Claim the Firstborn feels like a staple. Everyone should be running sac outlets. So many good lower cmc critters in this format.

I love you, Sanity. This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time and I'm so happy you brought it up. Now to see if we get an excuse to break out "Help! Help! I'M BEING REPRESSED!" in future spoilers.Sanity_Eclipse wrote: ↑4 years ago
Emry, Lurker of the Loch - Mookie's comments about sum it up. Also, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of dodging commander tax! (What are you going on about, Sanity...)
It depends on your environment, I think. People in my groups aren't clamouring to play Unearth and Lightning Bolt is uncommon at best.Serenade wrote: ↑4 years agoClaim the Firstborn feels like a staple. Everyone should be running sac outlets. So many good lower cmc critters in this format.
That sounds fantastic.toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoMan, I'm so tempted to build a Monty Python and the holy grail theme deck now. Or a Robin Hood: Men in Tights deck. Either is totally doable this set.
Note that it also doubles as a ritual if you have creatures that tap for more than one mana. I'm looking forward to using it with Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.Serenade wrote: ↑4 years agoClaim the Firstborn feels like a staple. Everyone should be running sac outlets.

Getting through the text IS the quest!materpillar wrote: ↑4 years agoQuesting Beast wins the award for greatest flavor fail. What is happening in that mess of text?
Really? I'd say maybe 30% of my decks run any sac outlets, and only a few run more than a couple. Plus it's so narrow. And you need to play a sac out first so the low cost is less useful. Surely lightning bolt accomplishes a similar task with zero setup. And bolt is an instant, this is a sorcery.Serenade wrote: ↑4 years agoClaim the Firstborn feels like a staple.

Meeting at WotC R&D "well we can't reprint Phelddagrif..so let's go all five colors with something like it"...and as for rogue well sword of dungeons and dragons
Few more bits and it'd be very easy. We just need a trusty steed named Patsy and an Equipment called Coconut Halves that has equip : Make a clopping sound.materpillar wrote: ↑4 years agoThat sounds fantastic.toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoMan, I'm so tempted to build a Monty Python and the holy grail theme deck now.

Price of Progress seems like a given. I'm interested in possibly doing some kind of pseudo-storm (you'll get a card for every Grapeshot trigger), pseudo-burn deck with her at the helm, but it probably would get boring to play rather quick.DirkGently wrote: ↑4 years agosyr carah, the bold is intriguing. CA for red in the CZ. Idk that there are burn spells I'd want to use to trigger her, but maybe there's some synergy with buyback or something to justify a couple of them.
Glad it's play not cast.

I can't think of many cards I'd be less likely to play in edh that aren't vanilla creatures. Even Zirulan which runs lots of sac outs AND is mono-red isn't even considering this. I'd rather pay extra for flexible/flash theft.

Kezzerdrix seems evil enough. The real question though, is how to portray the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Maybe Ratchet Bomb? So long as you can count to three (five is way off).Cyberium wrote: ↑4 years agoWhich rabbit will you use?toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoMan, I'm so tempted to build a Monty Python and the holy grail theme deck now.

Not quite? You can only include 7 of them in a deck.ISBPathfinder wrote: ↑4 years agoWow, Seven Dwarves is literally a buffed Relentless Rats / Rat Colony (as far as stats for the mana go). It will be interesting to see how red can spin it in comparison to black. Rats and being in black is probably a little stronger but its really cool to see how a change in color / creature type might impact where it can and will see play.
Also, VERY happy to see it stay at common. Maybe Depala, Pilot Exemplar will finally have something interesting to do?
Wow, I really derped that one up. I guess I need to play limited so I can try to break that limit lol.SocorroTortoise wrote: ↑4 years agoNot quite?

Return to Dust and, more recently, Crush Contraband have been pretty great for me. The cantrip aspect might be nice though, especially for mono-white.Mookie wrote: ↑4 years agoTrue Love's Kiss - I actually complained about Slice in Twain not existing in monowhite a while ago, so good to see this printed. I can't think of any staple White Disenchant effects (compared to Green having Reclamation Sage, Nature's Claim, which I jam into most decks that can play them), which means that the bar for new options is a bit lower.
Nope.ISBPathfinder wrote: ↑4 years agoWow, I really derped that one up. I guess I need to play limited so I can try to break that limit lol.SocorroTortoise wrote: ↑4 years agoNot quite?

Thats SUPER weird given that normally limited puts no restriction on how many of anything you can run.Sharpened wrote: ↑4 years agoNope.ISBPathfinder wrote: ↑4 years agoWow, I really derped that one up. I guess I need to play limited so I can try to break that limit lol.
