Search the city might be nice in a green blue deck, summon forth the necessary basic lands to gr an extra turn, it just seems like search the city is massively over-costed at 5, after all time warp costs 5 and avacyn had the closet to a time walk we've seen since shadow moor. The only reason I can think to use search the city is that it also nets u 5 cards with some decent srcye it could exile 5 unnecessary cards, net you an extra draw per turn, and then a free turn, but somehow still think this is unnecessary.
Also the pull from eternity and most hollow ideas aren't bad either. Play from exile.
You can't use it in EDH because EDH is a Singleton format. Therefore making it completely useless in EDH.
If it exiles only basic lands it will still work in edh, hence srcye, stack 5 basics, exile them, and then you got a good solution to land destruction, a free draw when u play a basic lands etc. all of which aren't bad ideas in edh.
I like the +1 And the card draw is nice. Ultimate is cool in edh when you need that combo and you're not playing black, but Jace has really let himself go in e last few sets.
The rings are amazing, The white legend is nice too... But the rings! Hex proof one is definteiyl going in a commander deck, giving haste and then a +1/1 counter is also nice.
Vela somehow reminds of the original legends from legends, pretty hefty body, huge mana cost, so so ability. There is definitely a combo with her and eldrazi spawn tokens or other sac outlets oh wait... Deadye's blink... Anyway, oh someone already got it you pair her with nether spirit or other returns from the graveyard folks... Anyway, the green white guy reminds more of the shadow moor avatars I am liking him. Regardless these will be interesting pieces in a deck, but the green white guy less a commander more as a pawn in an existing deck.
back from the brink and the new descent into madness also exile. Can't believe ppl are arguing about the tournament worthiness of this one is obviously a weird plonk in the johnny chain.
I agree that this card doesn't "feel" mythic but I also believe people are judging it too harshly. This kind of thing hasn't been done before and I think we haven't even begun to understand the implications of this card. Plus it's blue.;)
I believe what they're trying to get across is that this is a peculiar rule bent much like that mythic artifact that let you sac it and get exiled cards back in your library at the cost of exiling your library mirror of fate. As for being mythic, I'd say it's as mythic as say Tree of Redemption something that will come in handy at some point. On the other hand... I kinda hope that playing from exile becomes a regular blue ability and something we can depend on with creatures especially illusions. This also might be a harbinger for the tech we'll see in Ravnica. Not sure why, but something tells me the city world is capable of casting from exile.
real quickly if you doppelganger it does the copy still retain the ability in exile?
Question: What happens when I exile this with Venser?
Can I then cast it and Venser just looks at me sadly?
I mean, the implication if so is that cards which exist in exile and other zones actually ARE the same instance of the exiled card. I guess my point is, I don't see why I can have, say, Master Transmuter pop itself in and out to "dodge" a lightning bolt, but casting this guy from Exile doesn't mean his secret twin will join him at the end of my turn.
you should be able to cast from exile, but at end of turn Venser's ability will fizzle do to lack of target.
In the absence of a like button, I am reduced to posting Wow! Great design. I love the idea behind it, perhaps the most original card in the set. Wish wizards would spend more time on new ideas.
It's also controllable with hex parasite, if you want to reset it simply remove all the counters. That is how it will combo is with counter removal. Really beginning to see this as a good card.
While probably not completive, it is good to mention that this is a black card and black being the color of discard, this will probably negate any draws your opponent gets while eating into their permanents two turns after its played, in other word card advantage means you will have cards to exile for a few turns while your opponent must sacrifice permanents giving you good position to end it with your heavy. In a black blue deck this might even be more powerful provided u can end it before it eats you, and even then e first permanent u would sacrifice would probably be this. It's actually a solid card and I will build a deck around this. It also generates tons of info about card weight, this will really make your opponet's hand transparent.
The planes walker ultimate = never ending control, counter spell and it comes right back to you. The angel looks fun, but not as usefull as Zur or the alara lords that fetched enchantments.
