    We don't know if they are okay with releasing a 4 colored deck or the next 5 color deck. This could change some things up.

    Abzan and Temur are very likely, though.

    I would love an Orzhov Deck with a Cleric early game and Demon/Angel late game style. This would open the door for the 4th Sister of the Innistrads archangels, which could have some kind of strange payoff for playing demons or a separate payoff for playing black or white cards. The problem is that white and black already have their mono colored legendary.

    The same is true for boros, though. Only green and blue are missing their legendary. So Dimir is more likely than boros. If they release a Temur and Abzan deck, than all 3 colored color combinations would be done. So maybe they move to 4 colored decks before repeating the 3 colored ones.

    UB
    WBG
    GUR
    Some deck with at least WR maybe WUBR without artifact focus? Maybe with a flying focus -> Birds, Fairies, Phoenixes, Spirits, Demons, Sphinxes, Dragons and Angels.

    I actual really thankful that somebody is doing it. I can keep up with some reprints and some new cards without looking on 10 different pages and I don't mind seeing it later than others. So thanks.

    And I am not trying to convinced anybody. It is just my opinion :).

    The deck list and reprints are fine. I am surprised that they didn't add at least anointed procession.

    I believe Idol of Oblivion, Hate Mirage are missing.

    Exactly. In addition token doublers work great with populate. This not, not at all.

    I am not saying it is bad. Just that it needs another kind of deck or be cheaper. I feel like the effect is worse than a doubling token effect most of the time.

    It's too expensive to be used in normal token decks :/. A token doubling effect will be better most time and is cheaper. In some combos maybe.

    Her design is really cool. I have only one problem with her. The effect isn't on the egg-tokens. So she has to stick around for the cheat effect. On the other side... it works with other eggs I guess? This is a minus other than that I find her better/funnier than the other two legendaries.

    Hm this is the second Ravnica planeswalker. This is a coincidence right? There isn't a Ravnica red or black Planeswalker. Domri Rade for the populate deck?

    Oh. I would play this in my mono white deck. Works great with Smothering Tithe, too.

    From the Maro Blog:


    petruscaex asked: Is White getting any new effect or ability that it didn't had before?

    It’s doing something in Throne of Eldraine it’s never done before in our ongoing quest to help white in Commander.


    Now I am interested. What could it be?

  • posted a message on [C19] Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero and a new scarecrow.
    I don't know. I mean he seems powerful with cards that destroy multiple card types (at least creatures and something else) but how much Mana do you need for this? He cost 4 and the spell would cost about 6. So more often you have todo it in two turn or with a third card as support like vedalken orrey. If you blow out the lands and don't win in a couple of turns after than you have the same situation as with bad Armageddons.
    I would rather have him in the 99 and flash him out when somebody tries to wipe my board than play him in some combo that doesn't win you the game on the spot, costs about 10 mana and is that obviously.
    Flash would have been nice for his effect. At least you could use him as a Faith's Reward variant. A shame seeing how powerful urza is in comparison to him.
    But hey if I ever want to cosplay a character than I should cosplay him. Facial hair and hair is done :D.

    Gerrad is ehh different... Something that boros doesn't have till now but is he better than feather? I don't think so.
    I want to like Scaretiller but I think it only fit in specific build. I wouldn't play him in every deck for helping me ramping. I wouldn't play him over Solemn Simulacrum or Burnished Hart.


    I like how he is yet another option though for colors that don't normally have access to mana ramp.


    Yeah right. But how many option do we need that cost 4 or more? If you don't play any tab synergies than he can provide you one additional land from your hand or one from your graveyard on turn 5. He doesn't thin out your deck. The graveyard effect is nice because you could abuse this to get some sacrifice lands back, like fetches. I would rather play the mono colored options in white than him. He is great in Urza, Lord High Artificer, though. Get your Strip Mine back, every time. People will love him :D.
