Ack. Why doesn't this work on permanents your opponent controls? That would have been so cool. I don't really run very many spells that target my own creatures, really, so this is a dead mythic to me, unless I build a new deck for him. Which, I guess, but there are a lot easier to use shapeshifters out there.
Largely because the card advantage swing on "murder your dude, make a copy of him" would be ridiculously strong. This way you're at least typically investing cards into getting your copies, not just getting them for free for playing your kill spells as kill spells.
murder doesn't work.... but Ram Through and similar spells certainly do.
A wrath you can play on Turn 3 is pretty spicy. Especially since a deck going shields down in the early game looks enticing for an aggro deck to play cards into.
And hey, if it gets to 5 land before it gets used, you have enough to cast it and Foretell something else.
well, it's playable on turn 3 if you waste your turn 2 foretelling it.
still, 5 mana boardwipes are oftentimes playable even if I don't think anyone will be swapping their Shatter the Sky for this anytime soon.
I don't know about that. Gaining 2 life a turn can be a good tool to keep stabilizing against a red deck in Standard. If you Shatter the Sky, then drop this the following turn. The game can quickly get out of reach for red decks. I usually stabilize against red at 3 or less life, then I lose 2 - 3 turns later when they draw a burn spell.
huh?
why would anyone need to drop this after a boardwipe against a straight forward aggro deck?
I mean, wouldn't just the boardwipe be enough against monored like 95% of the time?
If I exile Cosima in my upkeep she permanently gains that ability right?
So if I bring her back to battlefield and my opponent uses Path to Exile on her... She still has the ability to return to battefield with a land drop, right???
I don't think so.
objects changing zones are considered new objects.
so, no, when she comes back into the battlefield, she's there just like she had just came in the first time.
having to pay for that kind of effect will make this creature really clunky to use, and dudes like this haven't been good in limited....
with enough redundancy they might be great for aggro cosntructed decks in non high level competition when you don't have to soak mana into them every turn, at the end of the day it's just one of those cards that appeal to no one.
filler common that you'll cut out from 90% draft decks.
I mean, just 5 runes, and like 2 cards that mention them? why even bother, really?

man, this is likely the worst rare in the whole set.
just throw it and keep it there generating mana here and there. then sometime down the line it will Sphinx's Revelation for 2, and for the same cost
for a very recent parallel, it's kinda like Sea Gate Restoration
I can see this being played as 1of in every UW control standard deck that ends up in the meta.
I don't think so.

counter target boardwipe.
this seems really, really crazy.
what a powerful card.
what a crazy original, powerful design!
I love this card it's spectalularly cool.
I'm absolutely making something Janky with it and Yorion, Sky Nomad
meh.

this "2 spells a turn" archetype with a crapton of 1 mana stuff will probably be very fast in draft
