MTG Salvation

Hmmmm, it should?

The Cauldron's triggered ability is not a replacement effect. The creature has to die, i.e. successfully go to the graveyard from the battlefield, for the trigger to happen. So that process also triggers Syr Konrad (part 1). Then the Cauldron's ability resolves, moving the creature out of the graveyard and to the bottom of the library, which again triggers Syr Konrad (part 3).

Okay, so that is in agreement with a statement I remember: The the common and uncommon Showcase Adventure cards (and their foils) can ONLY be gotten in the Collector's Boosters - therefore, inversely, the rares and mythics may show up in normal packs (just at a much lower rate, obviously).

Why is Queen Marchesa not a Noble?

Her foil price proves she is nobility!

I hope these contain only reprints and no alt-arts - then I can completely ignore them.

Anyone else... mildly turned on?

I consider this quite an improvement compared to Tocatli Honor Guard. It trades one point of toughness for flying, lifelink and preventing death triggers.

Flavor text: "As the traitor hastened across the courtyard, his eyes leaped open. It was time to pay the queen a visit." - Beyond the Great Henge

Goes nice with an Ornithopter.

Is this the red card from the 2 cmc pushed creature cycle?

Yeah, especially since it's 3 CMC?

I'm now hoping someone made a mistake in the German translation and the card is called "Der große Scharnier" - "The Great Hinge"

A person I know once wanted to write of winches (on an old crane) but wrote wenches instead.

And, yes, this is a very powerful card, smells like an auto-include in any deck, especially EDH, that runs green and big creatures.

"Words are pointless. It's what you do with your hammer that counts."

My mind is dirty. Don't follow me there.

Also: STOP! HEDGEHAMMER TIME!

Can this be a player in Infect?

Primalcrux now costs 2GG.

Can you activate the Cauldron's last ability in response to the triggering of the first ability to get your creature that just died back?

Kind of displeased about this card, I had hoped for something similar to The Immortal Sun - expensive but full of goodness.

Well, that or Mox Chalice.

EDIT: Upon rereading the card, nope, as the last ability can only be activated at sorcery speed - you can't use it as long as the triggered ability is on the stack.

i think they should have been legendary lands

Yes, this is quite peculiar from a flavor point of view.

.. so can you play him in a mono white commander deck, and just use the white ability ?

As the commander yes, but not in the deck as its color identity is WUBRG and not white.

Actually, if you use anything that produces mana of any color, or of any color that is part of your commander's color identity, you can use all of his abilities even if the entire rest of your deck is mono-white. Well, if he's your commander, that is.

So if I see it correctly, if you have a mechanic that copies spells, you can copy Giant Opportunity, the copy resolves first and creates three food tokens, then you can sacrifice two to the other when it resolves and get your giant.
