Gaze of GranitexBBG
Sorcery (R)
Destroy each nonland permanent with converted mana cost X or less. Golgari reclaimers resent the gorgons, begrudging the loss of so many fine nutrients locked away in stone.

Gleam of Battle4RW
Enchantment (U)
Whenever a creature you control attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it. Every soldier returns from battle changed: by hardship, by blood, by a glimpse of glory.

Haunter of Nightveil3UB
Creature - Spirit (U)
Creatures your opponents control get -1/-0. The Dimir employ the spirits of Ravnica's ancient, nameless dead, guiding their malevolence toward selected victims.

Jelenn Sphinx3WU
Creature -Sphinx (U)
Flying, vigilance

I have divined your fate. You shall find your nemesis, a catastrophic clash. Devastation, misery for all, the unleashing of horrible curses and ferocious powers. Ruin, such ruin that I dream each night of blessed peace, assured that the universe is in balance once more...

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a Crypt Ghast, a Pontiff of Blight, a handful of creatures... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.

A card that single-handedly makes Extort matter in Commander. But I'm confused why this is a mono-black card, surely a mass-Extort enabler would have made more sense as a gold card? Especially with those stats.

I concur - I actually misread the cc with a W in it and then got disappointed until I saw just how much junk in the truck the Cleric was packing.
Boy howdy that's a pile of mana for limited. Bomb? No. Makes orzhov decks orzhovier? You Becha!

I once met a man from Seattle
When posting he never did prattle
He was quite a nice bloke
Always quick with a joke
With Magic Cards, he always did battle.

Six mana isn't unreasonable in a decent Orzhov deck in Gatecrash, and Dragon's Maze is supposed to slow the format way, way down, giving you plenty of time to set up for these sorts of shenanigans.

Context - was reponse to this.
Because Every Set is Terrible!
They stack. The actual card has reminder to text to this effect, actually. I'll put that in.
I'm *so* glad they did this-
If only there were an Evolve version, as well...

Have you seen those Pontiffs? Big butts are standard issue in the Orzhov.
Thanks to Rivenor of Miraculous Recovery Signatures!
An open fat pack somewhere in the world.
Oddly, this guy doesn't look like your average pontiff, and certainly isn't very obese. He really is a more normal Zombie.

i love this card, but it should've been b/w
