This is almost Reverse Damage + Eye for an Eye in one card. Very playable.

sarmhan posted:gently caress playing around this in limted at uncommon. "Don't attack so that reflecting your biggest guy kills you now or on the backswing" or "attack with enough guys so your kill can't be reflected" ain't exactly too much to play around. It looks to me like a sideboard card in limited, assuming the translation there is correct, against X-burns and big enough creatures and power boosting tricks you've seen.

A 2 mana lava axe with a hold at bay stapled on is not going to be a sideboard card. Two bad cards fused together and effeciently priced is going to be a good card in limited.

If I don't get to write "(Everybody Was) Kung Fu Fighting" as a deck name on my deck registration sheet for a GPT at some point in the next year I'll be majorly disappointed.

It doesn't deal damage at the same time as combat damage occurs in Magic.

Crater claws for anywhere between 4 and 10 on your own hornet nest with Purphoros, god of the forge out doesn't seem impossible to pull off if you're in a G/R devotion shell.

There's really no reason Deflecting Palm needs to be rare. If it could prevent damage to creatures I could see that being rare just for Limited power level, but effects like this have traditionally been uncommon (Reflecting Trap, Captain's Maneuver.) I guess Divine Deflection was a rare, and a huge blowout in Limited at that, but that could target creatures.

 Full cycle of functional refuge reprints:    Phoenix is very very good. Basic lands spoiled also, they're just regular lands, not full-art or anything.

Also wouldn't Cranial Plating likely not work as expected either (in all cases that is), since if you have time to cast this then your opponent has time to move Plating at instant speed to another unblocked creature.

Realistically though I think the moonfolk leviathan is really exciting. I wonder if all the fixing in the set makes Spooky Ghost of Ravnica playable (i mean, it obviously wasn't pre-rotation) if the basic idea of what a control deck is composed of in this format changes. Pretty sure at this point it's time to just

Deflecting Palm deals damage immediately after combat damage but still before SBAs are checked, so the game would be a draw.

I guess Divine Deflection was a rare, and a huge blowout in Limited at that, but that could target creatures. As has been pointed out, the effect is traditionally rare starting with Reverse Damage and Eye for an Eye. Reflecting Trap and Captain's Maneuver are pretty different. Reflecting Trap is a colour hoser and only prevents some of the damage, and you have to pay for each damage with Captain's Maneuver.

Pearl Lake Ancient is just new AEtherling, I think, but slightly less busted in terms of "you win immediately."mcmagic posted:The bird is a huge mana investment... 9 Mana for a 4/1 flyer that shocks something... For whatever reason I assumed it had haste. Yeah, its less good than I was thinking.
