Sort of fringe but the Myr Heartless combo deck would play Atheros quite well too. Probably not enough to push it out of tier 2 janky fun deck status but who knows? Biovisionary combo(actual meaning of combo since it ends the game!) got better with the Poly Rush spell. Two Sylvan Caratids, three lands, two Biovisionaries or 1 Biovisionary and endstep Fated Infatuation and you win the game if your opponent is tapped out on turn 4-5.

Since we all love idle speculation, one of the audience members asked a question about Return to Homelands that got a quick "Was that Dominaria?" which was really unsolicited. We could possibly say that they're thinking about going back there since it was the first thing to pop into the MTG lead guy's head. Whether that is Huey or not...

Athreos + any board wipe Athreos + attacking with any on-death creature. He doesn't work super well with tokens unfortunately, but that sure is one heck of a punisher card. He's funny with Gary too, but any smart player will just take 3 damage every time. Still a very cool and probably powerful card for only 3 mana.

B/W humans running athreos and ETB/death effects definitely makes maindecking board wipers a good thing. Drown in sorrow would be maindeckable and actually pretty awesome if you had a necromancer or two out. Bunch of zombies, then either get humans back or cause life loss.

Downside(or upside for control players) is that Merciless Eviction is really good at wiping the board without taking damage from Atheros. Six mana is steep though.

Interesting thought for Poly Rush is that it can be a 3+ mana kill spell for blue? It's unfortunately a two for one to do it but mono blue doesn't have many options. Turns something on your board into another Master of Waves. Does 'creatures' in the text mean non-tokens? If not then there's some synergy with Young Pyromancer. vvv Ahh ok. Thoroughly a two-for-one in a mono blue shell then when used that way. Still might be useful in certain match ups if people learn it's incredibly efficient and versatile.

Something that says target creature can target any creature unless it says "creature card." A token is not a card so would not be a valid target. That is pretty rare for things that are on board though.

Anyone watching SCG Dallas? The game that just ended was nuts. R/G Aggro almost loses with lethal damage on board because his opponent blocked so weirdly. Then his opponent loses the next turn because he taps out for Sphinx and gets Skullcracked, when all he had to do to live and probably win was Sphinx for 2 less so he could still Last Breath Aggro guy's only creature on board.

Defending Dallas Open Champion is playing the BG Dredge deck this weekend, I think he's undefeated so far? Would be cool if he repeats. Anyone watching GP Philly? Anything happening over there that have been cool moments to look forward to on the replays? I think I'm burned out on Theros drafting but good matches are still fun to watch.

I went through several pages of Gatherer, and only found references to Library, Hand, Graveyard, and Exile, where tokens can't exist. The reason Duplicant is templated the way it is is that tokens cease to exist when placed in any non-battlefield zone, and it needs to refer to cards in the exile zone to derive values (P, T, type). Similarly it can exile an active Hidden Gibbons but it does not become a 4/4 Ape if it does because Hidden Gibbons is not a creature in the exile zone. Also, I wanted to reference Hidden Gibbons. a matter of gibbon take
