It's not a static ability. It's the foretell cost. It's all one ability. It's the same as Gonti, Lord of Luxury. You exile the card and even if Gonti dies you can still pay mana of any color. If it were a static ability it would have its own line of text.
The land is the kind of reach that red aggro decks always want.
I'd argue that it's the kind of card that red aggro decks never want, but are often forced to accept because their Plan A isn't good enough.
I mean, an uncounterable Bolt to the dome could hypothetically be a part of Plan A. But, 1) it's five mana, and; 2) the discard is essentially worthless at that point. It goes back to what Crispen Smith said, in that as a beatdown player, the place where this is useful is a place you never want to be, and in fact should not even plan for. If you have to, it means your deck doesn't have what it takes.
I think that isn't a great argument because every deck has cards that shore up its weaknesses and allow it to cross the finish line. Most decks have a way to try to still win even from an unfavorable position, and that's something every deck wants. It's like saying that Demonic Tutor is a card that combo decks never want but are forced to play with because they can't just play copies 5-8 of functionally identical copies of their combo pieces.
Is Frost Blessing playable in Commander? Is it worthy to enter the pantheon of played green card draw? Or is it too unreliable, needing some number of 4/4s?
Yeah I'm not a big fan of the regular art. Which is odd because in this set at least I like a vast majority of the regular art over the special arts, with few exceptions. It's why I chose a draft box over a set box.
I'll take all the Entreat the Angels/Decree of Justice type cards I can get. This will be an easy slot into token commander decks like Trostani and Ghired. I like that you can pretty reliably get a 4/4 by turn 3, which helps declutter the 4 cmc slot what with Parallel Lives effects all tending to be around that mana cost.
I like the demon a lot. It's like a mini Gifts Ungiven in that you can search for your combo pieces after Reanimateing it. I have a Kaalia commander deck that utilizes reanimation as well as Sneak Attack effects that this may find a place in. The stats aren't too bad either.
I'm not interested in having this conversation over and over. This pops up all the time on this site and it's incredibly tiresome every time. If you guys want to look at near nude women you have the ability to do that elsewhere. It's not unfair to you that you don't get to see much cleavage in a card game for 13 year olds.
I like that they are making some powerful utility legendaries at uncommon. I hope to see more to add to legends matters commander decks to make them run smoother.

Someone got lazy painting the faces the further they went back.
