League GuildmageUR Creature — Human Wizard {UC} 3U, T: Draw a card. XR, T: Copy target instant or sorcery spell you control with converted mana cost X. You may choose new targets for the copy.
2/2
The first ability is on pair with Dimir Guildmage (with tapping, but without sorcery speed).
The second ability is a combination of both abilities from Izzet Guildmage, with tapping but more flexible.
Dare I say it looks like decent card?
Dunno that I'd want to be copying anything higher than CMC2 off of her ability. 2X+1 is bad scalability.
...which is the exact ratio Izzet Guildmage had in the first place, and that card was preety deece. This is just that, except with a tapping restriction, scalability and a very relevant "draw 1" ability tacked on.
This card seems great. Copying a Shock variant or Opt for just 1R mana seems pretty relevant. This... maybe possibly could see Constructed? I mean, it IS a Wizard...
Even with the tap requirement the ability for moderate abuse is there. I am still not sold on blue/red for prerelease but after that it's looking pretty good.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
You can't go infinite, since you need to untap this creature to do it again. With Staff of Domination, though, you could go infinite with a copy of Battle Hymn

GENERATION 12: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. It's a social experiment.
It's just X not 2X

2X in the sense of paying for the original spell.
It's certainly interesting at any rate, and getting 2 triggers of Adeliz from one card seems good.

This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
It's a Ravnica thing. All conspiracies to take over Ravnica are required to put their signet everywhere and still insist they don't exist.
Looks bad next to Izzet Guildmage, but gaining card draw in exchange for the ability to go infinite with Pyretic Ritual and Training Grounds (or before that Heartstone) seems to be more balancing.
On phasing:
I just said you can't go infinite. Izzet Guildmage has a very famous infinite combo with Pyretic Ritual and Training Grounds.
On phasing:
Whatever, I like this card.
Art is life itself.
And she's pretty darn good, too
