I think what I like about this bird the most is that she (I think) can be in a deck with tokens and some voltron elements. Control is going to have a hell of a time keeping her locked down, especially if you have sac outlets to drop her and replay her (I like City of Shadows, Martyr's Cause and Miren, the Moaning Well personally).
There are a handful of Commander tournies out here and U/X control decks show up a lot surprisingly. I know I'll probably use her against such decks as she is a more appealing alternative to the mono green Thrunn deck.
There's a couple intriguing cards, and it will be interesting to see what shapes standard takes when the rotation hits. I will say this set is looking fun at least from a limited standpoint. Still not sure I'm going to open a box though...
Sorry to say but oath of the ancient wood is horrible, even in this situation. You can't play it early on, it takes up your turn 3, and it requires you to have more enchants afterwards.
Yeah, probably. It's likely bad when you start looking at it with things like Ajani's Chosen and Mana Bloom (X for 1 or 0).
Hmmm, just when I was considering trying something like Purphuro with Master of Waves, a green creature is revealed that hoses blue control when it pops out of the sideboard. Can't even use Tidebinder Mage on the thing. Guess Young Pyromancer will be busy making chumps for it. All I can say is that I hope more people look at it and go 'Meh, Slime Molding'.
Has everyone forgotten about Strionic Resonator? Could be fun to add extra counters with or copy the triggered sacrifice effect. I do know I am going to have fun experimenting with these, resonator and Auramancer. Heck, even Oath of the Ancient Wood seems like it might be some kind of initiator.
