Also, Forbes are previewing a card? What the **** lol
It's not bad....
not the best card ever, sure, but not bad. I could see it being playable in some standard environments....
it's a 3/3 flying double striker that gives you hexproof and a second chance if you should be killed with it on the battlefield for 5 mana....
it also is pretty complex with a really fresh effect.
everything in the card screams mythic for me.
mythic doesn't straight up means "tournament playable card" , hell Worst Fears is mythic.... and a SUPER BAD one in constructed.
but mythic nevertheless.
Everything about it to me screams, card that shouldn't have been mythic and will barely, if at all, see any play outside of the unlucky people who get it in their packs for sealed/draft. Straight to the binder where it'll live out it's days.
It's exactly cards like this that's a reason why I prefer just buying singles.
And here it is, the Limited-ruining mythic. Wonder if it has a home outside of Limited and Commander.
Games have to end at some point though. What's the point in having a bomb if it doesn't end a game?
Too bad it's only your own graveyard and not all graveyards. The last couple of ooze cards they printed have all been kinda... not too good.
It's an angel and it has a wall of text that includes checking if you would die, doubling your life, and "you lose the game." If the mythic rarity is going to exist at all, then this must be mythic.
"It's not good" - uh ok, that isn't a requirement for any rarity and we don't want all the most pushed cards to be mythic anyway. Also, it's a 3/3 flying doublestrike that grants you hexproof, for 5 mana, with additional strict upside. It's good enough.
Every set has bad mythics, so in that sense I guess so. It's still bad though and shouldn't be mythic. Sure wouldn't be happy pulling this card from a pack hehe.
Night's Reach is alive. Bolas had defeated her and stripped away most of her dark power, and stolen her genuine porcelain mask (her "divinity counter") but she had fled again. I imagine the Sisters can restore her, and probably have. But all I can be sure about is that she survived.
If you didnt die on camera for everyone to see, you are not dead.
Can't wait for the Star Wars crossover so I can play an Emperor Palpatine commander deck...
There better be a card called "UNLIMITED POWER!!!"
If they can do a Gangster setting then a Western set is more possible. It will show us how they will creatively work around the guns aspect of a genre that predominantly features guns.
With Neon Dynasty looking the way it does, a western themed set certainly won't be too high tech or "futuristic" for Magic. It looks like they're pushing REALLY hard to expand Magic from only being fantasy style stuff. I'm definitely not a fan of it moving in that direction and like I said earlier in the thread, that's coming from somebody who prefers sci fi stuff.
Sometimes I feel the need to recall that the story of Invasion block involved an airship, an army of genetically modified clones and people in mech suits fighting off an alien invasion.
That's true, but the overall aesthetic of everything was still very not sci fi looking.
Futuristic tech in a premodern setting? Kinda sounds like Steampunk…
Yeah, the early stuff was bordering on high tech stuff was done in a similar vein as maybe steampunk (or aetherpunk with Kaladesh which is my favourite), where it's high tech and they have airships, phyrexian mechs, Urza has power plants beaming with energy and stuff like that, but it's still rooted in fantasy and not "futuristic high tech" if that makes sense.
For KND they could always approach it like how FF8 did with Squall's sword-gun thing. I mean it's totally possible to have a firearm of some sort especially after that many years of societal development.
'buster
More likely neon laser beam blasters than Final Fantasy style sword-guns from how it looks so far lol.

The Teferi art and Sigarda's Eternal Night version look cool too.
Because it's bad?
