MTG Salvation

Quote from DirkGently

That said, Guan Yu voltron? I couldn't think of a boringer deck idea if I surgically removed my higher brain functions. If your idea of a fun rogue deck is taking a french vanilla beater and putting a bunch (commonly-run|vanilla and bad) equipment on him, I don't know what to say. I mean, I can respect someone who makes a the unspeakable arcane deck even if it's bad, because at least it does something new. But if you're trying to have a fun game of EDH maybe the problem is that you deck was boring to begin with.

Thats not a very respectable thing to say, a bit rude honestly.

Besides its Horsemanship, unless we are talking about Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed" target="blank">Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed your pretty much obligated to go aggro/voltron to make the most out of a card with horsemanship which is pretty much the equivalent of unblockable unless your opponent runs horsemanship or weirdly has anti-horsemanship cards.

So if you will pardon my french: Get off your high horse.

Tell me about it. I was somewhat annoyed myself with how wordy it came out because that is the ruling for mana burn (thats been slightly altered) and a few words added to include a condition (While in Command Zone).

As for the body, I think it serves its job like how you stated.

Mana burn was removed because it rarely even mattered.

And so it is the same with the Kobold, he rarely ever matters. Though it would be funny to blow up an Omnath and watch the Omnath player lose a large chunk of life just cause Azzie-Azzie matters for that.

I would say it come up more in EDH where it would matter most as afterall. Its not an uncommon sight to see people ramp up mana, be wasteful with mana, not be pressured by their own lands. A Land-Hate general if you will.

If I wanted a manaburn EDH General, I would take this in a heartbeat if it was real.

The key difference between this and normal Mana Burn is:
1) It checks Steps not Phases.
2) It only harms your opponents.
3) Azzie-Azzie must be in the command zone.

How is this balanced?

1) This takes a page out of Oloro's book for benefits while in the command zone. However here it only works there. If you cast Azzie-Azzie you don't get to cause mana burn.
2) Azzie-Azzie while not in the command zone is a 0/1 for R Kobold Shaman who has Pro-Red.
3) Why a Kobold? Why not. We got plenty more Elemental, Goblin, Minotaur, Cyclops, Hydra, and other legends than we do Kobolds. So his tribal significance is very low unless you choose to have cards that care about Shamans.

I dunno what else to tell you guys (and possibly gals) for this.

Banding.

This one is a mixture of Skeleton Ship and Ghost Ship. As nice as Skeleton Ship is to have as a commander, I myself run a Skeleton Ship COMM deck, it is not the most strongest choice amongst other choices and I have found requires being built around to utilize its -1/-1 counters better. Even nowadays though, this kind of card would be seen as underpowered if this was your Commander.

Quote from Ganneyev »

Personality: To sit in the presence of Purphoros is to be inspired. He forges the most ornate and delicate items only to dash them into flame and start again. He is reasonable yet ultimately follows no rules save his own creative and destructive impulses. Sometimes, this can mean covering a whole area with lava to make way for something new. His main flaw is that of frustration, of feeling limited and constrained. He is forever pushing against the barriers of mortal imagination, sensing that there is much more to express. This can cause him to plummet into despondency and then lash out at the world with raw destruction.

Possibly destroys artifacts or to be able to destroy enchantments if we are really

pushing against the barriers of mortal imagination

He might destroy an artifact/enchantment for a ritual based effect.

Hmm I wonder if I just saw the pattern in all this.

Thassa CMC = 3 = Jace Belern CMC = 3
Nylea/Heliod CMC = 4 = Garruk/Ajani CMC(s) = 4

So theoretically:
Purforos CMC = 5 = Chandra Nalaar CMC = 5
Erebros CMC = 5 = Liliana Vess CMC = 5

As of right now 3:5 of the revealed gods so far have the same CMC number as to when the first five walkers were revealed.

Description: Capuchin monkey that is wearing a leafy-looking crown with matching cape and is wielding a scepter with a glowing emerald on it.

Karoos please.
Really tired of seeing the 3+ color decks.

lolz so fake. Shes barely even popping out of the border.

Most of them are UP not OP. The only really playable one of the five is the black one which basically grants unearth for legends only.

3CC, T: EFFECT

^ that is not OP considering most of the effects are underwhelming at best.

Also not only is the expansion symbol from RTR its also the UNCOMMON RTR one in fact.

Quote from Horseshoe_Hermit

If it is I hope it goes in Black where it was supposed to be. Maybe Black will be a good color again?

haha no.

R&D: Now Black I understand you have some complaints?
Black: I want to be a good color again!
R&D: Sorry but after that time with Bitterblossom, and that time with Jund and that time wi-
Black: I get that! Yet you always pair me with some other color.
R&D: Sorry but were not letting you be a good color again for awhile at least.
Black: What about Blue? All she did was whine and wh-
R&D: ENOUGH! Go to your corner of the pie this instance!
Black: (muttering: Stupid Blue being the stupid favorite)

Well of course they are fake.
Look at the expansion symbol. Yes that symbol is RTR's.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE MOVE ALONG.

I mean who could forget such classics found in the flavor text of cards like...
Gorilla Titan: "I want a banana this big!"

?

Quote from Mman

Accept it costs you 2 cards. And the Wurm cannot be cast at instant speed.

So basically nothing like what you said.

I still standby the fact that a Healing Salve or even a Hero's Reunion gets you a beefy creature for simply casting a heal spell.
