EDIT: Found the usual Fork/Reverberate effect floating around in the Card Image Gallery.
I'll take all the Entreat the Angels/Decree of Justice type cards I can get. This will be an easy slot into token commander decks like Trostani and Ghired. I like that you can pretty reliably get a 4/4 by turn 3, which helps declutter the 4 cmc slot what with Parallel Lives effects all tending to be around that mana cost.

Protection from reason (Decadent_Creed can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by reason.)
The other card fantasic fork effect foretell and it’s just one dang R for copy effect I wonder if it’s good for burn decks in modern?
Naw. Burn wants to be dealing 6-8 damage on Turn 2, not spending 2 mana to foretell this. All it does is allow for a double bolt down the road, which Burn could achieve simply by drawing a second bolt instead of this.
The "normal" card looks hilariously stupid ... look at the faces, its just terrible.
But otherwise, a bunch of tokens, easily produces X=2 and more for a reasonable late game that can just win a game on its own, no matter what happened before it.
I am unsure if the wording on the fork effect (besides the four or less) makes it better or worse than a regular fork.
It is better if you just want as many as possible to resolve (they can't counter the original one in responds to the forking) but can't be used in reponds to a counter in case you just want 1 to resolve.

"Hail to the speaker, hail to the knower; joy to he who has understood, delight to they who have listened." - Odin
The white mythic is pretty great
Solid art. Great effect.
That said... it kinda just does more of the same. The same effect we always expect for this color. Nothing new, nothing diverse, doesnt really push white in any direction. So while its great, and will impact standard (as well as edh) its also really boring
On your turn, attack, respond with Dual Strike, then after combat Howl of the Horde followed by a burn spell. This will never happen but it sounds like fun.

I saw that and looked at the artist - it was like someone was trying to emulate phil foglio. I saw Johannes Voss and thought - I liked his art. Did a gatherer search - and sure enough, I love some of his art...and disliked some too. It seems like he is such an accomplished artist, he doesn't exactly have a "style" that you can just see a card and go - yep that is Brom, RK Post, Terese Nielsen, Anson Maddocks, Richard Kane-Ferguson. Sadly, this card is in a style that I don't care for his execution of. Fortunately the alt art is exceptional in my opinion, and I am not limited to choosing between which art I hate least.
Yea the guy is just completely incapable to draw faces.
Should draw equipment or lands ...
Personally I find Voss's style in these arts to be refreshing, and a relief. If we can't have the Foglios in 21st Century FIRE design, then Voss will have to do.

Johannes Voss can draw faces. He's painted crowd shots without any goofiness in them for years. Last year he painted Gallia of the Endless Dance (source for the other goofy face) and people loved how insane the background characters were for the art.
On an actual card, they're barely noticeable. Dude's just having fun. Look him up on Gatherer, I'm certain he's drawn some card art you really love. Including lands and the M21 Shrine Cycle.
I mean, he can surely draw faces. Look at the first valkyrie: you can tell she is beautiful, yet she is making an extremely fierce face. You can see the act of aggression just by looking at her face
The problem is that the background valkyries, way less detailed, are a little too much close and not "backgroundy" enough

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

So this is a 4 mana Serra Angel, OR a cheaper Entreat without miracle. I like this a lot. I probably have no use for it though.

Someone got lazy painting the faces the further they went back.
