MTG Salvation

what they need is to reprint force of will so that standard has an okay counter spell that will lead to interesting play decisions based on the exile a card clause. it would usually make the maindeck of a control deck but it would not be at all broken and if its reprinted then the modern combo cards could also be unbanned

Quote from Wraith223

Not supprised that m14 is showing up over MM. I am more interested in seeing m14 anyway cause I am sick of all hyping and price spikes.
I would rather prepare for standard play than once a month modern play anyway.

Take it as a bonus for having something new to talk about than the same **** we have been disscusing for the past month.

I only play standard and I still care more about MM than M14. I will draft and pack war a box and sell the staples to buy standard stuff because my store is selling boxes at 180 and I expect the value of an MM box at 180 will still be higher than an M14 box at 110

These modern bannings are quite annoying and make it a really boring format. I think it could be fixed though by unbanning everything except skullclamp and blazing shoal. It would make it an interesting format that is not just standard 2.0.

that is good though it could just be a counter, you both put a land into play and it costs one more.

lightning shaman RR

tap: do 3 damage to target creature or player

(1/2)

broods death seems fine even overpriced slightly i would make it cost 4 since most other things that would destroy all tokens would also destroy all creatures

Sanctity WWW
Instant
Gain 10 life if your life total is exactly 3

Solitude 3G
Instant
Draw 6 cards. Skip your next 2 turns


I think this makes sanctity only useful for decks that can pay life and solitude really evokes the flavor of solitude, being alone, because you skip turns and cannot interact with your opponent, but you get cards for it

I want a playable red walker like this
zo-zu, hater of people R
planeswalker - zo-zu
starting loyalty: 1
0 deal 3 damage to target player
+1 deal 2 damage to target creature
-4 deal damage to target creature or player equal to the number of cards in target player's hand minus 1

Krenko, lord of raiding R
Planeswalker - goblin
+0 target creature gets -1/-1, put a loyalty counter on ~
-2 put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you don't control, that creature fights target creature you control
-7 you get an emblem with creatures you control gain unblockability wither and gain: tap this creature fights target creature
Starting loyalty: 2

I think this will be a FTV with the most iconic cards. I think it will have: Serra angel, hymn to tourach, tradewind rider, control magic, psychatog/upheaval, JtMS, primeval titan, bloodbraid elf, rishadan port, bitterblossom, umezawa's jitte, fires of yavimaya, force of will, birds of paradise, thoughtseize, and wrath of god

I think skarrg guildmage will be played in standard the dimir one might see fringe play the others are unplayable

Quote from Kuiji

So.. all the guilds look extremely good, but i can't decide to pick either boros, gruul or simic. Which guild are you picking for the prerelease?

I totally agree it is between these three and I think gruul wins out

Quote from Crepes

So glad I bought none of this set. I see little that can compete with the cards that are already in standard. Also very sad that I chose Gruul for the prerelease. Clearly outclassed by every other color. zzzzzzzzz

I am of the completely opposite opinion I think gruul is the best followed by simic and boros

Soul ransom is interesting it could be good if standard becomes a bunch of midrange mirrors or it could be bad or hyper aggro and control are good if it is a mix as I expect it will be a great board card and played in some maindecks
Also think about this your opponent has a creature, you take it then they discard and you draw same situation as before except you are up cards and they are down. On second thought it will be good for control against aggro because control wins those matchups by grinding early ca and winning the late game. Soul ransom lets you get a lot of card advantage for some tempo that you can just gain back by wrathing next turn with those extra cards

Blind obedience does shut down haste except for hellrider whose ability is more problematic than his being a 3/3 haste usually but it is still a great card that I expect will see play but I expect it will be played more in aggro and especially midrange than control

Quote from Juan007

Neither card is constructed playable. Blind Obedience does absolutely nothing against most decks.

It will be very good in standard which is overrun by aggro and midrange haste guy decks right now
