MTG Salvation

And with that, Phoenix once again has a shot at being playable

This is exactly the kind of card I would've fallen in love with when I started playing kitchen table magic; a sac outlet with a HUGE repeatable payoff? would've built like 4 decks around this card. So yeah, it'll be okay in EDH and unplayable in other formats except (hopefully, since this seems sweet) limited. Feels very nostalgic, I can't wait to see new players eyes light up at the pre-release when they see this at uncommon.

Wizards continues to make mentor a really interesting mechanic with the cards they're putting it on, and this representing a more rational and cooperative Aurelia totally works. No idea if the card'll make Standard play, but I really hope so since this card probably would've during RTR standard, which is what I'm hoping this set will be reminiscent of.


As for this card not being as outwardly powerful as Glorybanger and Hazoret, I should really hope so. We just got out of a miserable, red-dominated format where a card like Rampaging Ferocidon had to be banned, so I really don't want any red finishers at that level for the next year or so.

I'm just wondering how the mine hasn't played out already? It's been what, 200 years or so since the events of Onslaught and Legions, right?

You're giving the goblins down there a lot of credit if you think they recognize that.

And yeah, wow, I was surprised enough at the Warchief; prospector is a huge (and pleasant) shock. Time to brew.
