Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

• "you get that many additional upkeep steps after this phase."

Oh, this is either jank or broken.

Curious to see whether or not this can be put in the command zone. My money is on yes.

Re: Karlach as an Inspiring Leader?

The recent Boros Phyrexia precon had some banger cards for this, with Neyali, Suns' Vanguard being a draw engine that can impulse draw up to 6 cards per turn with your 2 combats, and also give your token army double strike. Otharri, Suns' Glory can make 1 token on the first attack, then 2 more on th...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

In the 99 I think new Tinybones is a bit awkward, and in the command zone I think it's a bit underpowered. It's a card that needs evasion, pump, and for you to mill/discard/etc your opponents. That's not impossible, (Mothman comes to mind immediately as giving you two out of three of those in the co...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Contaminated Drink makes me wonder how I value rad counters. Self-mill is good, life loss is bad. Is the former worth the latter? It's essentially free bonus cards in Kess, so it seems like an upgrade over Pull from Tomorrow , but that deck also puts a fair amount of pressure on its life total. Pro...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Commander Sofia Daguerre might have to find a place in Éowyn, Shieldmaiden human tribal, but I'm not sure what to cut for her. Maybe? The legendary restriction is very narrow, but there aren't that many removal spells on human type creatures in those colors. Really wish it said "historic perma...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Even if it just had a little bit of extra on the body, 7/7 or an extra keyword? Or maybe a monstrous cost that is cheaper. If it wasn't seven mana and eating my entire turn to activate then I would be more enthusiastic about it. But as it is you are paying a ton of mana for a marginally on rate body...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

A bit disappointed in Alpha Deathclaw by virtue of it's sheer mana cost. 13 mana into that permanent, and they can respond to the Monstrous activation to prevent the second removal trigger? Yikes. Even if it had relevant other text it still wouldn't be amazing at this cost. Might end some precon bio...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I do agree that the Surveil Lands are likely better than a lot of our budget/precon lands, especially if you are enfranchised enough to have Fetchlands already. Snarls already come in tapped in 3 color decks a significant fraction of the time and don't otherwise do anything, Surveil is better than S...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

House being a Mardu Dicerolling Commander really shows the designers don't understand him as a character. He really should be a Dimir Artifact Commander, maybe a lord, or maybe a Coastal Piracy in the command zone. Something like that. He is very much anti chance as a character, with plans within pl...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Also for the Mangara comparison, he specifies that the two creatures attacking have to be attacking you, while Trouble does not Idk what your trying to say, both cards require two creatures to be coming at YOU.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

On top of what Yeti1069 said, I would also like to remind everyone that this is in the weaker card draw color. Arguably not the weakest anymore with the amount of support it's gotten recently, that one a probably goes to red. But white is still generally weaker than the unrestricted colors like blac...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

It's a punisher effect, and not guaranteed to trigger in the first place. No matter what your opponents do, they will always trigger Smothering Tithe from their natural draw step, or Rhystic Study whenever they cast a spell. But there are plenty of turn cycles (especially in the early game) where o...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Oh, also mark my words: Trouble in Pairs is the next Smothering Tithe and won't be reprinted for a few years. It potentially draws 9+ cards a round (allowing for someone casting 2 spells/drawing 2 cards on your turn). Much like with Tithe it could potentially hit 40ish$, though it's generic enough t...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

On the precons: Disguise and Cloak just aren't worth while without a deeper card pool sadly. The new cards in the precon are a step in the right direction, but the mechanic is rough from an efficiency perspective and they aren't willing to print the kinds of effects they need to print to make this s...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

In related Clue news, how playable will Emissary Green be? As a commander I can't imagine opponents are going to let you attack with it more than once. I could be wrong. In monogreen, the haste options are somewhat limited, and the ramp from the treasures is a lot less necessary. I could easily see...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Barbed Servitor not being able to block is rough, but I almost think it would be too good if it could. Cheaper Stuffy Doll that also draws cards and has a power stat for something like deathtouch? But no, this is primarily going into decks that play things like Brash Taunter and Boros Reckoner . Wh...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

So 5 Mana gets you 1 target x1 copy, 8 Mana gets you 2 targets x2 Copies, 11 Mana gets you 3 targets x3 Copies (that is +9 mana right there if you just target lands!), 14 Mana gets you 4 targets x4 Copies. If someone has a damage dealer that's probably just lethal by copying something like Gary. 4 G...

What set symbol is that? That card was spoiled in a foreign language (though I don't know which one off the top of my head) and so that image is an English translation mockup made using a "custom" card creator. Scryfall link with the actual card image for reference: https://scryfall.com/c...

I've been looking for a good Cast From Exile build that wasn't Prosper or Faldorn for a while now, and I liked some of the 13th Doctor Episodes.... Even if I disliked a few others.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The thing I like about Wanderglyph is that it buffs all artifact creatures, which is a much broader ability than buffing Saprolings. Considering putting it into Calgar for sure, and I might take that deck in a more artifact heavy direction overall because of this.

Conversely, you can also make this a "heads I win, tails you lose" sort of card. If you're running effects that exile graveyards and punish/steal/turn off extra draws, it can read as either you get 2 cards from your yard, or you wheel and everyone else discards their hands and draws 0 or ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Lurrus is not directly a combo piece so I figured using Zirda was a better example, but yes you are correct.

Zirda's design was a known combo piece, after all.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The bigger issue in my opinion is what happens once the name changes or the higher power ability stickers get into the wider card pool. We have repeatedly seen that wizards does not consider even obvious combos with standard sets, so there is no way that one sticker or another will not combine in so...
