RR into RWB seems sketchy mana-wise.

Yeeeeah, but I'm mostly just saying that I miss playing her and then smacking someone for three damage turn two. She was good friends with the Eidolon of the Pyrostatic Pillar too. The end of a Standard is such a tragic time. :cry:

I want to see what mana fixing we get for limited. So far at < Rare we have one cycle of uncommon trilands. I'm guessing there's at least one common fixing cycle we haven't seen yet if they want 3-color decks to be draftable. There's 10 non-basic land slots left in the number crunch, right?

Potentially more if there are any lands alphabetically before Bloodstained Mire, but yes there are at least 10 nonbasic land slots unaccounted for.

I just want Fetchlands to come out already so Courser of Kruphix can be even more busted.

Courser, play fetch, gain a life, pay and search for a land, gain a life. :getin:

If courser wasn't in the Clash Pack it would be 30 bucks.

I want to buy two Domris to just due to the fact he's a 1-2 of in Pod.

Would now be a good time to do that? I'd also get some mileage out of them playing the G/R Devotion list for a bit as well.

The clash packs are already disappearing in certain areas. I hope I manage to pick one up for the EDH-ables inside, because Temple of Mystery is a fine land and Prophet of Kruphix enables me to time walk every single turn.

NTM it also has Genesis Hydra which I think should be a 6-7 dollar card.

Borderposts are some of the best mana fixing in limted ever printed (in their environment, at least). Almost as good as signets.

I'm pretty sure some Borderposts saw a tiny bit of constructed play, but that was when I stopped actively following Magic for a little while.

I believe Borderposts saw play in at least the Extended Restore Balance decks, dunno if they were played in more that.

I don't remember them (Borderposts) in LorSha-Alara or Alara-Zendikar standards.

In limited they were fine. Fixing T1-T2 as "land drop" or T3+ as ramp. Have an active 3/2 *blade T2 after dropping Borderpost T1.

Edit:
That's actually bullshit, buddy played them in (SWEET) deck that qualified him for Finnish nats back then!

Neat little design, not quite as good as spirit bonds, but still a slam dunk.

I'm wondering if this is a limited environment where we will have to draft a wedge instead of a color, much like how in rtr you had to draft a guild rather than a color.

See the Unwritten seems really good in the Dredge deck (or delve, I guess). Fills up the yard and Nemesis of Mortals is >4 power.

Alternatively you just dunk them onto the board and then have the mana to monstrous next turn.

I get that they basically can't make all the wedge cards perfectly balanced between their colors (e.g. Mardu Ascendancy) but this one seems like it represents White, Green, and Black pretty evenly while also being true to Abzan flavor and it's awesome for that.

I've been mulling a Teysa, Orzhov Scion Commander deck for awhile, since I mained Orzhov back during Ravnica and I've always been fond of Teysa. More good WB cards please me.

My first thought is that it didn't seem very black, but then I realized that cards like Bridge from Below and Xathrid Necromancer set a precedent from making tokens when creatures die as black.

Yes. I know it will see play since it hits anything but it's still clunky to spend 4 mana on a one for one.

Control decks will absolutely use this. It's an answer to literally any threat now that Mutavault is gone (assuming no manland replaces it).

Yeah, I admit that I don't even play Real Magic (DotP is all I've played since like Tempest block), but that's an instant, permanent Oblivion Ring for +1 colored mana. Overcosted is not the word I'd use.
