I missed Backdraft Hellkite? Though all I want to say is, if you're summoning it once you get to five mana and then attacking with it by giving it haste, ya dun güfd. You need to actually be able to cast those spells in your graveyard.
Okay, now Xanthic Statue, yeah, this is pretty much filler for us. At , I expect something like a Baleful Force, not just a French vanilla. #AtLeastBeAGolem

Haha, it's funny because Karn had birds poop on him!

Is this a new high water mark for "least playable card on rcotd?"

(Except when DirkGently makes them!)
There are a few reasons to play noncreature that turn into creatures. Off the top of my head:
- you want to restrict the creatures in your deck for Polymorph effects
- you want to have creatures that live through board wipes to carry equipment / pressure planeswalkers / etc
- you want to have creatures that live through your own board wipes / Diaochan, Artful Beauty
- you want a card that does something in the early game, but can also double as a lategame mana sink
I use this in my mono-Brown Karn's Golems deck - because Karn's ability means I can activate for 1 with no loss of P/T. . .
That makes a significant increase in it's efficacy (instead of 8 to cast and 5 to activate it is usually 10 to cast and copy (Mirrorworks) and 2 to have 16/16 available on attack or defense).

Priest of Forgotten Gods can be a little tricky to use, but it's an excellent sac outlet if you can keep it fueled. It's one of the very few non-repeatable sac outlets I'm willing to run - I usually lean towards stuff like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar due to them being better for combo, but Priest gives enough value that it's can be run as a standalone card.
You do need to tap it to activate, and it also requires two creatures to fuel, which can make it a bit clunky at times... but it only costs two mana to deploy, and in general, it gives enough value when you activate it to usually justify activating it every turn. The edict and card draw mean it's usually a 4-for-2, while the life loss and mana production provide a bit of additional incidental value.
I'll call out that the mana production is a pretty unique effect - Black technically has a few other creatures that generate mana like Soldevi Adnate or Illuminor Szeras, but the power level is usually pretty low. I wouldn't necessarily count on Priest to ramp you immediately though - while it could theoretically ramp to five mana on turn three, you're unlikely to actually have enough spare creatures to sacrifice. Still, it's not impossible for it to be online around turn four or five.
Human cleric is also a nice typing, with two relevant creature types for stuff like General Kudro of Drannith and Orah, Skyclave Hierophant. 1/2 body also triggers Welcoming Vampire and other effects, while living through incidental pings that may kill 1/1s.
I suppose Priest is generally outclassed by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, but that's true of every other sac outlet too - Yawgmoth is sort of absurd. Beyond that, there aren't many other sac outlets I would run on the strength of their output alone. I suppose there are some one-shot effects like Disciple of Bolas and Culling the Weak, and Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar can do work in the right deck... but most other sac outlets are about the sacrifice first, and the payoff is incidental.

Feels very backup backup Grave Pact. Playable but niche and not amazing.
I get having nostalgia for the card but it is way beyond unplayable in commander. Even if it cost 1 it would still be bad.
You can't reasonably compare it to a manland. For one thing, the initial cost of a land is 0 instead of 8. For a second, the primary function of a manland is that it's a land. The primary function of xanthic statue is that it sits in your hand and you wish it was literally anything else.3drinks wrote: ↑1 year agoIt's best use case was with Meekstone|4ed back in the day.

The forgotten gods in question are Evangelionesque monstrosities as usual. Seriously, both Ravnica and Zendikar have eldritch horrors with an angelic motif? (Besides the obvious homage, Emrakul is depicted as an angel, and nephilim are angel hybrids in the Bible.) And they both have mana costs that at the time were unprecedented.
Somehow I doubt people have actually forgotten them since they showed up in the first Ravnica block. Really, the fact that they're ancient gods and they try to destroy the city is the extent of their flavor.
Okay, Vorthos wank over!
Man, this card's all over the place. I have to say, you're playing with Grave Pact and friends (probably just Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos) if you're using this.

Priest of Forgotten Gods is one of the few summoning sick sac outlets I run. It's much better than I thought initially. None of the individual effects are amazing but you get all of them.
You get ramp, removal and draw all in one card which is pretty hard to pass up for the decks that can support it.
Like every creature it gets better with haste but I think Priest of Forgotten Gods particularly enjoys being in a RB deck where you have access to Anger.

It's good.
In a 4 player pod, if everyone has a creature out, you trade 2 creatures to take out 3 creatures, draw a card, add BB, and bleed your opponents for 2. That's a 4 for 2 that also adds mana and attacks life totals, and the 2 "cards" you go down are probably less valuable than the "cards" your opponents go down and the card you draw, since if you have this in your deck you have either a bunch of disposable tokens or a bunch of stuff you actively want to die.

"Generous Gift is better than Anguished Unmaking"
/sarcasm
This card is brutal if unchecked. Tapping down lands in the upkeep, tapping planeswalkers. Very hard to overcome.

Any time I don't see "nonland" before "permanent", I take note. While it doesn't destroy permanents, my old buddy Stasis says they may as well be.Dunharrow wrote: ↑1 year ago"Generous Gift is better than Anguished Unmaking"

Is this what "sometimes dead is better" means? Because tap lockdowns are far more irritating than something like Smokestack.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent is strong but doesn't feel stupidly strong to me. I'd prefer seeing this over a lot of things simic can drop for 7 mana. Indestructible is a lot worse than it used to be so it isn't too terribly hard to remove either. Completely unchecked it'll take over the game but that's fine for a big scary serpent.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent is actually a commander of mine! The deck is casual, basically "upkeep triggers tribal" that also uses ramp. Verdant Force and Tidal Force are also in there and Koma happens to be basically a combination of those two things on crank. A 3/3 token is no big deal in a 40-life format, but when you get four or five of them each turn cycle, most of which can attack as soon as your turn comes around again...
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.
