Ughh you broke my heart, Zayl.. thanks for the heads up, I had high hopes for Jaya, but shes probably not a good fit for us, not without some retooling at least. Maybe we'll get a new Chandra, or like you mentioned, we can make use of the new Karn. A 4-drop creature threat wouldn't be totally unwelcome either.
The entire spoiler is on wizards website. We got nothing.....zero.....zilch. all we got was a 2 Mana artifact that stops storm and lands they produce more than one Mana....I guess that's good, but we already had chalice for storm and moon for Tron....
Welp...I had some hope the set would turn out interesting.
Not much good stuff for modern or legacy in it.
Damping Sphere sure is nice...but I guess the deck doesn´t need it.
I read the email tire document in 10 minutes.....leading me to believe that there's more cards in the set than what was released.like, makes.no sense to reprint some goblins and then only have three or four in the whole set. I bet more cards are in there.
I'm looking at 142/269 cards here on this site, so I'm pretty sure you're right, Russ. We're not getting any love on the 3-drop walker front, though. Personally I blame Tibalt.
Don't look now, but Jund is currently tier 1..... yuck.
Jaya into Obliterate. Cut the removal and just ramp into desolation, leaving behind moon and PW.
I've wanted Obliterate so bad. I think to say Jaya is junk this early is a little pre-mature. I too was disappointed, but I also recently read the entire forum, and recall numerous posts that doubted ToD.
Reign it back in. Let the creative juices flow and maybe some good ideas will come our way.

Thoughts on cards, spoil tagged for those who want to be have an awesome draft and not hear about cards.
I see 3 cards I'm looking forward to playing. Russ you're a downer thought there was nothing. To me, it looks like we got something. Beside the fact we now have a 2 CMC card that tackles Storm... And Tron? I mean, who does't like to bring in Blood Moon affects 7, 8, and possibly 9? We may have just sured up one of our worst matchups in the sideboard with this set.
But, I'll go over here and play with Karn a bit...... Karn?
Finally what if Rabblemaster had First Strike? I dunno seems decent.
That new 2cc artifact is really good. Second glance.....stops the obvious, Tron and storm. Also hinders snapcaster mage and blood braid elf. Just saying.
The video was spotlighting decks which have a lot of cards appearing in Master 25. It's neat to us on the big screen: Looking sharp! And, indeed, soooooo many reprints, as Saffron Olive points out. The price of entry into the mountain cave has drastically dropped. Fitting. We are a deck for the people! By that, I mean to say that we are the people who oppress other people.

Aside from shutting down our rituals (which is manageable by playing them before the artifact), this thing does seem quite strong. Aside from the rituals, we aren't actually known for casting several spells a turn. So it's fairly tuned for us already. Getting this down t1 against affinity could be pretty strong as well to slow the board swarm a bit.
Sorry chat. I was supposed to play in an IQ today, but family emergency detailed my whole weekend....two modern IQs Saturday and Sunday, both in my backyard, and I can't attend either. Such is life as an adult.
Being an adult is the absolute worst, we all agree. If only we could be full time wizards! I manage a restaurant 6 days a week on top of having a 5 year old. Every Sunday (in the middle of my 10 hour shift, no less), a group of 30 or so LARPers come in, dressed as wizards and elves and isht.. Confession time; I'm really salty about it. I wanna be a wizard too!
Saw Pyro prison made another 5-0 mtgo league. Rocking scab clan baserker instead of eidolon in the side. Was it any1 from the forum? I forget who also advocated for scab clan in the side.

I'll see myself out.
Either way I thought it was cool that even though he's a no Rabs type-of-guy, and more a Free Win Red player, that he put the right list up there.

That's awesome! Go go Pyro Prison!!
The card is literally chrome mox when on the draw. It's busted. Ray gets all the credit for that one!
