    Quote from Skios »
    As originally written, Nissa had a much more pronounced Elvish superiority streak to her character. It was only enhanced when her first Planeswalk took her to pre-Maelstrom Lorwyn, where she developed a fascination for the elves there and even started dabbling with black mana. All that was retconned out later to make her a more straightforward pure green character.


    Yes, I believe the old character overview on the Wotc site said she wanted to conquer all of Zendikar for the elves to rule over.

    I really hope he doesn't get banned in edh this is the kind of upgrade white edh players have been asking for for a long time' since aggro isn't that good in a multiplayer format stax is the only way wotc can really make white competitive in edh and I think this is a step in the right direction

    Edit: sry for the doublepost, there was a issue with the mobile site

    It would be so amusing if after Heliod is exhausted from defeating the titans elspeth kills him with Godsend


    not that I want Heliod to die but her art suggests he might


    Didn't he shatter godsend at the end of the theros storyline?

    I really don't like that the enchantment payoffs we've seen so far aren't entchantments themselves. This card and the earlier spoiled setessan champion could have easilie been enchantment creatures like in the first theros block where I believe all cards with constellation were entchantments

    This should be implemented in arena instead of historic. Not over night obviously, but gradually coding back to RTR would be possible

    Volrath might make infect a valid strategy in Edh

  • posted a message on [RUMOR] The Commander 19 decks will be based on keywords
    Quote from Gashnaw II »
    Quote from Wizmin »
    Hopefully the populate decks have at least 2 of the token doubling enchantments in them since they're all way over priced

    If anything it will most likely provide Parallel lives. People do not want a another G/W deck so i doubt they will do that (Even if populate is a G/W keyword.)



    As for brawl, only thing that will get me to buy the decks is if it contains enough card i feel hold value, and hold a brand new PW. I got the global series for the Pws. I bought three of teh four c18 decks (two were for the PWs and a few interesting cards inside)


    I'm pretty sure they'd have to include white in a populate themed deck because right now there are only two nonwhite cards with populate and there's only a limited number of new cards

  • posted a message on Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Modern vs Legacy
    I'd say it has a lot to do with the non interactivity of modern. There isn't really a Uxx value deck where Jace can shine. In a draw go counterspell deck you don' really want to tap out on turn 4 and playing a regular midrange deck leads to loosing on turn 3.

  • posted a message on “Boros sucks” is a culture problem.
    I think really aggressive decks tend to be generally worse in multiplayer because you have to invest a lot in killing someone while the others tend to set up (similar to why infect is so weak in Commander). Also aggro players could often have problems with their opponents'threat assasment since many people will focus more on someone with big beaters in play who's hitting them even tough the green player with 15 mana on turn 6 could potentially be a bigger thread.
    And of course you don't have to play aggro in Boros but there are nearly no viable Boros options for other strategies and if your commander doesn't encourage what you're doing (like eg stax or Ld) you can probably find a better one in other colours.

    Well, she's just bound to be best friends with Judith, isn't she? Mardu token aristocrats?


    Judith sadly doesn't trigger of tokens dying

    I really hate Addendum, not because the cards are necessariely bad, we'll have to wait for more spoilers to evaluate that, I just think it's a terrible idea to give a control player additional effects for doing stuff on his own turn. Gaining two life isn't worth not being able to counter your opponent's spells

  • posted a message on Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer
    Ok someone please tell me I am wrong here. If I have Brudiclad and Precursor Golem on the field, and enough mana to play Cackling Counterpart twice (once before and once after Brudiclad turns all my tokens into copies of the copied Precursor Golem), I can attack with 108 golems. If I calculated this correctly, I will need to start building this deck immediately.


    I don't think this is correct: You start with 1 precurser and two tokens. You use Cackling Counterpart and get two additional tokens and one precurser wich makes two more -> you have two cursers and 6 tokens. Brudiclad turns all into precursers so you'll have 8. You cast Counterpart again to make 8 more precursers wich create 16 tokens -> you end with 16 cursers and 16 tokens

    Storm the Vault doesn't work well because it says: one or more creatures, so you will get only one treasure.
    The Song of Freyalise/Cryptolith Rite combo works still without vigilance if you have 5 attacking creatures and WUBRG: Attack with all 5 creatures, activate Najeela's ability wich will untap your attackers so they can be tapped for mana to activate her ability again.
