so, the Hero just has heroic, but they didn't call it that for some reason?
Because Heroic is not a mechanic in the set, it's just a subtheme (this is not the only unnamed heroic card we've seen if you didn't know). Standard procedure is to not actually include any non-evergreen mechanics unless they are specifically intended to be a featured mechanic of the set.
Clearly, there will be less of these unnamed heroic cards than there were heroic cards in Theros. They seem to be concentrated— if not confined entirely— to red and white, functioning as a limited archetype.
i mean, fair enough, but it just seems like if there's one set to bring back the keyword it would be the one with the plane it originally was on, but whatever, i suppose.
i was one the people that liked heroic lol.
I mean, as long as you're not playing humans, the halberd is strictly better? It can be reattached if the creature holding it dies, albeit at a rather high cost.
pro: can be reattached
con: can't be cast on the most common creature type in the game
With neither Parallel Lives nor Anointed Procession in the deck (Doubling Season is a pipe dream obvs), I disagree, but I don't mind Kiki-Jiki not being in. Also, this being green and ONCE AGAIN not having Concordant Crossroads makes me sad, but I at least picked one up a while back, so whatever.
But this deck is pretty solid.
I imagine they’re loathe to reprint a world enchantment.
this is Progenitus-lite for 4.

you almost broke the meta with a turn three-five card combo too!
except that Ser Green Knight is a human lol

not even a strictly better Unholy Strength.
why not just Mass Hysteria instead?
surely this doesn't apply to Justin Sweet's Bane.
i'm glad it is, but that's really surprising.
Terminator 2, more like it.
must be an old unused piece.
