Quote from Boyachi » Third, latest Ravnica block had Feather, the new favorite ANGEL Boros commander and War of the Spark had at the very least Parhelion II. There have been Angels printed in recent sets.
Quote from Ryperior74 »Quote from HighHolder »I'm pumped for this. Standard currently has zero playable creatures over 6 mana. I have lots of deck ideas to cheat in enormous finishers and nothing to play them with atm. It’s commander is where it’s more exciting we’re looking at colored less broken eldrazi’s coming in commander Heck I’m exspect a legend incolors so animar, soul of elements and Mayael the Anima can work together

Quote from Xcric »Quote from H3RAC71TU5 »Quote from Ritokure »Quote from Xcric »i don't doubt that at all, though i do hope white gets efficient removal to deal with those threats. efficiency being key. it'llmost likely be something stupid like 4W, exile target creature with a power greater than 5 or something that's just trash like that.White has its problems but removal is not one of them. If we give White more efficient removal, all that's going to do is make Esper or Azorius Control better and White will still be crap. What White needs is more tools to do things other than play a bunch of weenies, gain life and proceed to scoop phase as soon as an opponent draws a wrath. Can you expand your thoughts on the other things white should be able to do? After red's recent makeover it seems like it's white's turn again. i'd actually like to see white interact with the stack more. its blues thing sure, but why does that only have to be one color in the entire game's thing? so, expand on that idea, not necessarily in ways that blue does like counter target spell, more like... stifling abilities, delaying spells, redirecting them maybe, maybe spells that have effects based on other spells being on the stack, maybe something new like changing effects to something else, that sorta thing. there's a ton of options to explore there. combat tricks would also be nice to see developed a little more, not necessarily red's style of smash face, or green's make it big and smash face, but something more like... like that one commander spell that ends the combat phase, or darien king of kjeldor but as an instant style stuff. it'll never happen, but white also needs a better identity than what it currently has which is still kind of not one at all. its consistently labeled a support color, but it doesn't even do that all that well. it adds some tools sometimes to a greater package but those tools don't necessarily work everywhere either. i'd also love to see it go back to the weenies matter route, but to do that it has to be more aggressive too - more meekstone effects, more turning off abilities, more to do than just make 1/1's and 2/2's. right now feels like just before they revamped black - where it was kind of okay at a lot of things but not really (this is going back to before torment), or just before they revamped red over the past year, which opened up so many more options recently and made the color much more fun to play in environments that aren't just burn.

Quote from Ritokure »White Intervention: I expected nothing and was still disappointed. The first mode isn't THAT bad, sure, on that ratio it's kinda like a slightly better Crush Contraband which is... uh, not exactly a high bar to pass, but the second mode is atrocious. I was expecting Secure the Wastes and that second mode for XW at Sorcery, which would be boring af but at least Standard playable, but 4 mana to gain 4 life? Couldn't they even add in a "draw a card" to that second effect? It would still be worse than Revitalize - a freaking Common, mind you - but at least you could "cycle" it for WW if there's nothing to blow up, making it potentially maindeck playable. Heliod's Punishment: Really cool effect, cool art, nice flavor. Art seems like a throwback to Weight of the Underworld, even down to the yellow aura surrounding the black sphere. Not sure if it's good enough for Constructed though, the fact it removes all abilities is very nice but unless you're an aggressive deck, it's likely your opponent is getting his creature back before the game ends, but I still think it's overall better than Pacifism. Oh, and if you want to get cute with it, we do have Proliferate.
