Does Convoke cause the tapping of creatures to target them? Because Heroic would like that.

Any human can become a 12/12 simply by lifting enough weights. Clearly Hercules just isn't as swole as he's made out to be.

Flesh to Dust is removal for limited. Such cards often overcosted intentionally in order to make removal not always auto high picks. Here's a list of other cards from the video: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/the-rumor-mill/559095-dotp-2015-video Also, I'm guessing that in addition to supporting convoke that all the token stuff is part of the groundwork for Tarkir block and it will encourage tokens and/or going wide with your creatures generally.

Play G/W, play a mirror entity and ramp until ALL of your creatures are 12/12 humans. What's the problem?

That'd be neat--follow the (ostensibly) all-in aura block with a token swarm block. Too bad that aside from the hexproof decks (which turn very heavily on RTR and core set cards), aura voltron hasn't really taken hold in constructed, which means that actually having the two types go head-to-head in this hypothetical Theros/Tarkir standard probably isn't likely. But who knows!

That vampire looks more like a 4/1 than a 4/3 to me. It being so fragile is also why you'd be paying life to fly it past opposing blockers and stuff. I don't think the angel means a huge amount - I mean yeah it basically seals the deal as control against aggro, on the other hand it's goddamn seven mana. All it really means is that you get to move onto the next game once they've beaten you instead of waiting around in the vain hope that you topdeck that last burn spell and they don't have a counter until they actually find their win condition.

Just pitch it and whip it back whenever you need to stabilize, get back to 20 for 2BB. It'll be fun to use in super standard with pack rat, I guess, mono black can underworld connections for days, you don't even need to use plains.

As a 7-mana sorcery speed creature, Resolute Archangel is probably too slow to be useful (but even that isn't a given depending on what else comes between now and Khans of Tarkir!). The question is whether it will be able to be reanimated (or whipped as suggested) or cheated into play.

This card is an amazing mystery to me, flavor-wise. Okay, so it's a dude who did a bunch of curls on just one arm, so that one arm got swole as gently caress. So far, so good. Then you notice the human in the lower left and realize it's a (formerly) scrawny, weakling giant doing the curls. And what's the human's story? Is that his rock? Why does he want the rock back badly enough to disturb an exercising giant? Or - and this is what I've chosen to believe - is he the giant's spotter?

Yeah, that's not a card that scares me very much. It costs too much to worry me and control decks are rarely racing you to 0 such that this card would matter much.

It's not like having a spotter for bicep curls would be the least sensical thing about that concept.

If the convoke cards like Raise the Alarm and the new Convoke Spectral Procession are anything to go by, chumping to turn 7 will be the way of the world come September.

legoman727 posted:Aetherling was played frequently as a 7 mana creature. With it rotating, there's no way in hell this thing won't be seeing play. Fuuuuuuck. Aetherling was a 7 mana creature that was nearly untouchable by conventional removal, could alter power and toughness, and be completely unblockable. With Aetherling, you had a single turn before the game was taken almost entirely out of reach after it was resolved. It was a solid win condition against the aggro decks, but it really shone against the midrange and control decks. With this, you have a 4/4 flier and your life total is reset. It's only relevant against aggro, and if you drop it against either of the other two they will just laugh and laugh that you dropped that down against them as they kill it and resume attacking your life total.

So I guess this is a cycle that all works the same: Soul of Ravnica 4UU Flying 3UU: Draw a card for each color among permanents you control. 3UU, Exile Soul of Ravnica from your graveyard: Draw a card for each color among permanents you control. 6/6

It's only relevant against aggro, and if you drop it against either of the other two they will just laugh and laugh that you dropped that down against them as they kill it and resume attacking your life total.  Sometimes white decks also pack removal! It's possible - however unlikely - that a Wx control deck could exist in the future. A deck that, just maybe, trades early life while building mana, then plays one of several "sweeper" cards, such as Day of Judgment, to 'control' the flow of the game. A deck like that might - just might, mind you - want to get out of burn range/win a life total race with a creature that presents an evasive threat while putting the game out of reach from midrange decks.Crazy concept I know, when has Wx Control ever been a thing, huh?

A Soul of Kamigawa would be a sweet namedrop since we're not going there as a full set. Soul of New Phyrexia could be kinda neat too.

Also there was some talk that WotC might phase out landwalk as an evergreen ability since it didn't show up at all in Theros (and it's kind of a lame form of evasion and probably not worth the overhead), but the squid tokens from that video have islandwalk.
