Boy howdy! I cannot wait to lose games to *multiple* Teferis. I always thought to myself how much more fun it'd be if they had 3 instead of one! I'm beside myself in anticipation! Yee-haaw!
Isn't it a little strange that this card can actually invalidate the immortality tuck mechanic of the new gods by milling them off the top of the library post-tuck? Just seems odd from a thematic sense. Also, I think the card is a shade better than its getting credit for. A 4/4 that kills a 4 toughness critter and gains life as an EtB isn't too shabby. And that's without zombie/amass synergies.
Interesting. So with Dovin being hybrid, that means Narset will be WU. Neat.
Actually with Teferi occupying the WU slot. Narset will definitely mono U.
I don't doubt the veracity of that statement, but doesn't that give us considerably more blue walkers than any other color? Maybe I'm losing my mind, but it felt overwhelmingly blue before we had 4 more blue walkers spoiled one after the other. I'm not hating on it...just seems super weird.
The tax effect on Dovin is certainly interesting. Its been awhile since we've had that effect in Standard, right? The real gem is the white 1 drop. That guy s going to be disgustingly good in limited.
So, is it safe to say that after the Yamato torches the eternal vanguard Bolas is forced to activate his Eternal Zombo Gods trap card? Then, when Ugin arrives to fend off the new challengers, Nasty B takes the field himself?
As for the card...8 mana? Maybe some combination of Song of Freyalise and...I dunno. 8 mana is alot. Feels like I should just be casting Nexus, at that point.
Heartfire seems intriguing at instant speed. Sac the Walker you are attacking? Sac the critter you tried to Contempt? I dunno if it gets there, but there is a ton of burn in Standard already. Maybe 'Sac Lavarunner' just ends a bunch of games.
I mean...You virtually stop playing from your hand once this is on the field, right? Seems like it would almost always be correct to Vivi Vial critters in, at instant speed, with greater selection of what to cast. Early front-runner for favorite card, for me, alongside new Domri.
Somebody gimme a hand understanding the timing window here. Do I announce the 'free' spell on cast? On resolution? After resolution? Can I cast ~ for X=4 and use the 'free' part for Devious Cover-up if they attempt to counter? Inquiring minds want to know...

Ty I was sorta stumbling over myself.
