    For as bomb-y as Golgari looks, I'm thinking Dimir is just too synergystic to not play at the pre-release.

    I turned the mobile viewer option off earlier today because it was cutting off images, but now I cannot reactive it. I can't find a menu or button to do so. Can anyone help?

    Do we have anything yet in Standard that wants to be sacrificed?

    We're seeing a lot of tools for a Rock archetype to come back, but are there any cards that make Vraska's +2 into a competitive card draw engine to Karn's +/-1?

    Midnight Reaper, perhaps. The Reassembling Skeleton mitigates the sacrifice, even if it is a little slow. On the upper end of the mana cost spectrum Open the Graves is a possibility. Pitiless Plunderer can give you a treasure token for your trouble. Nothing really spectacular yet but in black/green you can probably spam some saproling tokens which you won't mind sacrificing if need be. You would already have to be ahead and the game would have to be slow but you could even Journey to Eternity before the sacrifice to net you a land and an instant-speed resurrection engine for later turns. The "may" clause is good here because in earlier turns sacrificing a permanent can be difficult but we did also get to see the Golgari Findbroker today to recover that permanent back to hand. *shrug* We'll just have to see what else falls out of this set.


    There's also the M19 zombie one-drop. Stitcher's Supplier

    No they meant poisonous 10 because the creature gives 10 poison counters when it connects. Its a joke thematic to the walker that would be nice to see


    But it isn’t thematic.

    She doesn’t poison anyone to death. Gorgons petrifize their targets by looking at them and thus turning them to stone. It would be a flavor fail if she gave out poison.


    It's not her killing the person though, it's her assassins, and poison is a classic tool of such agents.

    I was just thinking about building Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord for commander.

    My biggest issue with this card is that it kills Isperia. I just put together a list for sphinx tribal with Yennett as the commander. Here I was thinking I was guaranteed a new legend to add to the deck.

    Damn.



    I've been playing Sphynx Tribal for years, my friend, and trust me: this is a good thing. Now, we just need the Golgari or Rakdos to resurrect her to give us a 4 color Legendary Sphinx so we can branch out and include all the good* riddle-type choice cards from either green or red too.


    *flavorfully good

    Still this card is pretty powerful. I feel like it's an upgraded cast down. Yea, there were cards before it, but yea... This card sounds like a good play no matter whether it's early/mid/late game. Just glad it says target at least...granted I don't think you can make lands hexproof or indestructible so your still hosed against this. Not only that, it gets rid of artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers and timmy creatures.

    if I were BG I'd run 3-4 of these in the deck.


    Modern has ways. Elspeth emblem, Heroic Intervention, etx.

    Quote from Amudeauss »
    Holy *****, I need that card. I need 20 of it. I personally see it becoming a 4-of in Jund, and Fatal Push and Lightning Bolt's numbers going down. Probably something like 3 bolts, 3 pushes, 4 trophies. And abrupt decay? Never going to see another modern main-deck slot. Also, sidenote-this card has been spoiled for less than 12 hours and has already hit the low $30 range on TCGPlayer. Yeah, it's gonna be the money rare for the set. (Also, hello GB standard decks!)


    Why would Bolt come down?

    Quote from kysg »
    Fatal push rotates...
    and don't you mean lightning strike and shock?


    They are referring to Modern.

    Then again, since when is either Azor or Isperia larger than a town?

    That's a bridge and tower in the foreground, with a long staircase leading up to it. Stunning art is stunning art, but seriously, she's bigger than a leviathan here.

    (can see it on Seb Mckinnon's hi res)


    Have you looked at Isperia, Supreme Judge? She's colossal.

    Umm... did I see Watchwolf? I'm totally fine with a reprint.


    If it were reprinted, I assume it would use the new lame art from Masters 25, so I doubt the card in the trailer is Watchwolf. Frown


    EDIT: Actually... It looks like it is Autumn in the background... One of the key points of this set is that it is Autumn on Ravnica... And why would they make new art for Watchwolf in Masters 25 when they could just have used the awesome old art... I think this might mean Watchwolf is going to be in the set!!!


    That wasn't new art. It was the promo art.
