This is actually better than mentor of the meek since you dont have to kick mana into it for the draw which makes your turn 4 play much more relevant. Yes you only get it once a turn but anytime I dont have to self tax to gain a card effect/advantage while also gaining a decent flyer I am all for that.

Champion of the Perished is gonna be a modern staple for zombies.

You do know this is a riff on Icatian Javelineers and Kjeldoran Javelineer right? At base its Ithican but it can grow like Kjeldoran if you manipulate the amount of +1 counters

I love this card but the original art always made me want a alt art. This is said art and its beautiful.

I do if only because green really doesn't get alot of just straight draw. Its either one off from directly damaging your opponent, cantrip effects, or under a count how many creatures/power toughness of creatures. I freely admit its not great, but on the same its not bad.

I'm trying new builds for modern shaman elf
what do you think ab out this list without archdruid?

Beastcaller for more black seems like it be a bit inferior, and you loose any chance to use big mana plays to overrun unless you have nettle and heritage on the field.

Personally I think this deck needs to go either Warmaster OR Dwynen's not both since they both represent timing issues in that Warmaster always wants to go first then you cast something and elite always wants to come second but in the early turns even with dorks can you sequence them enough to matter at the right time. While they both have the same into play problems, on subsequent turns Warmaster gives more tokens without the have elf in play issues that arise with Dwynen's. While I will concede that Warmasters pump ability is vastly inferior in some ways than Ezuri's it is a closer if you have archdruid.

well that's a horse of a different color

I would play Liesa and make her w/b group hate with a choice of the worst things you can do in multiplayer like kicked desolation angel,
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, , melding Bruna, the Fading Light and Gisela, the Broken Blade. Searching for the bits with Thalia's Lancers. Using Underworld Dreams, and forcing them to draw somehow. Many other taxing and interesting card in both black and white.

Why, seriously why? They already had cryptic command why does blue need ANOTHER freaking toolbox card like this? Even at 6cc this will be played especially in U/W control builds because three of the modes are pretty much assured to be used at once each time you use the thing and the fourth can help you end the game with your trump creature being copied. Least with cryptic you could only choose two modes.

Yeah people forget that you DONT always have to companion this. You can just play a set and then discard/sac the spoiled card to get the 5/5 demon.

The Junkyard Genius looks shockingly like it uses rejected Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty art.

IF people are under the assumption that the 120 rares in this set should ALL be $20 or more than yes, I see the complaining.
Of course I live in the real world.
ALL sets have a very low percentage of Mythic/Rares that are actually worth more than a pack (even worse now with all the variants and stuff), prices are RELATIVE.
We could also argue about politicians being Hypocrites but I thought we all knew that, (just like we should all know the formula WotC uses, since they've been using it pretty much the beginning)

okay i keep seeing this. lets talk about it.

its not that we want every rare to be $20. we don't. its not practical, and not really doable. especially since those $20+ rares will tumble in value.

what we want is value for our ******* money.

let me repeat that. we want value for our money. if we're going to be getting just 1 big reprint set per year, for a limited time, at an overly inflated price... we want to get what we ******* pay for. that doesn't have to mean every card is $20. it means that we need the average cost of the contents of a pack to equate to the cost of that pack. we don't want to be paying 16.99 for whatever and open rares we can't even give away. sure, opening that foil etched textured alt art horse ***** is great, but thats not every single pack. thats a huge gamble. they've turned packs into nothing but glorified scratch off tickets. that's the problem. we stopped getting what we're paying for except in the off chance we open something of high value. we need a more even keel.

so to reiterate, sure, reprint those 100+ dollar cards, but the padding should be cards in the 10+ dollar range because they won't stay there as supply increases - not this bulk rare can't give them away bull***** we have padding it out instead. this is not a cheap product to purchase.

additionally, like... who the **** is this product for?

its at an inflated cost, it has powerful reprints, but then its mashed full of cards only played in edh. its mashed full of ***** no one plays in any format. its mashed full of ***** played in multiple formats. so it becomes a set you really can't skip if you, you know play anything that isn't standard. its for whales yet includes edh, casual, legacy, pioneer, and modern reprints that see play. thats who this is for though ultimately, whales. whales who can just go and go and go. this in turn also drives up the price of your older things that are harder to get as now they can also leverage sales of in demand cards from this set - where most others can't. whales that can buy and buy and buy and eat the cost of a box that doesn't give them dick, and they don't have to think about it.

your average player? they're going to get burned frequently because they're able to open far less, meaning theres less way to offset the needless ******* bloat across the board.

sure there's some good rares, and some great mythics, but for every imperial seal we got a kederekt leviathan and an oona's prowler. when you're spending so much on a pack, opening these is like chugging milk left out in the sun for a week - its ******* sour.

then it also conflicts with drafting new capena AND commander legends 2 - making it even more difficult for drafts to fire too as people show up and want to different sets.

so... **** this product at this price point and where it falls in the release window too.

buy singles - because opening this ***** at the cost required for entry is not a good experience. its the same issues as the first double masters - but now with more gambling!

This might have been designed for werewolves but it’s going straight into my Boros Humans deck. A 1/2 body with menace is an upgrade on all 1 drop humans in this standard.

I can only read this in the voice of the Mighty Monarch.

Can we call it Steppe Jinx and be happy with that?

I love when the rules feel for the players.

Now the question is, is it pronounced ZAGras, or ZaGRAS?

But then, no one listens to Zagras anyway.

Lurrus is still good in the 60 of some decks, and you can run 4 of it and 4 of this... could some Lurrus cat oven deck want this? Can also do fun things with Revival or Call of the Death-Dweller or Necropanther, or Rally the Ancestors in historic.

This could be a 0/1 and I'd still strongly consider it as a commander.

You can use it to kick blood tribute

Let's put that picture together
