MMNN is kinda weird in devotion. It's more useful for multicolor devotion, but not that good all around. Though I should mention, in Commander, hybrid is just better for devotion. (Plus, things like clones and reanimation are useful. In fact, there are a bunch of Rite of Replication combos out there based on tribal, why not have a few based on devotion as well?)Raptorchan wrote: ↑4 years agoPeople thought the same about Dominaria AAA cycle, but this time you may be right.Legend wrote: ↑4 years agoI suspect cycles like Linden, the Steadfast Queen and Fireborn Knight are intended to aid devotion.hyalopterouslemur wrote: ↑4 years ago...monocolor (representing the gods) and graveyard (representing the underworld). What people don't understand about the original Theros, though, is that it was primarily an aura-themed set; mechanics like devotion work better with auras than with (traditional) equipment obviously, and heroic works with auras.
Also AABB Ravnica creatures.

And it wasn't last time? The themes are somewhat antagonistic, but not by much; remember, Ravnica tries to coax you into using exactly three colors, not five like Invasion block or three like Alara/Tarkir (and Conflux was basically a five-color set). The hybrid permanents are great for devotion.
Even the original Ravnica block had a cycle of cards that counted lands of a specific basic land type.

It had two: Flow of Ideas and Crash Landing. Not a cycle.hyalopterouslemur wrote: ↑4 years agoEven the original Ravnica block had a cycle of cards that counted lands of a specific basic land type.
