Triple Unsummon at Sorcery speed and double the cost? I wouldn't even play this in Limited.

Well, sea god's revenge was a Theros limited all-star. Losing scry 1 doesn't make in unplayable.

Edit: and you can return one of yours, say which was under a pacifism and with e ETb ability... so it's actually potentially better.

A better declaration in stone for CMC <= 2. Worse in standard, quite good in modern but probably too narrow to get played, so humans are still safe.

Eight lands, scapeshift, grab two of these and 6 different lands gives your 16 2/2. Doable reasonably on turn 6.

Couldn't you tuck Teferi with his own ability, then cast this? Then just hold out until you draw him again, which shouldn't be long in traditional WU control builds.

IN a control mirror? Maybe. The problem is you expose yourself to a counterspell, which would be devastating.

IIUC, people wanted something as strong as kaalia of the vast in standard?

I'm not even sure you prefer to have the one that requires you to already have something in hand, needs to attack and dies to a whiff as the commander instead of the one that digs. I assume people fill their kaalia deck with black tutors?

I find Golos crazy. You only need to blink him a few times to ramp and fix your mana. 3 free cards every turn is a big pay out. It doesn't even have the sorcery-speed restriction on its ability. If you build your deck with blink effects, its ability can even protect it from removal.

Superfriends is known as Superfriends or Midrange. He's talking about the traditional control.

He may or may not have, but the fact remain that the control deck in standard currently play small and big teferi and some narsets. Given that Teferi sticking is how they win, this doesn't play well with the best existing control deck.

It’s staying in the 20$ or above area because it’s like thee best graveyard defense card to have

Preorder prices would like to have a word with you.

There are just many more limited and standard players than modern. For them, this is a card to sell. It will be cheaper than 20.

For a second there I missed that the hexproof was only for blue and black. I thought modern infect was getting a toy. (You could cast this *before* turning inkmoth nexus into a creature...)

Hydra + hardened scales + panharmonicon is a 3 mana 8/9. Play it on turn 5 after panharmonicon, with X=3 and it's a 16/17 trampler.

OTOH, by itself, the doubling side gives you merely a creature that would be an average limited green uncommon beater. Funnily, if you blink it, the hydra comes back as four legs without a head.

Yikes. That make young pyromancer scary.

Early blocker, big beater, mana sink going wide. Yep, limited all star.

Another spirit lord? It does cost 3 instead of 2 and is otherwise weaker than the others.

Awwww. I wanted Chandra. On a plane. pewpewpew.

At least it flies.

At rare, you get two colors for life payment. At uncommon, colorless and a land count requirement.

Hey, it's uncommon card draw on a land. We can't have everything, like cheap mana base and low rarity.

Wording is weird. It's as if they start the card by making you think it won't target, as "choose" is the word of... choice (pun!) when a card does not target. Why is it not simply "Two target players each search their library of card ... bla bla"? Shorter and clearer.

But hey, it's power with weird Seb McKinnon art, so it can do what it wants.
