    Did anyone else come in expecting a combination of Force of Nature and Vigor?


    Yeah, I was expecting a better Bounty of the Hunt that let you keep the counters.

    The 15 card packs for draft have a planeswalker each, as normal.

    The 8 card packs don't but I think that is to keep the vault progress from filling up faster than usual if one of your two uncommon cards was a guaranteed walker.

    For all those saying use this with Teferi, doesn't this just mean you can go straight UG?

    Turn 4 play this, next turn just play your land and have access to 10 mana in your end step (Tap all your lands in response to the trigger, etc.), cast Nexus.

    Cast another Reclamation for more mana and cast an Explosion if you can get a couple red I guess.

    Too bad Okaun, Eye of Chaos is a Cyclops.


    Does destroying a creature on tails constitute a player winning a flip?

    Explore + Surveil + Undergrowth seems like Sultai will have some options for Standard.

    Timing would be an issue, but I am sure with plenty of planeswalkers around, he can get something together. When they did the stories for "Origins" it was hinted that Al-Hammaret may have wiped Jace's memories on more than one occassion, as well as Jace doing it to himself. But during Ixalan, all of his memories returned including the ones of his home for the first time. Al-Hammaret had an extensive base of knowledge and Jace was his apprentice. They worked both sides of the fight with that information for more information and profit in return. The Mage-Rings are used for focusing mana and funneling it where you want it, and that sounds super useful in a fight.

    Jace is from Vryn, but is on Ravnica gathering forces. It is possible with his memories returned he could have Mage-Rings built on Ravnica as part of the trap for Bolas, and Karn could be in charge of overseeing that project. They did play a part in the battles on Vryn.

    If that is Elspeth, that would be pretty cool. But, if this is planeswalker art, that means that her spark would still be intact, and she could be somewhere trying to either figure out how to get around Erebos or gathering something for Erebos.

    I just hope Tezzeret doesn't die with the Planar Portal knowledge on Ravnica.

    Scatter the Seeds saw plenty of play and was recently bonkers in Modern Masters draft when it was reprinted.

    Quote from Courier7 »
    The only weak point is that the copy of Combat Celebrant which is wearing the Helm of the Host needs to survive to create a token copy at the beginning of every extra combat phase.


    While the 1 toughness is fragile statwise, the equipped creature never has to enter combat. You just make the token at the beginning of combat and only attack with that one, exert the token and get a new combat step. Even if they have blockers, they will eventually all die by making a new token over and over running them to their deaths.

  • posted a message on Wildfire + Chained to the Rocks
    If I have a Chained to the Rocks on the battlefield exiling a creature and cast Wildfire, if I sacrifice the Mountain that is currently enchanted, will the creature come back and take the 4 damage from Wildfire? From reading Gatherer, it sounds like it would.

    From Gatherer:
    "...cards like Chained to the Rocks have a single ability that creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the creature when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to the battlefield immediately after Chained to the Rocks leaves the battlefield."

    and

    "The exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after Chained to the Rocks leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions."

    Is there a point where after the 6/5 taps that you can untap it and still attack? If so, can you choose to attack anyone with it?
