I'm not sure what that flavor text is supposed to be for... To remind people that Kaladeshi Vedalken have six fingers? To actually come out and say that the five PWs of GRN/RNA are Bolas aligned (as if this wasn't blatantly obvious already)? Just seems...weird.
Sometimes the game is as subtle as R. Kelly‘s ‚Trapped in the Closet‘.
I love this card:
- Can‘t be countered by counter spells and is also too unimportant to get stifled
- Ability can be copied by Rings of Brighthearth
- Useful for mass reanimation or ‚creature cards in graveyard matter’ themes.
This is exactly why Karn cares about counters.. solves the memory issue. WTC could have used a similar approach here. That they didn't is a testament to Rakdos's livs now pay later theme.
Etrata, the Silencer makes good use of counters to avoid what would otherwise have been memory issues.
Yes, that's a perfect example. I'd forgotten that card exists.
Mairsil, the Pretender has a similar wording. Here you can also use cards from a previous instance.
Four mana wraths are nice but this probably has a very fringe benefit outside of the specific context of afterlife - when else would you ever wrath while you had a significant number of creatures on the board?
Emergency reset of the board in a multiplayer game of EDH (Avenger of Zendikar; I look at you).
Rules question:
You have a Theater of Horror in play, exile some cards with it and then it is destroyed. Is it possible to cast the exiled cards with a new/second Theater of Horror? Or is this forbidden due to the ‚memory‘ of the cards?
Giving him deathtouch and protection from black via equipments is the next logical step.
Nice idea: you can ‚cycle‘ the Petitioners for getting more Petitioners and then a mass reanimate via Immortal Servitude.
