" threads in 3, 2...
By the way, was Lord Windrgrace really this weak? Did he need all of these new bonkers cards? Because i remember him being strong even one year ago...
By the way Rienne is the best new thing in the history of new things, maybe ever
In mono-blue, there's Hermetic Study, Psionic Gift, Thornbite Staff, and the usual tools to make sure it is not blocked (unblockable, removal).
Beating Face with Bane
Beatrice, the Golden Witch
he is gonna go in my Firesong and Suspeaker deck.
i like a 4 mana mass exile that gives them no bonus. If i am running on 1000+ life, i think it could be a very, VERY useful card.
While not as good as feather

Kykar can add U for those spell slinger decks
(The Jeskai spellslinger legend we all have Ben waiting for)
Kykar is interesting, but i don't feel he is worrysome. Maybe storm would be his direction. (I mean you can sac all these creatures to keep fueling mana for things like aetherflux reservoir. Cast another few spells gain life and pop opponents.
leyline of sanctity is a reprint so were probably getting the cycle
wallets rejoice
