MTG Salvation

Vega, where are you?

Doesn't go infinite with a clone if you have to lose 2 life every time.

I don't know what the land of ice and frost with twisted trees is, but it doesn't sound like Kamigawa. I agree that she's the leading candidate for being the Wanderer.

So let me get this straight - y'all were okay with fleetwheel cruiser and untethered express because they were powered by Aether, but this motorcycle that is probably powered by magic is too much?

Also people hated the flavor of Kamigawa. Some people loved it, but since most people didn't understand it Wizards said they would never return. Because of overly vocal fans of Kamigawa they now decided to return with some major tweaks. So you overly vocal fans better not complain about the aesthetics because IMO we would have been better off never returning to Kamigawa. This is your doing!

Rotten reunion looks like it is evoking the American Gothic painting (two farmers with a pitchfork in front of a house). Cool!

the new designs suck
The mechanics are almost never relevant and could have been done paper-friendly with hardly any difference.
Davriel is horrific - who wants random abilities that are so varied.

• a character that first appeared in a Magic novel finally becomes a legendary creature
Has to be Araithia "Rat" Shokta. Main character of a novel, doesn't get a card lol.

Money does buy reserved list cards and that is just pure happiness.

So is Vorinclex making Tibalt sow chaos as a prelude to Phyrexian invasion?

elves and beserkers are not known for sacrifice shenanigans. Suspect this will be worse than many commons in limited, but should be a good 5th/6th pick if you are playing one of these tribes.

that saga seems bad. 3 mana for two treasures and you have to wait two turns to tutor your equipment? Ok for limited, I guess, but even then it seems very bad if you are playing it after turn 4.

The clear choice is Shapeshifter, cast clever impersonator, making two copies of the enchantment.

Okay so what are the rulings for the MDFC’s going to be in the command zone. I’m assuming we’re going to have every permanent type, which includes a possible land, but how will that work?

If the front side is a Legendary Creature, then it can be in the command zone.
Tibalt is taking over for my Mogis deck.

This will be the rare I get 3 normal and 2 foil in a set booster box.

This card could be an uncommon instead of wasting a rare slot. It's a constructed piece of garbage.

You know that changeling is in the set, right?
This is a pretty strong 2 drop for limited. Limited is what determines rarity, not constructed.
Also, this could be good in constructed.

I totally believe Vorinclex is real. Why? Because of the same reason that Amonkhet had the Nicol Bolas stuff going on.

When they did Theros, they knew that there was a lot of general knowledge about Greek mythology. Enough to do everything top-down. Films like Troy, 300, Clash of the Titans, Percy Jackson and even the Disney Hercules movie did a lot to give the average person knowledge of greek mythology.
But when they did Amonkhet, they realized that there is very little general knowledge about Egyptian mythology (pretty much nothing beyond mummies and pyramids). So they had to add more to it.

Same thing here. Norse mythology is beloved by a small subset of people. Most people don't know anything more than Thor, Odin, Loki and Mjolnir. A lot of people know of the World Tree, but even then it is not a lot. I am sure that they felt they needed another hook to get players into it. Phyrexians make sense.
