These angular flat non 3d looking solid color faces are looking real bad to me personally. Looks like most are on the "alt" of the cards but geez. Is this supposed to be the art deco style? Like the Borderless elspeth, the Elevator Vivien, that human guy that looks like a robot. This picture. Don't know how the "faithless looting" style clip art and paste stuff is making the cut for wizards but hey, art is subjective.

Wow wiz hates maestros. No wonder Ob took it over, it's the weakest faction. Guild ability is crap, charm is crap, this card is trash. At least the (now dead) leader was pretty powerful.

Every now and then, I feel the need to remind people that Carly Mazur's Faithless Looting art is a painting.
Card seems pretty solid, especially since black already has a bunch of support for sacrifice decks in standard. Replaying a Mascot Exhibition or Blood on the Snow will be great.

man your blind as a bat
this is a enchantment version of kess and you know damn well she’s a Cedh commander

10 percent of the set in and we are getting takes like this, love it!

It wouldn't be Magic without people claiming that the sky is falling on a sunny day.

Kess is only CEDH-worthy because she doesn't make you sac creatures to recur any spells. Maestros Ascendancy makes you sac creatures, which is an annoying cost to pay at times.

Exactly my point. Comparing this to kess is like comparing sol ring to the ravnica cluestones

this card is nowhere near the power of Kess.....
I mean, Kess doesn't need to sac any creatures and she's a 3/4 flyer... all that for just one extra mana.
this thing is mostly a "do nothing" enchantment that gives you 1 card disadvantage in exchange for card selection IF you have plenty of dudes to sac.
I think at the end of the day, this card is actually pretty bad.

We are in a standard though where we have creatures like pests and decayed zombies that want to die. Sedgemoor Witch also will replace the pest each time. I can see a Grixis/Maestros Magecraft deck that could be fun.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
Def gonna try and build a fun B/R act of treason deck with this. Having a sac outlet on an enchantment instead of a creature might make the whole thing flow better.

Those kind of early takes get extra funny when you remember how accurate preview season power level speculation is online. (It's not, the internet is hilariously bad at assessing things.)
Basicly it’s a enchantment version of Kess, Dissident Mage but you throw in sacing a creature with the cost
potential for grixis pyromancer in modern?
(Usually you can tell which one has the better art with these treatments. Here, not so much.)

it makes me a little sad when I remember that we have Lier, Disciple of the Drowned in the same meta as this.
