I managed to preorder the 5C Eldrazi deck on Amazon when it was still available by itself as opposed to a bundle with the other decks. Thinking about keeping it and making it my 5C deck. Not sure how I'm going to spruce it up, but I can already think of some non-optimal cards I'm going to shove in there.

Does that mean they can reprint Nearby Planet without the acorn and not bust anything?

A single land giving you Domain and Tron simultaneously while also being searchable would be broke as gently caress, yes.

I think they were kind of like Hearthstone Heroes, some extinct format where you'd pick one of these Vanguard cards and get their stated changes. Presumably you'd build your deck around it. Not sure how it actually all worked but seemed kinda of interesting.

I'm sure people tried it, but it was pretty much just novelty giveaways in tcg magazines during Weatherlight saga. A few of the rarer ones are worth some money like Sliver Queen. Only real impact vanguard had is that it's where the Momir Vig game type comes from since MODO kept it alive for a while longer. Some really nice art and representations in the bunch purple border were lower effort MODO versions while the grey border had physical cards printed https://scryfall.com/search?q=t%3Avanguard Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 11:45 on May 20, 2024 |

Yeah, no. Vanguard were originally a casual-focused product designed to be used for the initial Arena summer season and it absolutely worked. The gift boxes flew off the shelves and Arena had a massive influx of players. They did eventually pack-in a few cards with some issues of The Duelist, but that came later after they were already wildly popular.

Sell me some retro bordered commander protection in black-blue-red colors, 'cuz I got the Mishra BROWAR precon and I'm trying keep the borders the same with upgrades. Not doing modern, no matter much you upsell stuff like: vehicles, infinite turns with Gonti's Aether Heart or cheating out from the Warform-must-be-sacced with Obeka / Sundial of the Infinite. Or all the other artifacts with cool ETB and LTB effects. Turns out they haven't reprinted that much hexproof or indestructible with retro frames so Lightning Greaves and Darksteel is out. Swiftfoot got a reprint with BRO though. Diplomatic Immunity, Alexi's Cloak, Pemmin's Aura get me shroud but I got nothing to return them from the GY. Vanishing to introduce everyone on the table to phases out effects? Crucify Mishra on the Phyrexian cross? Give up focusing on targeted hate protection and just pack in all the counterspells + Fork?

Vanguard is a really cool concept but jesus christ were they unbalanced especially looking at them in a modern context. There's a small handful that are just overwhelmingly better than the rest of them.

That loser Titania has 15, now that balances the 9 card hand and permanent exploration.

Actually came across Skull of Orm and Crystal Chimes so there is enchantment recovery available in old frames,without color ID, but likely can't cut stuff to make room for those. Good stuff in case I get get jinxed by another old-frame commander.

Vexing Bauble looks like an absolute slam dunk in Blood Pod, and honestly, probably across a lot of the cedh metagame. Slamming it down t1 will probably cripple a lot of opening hands as well as shutting down most breach lines

Also, it doesn’t prevent you from making GBS threads out your hand after the fact. I’m seriously considering it in Emry since she makes it infinitely recurrable.

The new Ulamog and Kozilek have been spoiled, along with a few cards that had already been leaked. The flare cycle looks pretty good in its extended art version (well, I don't think the black one looks very good). I'll edit this reply later, but they're on Reddit, for those curious.

Also, we got another one of those double-faced cards with a land on the back in Maro's Making Magic article: Disciple of Freyalise 3GGG Creature - Elf Druid Uncommon When Disciple of Freyalise enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice another creature. If you do, you gain X life and draw X cards, where X is that creature's power. 3/3 /// Garden of Freyalise Land As Garden of Freyalise enters the battlefield, you may pay 3 life. If you don't, it enters the battlefield tapped. T: Add G.

An unconditional 1-mana creature counter is incredibly powerful. I don't think there's ever been one before. And it also hits planeswalkers and artifacts. It's extremely good. Better or worse than Swan Song is kind of meaningless since they don't overlap at all, and regardless, I expect this to get a lot of play in every format it's legal in.

I've gotta say that I'm not a fan of this set's theme of "this card is named very similar to this older card and has a very similar but twisted effect". It's just going to make it harder to remember the effects of both related cards. It would've been cute as like a single cycle, but there are just too many so far for me.
