Jason Justis posted a message on Mothership Spoiler 5/22 - The First Sliver & Slivers!

I got excited initially that because this set could introduce cards that are currently not in Modern into the Modern pool that w could see some old cards from a specific Tempest block, but seeing how these Slivers have been templated with the words "you control", I'm guessing that means creatures like Muscle Sliver and Crystalline Sliver are out. Sad.

For some reason, the fact that they listed each permanent type that can be destroyed alphabetically, that pleases me.

I see The Elderspell and even if it's ridiculously broken, I don't care....
I just go ahead thinking about the crazy jankyness you can achieve with it.

1: Have any gideon in play.
2: target him with Spark Double
3: transform the copy to a creature and target it with Mirrorweave
4: cast The Elderspell and laugh like a madman.

jankyness for everyone.

Doesn't work. You can't target a legendary creature for all other creatures to turn into, and planeswalkers are legendary, even if they turn into a creature.

The Spark Double copy specific says it isn't legendary.

That's true, fair point. Since that's the case though, you wouldn't even get to cast The Elderspell because turning all other creatures into one that's also a Planeswalker means that they immediately die due to having no loyalty as a state based effect.

Unfortunately this won't make it into my Arcades wall tribal deck as it doesn't allow my walls to attack.

They're ****ed.

Cool card, four things at 4 mana

4 damage
4 life
4 milled cards
4 +1/+1 counters
And a partridge in a pear tree...

'buster
Looks like it costs 5 mana to me.

Seems fine. Nothing too exciting for Modern.

One of the benefits to having best of one formats on Arena is the fact that they have to design more versatile cards in the common slot to compensate for the fact that there is no sideboarding. This philosophy isn't as evident on this card like it is on some others, but the fact that commons will likely be pushed to get more mileage out of them means that the player wins when it comes to getting replayability out of their cards outside the limited format.

I like the flavor of returning the dead body to the earth to use as compost for growing new things from the land.

Not holding my breath for anything. We're still four weeks or from release.

Proliferate

Old wording:
You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.

New wording:
Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.

I'm not seeing the difference in functionality here.

Quote from Marek14 »
Have you noticed the rules change on proliferate? In Scars of Mirrodin block, you could add one counter to each permanent or player, of any one type that it already had. Here, proliferate automatically gives one counter of EACH kind. I guess they realized that permanents with multiple kinds of counters appear so rarely that it's not worth it. But it also means that if you have, say, a poison counter and an energy counter, proliferate will automatically give you both or neither -- so both you and opponent would have to decide whether you really want to do that.

Incorrect. Here's the reminder text on Tezzeret's Gambit regarding proliferate.

You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.

Is it just me, or is the font on the card titles different than the Beleren font that they've been using?

Thrashing Brontodon is also something to consider against Torpor Orb. For decks heavy on countermagic, you could try Prowling Serpopard.

Jason Justis posted a message on Challenger Decks 2019

Based on Gavin Verhey's comments on the Professor's video a couple weeks, there is a slim to none chance that any RNA cards will appear in these challenger decks because the quickest turnaround they could get with deck construction, testing, getting the cards printed, then shipping them out is around 3 months, and RNA has barely been out 1 month. We're lucky if there are just a few GRN cards included. According to Gavin, they are trying to get these challenger decks out to us as quick as they can so that they are as relevant as possible, but there is only so much they can do.
