MTG Salvation

Ecstatic Awakener is such cheap liar! We all know his sacrifice was an already dead decaying corpse!

American Gothic zombies. Nice!

Two 2/2 for one card with GY hate value? at 1 and 2 CMC? What a common.

The commando took a long glass of water to fill its bladder and then took a long piss on rampage. For everyone saying that rampage was like it was because it was multi-purpose, this common is multi-purpose: can act like removal by blocking by surprise, give you a surprise attack,, plays as an instant, has it's main mode cost less mana, has a relevant type and does not give mana to your opponent. It's even modern playable replacing ouphe or cats with a SB human in the humans deck. All for the cost of not doing ramp.

If only there was a card that gave eveything in the GY flashback... of course, it would be no good if your opponent could just counter what you wanted to cast. Plus, it would be really nice if it could be cast the turn before. If only...

Woah that's a RARE? I thought "it better be common for that level of crappiness". Sure, i re-trigger ETB, but sorcery? Really?

Punisher removal card... your opponent must willfully block your strangler, then your opponent will sac stuff you don't care about to keep their bomb. Not the removal you want.

Please fix the images

Actually, smoldering egg could replace the storm spells in modern storm. We'd have to do the maths on the usual total CMC achieved though. (And relying on a creature for the win-con instead of a storm spell would make it way more fragile...). Still, might be worth in SB to counter some of the storm hate.

I keep wondering if the cards would all have been over-powered if they simply set to "day" (or "night") instead of this wordy conditional version?

Yes, it would have made switching easier, but IMO that's a plus because all these cards depending on day or night switching a really weak if you can't make the switch often enough to be worth it.

That seems like it might make Modern Humans a big deal again

That and many others from the set. Then again, the best humans have historically come from Innistrad: champion, various Thalia, her lieutenant, ... but honestly, not sure if modern human is really seeking more ways to make mana. The Adeline and Rem hold more promise.

More data point on the extremely contorted definition of strictly better. That thing is hard to track!

Sungold Sentinel only has half of protection. That ability means you can choose the color of any Equipments or Auras attached to her and they don't fall off, and she still dies blocking something of the chosen color.

Yeah, and it makes a total flavor fail is she's a sentinel. You'd think they'd have made her not tacking damage while blocking...

That's some rich peasant they got on Innistrad!

Not only that, it is not limited to your own creatures. And you can get two cards per full turn if your opponent is foolish enough to attack you into your blockers.

Man, having to restart your collection from scratch *every* month must be a drag.
