Kinda surprised VW isn't mythic, that's a brutal effect wow... like Spelljack on steroids.
Absolutely hilarious to pull on an aggro deck if you manage to get off a big enough cast - yeah i'll just take the remainder of your beaters and bash YOUR face in with them <3
Good times. VW is the kind of card that can produce table flips in the right situation.
Does the effect stack? I know static abilities generally don't but this seems like a case where multiple triggers could go off if more than 1 of these is present.
"7/1/2013 If you control multiple Thorncaster Slivers and a Sliver you control attacks, each ability will trigger separately."
So yeah that answers my question. Wow, that's just evil... not realistic at all to have 4 of each out but that is kinda funny doing 8 per swing before combat damage even goes through.
Yeah so Garruk's going to be utterly insane until Ravnica rotates out (and Crypt Ghast along with it) but will remain a hilarious card afterwards. So many awesome abilities but 7 mana is pretty steep without some good ramp options.
LOVE the zombie enchantment, makes me hope they reprint gravecrawler (nice synergy with grave digger and others as well). Black Zombies/discard could be a thing!
Comparing it to Affinity isn't really accurate though, since Affinity only applied to other Artifacts. This basically turns every artifact you have into a land which is crazy. It also makes the God weapons that much more interesting since they changed the wording on convoke to include mana symbols, and those are colored artifacts. There are shenanigans to be had with this card and I LOVE IT!
Cheating in Archetype of Courage could also be a nasty combat trick. Too bad Aurelia's not a soldier oddly enough. And even if Brimaz comes in tapped, it's still a good play since you're getting him into play for FREE.
That dictate is quite easily the worst of the cycle.
And I'm not particularly stoked that a format that already includes Detention Sphere, Chained to the Rocks, and Banisher Priest gets another card in the same mold. Like, that's some extremely lazy design to me.
LOL hardly. Green is still by far the worst. It's a tossup between Blue and Red for best so far, but both White & Black are playable. They're not as strong of a finisher as Red's is but still decent.

Also, really sweet effect, love it - basically global prowess + optional cycling. If only madness was also a thing at the moment.
Except it's not really AR since AR puts those cards in your hand. This lets you play the cards for that turn only, then they're gone - big difference.
Also holy crap, Thorncaster Sliver has a new best friend!
EDIT: Speaking of thorny, here's his rulings:

I love it for the flavor and how potentially evil this can be. I hate it because I f'ing HATE YELLOW JACKETS!!!!
And it's an instant to boot, goddamn. I'd say this makes up for new Jace being utter trash.

Seriously even if it was a 1/1 for 4, it'd at least see play since you could fetch some of the really big Bestow guys (like that Archon) and have fun.
4/4 for 7 is both unplayable and overkill.
He makes a lot of the more unplayable Boros guys usable, like Blaze Commando & Palisade Giant.

Not sure if it's worth running alongside Ajani's Chosen or not given the cost but still I do like it
Would rather have anthem for aggro however.
