MTG Salvation

I actually rather like this card. The lack of colors stops chulane+amulet of vigor tricks with "gating" critters. (Cast Whitemane lion - play karoo land, tap for WX, bounce lion bounce land get approximately 50-80 landfall and etb triggers) but these lands are sorta like myriad landscape - stealth card advantage at the cost of slowing you down. Also they allow "fair" mana accel with our palinchrons, great whales, cloud of faeries and drakes. Would I be excited to get more than 4 of these? No. But it is an uncommon which is the correct rarity for a card that has fringe uses. I mean 95% of uncommons never see the light of day outside draft anyways

I think we should just errata it -

RW
Haste
RW: Target creature you control gains haste and double strike until eot. At end of turn shuffle that creature into your deck.

I don't know how many of you were around when legends was standard (what we used to call "not restricted or banned") but chains of mephistopheles and howling mine was oppressive. This requires a slightly newer instrument of suffering anvil of bogardan but you can lock your opponents out of non-instant speed removal. Almost makes me want to run og teferi, mage of zhalfir to properly oppress the people that once were my friends.

How about turn 1 mana dork, 2 spike feeder, 3 this and just crank the lifegain geometrically. It does almost everything that helios did with the addition of some green tricks/lifegain. (Slightly clumsy with ballista however)

Imoti has a pretty powerful effect.... but... 1 thoughness for 5 mana makes it nigh unplayable... dies to absolutely everything every time.

Your meta must be different from mine. 1 toughness may as well be 12 toughness. If you can't survive blasphemous act, austere command, ruinous ultimatum,cyclonic rift, damnation, all is dust,ultimatum, verdict, hallowed burial, any number of destroy a critter and sac a critter - you aren't safe. I think the last time 1 toughness was a death sentence was when a sword of fire and ice was wreaking havoc on 2 URX decks. And remember you aren't just getting a 3/1 - you also pick up a 0-4 cc off the cascade.

I have been asking for the witch mtgo art for a long time! Now we just need the elemental blasts from mtgo. Besides the wonderful art, the card sees a little pauper play and could use a reprint. Furthermore it is a fun political card and this set is the best fit for reprinting it. (Well masters 25 over erg raiders was a miss)

No Azami and Minamo library in the scroll rack art is painful

I wish it was new art not because I dislike the art - in fact I love the art - but a card that they are absolutely destroying the price of (grim tutor for example) should be able to keep its old art to try to dampen the price crash. Maybe a secret lair can get you you your beloved kamikawa art.

When she attacks, look at defending players hand and choose a creature card. Put that card into play tapped and attacking that player or planeswalker. Return that creature to owners hand at end of turn.

my hope is sterling grove or false prophet, but its probably the seb cuombajj witches

I would love the bathing beauties by seb. I hope they continue to utilize mtgo art - I would love the red elemental/blue elemental, Pyro and hydroblast, elvish spirit guide (bad fit for this product), quirion rangers and several others.

The problem with these cards is the maintenance of the IP rights. As it stands, a card's uniqueness for deck construction is defined by its English card name. The Godzilla cards had a functional, but cumbersome way to preserve the card name. In order to preserve the reprintability of crossover cards, can they ammend that rule to indicate that cards possessing these names are treated the same way as a foreign card name? If they can't give the promise of reprint potential - this is an extremely dangerous precedent.

2x arctic merfolk + Kefnet's Monument or sapphire medallion - I just broke legacy - honestly, there are only about 8 cards with kicker before this set that are worth playing - most of them are limited cards that are designed to smooth out mana curves. In order for this card to be relevant in any format we need to see a lot more cards like thieving skydiver.

It is too bad that one of our commanders wasn't a kicker payoff commander - the timeline for another opportunity like that is at least 2022

Quote from sleeper agent 2.0 »

I like it! I think it's got to be one of the better 3-mana rocks in EDH.

Baseline is darksteel ingot and the kicked version is a better gilded lotus - I think this may just be the first 3 drop rock for most commander decks (even over commander's sphere}

Anyone else think that top-level podcast got trolled?
