With the power of blue in draft as it is... wait till the Sage of Fables hits... that card is ridiculous in Limited wow...
The elf dude is very good but I'm not surprised it should see play in Limited and Constructed or if not Constructed at the least it will be in block...
The Blue Elemental is a bigger Mahamoti... Im not impressed at a huge creature that dies to about a million cards...
The Kithkin land is VERY disappointing, the Elemental land is broken to shreds and will be a lot of money, this card is not going to be good at all
Yea wow, this artwork is nothing short of breathtaking... I have been looking on said auction site for alternate art cards, but I have not yet been able to find any. If anyone would be so kind as to PM me regarding what it is that I am searching for then I would be very grateful... thanks a ton
Umm last time I checked wasnt Venser supposed to have two cards one being a multicolored card? And seeing as all of the multis are filled in I dont see that happening. Also wasnt Bibi//Sleur supposed to be in this set as well?
umm see Yawg's will to start off and if you read my example you would see that this card is essentially another counter which boosts storm count for NO MANA and counters a spell (usually an enemy counter) and allows you to WIN
Im pretty sure that in many situations this can be much better then FoW
*edit*
Im pretty sure no but if an enemy plays it on one of your counters you let it resolve and then just use the counter you would have countered their counter with on the spell that was being countered in the first place if u can follow that
every time a card like this come around people always say well what comes out -- lately gifts has been playing fewer and fewer drains and i think this will go in its spot for the time being
Im not sure how many of you guys here play T1 but this card will absolutely without a shadow of a doubt (no pun intended) break the format into tiny little pieces. Not only was gifts an extremely powerful deck before this card -- now they can Yawg Will and use this counter plus Force of Will to "go off" that turn and win the game. And if their opponent uses the same Pact they then have to come up with the mana or they lose anyway.
Lemme give you this example...
I Yawg Will and play a bunch of stuff you try to counter with FoW i counter back with my FoW's, then you drain then I use this bad boy then u use the same pact to counter my pact... following so far
i look at your mana and counter your pact ... either you now have an ungodly amount of counters in which case i probably wasteland your mana source and watch as you die trying to produce the 5 mana that u now need or you die ANYWAYS because im going to tendrils your face off...
im really not sure how this card isnt going to remain unrestricted...
Turn 1: Land, 1cc 1/1 dude like Frenzied Goblin
Turn 2: Swing with Frenzied Goblin, land, Radha [1 damage]
Turn 3: Swing with Frenzied Goblin and Radha, Sudden Shock to the face, land, Burning Tree Shaman [7 damage]
Turn 4: Swing with Frenzied Goblin, Radha, Burning Tree Shaman, use R on Frenzied Goblin's ability, Shock to the face, Char to the face [17 damage]
Turn 5: Breathe on him
Umm dude A. good luck playing Frenzied Goblin Aggro and B. Frenzied Goblin swing =1 plus Radha and Goblin =4 plus sudden shock is 6.
Then on turn four you are doing a total number of 18 damage by your count correct?
So who is to say that A. any of your cards resolve? B. That they dont play more then one creature? C. Play ***(there are 2 of them) D. Play other removal (Condemn, Fetters, Pongify, Putrefy, Mortify, Their own burn)?
So i wish you good luck but anyone can say okay on turn one i play this then turn two i play this but yet thats playing solitaire -- when testing hands and forgetting there is another player sitting across from you is ludacris
The irony of just seeing these cards is overwhelming. None the less protozoa is very good in limited and the charm will ultimatly be making its way into SB's in standard decks in no time
well I have an issue. how is that stupid phenoix in any way good or rare worthy? why would I want to skip my next turn for a measly 2/2 flyer?? why would I waste 5 mana on a measly 2/2 flyer that could very easily make me skip turns? just don't get it. terrible waste of a phenoix.
Because you just skip your next draw step not your next turn... and because the measly 2/2 flyer doesnt die because of its flickering spirit type ability.
Am I that transparent? ORB findings FTW! Let's say I wouldn't have posted it without full confidence in what I have seen/been told.
Trample is less effective than flying, and it is Red rather than blue, so I can see that being a weakness also. Still, it's a hot card, perhaps an auto-inclusion on any Red/x based control deck set-up (Post [PC] that is).
Hydro i appreciate all you do for the forums, and i understand what you mean when you say "Orb Findings" but then again the "Orb Findings" were Akroma were way way off and it went from a 4/4 nonplayable to a 6/6 playable so while I can only go on what info im given i hope there is a small percent error in your "Orb Findings"
Mirri is very good in panda connection atm -- much better then her green version no doubt -- radha is kind of dissapointing -- how many people use RR in their combat phase often?
