    Erebos's Titan...

    Really? This is a super frowned upon method of grammer.

    Erebos' Titan would have been fine.

    why, just why, abrupt decay, that can answer like 80 % of the permanents played in modern at instant speed and can't be countered is ok, but a counterspell, that cost UU, and only can aswer things in the stack is not..

    O turn 2 tarmo,i dont have counterspell, i draw counterspell.. late.. / Turn 2 tarmo, i dont have abrupt decay, draw abrupt decay, kill it

    Dont you understand that have to answering things in the small time of the stack and deciding what to counter is a drawback compared with thinks that can answer it at any moment when they resolves? you can wait just to see if they have something more powerfull to kill while with counterspell you take that decision at that moment..

    posted a message on June FNM Promo - Frost Walker
    When FNM promos are bad, people wish we got good ones. When FNM promos are good, people whine that we didn't get better ones.

    If we get another legacy playable promo, people will complain it isn't good enough for vintage.


    If they don't reprint Counterspell, how are we going to get promos of it for FNM?

    posted a message on Mothership Spoilers for Fate Reforged (01/07/15)
    A young man rushed up to a blind old monk, candles floating about the eccentric fellow as he meditated.
    "Master, I did it. I bent the air, and tamed the snow!"
    The old man, without even flinching, dropped to his feet,
    The candles landing with care on the dustless floor.
    "Have you now?" He asked the student
    Who found himself unable to conceal his pride.
    "Yes. It was just like you taught me. It was miraculous."
    "That is where you are wrong, child.
    There are no miracles. Only paths walked
    And roads disembarked. And as promised,"
    The old man gestured as he opened the door,
    his motions so fluid not a pebble on the ground was disturbed.
    "Do you mean it, Master?!" But the monk
    Had already left, leading the smirking student.

    The library was an impressive collection, but
    in one of the far corners, sat a scroll, unprotected.
    The two figures approached, and the Master waved his hand.
    The air glistened for a moment, and the room suddenly felt...
    Lighter. "What did you do?" But the old monk only smiled.
    "Open it, my son. You've become a part of the lore,
    The great lineage of the Jeskai."
    The young man lunged at the scroll, but stopped, and turned.
    "Wait, you told me my performance would be recorded.
    How can it possibly already be written in this?"
    Strolling behind the student as his eyes danced between
    The old man and the scroll, the Master placed his hand on
    the confused youth's shoulder.
    "Chiiang. The wind records and the world remembers.
    But ink? Ink and paper fades and crumbles. No no no,
    This is merely the door to your next path.
    Now take the first step."
    Chiiang shook with anticipation as he grasped the parchment.
    Pulling it aside, he flinched in anticipation, then looked down.
    "Master, it's just a diagram. And these motions, these are the moves
    We teach our children within the first week of their training.
    Is this a joke??"

    "Ah, yes. Funny how our paths seem to overlap as we age.
    Never forget where you've been, what you've done.
    Only there will you find true strength. "
    "But Master-" Chiiang spun around, confused.
    But only a wisp of air remained, dispersed a moment later.

    Chiiang stood before a wooded training dummy,
    With a torn parchment target nailed to it's head.
    "All right. Remember...where I've been..."
    He stiffened his arms, grabbing an imagined broom.
    "What I've done..."
    He brought his arms out, and raised a leg,
    Balancing himself atop the cliffs of his mind.
    "Who am I..."
    He swung am arm upwards, just as he had done
    Earlier today.
    "And the direction I must walk...!"
    He thrust his hand straight ahead, the image
    Of the Scroll of the Masters concrete in his mind.
    A blast of energy ripped straight through the dummy,
    Splinters flying like leaves in the wind,
    as the stone stairwell behind it crumpled to pieces.

    The student smiled.

    I think the biggest strike against this card when comparing it to snapcaster mage is the lessened element of surprise. There are so many spells that are ever on the stack at any given time, but being able to choose from graveyards, especially in a multiplayer format, opens up a lot more options.


    Snapcaster mage only targets your graveyard.


    True, my mistake - though I still find myself having more cards to choose from in my graveyard than I do in my hand.


    A card in hand
    is worth two in the yard.
    Worth three to copy
    Is it really that hard?

    Quote from Radar73 »
    how vitriol can kill my Erebos? 😖

    Actually, this seems to entirely possible.
    The Gods of Theros are very vain and fickle,
    (Erebos being the least so, but still).
    He is not destroyed. He is appalled.
    He has graced you with his presence, and how do you reply?
    A wafting pool of grime and odiousness,
    as you celebrate in manner to please a certain other god,
    Shattering and melting all in your way.
    What God would give you their time?
