    This card should be easy to transform in Breya, as you can just activate the ability on one of her tokens, then sac it and the second token to her ability. You get immediately refunded the mana from activating Breya, and you'll have more tokens for her later if 4/4's aren't good enough.

    I hope I can use Wall of Fortune to reroll the planar dice. It would be some excellent design if it can.

    The bans have really worked. A lot more random matches now. Those tutors should be gone in all commander formats.


    Tutors are fine in multiplayer

    Not in my opinion. They lead to stale board states especially since people net deck a lot. Plus no one enjoys losing to combo in multiplayer.

    Combo players will still combo in multiplayer, and while tutors help with that, they also help everyone else find answers to things that need answering.

    It's black border...it means is it legal in commander/legacy/vintage? Are we seeing a new mana crypt like card?

    If this supply is going to be as limited as Watchwolf says, I really hope this isn't legal in any format. I'm being pretty selfish here, as I collect planeswalkers, and I would hate this Chandra being legal, as there is no way I'd ever be able to afford one.

    I hope that Bloodline Keeper makes this FtV as it shot up to $16.49 after its expected absence in the new Vampire commander deck.
    I do have a theory that a card from Rivals of Ixalan will appear in this, as they've used From the Vaults before to preview cards in upcoming sets, and it could even make the token that's being put in this.

    posted a message on Jace, Cunning Castaway and new planeswalker rules
    Quote from SimicNuggets »
    And to reinforce the above point, the actual article was updated to include a note addressing Commander format:

    "Starting with this set, all planeswalkers past, present, and future will have the supertype legendary. They will also be subject to the "legend rule." The "planeswalker uniqueness rule" is going away. What does this mean? In short, everything that's true about legendary permanents will now be true about legendary planeswalkers. Also note that this does not mean legendary planeswalkers can be your Commander unless an ability says so."

    Smile


    This is good news as this means they wont start banning a bunch of planeswalkers in EDH.

    Was this officially spoiled anywhere? I know this was in the leaks, but I'd like to see if there is a clearer image for this card if possible.

    I find it funny that Grimlock is a better Werewolf commander than Ulrich.

    posted a message on June 13 banlist update - AETHERWORKS MARVEL BANNED
    Quote from Squirrelclamp »
    I played Hearthstone competitively for around two years and I was really surprised the first time Blizzard straight-up nerfed some overly strong cards that I'd been using in multiple decks (and allowed players to effectively trade those cards in for any other cards of equivalent rarity). I was happier still being able to play most of those cards than I would've been if they'd just banned them outright.

    I don't think that Magic should reintroduce functional errata, but watching Standard repeatedly shoot itself in the foot over the past year makes me a little more appreciative of Blizzard's approach to problematic cards.

    Except Blizzard even moved away from directly changing cards to effectively banning them in their standard format with Sylvanas, Fire Ragnaros, and Azure Drake being Wild only.
    My only hope from this banning is that Ulamog will be cheaper to get for EDH.

    This could be almost anything,
    but I'm guessing it will be more EDH-focused than other Masters sets.


    I'd hope so. I'd rather have an edh-centered reprint set if it were possible.

    If it's a more EDH focused set, this could make the packs cheaper.
