As is, Rhuk is a niche fallback piece that soaks up equips from things that die in a non-wipe manner. A potential placeholder defender of your castle as your voltron commander got whacked and you need to redeploy/reequip. Rhuk would have a cool application if there were equips that rewarded you for being put on or unequipped, but as is the only triggers of that nature kill off the creature This doesn't strike me as likely design space to explore, R&D has gone on record that equipment leads to samey game actions even without this extra carrot. But hey, maybe one day.DirkGently wrote: ↑1 year agoI didn't even notice Rhuk, Hexgold Nabber get spoiled, but rarely have I been so baffled about an ability. In a world where Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist why would anyone want to play Rhuk? What are you supposed to do, pre-equip to an Ornithopter to prepare for him entering the battlefield? Bro he costs 3 lol, why would you need to prepare?

After seeing some more flavor text from the set, I believe the maze in Migloz's name is in reference to the Hunter's Maze (I may be slightly off base with the name, but I know it ends in maze), where the green phyrexians associated with Vorinclex hang out. He crushes things in a maze.duducrash wrote: ↑1 year agoGuys, help me english isn't my first language. Migloz, Maze Crusher is Migloz some thing that crushes in a maze or that crushes mazes? I'm dissapointed it doesnt crush Maze's end
Ovika, Enigma Goliath feels like a better Prismari general than what we have, and I will run it as such.
Mirri, Cat Warrior counts as a Cat Warrior.
That actually sounds sick.
All cards are bad if you try hard enough.

hmmmm
Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler in b/g Erinis, Gloom Stalker or whatever Windgrace deck, sifting yr deck for and reviving Dawnstrider or Priest of Forgotten Gods... giggle giggle giggle. slots right in alongside Nissa of Shadowed Boughs
this is a great planeswalker, terse abilities, WAR-style ability which is fairly relevant, previous tribal boredom lord recovered into something with more utility, ten out of ten design. hope it's gnot broken in that Lurrus type way

I have a feeling this is a stroooong set and maybe some playables will be ignored and then shoot up in price like a rocket. I'll have to keep an eye on constructed results so I don't miss something like Ledger Shredder . Thankfully I noticed Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki before the mega spike.
But for now here is my list of cards I'll either buy or try to trade for

Approximate Total Cost:
Mondrak, Glory Dominus , Anointed Procession with legs, is the card to keep an eye on for me. WIll need to look more at the set to see what to pick up because theres a lot of goodies

set is really good. "phyrexian" creature type is awful, particularly cos they didn't print anything that targets phyrexians
I think Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler is pretty neat in 60 card formats, it enables Fiend Artisan and Prime Speaker Vannifar in unfair strategies will be effectivey be 2 for 1 in fair low curve elf decks with the minus ability. And with the density of dorks they run it coudo enable biiig turns thanks to the pseudo haste , it trully might be a sleeper hit

It's been mentioned that it's due to the density of phyrexians in this set. If they'd printed a creature with "Phyrexians creatures you control get +1/+1", they'd have to cost it the same as "Creatures you control get +1/+1" for this set. Something like 80% of creatures have the Phyrexian type in this. Personally, I'd expect phyrexian tribal/hate to be in the next set, where it can be costed appropriately as a tribal element, but still have all the phyrexians from this set to interact with in larger formats.folding_music wrote: ↑1 year agoset is really good.

We have started getting first looks at some of the cards in March of the Machine, courtesy of a panel at PT Philadelphia.
I really love the idea of having character team-ups where its one card with a fusion of sorts of different legends and their abilities. Planechase being an active part of the new Precons is cool as well.

Normally I think your tribal distaste is a little overwrought, purely because some flavors lend themselves to it. Zombies, elves, goblins, all of them kind of lean into being tribal thematically anyway. But I do think we're definitely at the point where all of the requisite tribal tribes are represented, we could 100% stop now and not jump the shark.DirkGently wrote: ↑1 year agoRemember when most creature types were just there for flavor, and we didn't need to have a tribal deck for literally every single type to ever exist?folding_music wrote: ↑1 year agoset is really good.

I blame MaRo and his %$#%$#% squirrel fetish; if they can be a legitimate tribe damn near anything can.
New set came out last week, which means it's time for more spoilers, I guess? Still, I'm a fan of Planechase, so nice to see it returning in March of the Machine.
- The Kenrith's Royal Funeral is a nice addition for BW legends decks.
- Omnath, Locus of All looks like a strong option for '3C matters' decks, somewhat comparable to Niv-Mizzet Reborn. Or just save up mana for the juiciest Torment of Hailfire of all time.
- Yargle and Multani is amazing.
- Heliod, the Radiant Dawn // Heliod, the Warped Eclipse is... the best Smothering Tithe + wheels commander ever? Or some sort of janky storm deck with Secret Rendezvous and other symmetric draw? Lots of interesting directions, none of them fair.
- Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis draws so many cards and I want it.
- Plus lots of other sweet mashup cards.

I can't tell you how big of a smile I had when I saw Yargle and Multani. It's simple, amazing, and combo's with Giant Growth to one shot opponents.

I kind of like the cards of two Legends, but sheesh, does everything and everyone have to be Phyrexian. They are sure not holding back on turning all the popular planes.

If I had to guess based on last known lore I'd say no. Heliod was the god on Theros most prone to choking on his own hubris having murdered Elspeth out of jealousy for her adoration, and thus is probably the most easily turned.
Still you never know.
