How does a non-germ creature wield this weapon? I'm picturing someone just running around with it like Adam West and that bomb in the 60s Batman flick.
Ugh, why can't this have worked from in the grave? Too expensive for any competitive play But does this mean there's gonna be a goyf of some kind in this set?
Wonder why Prodigy isn't also a Shaman, but either way it's rather amazing. I'd like to say it helps wizard tribal become a real deck, but I'm sure I'm wrong.
I'm a little confused why enough metal to only make a necklace can make something an artifact. It being a mana rock with a very abusable ability is great.
The P/T on Draco feels way too low, should have been like 6/6 or something, 4/4 feels super bad.
With a triome and a proper shockland it's quite possible get this out by turn 2, though for Modern that's likely not to do much. Seems like this is a 5C lord to use for commander rather than for Modern.
While true, I don't particularly think a 2 mana 4/4 flyer even with upside that you have to jump through significant hoops for makes the cut. Casting it on turn 2 is more a dream than a game plan for any real deck, and it's questionable if it would really be good anyway, given you'd have no T1 play into T2 this, that isn't that scary in Modern tbh.
This was my first take too, but it does actually ramp you, so it isn't a card that does stone nothing if you don't have artifact removal to go with it. Probably worse for all intents and purposes though, and seems a strange card when Liquimetal Coating is already Modern legal anyway. It feels like a throwback to a card that's already Modern legal, that's just bizarre. It's probably meant to be a Limited enabler as Affinity is meant to be one of the colour pair's archetypes.
I think it's another indicator that this set was heavily designed with EDH in mind, since redundancy is key in a singleton format.
Only in folklore and Shakespeare's play. In MtG's Dominaria she's considered a goddess and is a Maro-Sorcerer, all of whom are elementals.
Hear hear!!
Why not both? Seems like Searing Blaze might be the cut for Flame Rift.
