MTG Salvation

Hex Parasite continues to be one of those cars that will be more and more useful the more things they print that involve counters.

GET IN MY ALESHA DECK

My Horde of Notions EDH deck is going to have a lot of fun with this. It will be able to produce a lot of mana and has a nice sink if I need it, these are all things I want. Paired with Nyxbloom Elemental for even more fun.

Well you go into slimefoot, the stowaway

Look I'm just happy to be able to finally get my hands on a Grim Tutor

I'm speechless

I can't even find the words to say how much I want this set. If I wasn't buying a box already this has 100% convinced me to buy a box. this feels like the first time I saw the Ravnica shock lands spoiled, I'm giddy for these things.

And it would be a fun tease of a future mechanic, something we hadn't done before.

*Tarmogoyf teasing tribal and planeswalkers cries in the corner*

I mean if you're going to be nitpicky about it, planeswalkers are a card type and not a mechanic. Plus, those didn't exist when Tarmogoyf was made, unlike mutate being a thing when Unsanctioned was being made.

No that's his point. The original Tarmogoyf was printed the set before those became a thing in magic, thus spoiling they would be a thing (they were referenced in the reminder text of the card).

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.
