    If it cannot travel planes then Angel and Vampire don't need a focus chapter.

    With Seal Away in the same set, there's a good chance that Vigilance will be a more relevant ability than usual in Standard. This guy has high potential to see play.


    Hmm that is a good point.

    Aristocrats Deck her we come lol. Is it wrong to use a Black Card to Sac creatures to Rez Angels?

    True enough a stiff breeze should do the job

    What a cringeworthy flavor text, and seems like a major story spoiler as well. Glad I gave up on following MTG's storyline.

    Card itself is neat, quite powerful if you have a planeswalker around, but sorcery speed makes it a lot worse. Not sure on this one. I'm guessing it is not going to see play.


    Spoiler? Dude, we've known she was going to kill this demon from day one. Her whole story revolves around killing demons.


    Point of order, we knew the demon was dying now whether Lili got the final hit in was of course debatable.

    The 2/2 pirate token with Menace that Vraska spit out the previous turn should hopefully do the trick.


    Assuming They have 2 creatures or less when you start the combo?

    Is the 1 of Tezzeret the only win-con? It just seems like a pile of lock-pieces and methods of searching them out/protecting them. Is the point to just let your opponent naturally deck out?



    Seems so they Deck or you ult Tezz and smash them.

    Man, this in a Grixis or Sultai control/walker shell would be scary. Ult your Chandra/Vraska/Jaya Ballard the turn after she comes down? Check.

    Also, this would be run alongside Vraska's Contempt, not instead of. Maybe a 3 Contempt/2 Settle the Score or 4/2 split?


    Vraska and Tetsuko. Although if you drop them to one you should have some way to finish them.

    Yeah, I think it's shameful that some of these comments just received infractions for ignoring the Mod note, and not for being edicts of bile poison that have no place on an MTG forum dedicated to inclusivity. I have messaged the Mods individually.

    As for the card: I guess I never realized that this is the first universal anthem effect on a creature*? I guess white is the color of universal anthem effects... I'm just hoping we end up seeing a little bit more color fixing in this set, at common, for the sake of draft purposes. Unless the intent of this set is that we see a lot of mono-colored decks in draft.

    *Edit: For 3 mana
    I think it is shameful that you did not get a Mod warning, but the guy with a conservative view-point did.


    Conservative Viewpoint is certainly one way to describe that drivel.

    Really its a default option. Click the Red circle with ! in it.

    I hope all the old Legends are not just standing around while Lili and Gideon put in all the work dealing with Belzenlok. What is the point of making a big deal about Teferi and Jaya and other Legends coming back if they aren't going to do anything impressive.

    Blackblade Reforged seems to give some pretty big Story implications.


    Expected but yeah presuming of course the Blade doesn't corrupt Gideon first.

    I think betting on Liliana NOT being free after killing Belzenlock is pretty much a given, right? Like the card, interesting that they are more willing now to put "planeswalker"-related effects on cards other than rares and mythics.


    She didn't read the Fine Print from Nicol Bolas on that one. Or the Raven Man, Assumes Full Control.

    Course if Lili does actually strike the final blow it really makes you wonder wtf the other characters are doing. Hey 25 years guys we are bringing back Teferi, Jaya, Jhoira, Karn, and Jodah to stand around while Lili strikes down another Demon?

    This plus Oath of Teferi though will lead to some fast ults though for Esper Decks. Which Walkers are especially deadly with an instant ult essentially.

    That is a terrible deal...crap Dismember.
    Who said anything about as good as Dismember.
    Generally, I'm not surprised when a forum-goer fails to read someone else's post, but failing to read one's own posts still bewilders me.
    Reading Comprehension is hard. yes, I said its a crap Dismember that does not mean I thought it needs to be as good as Dismember or should be as good as Dismember. Just that they could make it slightly better then costing 6 mana.
    Why make the comparison, then?



    Why not? What other major played piece of removal does -5/-5? Is it not standard to compare one card to another similar card?
