Kasonic posted:Is Ob Nihilus strong enough to include in Modern against decks running multiple fetches? That's a serious effect. You would need a way to cheat it out. By the time you get to six mana, your opponent probably has all the land they need.

On the Sadistic card chat earlier, it's the playable character Eve from The Binding of Isaac. By losing HP, she gets a bonus to her offensive ability and survivability. And just like Eve, she's pretty crap.

I wish New Ob Nix worked with stuff like Slaughter Games and Reap Intellect. The jankiest Grixis Control Deck.

What if in a WB tokens deck you use that reanimation spell to get...something. Any big fatty. Would seem neat.

Bugsy posted:That might might be playable in modern tron, 5(11) is a lot to protect your lands but it might seen play. Probably not, it gets hit by Path to Exile all the same, and it's really only Sowing Salt that's a problem.

 There are a hell of a lot of activated abilities on creatures in this set. Is WotC softening its stance on on-board tricks?

Zorak posted:As the immortal Rich Evans once said, "What?" A new Avacyn? Ooookay. Honestly, I think it's pretty cool to see legendary creatures pop up in new forms in the core set. Ob Nixilis is still alive, kicking, and gathering power (Doug Beyer pointed out that the wings are a new development), Avacyn is still doing her thing. The same thing goes for Planeswalkers--we get to see Ajani in the wake of Elspeth's death, Garruk cursed by the veil, Jace as the Guildpact, and Nissa acting as part of the 'un-gently caress Zendikar' brigade (in a way that's very Zendikar-y). I hope we see more of this kind of thing in core sets.  Hey, more story! Interesting little tidbit about the hedrons. Also a pretty decent card; total boardwipe that you can fire off on your opponent's turn. The Lord of Hats fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Zorak posted:As the immortal Rich Evans once said, "WhaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAT?" I'm not sure I get it either. I guess M15's theme is "MtG's Greatest Hits Remixed"? As far as the large amount of on board tricks we've been seeing, keep in mind that most of the cards that have been previewed have been either rare or mythic, and those don't really have any limit to their complexity. Remember, New World Order is almost entirely limited to the common slot.

Ob Nixilis has an ongoing plotline at least. e: Presumably she factors into the Duels 2015 plotline?

Not oddly specific when the entire set seems to be based around 2009-2013 (post-Duels era, not coincidentally) nostalgia. I noticed the on-board tricks being ramped up too, even at common/uncommon. I'm sure Maro will comment on that, it's obviously a conscious direction.

I kinda want her to get corrupted by Phyrexia, in part of a bargain to save Zendikar from the Eldrazi. Just for the awful pun: Nissa, the Traitor.

Most of the new M15 activated abilities take a lot of mana, so most gameplay decisions will be based around picking one from your total options instead of figuring out all the combinations you can use.

I wonder if Mono White Devotion could be a thing with Angel Mom 2, Elspeth, Heliod, Brimaz, etc., not to mention all the exile cards and stuff like Brave the Elements.whydirt posted:Most of the new M15 activated abilities take a lot of mana, so most gameplay decisions will be based around picking one from your total options instead of figuring out all the combinations you can use. If you actually got Avacyn to stick to the board, you could probably get a lot of that mana off of Nykthos.

Needs something that actually takes advantage of said devotion, or at the very least a mana sink you can combine with Nykthos. Not that I'd complain if someone made MWD work.
