I would say he belongs in a control/midrange shell. Imagine him with assemble the legion? If you think assemble takes over games now, think about having 4 power worth of 1/1 plus 8 to the dome? If 3 color control can still be a thing, all american control would have great finishers. Even without turning him into a dude, you can take over a game with him.
It really depends on how you want to use it. It could ve valuable in junk rites. It may be viable in a jund with deathbridge chant style list. I honestly wouldnt mind it in control either. It comes in, blows up a dude, stays around to block or stop an attack, and then gets out of the way. If you dont mind using it and sac'ing it, its fine for control I think.
While reading the Planeswalker's guide tonight, I stumbled across this line
Signature item: Purphoros wields Akmon, a large hammer whose head slightly resembles an anvil. A blow from Akmon can render the earth molten, and when it strikes metal, each spark becomes a new enchantment, some of which even take on life.
So enchantments can take on life... Reprint of Opalescence? Or will enchantments have an opalescence-like ability?
Hello! I've been brewing this theme deck for awhile. Its basically Nicol Bolas as he is commanding the plane of grixis, full of zombies, a few demon generals, and a bunch of cards that depict or reference him. Hope you enjoy!
I just moved and I'm looking for a good place to play. I've heard the 20-Sided Store is good, but I'm looking for some other opinions. I'm willing to travel into Manhattan or somewhere else to play. Any Suggestions?
The Sideboard is constantly in flux, but I can post if people want. I've found that with Liliana and Farseek, I always have enough swamps for mutilate early for 3-4, and then late game it kills anything i need. I can consistently ult lily with this build and usually win with a huge devils play or rakdos return, along with early game beats
So, I've been playing a Jund colored version of a similar deck for a few weeks and having a blast. I've Won/Top 4'd for the past month with a deck very similar to this one, and was wondering if people had any suggestions.
This is basically just turbofog. Use Otherworldly atlas to make them draw tons of cards instead of the mill cards. That way you get terminus, cyclonic rift, detention sphere, etc. Jace and atlas by itself can mill out the opponent. That way you can cut the red.

2x Rest in Peace
3x Obzedat, Ghost Council

I was playing in the holiday cube today.
I had a Tamiyo emblem and my client crashed, costing me 3 minutes of time.
I was burning him out with a fire/ice and had plenty of mana to do it, but my opponent would not concede.
Just the clicking was preventing me from finishing on time.
I feel that had this been a paper event, I would have one easily...
Thoughts?
I would try something like
4 Fog
4 Atlas
4 Safe Passage
4 Jace
4 Terminus
4 Cyclonic Rift
4 Detention sphere
2 Elixer of Immortality
3 Sphinx's Revelation
2 Druid's Deliverance
25 Lands
