    Well goodstuff will definitely be the main reason to play her/him. I heard that he/she could be the Gate-Commander Maze's End.

    RWB Aggro - Maybe a toned down version of Kaalia of the Vast or something with Raid
    GUR Elementals - Three color Omnath would be nice to see, or a human who makes elementals when X happens
    BGU Control/ETB - lots of options here, reanimation/return to hand, Panharmonicon type of effect, since it's not white I doubt flickering will be a part (i think it would be a bend for blue, even so I doubt it), I'd like to see a "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield trigger all other enters the battlefield effects" creature but that might be a bit too much
    WBG Go Wide - token maker is obvious, maybe a weaker Beastmaster Ascension on stick if you attack with X or more tokens


    Well nailed the Mardu one. Good suggestion.

    Do we need some Dragons/Demons/Angels for her in the same set? I mean Nahiri was in spark wars without any equipment, only providing first strike. At the moment we have like one Angel if I remember correctly.

    I hope your Go Wide suggestion for Abzan is true, though.

    Well we surely need an Angel Knight :D.

    There is plenty of space in the list for at least 2-3 more Angels and the cleric seems to support the theme. Other colors are getting tools against flying creatures so I hope we will see more angels.

    enough for angelic accord, though.
    Hope that instead of the accord (which makes regular 4/4) we get something that makes Serra Angel tokens.
    It could also be a little confusing having both kind of tokens at the same time in standard... Or at least I can imagine s***ty players trying to cheat with them to some extent.


    Yeah right. I wasn't talking about standard but yeah I don't expect them printing 4/4 Angel Token sources for standard while the better 4/4 Angels Tokens are in. I could see 3/3 Angel Tokens. There are better distinguishable and already exists. In standard there are multiple 1 mana life gain sources. You already mentioned them. So t3 Resplendent Angel + token could be a thing. The problem is you can attack at t4 and there exist board wipes on t4. But Boros/Mardu Angels was funny for a while.

    1 Attack is nice, making this creature easier searchable and easier to resurrect in white.

    enough for angelic accord, though. Oh and with Divine Visitation you replace the spirit with an Angel and gain another 4 life.

    Edit: Oh no now I expect more angel than just 1 for draft/sealed. I know I will be disappointed.

    It is a flashy effect that can give you a ton of life (situational) on a high cost card in white. We saw them before. Evra, Halcyon Witness, Resolute Archangel, Beacon of Immortality etc. Life doesn't end games. I don't thing that this card is better than Evra, Halcyon Witness that doesn't saw much play. This is just too situational. You need like a huge bord state, 2 turns/6 Mana. Life gain decks tend to have small life gain effects but multiple at the same turn. Even in limited is situational. You don't want to play this on an empty board if your life total is higher than 6, well at least it is a may effect. Mana sink is nice in limited but I don't know if 12 Mana is worth it.

    Oh he creates Ajani's Pridemate now. Well this confirms that white theme will be life gain this time. Is a one sided wrath. Nice.

    The only different is that she has the power up without trouble at the start of the game. Cards with life point costs have a similar advantage. Look at toxic deluge and co.

    I really like Angels normally but this one is kind of strange?
    She fits in some of the Naya decks I saw with Mayael as commander or lead the deck as commander I guess. The +1/+0 is a little odd for a card that is green and white. Is this the red influence? The revive effect is more greenish than white but could fit for both colors. I like the art except for the face. Her face looks strange.

    Well is the first Naya Angel creature. So some Angel tribal potential. Play Sigarda, Gisela and the other Boros Angels. Or play her in Morophon and pay 2 Mana for a 5/4 Flying Body with upside.

    Well the interesting part here is that she is only number 4 and has a life gain theme. Ajani fits before her and had some life gain abilities in the past. Maybe we get some more Angels with some kind of life gain payoff.

    I know it doesn't fit for white but some kind of "create {W} when gaining life, spend this mana only for white spells" or something like that would be cool.

    Wow amazing. And just an uncommon OMG

    I assume white would be Gideon or Ajani. If it is themed around the story of Chandra than both make a lot of sense. Gideon and Chandra were good friends and had some adventures together with the Gatewatch. And we saw in the comics that Ajani was with Chandra in the end. I don't think that they can print another red Planeswalker so Tibalt seems unlikely. Even as Rakdos Planeswalker and he doesn't seems to be mono black. Ob Nixilis or Liliana are more likely. For Green, I don't know if Chandra ever met Garruk and Nissa seems like the perfect candidate. Jace and Chandra started as foes and ended as friends. I think they can print some cards that picture this development. So he fits. Didn't they fight against Sarkhan (still mind controlled by bolas)? He was red/black at that time, so unlikely. And Ramaz (I believe he was Temur colored) manipulate her to find the dragon fire scroll.

    We already got 4 Characters from that list. Historically the Commander products where the place for old/known characters. But Modern Horizon seems to change this for this year. Sadly because we won't get any Planeswalker as Commander from that set.

    Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar (from Dominaria, author of the Underworld Cookbook)
    "Curse Guy" (from Commander (2017 Edition))
    Gix (from original Phyrexia)
    Hal and Alena (from Innistrad)
    Khallist Rhoka (from Ravnica)
    Pashalik Mons (from Dominaria)
    Shadowblayde (from Kaladesh)
    Unnamed white-black Angel sister (from Innistrad)
    Yawgmoth (from original Phyrexia)

    From the list above Hal and Alena, Gix, Vatti (Shadowblayde), Pashalik Mons and Innistrad Black/White Angel have the best chances.
    Khallist Rhoka is a Planeswalker and dead. So he could only show up in Modern Horizon. In Commander would be strange because they did this theme last year.
    "Curse Guy" just seems unlikely. He is a planeswalker, isn't he?
    Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar will be difficult to get a card with that name.
    Yawgmoth... uff I mean it depends. If they take an early version of him okay. Not the God, poison-cloud version.

    Didn't Maro mentioned that Modern Horizon will contain some revamp of old legendaries like Gerrard?
    I can see Hal and Alena in Commander with the partner mechanic.


    Modern Horizon included two cards of the list. The remaining characters are:
    Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar (from Dominaria, author of the Underworld Cookbook)
    "Curse Guy" (from Commander (2017 Edition))
    Gix (from original Phyrexia)
    Hal and Alena (from Innistrad)
    Khallist Rhoka (from Ravnica)
    Shadowblayde (from Kaladesh)
    Unnamed white-black Angel sister (from Innistrad)

    Thinking about this... Hal and Alena would be nice as partner commander. "Curse Guy" and Khallist Rhoka are unlikely because of the fact that planeswalker was the last commander product theme. Maybe the theme of the next commander product is "different commander mechanics" each deck have a unique combination of old commander mechanics. For example:
    Deck 1:
    1. Planeswalker as Commander (Face)
    2. Experience Counter (alternative)
    3. Some reprinted option
    Deck 2:
    1. Experience Counter (Face)
    2. Partner (alternative)
    Deck 3:
    1. Partner (Face)
    2. Scale if cast often from the commander zone (alternative)
    Deck 4:
    1. Scale if cast often from the commander zone (Face)
    2. Planeswalker as Commander (alternative)
    3. Some reprinted option

    This would make it possible to get some (fewer) planeswalker.

    Well 241 is still open so that leak about the enchantment Academy Ruins-Land seems true.

  • posted a message on MtG MMO - what do we hope to see?
    I would like to start as a normal creature-card-Type character and become a Planeswalker after ending the starting zone. This involve a epic story, a mess up situation/sacrifice etc.
    I could see different starting planes as starting zones depending of the chosen race like human -> Innistrad, Dominaria, Theros or merfolk -> Ixalan, Theros, Dominaria etc. Races are bound to colors for example no red merfolk. Maybe adding some race specific spells, too. You can't play any mana construct race like demons, angels, elements or undead creatures like zombies. I think the races need to be limited because MTG has too much.
