Jun 8, 2019Thenightmare posted a message on The End of an EraThis makes me very happy. You have no idea how many times in the last week I've clicked on my bookmark for this site and suddenly been hit with "Yeah this place is closing soon.." again and it just feel like a kick in the stomach. Knowing there's something in the works feels good.Posted in: Articles

And here all I was thinking was chandra's ignition
oh...oh no... oh crap. That's um... hmmm. Yeah something here will need to get banned.
This actually unlikely as Jin Gitaxias is supposed to be the one infiltrating Strixhaven, I doubt they'd double up in the infiltration team. And even so as far as we know Koth and Melira are still fighting the good fight.
Yeah this art fits way better with the Hans they printed, only real issue is not the flavor text does not match what's happening. I understand them wanting to keep the cards as they were in the original set but there's a real disconnect with the card now.
IT IS WHAT??? I have had mine since TSB so I honestly never checked but $135??? Dear lord I really need to get around to price checking my cards again.
Yeah I missed the and/or part on this on my initial glance, that's actually WAY better than I first thought.
No, it's a little weirdly worded but what it means is if you payed for the cards colored mana with snow mana it gets the bonus. So if you uses a snow-covered forest to pay for Cultivator of Blades G you'd get the extra +1/+1 counter
Yeah this is the attitude that allowed me to pick up 25 Tarmogoyfs at the Futuresite prerelease for $5 a pop. Under/over estimating a card before we actually get some testing time with it is rarely productive.
As for what I think. It's not screaming overly good at me, that being said I can certainly see the correct conditions in which this could generate a lot of value. It's very clearly meant more for standard than say Modern or Pioneer, not enough immediate impact on the board though we have also not seen what other boast cards there are in the set. There could be a few that are cheaper and dropping this after an attack in which your opponent evaluated you would not be able to trigger the boast only to have this sure up the difference in the cost could very well be back breaking. I think if we get something along the lines of Mirror entity or Shields of Velis Vel could really skew how we're evaluating this, and this would be the set to do that.
So actually I have deck already kinda built for this card, and it's primarily a goading deck.
That being said the big one that's work wonders with this card is Lightmine Field. Jared ignores it when you're the monarch and actively disincentives your opponents from swinging out with their whole team. Also for all the people complaining he doesn't have any abilities like trample... I mean you're in Nya... Rancor or any of the other myriad ways of give him some keyword ability exist. He's not overly broken but ask yourself, does he need to be? I actually like the availability of lower power commanders, it allows for more toned downed games.
Oh that's a great catch!
... HOW? This really feels like a card that just needs to be banned out right. There's practically almost no excuse for any deck that cares about getting their commander out and running ASAP to not be running this.
What? The RC is a separate entity from WotC, they have no investment in whether a product sells or not.
