Quote from Jay13x »Sure. But the timing seems awfully convenient, especially because they'd have known Jaya was returning while working on the set, and deliberately put in several pieces of Dominaria nostalgia (like Wasitora).
I remember reading somewhere, possibly on blogatog, that Wizards intentionally put tribes that would align with Standard cards (e.g. Cats and Vampires) into the Commander set. Why not do the same with lore? Maybe they slipped Mairsil in to remind longtime players about his existence and introduce him to a new generation before they get to Dominaria.
Don't forget Mages' Contest.
That's not a fair fight. Jaya's had a two-millenia head start on her.
I wish Djinni and Efreeti were better done by.
It was a dark time for removal.
You still die to Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell.
Razaketh, no. It was Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed.
I like how they made it work with the flavour text.
Watching a high-powered Narset deck work is like watching someone do their taxes.
You could probably just use the first mode on its own and still come out ahead in a Narset deck.
Yeah, but so is Dictate of the Twin Gods.
It's interesting to look at the wording between Wild Ricochet and Shunt in that the former specifies instants and sorceries, but the latter only says "spell". Odd little quirk, that.
Also, Wild Ricochet is just better.
Phyrexian Processor, Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII, Earthshaker Khenra, Dark Depths, any equipment with Living Weapon... uh, Skeletonize?
You know what, just run Fissure instead. Yeah it costs 1R more, but it's modular, prevents regeneration, and you get to sling a thoughtful Plato quote at your opponents.
