Just reading through this: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/mike-mcartor-2015-03-24
brought me close to tears. I obviously never knew the guy or anything, but it's sad to see someone who wasn't famous within the community but that everyone generally liked and had good interactions with die suddenly.
RIP Mike. -

Sapientissimus posted a message on Damnable Pact (TheManaSource preview)wonder if U/B could play 1-2 of these since they usually get late into the game with a ton of mana, I mean the fact that you can target your opponent is pretty big, a lot of decks are very cavalier about their life total against U/B. They'll be abzan charming and read the bonesing and thoughtseizing a lot, I could see it just turning this into a lethal fireball sometimes. idk, SICK art though.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

When you have Night's Whisper and Sign in Blood already dropping in a spell that costs 3 to draw a card isn't the most appealing thing I can think of. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Yes. I did. As part of precedence. Not because we can refer to all of the old cards, but that it has been something that is in red's piece of the color pie but does not happen very often. And it has even happened frequently.
I don't believe this to be an offense of the color pie, this is simply a demonstration of a rare piece that red has access to. Polymorphing isn't strictly blue, red has and will continue to "transform" creatures in its' own right.
I know you are very protective of your color pie, but red has this and has had it. The only thing that would make anyone raise an eyebrow is if/that it can target opponents' creatures. But, even if it could, it still has happened and should continue to.
Red has the most limited piece of the color pie, it needs effects like this at higher rarities, otherwise, what card do you make? Another dragon?

This gives a lot more range than people expect. It is good against control and aggro alike.
I can see this being a pain to deal with especially since Bloodsoaked Champion is a thing.

I don't. Ever. Would rather have any number of the following cards: Garruk's Packleader, Heartwood Storyteller, Elvish Visionary, Lifeblood Hydra, Magus of the Library, Primordial Sage, Regal Force, Soul of the Harvest, or Wall of Blossoms.
Assuming you are always running the biggest fatties in EDH is a pretty bad idea. The only deck I *MIGHT* run it in would be Doran, but even then, I have access to black, so why would I want to use that to draw on my upkeep as opposed to Phyrexian Arena? Card is just bad. It can see limited usage in standard and maybe for a budget EDH deck that doesn't know what good cards are. The only application I see is sideboard tech vs control.

I can't think of any EDH deck of mine that I would want a 3 CMC 2/1 that conditionally draws a card on my upkeep. There are so many better options.

Agreed, and likely run both (RIP and Wheel). More chance to draw one, and the reason I suggest RIP is the usefulness with Helm of Obedience. That way, you can combo off and win while shutting an opponent down.
A well built Sisay deck is just silly good (I actually suggested it last page). One of my buddies runs a stax edition of it, very consistent and has answers to each deck built in, just tutors them out and wins from there. It being a stax deck, it is also naturally resistant to other stax decks. Sisay definitely works here.

Please read this.
Bear in mind, you also run things like Survival of the Fittest, Fauna Shaman, and other creature tutors.
Your prerogative, but this is your best option.

But ETB triggers are a big deal. You get none with this.

I am genuinely confused, however, as to your reasoning behind this adament denial that you can build a Teeg list able to combat Hermit Druid. I am not looking for your opinion on the matter, I have done it, it does work and it can also be effective against other decks in the meta. Whether or not you believe it is or isn't is irrelevant to me, I know for a fact it is because I have played against it.
You are assuming that the Hermit Druid is perfectly built (almost always is) and that Gaddock Teeg durdles until turn 3-4 to drop hate cards. Not even close to the case. The deck begins lockout as early as turn 3 and by its' nature shuts down some answers to the threats (not all, but some). To believe it doesn't stand a chance is ignorant and proves to me that you have never played with or against the deck.
