MTG Salvation

Quote from Gutterstorm »

I don’t think that’s necessarily the best way to describe it. If I play Athreos I can animate him by having five other exclusively white pips in play. Athreos cares about black and white. The only place it gets messy is with hybrid mana, and now this card. But as I said above, dollars to donuts, the intent of this card is to provide one devotion to every god.

Right, I think this is exactly what it means in this context. It's not that this is considered 5 colors with out being five colors, I think it means it's providing one devotion to every source that is checking for devotion to a color. So a black devotion card will see one devotion to black with this and a card that is checking for both say white and red will only check this once, not twice, providing again, one devotion.

The heck is the Green creature?! Exploration + Prismatic omen?! That's incredibly pushed, there's so many ways to abuse that.

This feels a bit like Kira, great glass-spinner in terms of power but hardier and one sided makes me love it. It's a tax instead of a hard counter but works on all spells they cast and on one more permanent type so that's a fair exchange I think.

That's worthy of a rare, not uncommon.

'buster

Yeah you're not kidding this is 100% a rare worthy card.

Another interesting option for the GU flash deck along side the new horse fish. I like them giving this deck more tools to work with.

Wahahah!!! All of the hunted creatures!!!

That's actually saintly good. As most people have mentioned getting BB out is really not that hard and a 2 mana unconditional removal spell is pretty spicy.

The GU flash deck is going to love this. I found it was having a little trouble with card draw but if every thing you play replaces itself that's some crazy value right there.

Wow that's... wow that really pushed. 3 mana draw three with basically no draw back is kinda nuts.

Man I'm already thinking were I want this guy to go. I'm pretty sure he already has a place in my Mathas, Fiend Seeker Wheels and Taxes EDH deck but I'm sure I'll find more places to put this good pupper, he's great utility.

There is actually one way to keep the enchantments on your Storm Herald, have you heard of our lord and savior Flickerform?

Glad i'm not the only one who thought of this, this is actually kinda nuts.

Hot damn that's nice. Haste to everything and sneak attack is A okay in my book.

das some serious ramp right der. Clock of Omens Unwinding Clock Voltaic key and many more are so happy to meet their new best friend.

yawgmoths will essential but worse

I like (however I already made the forum

I'm not sure it's necessarily worse. Unlike Yawgmoth's Will, cards that enter the graveyard after it comes into play also get escape. This means that you can potentially do some crazy stuff with cards like Lotus Petal or Lion's Eye Diamond (and obviously Black Lotus), if you can keep your graveyard stocked enough.

Yeah the bit that clinches this as potentially busted is the fact that things don't exile going into the graveyard, I had to do a double take on the card when you mentioned it. I can see this doing something nuts in legacy/vintage/EDH though it's potential outside of those formats is probably limited. I say probably because there are always small interactions that can break cards like this in half but as of yet are just unseen (obviously legacy/vintage/EDH it's fairly apparent what those things are but Standard/pioneer/modern less so at the moment.)

Deathbellow War Cry could be interesting way to deal a crap ton of damage with Fanatic Of Mogis, provided that they print some minotaurs in the future that have triple or quadruple red in their costs.

I am bad with rules but, in modern, can I kill the opponent on the spot if I fetch:

Changeling Berserker
Changeling Hero
Changeling Titan
Fanatic Of Mogis

What will you champion all those creatures with in this combo? And you can't stack champion creatures, if that's what this is supposed to do. Champion creatures replace another creature, they don't grant a bonus like Bestow.

Actually I get what they're going for this is essentially trying to do the Oblivion ring loop. So the champion loop does work since these are ETB triggers oppose to coming into play triggers ( Clone ) but this particular stated loop would not as we can see here represented by A( Fanatic Of Mogis ) and C,B,D (Champion Creatures)

A>B CD(Pending)

B>C A(Trigger) D(Pending)

C>D B(champion A)

The result is A under B and C under D with no loop created. Three champions does create a loop though so if you had some ETB trigger things this would be a interesting way to loop and kill your opponent, see Impact tremors, Purphoros, god of the forge, altar of the brood.

This Archon plus Nissa, Who Shakes the World = 6/6 vigilance lands. Called it first

I've been seeing a ton of Risen Reef+Nissa+Field of the Dead decks on Arena lately. I can see someone trying to jam this card into one of those decks. That's going to make removal like Massacre Girl super important in the upcoming format.in the 2020 event, I've been utilizing her far more than I usually do.

Well actually Massacre Girl won't solve this problem out right (at least not when the Archon is out) as they'd all be out of MG range with out some other way of killing their/your creatures. But I think you're right in terms of keeping the board under control before it's dropped, though with Scapeshift rotating out the deck will be far less consistent.
