    You don't know the ultimate, the starting loyalty, the -2 or the CMC. It's hard to evaluate a planeswalker that you think you know one ability on.

    Quote from TheLastCurryRice
    Yo what happened to not sticking the same (or better) abilities on two charms Golgari Charm Wrap in Vigor vs Boros Charm second ability. Come on wizards you could have made a more interesting ability for the white mode. Boros already has Frontline Medic; why not delve deeper into design...


    There is a difference between making everything indestructable and regenerating your creatures. I'm more excited to be able to Armageddon with this card in cube and saving my lands than I am countering wraths. Different strokes, etc.

    Yeah I forgot how Champion of the Parish decks are super midrange-y.


    There are various builds, but generally speaking, the 3 color Champion decks with Huntmaster are more midrange.

    While the card won't be standard playable, this card will be insane in limited. With the amount of blocking/trading that occurs in a regular game of limited, this can easily trigger twice. Even triggering once makes it worthwhile.

    Quote from SpacemanSpiff
    People who are saying this effect isn't mythic: go ahead, find another 7 mana trampling two turn clock. Now find one that will kill another player on the third turn, and two more players on the fourth.

    Rarity isn't about constructed playability, it's about complexity and limited power.


    So a 20/20 unblockable for 0 should automatically be mythic, even with no flavor or any other abilities?

    Because having this at rare for limited would be downright atrocious?


    Generally, cards bumped to mythic for power level purposes in limited are also flavorful enough to warrant it. This isn't even close.

    Pretty clear the OP missed the Glares in the decklists.

    A Mythic Rare, really? Damn it... I wish it was easier to get so I could try it on my Wanderer deck.


    Don't worry, this will be a $2 mythic in about three weeks. This card is terrible and I have no idea why it is mythic, as it isn't a mythic ability at all.

    What is this doing in the speculation forum? This isn't speculation, nor is it a rumor.

  • posted a message on [[GTC]] mtg-jp preview: Signal the Clans
    Quote from patlienemann
    really because I think
    T1: Stomping Grounds, Arbor Elf
    T2: Land, Arbor Elf, Burning-Tree Emissary, Signal of the Clans (look for thragtusk, thundermaw hellkite, or some awesome gruul unspoiled creature wincon)
    T3:Land, drop said creature.

    Is pretty strong in standard.
    Signal of the clans means you can keep a hand that doesn't have your awesome creatures in it.


    But what do you do the other 30-40 games you don't draw all of that in your opening 7?

    Quote from robertds413
    Hmm. Maybe. Seems really good in modern if it is a 6 drop. Play it and then cruel ultimatum and then attack with your guy?! Although modern is faster than standard


    Seems beyond unplayable, especially given your "curve" here.

    you resolve at least one revelation and you most often will win after that


    Unfortunately, this is the only relevant portion of any talks with Revelation and Descent, as this holds true when Descent isn't in the picture.

    Quote from Wildfire393
    I don't know about "perfect". Look at Jund: they can only run one Fetch that hits all three of their possible Shocks, forcing them to run fetches that only hit 2 of the three.


    What?

    Wooded Foothills and Bloodstained Mire both hit Stomping Grounds, Blood Crypt and Overgrown Tomb.

    Quote from Cathallex
    Eh, my opinion is my opinion and i respect that you all like the new art better. I have both a foil and normal version of old Hanna and find the old art and old border fit perfectly in the theme EDH deck i play her in. To me it would just seem stupid to play a new border general that doesn't look like an artificer at all in basically an mono old bordered EDH deck. I can respect the artist's take on the card but I like what I like and that is in my opinion a more classic on point card art as opposed to the newer overly sexualised card art. Also no phyrexians on the new one :(.


    Just re-read your original post.

    No idea why you would want her reprinted she is my current general her old art is cool


    We get it, you like the old one, others like the new. The fact that you're getting defensive over your opinion is kind of shocking given this post. Where you give bonus points or kudos or whatever for old bordered decks/generals, I cannot stand old borders and would much rather have mono-new border.

    Just don't say anything until they signify they're passing priority. Another phrase I like to use to say that you're ready for them to signify priority is "declare no blocks" or "declare X blocking Y", just to show the onus is currently on them to act.
