Savage Summoning doesn't seem as good as Skylasher to me.
What good is making something uncounterable if it's just going to get bounced with Charm or Rift anyways?
That wasn't meant as a "Sadly Day of Judgment wont be in" comment. Now, the various times we've seen other cards in this that we'd have LOVED to see back, THAT is sad.
Oh ok. I thought maybe you were one of those anti-social passive-aggressive UW players who come to fnm with the sole intent to frustrate, bore, and dawdle at the expense of everyone else's fun
No seriously. I loathe UW. I've got a few UW players in my playgroup and not a single one mingles socially between rounds.
They are there because they hate people.
I actually had one ask me to concede him into the top 8 in game 3 because he "had the game but just never saw one of his TWO wincons".
Reprints appearing in DOTP does not mean it will be reprinted in the core set. All you can really look for in DOTP are NEW cards - those are a guarantee to be in. Not so much on the reprints, sadly.
Sad for who? Sad for control players who want to durdle until time in round?
8 sweepers at 4 mana is criminal. At least Terminus is sort of a wild card.
This is not sad.
This is a McDemon thread, not a thread about how green is awesome because it has Rampager, Farseek, and Gruul Charm. That sounds ridiculous to me. Sorry.
While he's ok in midrange, (and yes, I get that the best midrange is jund, i read tournament results too), he's primarily a control finisher. I doubt Jund will use him. This is why I suggested Dega colors, particularly due to the fact white provides a one mana instant spell that protects from spot removal and grants pseud-unblockable. Not that any of the last few posters backing jund have even acknowledged this, hence the bold.
I'd recommend Grixis too. Control colors + Blue does stuff.
I think he's best in mono-black control splashed red. He's Olivia's replacement after rotation for an archetype that has a 72 page thread.
Pumping McDemon doesn't help achieve what is intended.
The scenarios where pumps matter are too obscure.
If getting McDemon to live is the purpose, play Undying Evil.
I didn't mean cheat Simic out of a guild leader. I just meant use the art for Kiora in the mythic cycle and replace Master Biomancer - make him the rare and bump everything down until Fathom Mage occupies the Biomass Mutation slot which is cut.
Just think, Simic could have been a thing! Simic, along with Izzet, were the most anticipated guilds in polls. They redeemed Izzet with a PW, but Simic now stands as the blocks glaring failure.
As for flavor, Vraska could just have well shown up in Ravnica with no storyline. If something is iconic enough, like a dragon, they force it anyways.

While Thrag was splashed more, Thundermaw went over the top of Tusk and won our hearts in a contest of pageantry. I mean, he smashed face..
She didn't have to be a buttoned up puritan though. She could have had a big shiny gold chastity belt/thong.
Someone please presale on ebay so I can buy it!
If not, I'd consider High Priest and Gloom Surgeon as 2 drops.
