Nov 30, 2017Tiro of Meletis posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemActually, this article is the entire problem. Neo-Nazis? Really? Way to buy into propaganda. And the Trump reference about "locker room talk" - way to push your political agendas on a card game forum and assume your opinions are the status quo, and the only right way to think. That's why everyone is sick of liberals and SJWs. Arrogance and ignorance. No one gives a damn bro, we're here for card games. Get over yourselves and off your righteous soapbox.Posted in: Articles

OH HO HO HO HOOOOOOO MY FRIENDS, THIS IS PRFECT
THIS IS EXCELLENCE INDEED!
A MYSERIOUS UNDERWATER THASSA SHRINE! AND HERE IS OUR GLIMPSE HERE!!!
HNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
MY BODY, MY HEART, MY HEALTH, HOLD ME SIS AM FAINTING AND CAN'T GET UP NO MOOOOOOOOOEEEEE
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! BRING ME THE ONE WHO DESIGNED THIS ASAP BRING THEM BEFORE ME NOW OKAY
OKAY
OKAY
Let's collect ourselves off the damn sloppy floor and attempt some COHERENT ANALYSIS OF THIS BEAUTY WE HAVE RIGHT HURRRRRR
First and FOREMOST, the PERFECTION of this card actually PAINS me, ESPECIALLY when I consider the legion of players I am about to steamroll over to obtain it ASAP, sad that the first person to pull this will be mauled and SACRIFICED and they will know true fear in this moment so y'all better PRAY AND PLEAD that I pull this instead of that UNFORTUNATE SOUL that will be ENDED OUTRIGHT TRULY
IT JUST HURTS DUDE. IT DOES. LIKE LITERALLY THIS IS A FREAKING FLAVOR CHARACTER I ALWAYS WANTED FROM THEROS AS A VORTHOS, THAT IS A PRIEST OF FREAKING THASSA HER DAMN SELF, THE EMBLEM OF MY DECK AND ALL MY DESIRE AND WISHES IN THIS DAMN GAME, AND THEY GO AND ADD AN EFFECT THAT SUPPLEMENTS THE ORIGINAL THASSA FOR EVEN MORE FLAVOR WIN
ANNNNNNDDDDD ADD THE TIMMY BENEFIT OF SUPPORTING SEA MONSTERS???????!!!!!!!!! AT THE SAME TIME?????!!!!!!!
AND AND AND ADD SIMIC ACTIVATION TO SUPPORT ARIXMETHES, MY PRECIOUS LOVE?
Holy salty sea tits sis
YEEEEEESSSSSSS!! It's as if I designed this card myself, FOR MYSELF!
IT'S LITERALLY THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
ART
THEME
VORTHOS
SEA MONSTER SUPPORT
EFFECT
ALL OF IT PERFECTION AND A HALF AND IT'S EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND MORE!!!!!
I SAW THIS LAST NIGHT and had to take a whole damn day and half just to recover enough from being THIS STUNNED to even sit here and type ANYTHING
THIS IS MY PERMANENT COMMANDER FOREVER, MY FRIEND GROUP WILL SUFFER FOR ETERNITY WITH THIS ACROSS THE TABLE AND I WILL RELISH IN THEIR MISERY FOR ALL TIME AND NOT CARE FOR A SINGLE SECOND ABOUT THE DEPTH OF THEIR GENUINE SUFFERING AND AGONY AS THEY ARE SWARMED WITH PRECIOUS SEA BABIES AND DROWNED IN SALT AND STUFFED WITH KELP LIKE A WET BUILD A BEAR
THEY WILL PERISH FROM MY HYPE AND I WON'T EVEN SPARE A SINGLE CARE IN THE WORLD AS TIME AND AGAIN
ACROSS THE TABLE
WILL SIT KENESSOS
TO DELIVER THE REPEATING TURMOIL OF PRECIOUS SEA BABIES APPEARING FROM NOWHERE FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE EXCEPT TO SATISFY MY OBSESSION
God this card reminds me of how much I ADORE being such an insufferable obsessed and particular messy gay horror of a man that cannot possibly be tolerated and forces every soul on this EARTH to accept the FACTS AND REALITY that they MUST as I relish in my consuming and relentless desires
Now my playgroup will truly pay for constantly exiling my Bident of Thassa ever since Kiora stole it! Now let us DELVE DEEP (PUN <3) SISTERS, INTO OUR PRECIOUS BEATY:
THE CHARACTER- I have wanted a Kenessos card since I read the flavor text of Thassa's Bounty !!! I just LOVE that he is a priest of Thassa, and this is a VORTHOS DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME to have him, not only in card form, but with that EXACT TITLE in his card name to indisputably declare his brilliant role. Which will NEVER be mistaken. It's LITERALLY ME in card form! AND they rightfully made him a Merfolk Cleric to perfectly encapsulate his flavor and objectives as our divine patron's servant and devotee! EXCELLENT! A character I want, with the perfect name and on a card at long last!!!!!! THE PERFECT COMMANDER!
THE ART - 10/10 - GORGEOUS! I ADORE that elegant, pristine, ominous statue of Thassa in the top left of the art! Such a beautiful depiction! Classic, powerful, looming, SUBMERGED! And the shrine to the krakens as well, such beauty! ARE THOSE THASSA'S TIDELOCK PEARLS GLOWING AS WELL?! Kenessos is looking absolutely brilliant and powerful, a true representation of this excellent character that rules over all MTG's flavor and destroys all your fave cards immediately WITHOUT QUESTION - even his staff mimics the Bident!
THE EFFECT
OH Lordy LORDTTTT.
Where do I begin sisters? WHERE
From the top
Okay so the scry augmentation is just excellence incarnate. NOT ONLY do I consistently tutor Madam Wet from Theros for constant scry and maximum flavor impact (TM) but now she will be supplemented. Also, the Theros cards I play for critical theme reasons almost all have scry, which is perfect! Not to mention the scry is much welcome and needed consistency for Sea Monster tribal, allowing me to filter ramp to the top early game and large CMC smashies for later when I would have Kenessos or mana or both. SO THIS IS EXCELLENT. PLUS I can blinky blink scry creatures with new Thassa for synergy!
But the TREASURED EFFECT is the second one. This is what I am TALKING ABOUT
FINALLY my deck can function with a DEDICATED COMMANDER that facilitates the strategy! AT LONG LAST an early drop Legend appears to pull the deck together and allow it to be viable. THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
4 mana - instant speed - simic activation to allow for Arixmethes, Koma and others - and with scry synergy will allow the top card to most likely be a sea monster - which can be put directly onto the battlefield! FINALLY! This is the effect my deck needed! No more hard casting on turn 8 one card and that's all! THE DECK HAS PLAYS NOW! It'S SEA MONSTER SUPPORT, LIKE ACTUAL SUPPORT!
THIS IS PERFECT EXCELLENT BRILLIANT
It's advantage, coming from the top of the deck directly onto the board! All the Scry ensures proper timing, and I can do it as the end phase so on my turn, I can swing with a surprise SEA BABESH! All on a low CMC creature, so he can be an early play that sets up the deck and augments the early scry effects to properly establish the future game - ALL REPRESENTATIVE OF THASSA's DEEP INTROSPECTION AND FUTURE PLANS AS THE SEA GODDESS!
Thassa have mercy on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is just GREAT
It's a far superior and thematic Quicksilver amulet - no limits, excellent mana sink, instant speed off the top of the deck, corrects the draws if no viable target appears by adding it the bottom of the deck, and adds synergy with scry tactics to mold the deck into appropriate plays - truly, this is even far superior to the Gishath equivalent I had originally requested for this deck. This is much better!
Man I just love having a coherent deck, led by a flavor character I have always wanted, that facilitates my deck's goals, and most of all, serves Thassa all the same! IT'S LITERALLY ME IN CARD FORM! My friends are all hype too, saying it's as if I designed this for MYSELF! The perfect card for me! And they're actually concerned about my deck being consistent now instead of just draw pass die in style!
I really could NOT have asked for a better card and FINALLY HAVE IT! <3 <3 <3 <3
Can you just imagine? Thassa double scying, new Biblioplex Kraken scrying 4, all this setup, and then BAM, 4 mana and reveal a Hullbreaker Horror or Lorthos at the opponent's end phase and begin my turn with precious beauties of the deep sliding into those DMs????
ARE YOU SERIOUS
ARE
YOU
SERIOUS
LOOK AT THIS ART - THOSE ADORABLE GLASSES, BEAUTIFUL SLEEK PURPLE FORM, AND A CLAW HOLDING A LITTLE BOOK AS A TENTACLE CRUSHES SOME FOOL
AND SCRY 4 WITH KENESSOS??? A KNOWLEDGE KRAKEN THAT IS PERFECT FOR MY DECK
THIS SET JUST GIVES AND GIVES AND GIVES!!!
AND I WILL GLADLY TAKE MY FRIENDS
I SHALL AND WILL!!!!!!
BEST SET OF THE YEAR HOW DARE WOTC HOLD THE HELL OUT ON US ALL YEAR WITH THIS WAITING UNTIL DECEMBER?????
Love Drafna's art
