Personally, I'm really loving all of the ghost pirates we've gotten. Gives me a Curse of the Black Pearl kinda vibe.

100% buying Seb McKinnon SL. Already 4 of my favorite cards in Magic (yes, including Swamp ;)), plus Seb is one of my favorite artists. I miss RK Post and Daarken being everywhere. And Puddnhead.

Charix sounds like a red elemental card, how is it a blue crab? What were they smoking when they named him...

Actually, they used the word Cancrix a couple times recently to refer to a crab in mtg, stemming from the ancient greek word for crab.

Cancer comes from the ancient greek word for crab, which these words all stem from. It's a very apt name for a giant crab.

boombox_smk posted a message on [ZNR] Full set reveal

Quote from FlossedBeaver »
I get that it's not a high powered standard set - and that's fine, considering all the complaining that we've had about balance recently - but there's a lot in here for other formats. I'd rate it at least 7/10 for my interests.

Anyone care to discuss all the implications for EDH?

I, for one, am glad it's not another over-tuned, ill-tested trainwreck. There are numerous cards here I'm already brewing with, and I find a number of them perfectly serviceable in Standard, especially with the Azusa, Lost but Seeking/Radha, Heart of Keld deck I've been running, already. The MDFCs are fire with Azusa. Play em face down early to ramp up, then cast whatever you want.

Opponent plays Mountain turn 1.
Me: `Excellent...`

Charix, the Raging Isle + Arcades, the Strategist.

How are you giving Charix defender?

Lol I was thinking the effect, but it works with High Alert.

Ooh boy, damn shame High Alert is rotating out.
Solid Footing isnt

Sure, but giving it +1/+1 doesn't seem worth a card.
Sure, but giving it effectively +18/+1 does. You just have to finangle vigilance onto it.

Modern Tron decks can hit 7 mana either really easily (Green Tron) or with some difficulty (Eldrazi Tron).
Yeah but Modern Tron has better things to do by paying 7, nevermind the fact ramping it out with Tron will give you less counters by default. I guess it's a decent target for Karn, the Great Creator though.

"Dies to wrath"

People here are getting more creative with their creature critiques.
You can spend 7 and rely on your opponent to make this bigger, or you can minus yourself with a specific type of sppell to spread this into smaller bodies - neither effect is good in Standard, nevermind Eternal formats. If you're not considering how your opponent's cards interacts with this, your baseline here is a 4/4 vanilla for 4.

Smaller but more numerous bodies. If you have Glorious Anthem, it's a 5/5. If they target it, you get 5 2/2's. If you scale that up with Forsaken Monument it is a 6/6, when targeted you get 6 3/3's. If gladly target it on my opponent's end step to get 18 power on the table.

This + Forsaken Monument? It's a 6/6, and then you target it during opponent's EOT and get 6 2/2's?

Better...Six 3/3's.

Yeah...my bad. Six 3/3's. Whoop whoop!

While I won't be looking for the party mechanic here, it also triggers off other rogues, so at least in a Rogue-tribal deck it'll be unblockable almost always.

The different mana cost nonsense just ruins the card. Is patriarchs bidding that powerful?
This set blows, this card was my last hope and they totally screwed it.

Goblin Bidding and Beast Bidding in Standard made it seem that powerful, to me.

Should’ve been instant and this is about nine months too late.

3feri would've made it a sorcery anyway.
