MTG Salvation

Completely dissapointed :C

@compucrazy: One does not windmill this card. You snap your fingers.

You missundernstood me. It's a fine creature, but I expected something cheaper, spectacle-linked or just not that randomized. Not broken, but more playable. At this moment, anyone would play Doom Whisperer rather than this one.

He's a windmill limited bomb for sure. But it's lame that he just trades straight up with Doom Whisperer. He's not as strong as the last Rakdos and not as big or badass as OG Rakdos

It's not upside only if you want to play creatures that aren't demons/devils/imps (He might kill his own Judith! ) He's still cool and it could've been way worse though.

Because,
1. His ETB effect just isn’t fun. Imagine doing it for a battlefield full of tokens. Yuck.
2. It’s not guaranteed to affect the board.
3. He’s quite easy to remove, and 6 mana is a big investment.
4. He seems to have very little synergy with the rest of his guild cards.

Terrible design. I guess we are never going to get a playable Rakdos.

He's probably bummed that it isn't another cost reducer like the last one. A pseudo-wipe on every entrance is pretty good, and now Demons AND Devils can get put into a deck together.

Why? Here we have an incredibly evasive 6/6 for a fair price, with a splashy, on-flavor, upside-only etb effect. He's statistically incredibly likely to take out some of your opponent's creatures when he enters. Is he totally dominating and overpowered? Nah. But if you're disappointed every time a big legend doesn't blow the competition out of the water, you won't have a lot to look forward to.

So his ETB isn't really THAT hard to resolve against boards full of tokens. Say your opponent has 11 1/1 soldier tokens and 4 2/2 knight tokens. You roll 11d6, where 1-3 is tails, see how many get destroyed, then you roll 4d6 for the knights the same way. It's actually worse if the board is full of unique creatures, because there's no way to shortcut.

You can shortcut just fine, throw X dice for the X cards that your opponent has to determine how many Y will be dying, ie every even throw (Or every 4+) is a death.

Then you just pick up all the creatures, shuffle them and draw the first Y creatures and they die, rest lives.

Works out the same and doesnt take much longer.

With an absurdly high number of tokens, you might even argue that it should just destroy half of them and skip the random part.

A solid troll, but annoyed it needed to take up a mythic slot.

Destroys all cyborgs, cats, wizards, insects, spiders, and cyclopes.

r/whoosh, though I did realize it's #NotAllCyborgs. Gamora survives.

#NotAllCats

"Last year, we decided that heads would roll. This year it's tails."

Cue me explaining repeatedly to Johnny and Jenny that this doesn't work with Chance Encounter.

Great, now MTG Arena needs to code coin flips into the game. That should turn out well.

I enjoy the "fun" for Commander though.

"Did you do it?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
"Six mana."

Someone else gets it!

Some people don't like this design's coin flips, as if an unconditional Plague Wind on a 6/6 flampler should be a thing.

I find them perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

But seriously, I think this card references earlier versions of Thanos, where he has a huge ego (and yet still an inferiority complex leading to him sabotaging his own plans) and is in love with death, so there's your BR. He's far more WBG in Infinity War, which has become my favorite incarnation of the character. But given how they design cards, this one couldn't have been done before Infinity War was released, so, yeah, earlier versions.
