Slightly better than what I saw people guessing at. *looks at cmc* Why 5... why?
Corner case on the Dictate of Kruphix, it says draw step instead of upkeep so you can flash it in on your turn to draw two?

All of these are great, from the art to the effect. A little disappointing in terms of the specific effect, but certainly not bad.

Keranos has got to be in the top tier of gods, better than xenagos, probably better than ephara. It's either card advantage through drawing, card advantage through removing threats or a clock. I suppose it doesn't deal with DD, polukranos or courser though.

As far as turbo effects go, this one is pretty good, but turbofog would not fare well in the current standard. I want to believe in turbo fog. e: also this cycle looks super cool. Take an already good ability and make it better by giving it flash. Loads of fun. Dr. Stab fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Apr 8, 2014 |

All four of those are cool. I'm really curious to see what the rest of the Dictate cycle is like, being able to flash them out to get some sort of initial asymmetry is a neat idea.

The corner case of you and your opponents having a staredown over their cleanup step is pretty rare. Keranos looks awesome!

Oh hell yes. Flash enchants certainly do help Constellation somewhat. Draw two at instant speed, with an extra draw every turn after? Why thank you Blue/Green, I do believe I will.

Keranos owns. Card advantage if you hit land, damage advantage if you hit a spell. The cmc is high for u/r but maybe a URw control deck with keranos as a late game win con? Or U/R control/burn with a suite of counterspells and anger the gods/mizz mortars?

^^^ American Control would love it except for the fact Legion does a wonderful job right now of ending the game and controlling the board. It needs to be tested as like a 2 of.Nemico posted:You do it at the end of your opponents turn almost certainly.

I'm totally fine with him having one ability vs Iroas' two. You will always be drawing cards in

Being able to flip a dead land draw into your hand automatically and get a fresh card as well is pretty bonkers and absolutely better than most of the abilities on the gods so far.

Also seems to make scrying a lot better. Being able to do stuff like magma jet and either set up an extra draw or a burn depending on what you need would be really good. More excuses to play prognostic sphinx.

Toshimo posted:Just remember, if you have a land on top of your deck, you can target your Heroic dudes with Keranos and get the Heroic trigger without shooting them in the face. "Whenever you cast a spell that targets" e: also Keranos won't target if you don't hit a nonland. He sets up two triggered abilities that only trigger if their conditions are satisfied.

Also not gonna lie, between that both-players-draw card from yesterday and the Dictate today, I just bought a playset of Notion Thiefs on MTGO.

I'm really happy with Keranos. Setting up burns or draws using scry will be so much fun. UR midrange with Keranos, Stormbreath, Prognostic maybe?

Keranos looks like the stone cold nuts. Yes, he costs 5, but his ability *will* always get you something. I think Iroas will be worse than he initially looked, and Keranos will be better. I mean, I guess turn 5 is pretty slow, but it just oozes value and inevitability.

Ok interesting idea for Underworld Coinsmith... 4 of in sideboard of BW to come in to burn out control opponents? If they counter it, no big deal and if they don't you can start whittling them down.

Is Keranos worded such that if you draw a card during your opponent's turn you get the reveal trigger? Or is the "your turn" precluding that?

If you're spending life on Thoughtseize and Connections and your opponent is gaining life Sphinx's Rev it probably wouldn't work.
