I'm looking to create an Un-cube and I have the outline pretty much cut out: Unglued (chaos Confetti and Blacker Lotus playing proxy), Unhinged, Conspiracy (conspiracies and draft matters cards), Heroes' path cards (even found a way to implement the challenge decks), and Tibalt. I then need about 4-9 more planeswalkers (balanced out color-wise), and some other crazy cards that is just fun to play with and against. I am thinking about adding both Planechase and Archenemy card draft to the mix. Any suggestions to make this add up to 360?
You attack the creatures (as with the hydra). Damage is dealt both ways as if they were blockers. Trample damage does not have any effect (though it should have gone to Xenagos).
I like the way Xenagos can't leave the battlefield if any reveler is in play. So if you clone Xenagos you won't win the game as long as your version is in play. And insurrection won't work wither since you have nothing to deal damage to. But if you do have a sac outlet, one by one, you could win that way
I am so going to build a casual ting out of these decks and something elser
"Cathedral" is a whitish aligned word, or just a powerful building. (religion)
"War" is very much a redish aligned word, or just combat related. (passion)
What I would want to see (and would be plauseble in a set that brings multicolor into coresets);
Cathedral of War
Land
Comes into play tapped.
T: add one mana of the colour of your choice to your mana pool.
When a creature you control deals combat damage to an opponent, untap Cathedral of War.
I haven't been spec-scouring lately, so I've missed the whole Impending Planar War that would could be coming up. And my addition to the mix is that this could easily be done without bombing standard with walkers.
Weatherlight Saga 1 set + 4 blocks - Multiblock is quite easily an option, and a lot of the walkers have been introduced and might not need a new card yet. Keep the Mythic!
Walker affiliated and spesific cards:
Temporal Mastery 3UU
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Blue permanent
Enchanted creature gains Ut:tap or untap target creature
Enchanted Wizard gains UUUt: return target permanent to owners hand
Enchanted Planeswalker gain
-7: take another turn after this one.
(sorry for bad templating)
This is a card that i have played around with a bit, and it fits with blue's love for modality and supports walkers in a "new" way.
Other fun options could be:
Painwreak 1R
Instant
Painwreak deals 3 damage to target creature. If you control a red planeswalker, it deals 5 damage instead.
Asserted Provocation 2R
Instant
choose one - Target creature attacks this turn if able; or target planeswalker becomes a creature with power and toughness equal to its loyalty counters and attacks this turn if able.
This could make for a whole new thread, but I'd really like to see some more planeswalker love. Now it's mostly PW-hate
Forbidden scroll 4
Artifact - Relic
Equip 4: attach to target planeswalker you control
Equipped planeswalker gain
-1 :search your library for an instant or sorcery card with converted manacost of 3 or less and play it without paying it's mana cost.
Innistrad seems to have old Germanic traditions as a tile-set, so to speak. Which might give us a hint of what Helvault really is. To me the connection was instant, since I am a Norwegian, and Norwegian language has it's basis in the Germanic language. Helvault is very much like helvete (which is not swearing when adressed as a subject) which translates into Hell (saa)
So if the humans keeps hell (and what's inside) locked up, and the lunarch knows why, he is most likely in trouble. Grislebrand might want what's in there, or want to release it (meybe some personal belonings, or power to yet to obtain), Liliana might also want this locked up treasure, especially if will empower Demons. She seems to have bizarre taste for upsetting these behorned powerbeings (the veil)
And dear Markov, he don't want the demons back in power. There has been, for ever in magic, a conflict of which race will be the leading that fondles with black magic. And quite recently, the demons won, and vampires had to step down, power-wise. So hi will try to hinder or even destroy the power that Helvault keeps, he's out for revenge, against the demons.
If he indeed is on the hindering path (protecting vampires, humans and planes alike) I bet he would be set in white and black (law/justice + power/ambition) But if he is on the avenging vendetta path, I'd say black red, or even Mono red. (power/ambition + fury/vengeance, or fury/vengeance/war)
I know this is not a planar chaos set, but it would be fun to have a R/W planeswalker that used to be a vampire. But any possibility that fits with my speculation ends him up looking too much lik Ajani Vengeant.
So can Hevlault be a state of Hell guarded by humans?
Just found this thread and wanted to spice it up again. Here is what i played around with this summer, all out Jace. The deck is no good, but, it Jace!
Fun With jace:
15 Island
4 Counterspell (JvC)
4 Jace's Erasure
4 Negate (PRw)
3 Illusionary Servant (flavor text)
4 Jace Beleren (lorwyn, book insert, JvC)
4 Jace's Archivist
3 Phantom Warrior (flavor text)
3 Fact or Fiction (JvC)
3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2 Lay Bare (flavor text)
1 Selective Memory
2 Summoner's Bane (flavor text)
3 Jace's Ingenuity
3 Jace, Memory Adept
2 Mind Control (flavor text)

This is nice. Then both Archenemy and Planechase has 5 promos each. I wish there were more. I really like Planechacing Archenemy Commanders. This is gonna be a wonderful summer. Rock on!
I'm glad I pre-ordered a set. This set is spoiled for sure, many other sites has spoilers now, and (form the looks of it) from different sources. But still, good for proxy testing. Trying to break Darksteel Relic. Tezz is the only one that really uses it besides metalcraft. Swordcraft is going insane this turn... And Myr really got their powerhouse. Semblance Anvil and a really-old potion and your opponent will waste removal early on.
I like the flavor text of Urabrask. Is he simply ignoring a vastly inferior enemy.., or is he to be the ruler of "Mirrodin Pure"? I bet we will see single-color (or simply other than black) phyrexian invasion of future planes in the future. This is definitely building up to a real fight between Bolas and Phyrexia.
That vain dragon has been observing quite some while now, but what does he see. Eldrazi, Phyrexia, Ulgothria... And what is going on on Ravnika. The paths of future Magic is many-folded. The impending showdown is still intangible, but the players are taking shape.
BTW is there any Mirran life left, taking the flavor text of Remeber the Fallen into the mix. Mir-a-ri-ro-din
Why do you assume the dragons are Rare? I'm like 100% sure they are also mythic. I'm pretty sure that's why the others are also mythic. Because they feel like mythic creatures etc.
I believe these are rare since the invasion dragons in Phyrexia vs. the Coalition was rare. And they really don't push the mythic button, for me, at least.
Then we have got 11 cards of total 300-something that we know the name of.
White Archangel of Strife R
Red Death by Dragons U
Multicolor Ghave, Guru of Spores M
Multicolor Intet, The Dreamer R
Multicolor Karador, Ghost Chieftain M
Multicolor The Mimoplasm M
Multicolor Nin, the Pain Artist R
Multicolor Numot, the Devastator R
Multicolor Oros, the Avenger R
Multicolor Teneb, the Harvester R
Multicolor Vorosh, the Hunter R
Picking up four of these. Seems real good for Planechasing Archenemies!!! Gonna be awesome deluxe. Looking forward to see more cards. Please set up a spoiler/crunch thread for this. It's goiong to be bigger than New Phyrexia!
Interesting debate, even when the answer is obvious (I'll not be stating anything more there) But I don't like the way people say that Bolas is so overpowered. I have yet to see (and own) a Duel Deck that is defined (ability, speed and card-reference wise) by the "champion"-cards if the deck , the closest being Elves vs. Goblins.
Even if Ajani would wield only white cards, there are a handful of such alone that can pop Bolas like a grape. So I don't believe Ajani's deck will be anything close to weak.
The most interesting here is what will be of power in Bolas' deck. He can't go all the way with mana acceleration?! And as much as Nightscape Familiar fits his shrewdness, It's probably too Invasion-ish. But if, he draws power from the vast epicness of his life (even though he was imprisoned by the time of the Invasion) One can only hope for Crosis and his charm. The possibilities are endless. But I guess my own Bolas deck is too hardcore carrying 17 mythic. And Familiars in three colors
