    Assuming you can keep it alive, is consulate dreadnought a thing turn 3 with siege modification? Is it viable?

    Love this card
    Can be relevant at any stage of the game and ETB triggers means it's not a horrible top deck late game since you are likely playing creatures with this.
    Great for Atraxa to boot!
    The fact that it will enable turn 3 Gideon on some of your matches is a big deal.

    I think I like the gearhulk's themselves better in the regular cards
    Torrential just looks silly. I think Verdurous and Noxious are the only cool ones imo.

    From a collector's stand point, which is also big part of this game, I think they are great inclusions. Not everyone has to get behind them, and that is fine.

    I also think displacer feels clunky... just feels like I want to do other things with the three mana most of the time. But good for those who are having success with it!

    What Does Nyx-Fleece, Frontline Medic, And Swords Have To Do With That Information?
    My basis always starts at mono-white and then hopes that with additional information from the forum we can compound back to micro-splashes. After enough games of magic, I realized that the toughness in our deck has become the issue for most of our matches. It requires us to make trades or double block at pivotal moments in tempo'ing a game that eventually lands us behind. Too many of our cards are trying to accomplish too many goals simultaneously while also hoping to avoid removal spells. After Success with wall of resurgence, I started questioning why the card worked so well? The answer was the virtual card advantage it provides inside. Once the wall is deployed it creates multiple cards that the opponent has to deal with that lands their card value behind too far behind. Let's dig deeper into some card choices and examples...

    Nyx-Fleece Ram: This guy is potentially a really good sideboard card against burn and flexible enough resource against the other aggressive decks and even Eldrazi. The 0/5 body is very much wall-esque but doesn't actually have defender. It can clog a ground up, gain critical life points, and eventually suite up and attack (we'll get to that point shortly). The resources most decks will have to use to kill him is much like using hymn to tourach against the opponent. Attack and bolt probably the best for the opponent while something like using terminate or abrupt decay is way harder to justify. I'm also excited to see this guy with HONOR OF THE PURE. Making 1/6 doesn't seem like a big deal but it actually is in the establishing meta.

    I'm feeling the Nyx-Fleece Ram. As soon as wall of resurgence was discussed I thought of the ram since I don't have any walls and thought the inclusion of a large body to stall the ground made sense in this meta as you point out. I played the ram a lot in standard, and it was often a wrench in the opponents plan, which caused just enough disruption to have my game plan come on top. I'm still messing around with other cards, but if they don't pan out I'm trying the ram as well.

    Thanks to LtGlitter I will probably include the sword of light and shadow since I run Oriss, Samite Guardian. Again, we'll se what happens, but just want to see it combo off once lol.

    Also, Thalia may not necessarily be black. The Thalia quote is separate from the rest of the book description. However it could be the new flavor text for the new card?! Links to book below so you can read the full description; not endorsing. I was not able to copy and paste the quote

    Has anyone thought about this.....

    Thalia came from innistrad block....

    Could we see a new taxer or new version of thalia or her effect in this set?


    That would be fan-firkin-tastic!!... and it would be perfect if the upgraded version was no more than 3cmc... even if legendary we could have two Thalias on the board!!!
