I do like having the extra removal at the moment, came in very useful last night. Don't need as much as some of the reanimation decks as Polukranos does a lot of work in terms of removal.
I'm attending a pPTQ on Sunday and will probably playing this deck with a few changes.
I'm thinking -1 Elvish Mystic, +1 See the Unwritten. See the Unwritten really surprised me, and Elvish mystic doesn't seem as good at the moment, and my ramp's been fine without it.
If I can get hold of a few Nissa's I will add them to my sideboard to help against the control match up.
What do you think?
Do you prefer either of the lists?
How would you sideboard against certain decks?
Yeah I agree with you hairlessthoctar, I don't see these being that hard to remember. If you hear your opponent say "I'm making this ~~~ monstrous" it won't be hard at all to remember it for the rest of the game.
And if it is just bring some counters with you
I also can't see a spell that says "Target creature with monstrosity becomes monstrous".
By this wording the creature wouldn't gain any counters, and Polukranos wouldn't get his ability due to no "X" being counted.
We've seen a few hints towards cards making extra mana for the high costs.
Satyr Hedonist, Sylvan Caryatid, Karametra's Acolyte, Xenagos, Nykthos etc.
Hopefully we'll see some more in other colours too.
So, the planeswalker guide gives us the NAME of the TWO-dented spear of Thassa, and the card not only doesn't use the name but calls it a TRIdent? This card is ridiculously outrageous, please let this be fake.
EDIT - looking at the pic, it looks like it's called "Bident of Thassa". Is this possible? Name/word is awful nevertheless.
This may have been said already, but both a Trident (three pronged) and a Bident (two pronged) are types of spears. Bident is not a made up word and they didn't 'lie' in the Planeswalkers Guide.
I hate when people say "this is a waste of a mythic spot"
I'd rather they have an super-insect that looks like an experiment gone wrong and casual card than a bland flavour, standard staple that's gonna cost a bomb.
