 This just seems too good in general for blue, even absent the Lieutenant clause. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Oct 29, 2014 |

btw, Stoneforge Mystic isn't Nahiri but Nahiri's design was inspired by Stoneforge Mystic http://dougbeyermtg.tumblr.com/post/101271064144/nahiri-is-fantastic-and-so-is-the-story-much-thanks#notes

I think my favorite part about that is that the red equivalent is 2 mana worse, isn't even a 7/7 for 7, and has a really mediocre trigger with lieutenant. Meanwhile blue gets a hexproof 5/5 for 5 which becomes a 7/7 with a commander out and you draw 2 if it gets blocked. Yeah I'm on to you Maro.

I think every colour has a reason to complain about the animals/monsters they get saddled with. Blue: "I don't care how smart it is. It's a loving Kraken." Green: "At least it's not a tree. Have you ever tried talking to a tree? Sometimes it doesn't talk back just to gently caress with your head." White: "Goats... goats everywhere..." Black: "Why do we get the gross ones? Bats, rats, snakes, spiders... urgh. You guys can't complain." Red: "NO YOU STUPID FLYING LIZARD, THAT'S OUR CAMP!"

I think WOTC is just giving a very obvious nod to the fan-theory that Stoneforge Mystic was the Lithomancer. Whether Stoneforge Mystics in general look like the Lithomancer is kind of irrelevant. They're just recasting the person in Stoneforge Mystic as Nahiri. Basically, the person in Stoneforge Mystic is Nahiri, but the Stoneforge Mystic you summon isn't Nahiri. Despite the fact that this makes no sense.

They maybe made the outfit a bit too similar. Elspeth Tirel was a Knight of the Reliquary, but they didn't copy the outfit and hairstyle from one to the other so exactly.

None of this, of course, explains why Stoneforge Mystic is more powerful than Nahiri, the Lithomancer.

Angry Grimace posted:None of this, of course, explains why Stoneforge Mystic is more powerful than Nahiri, the Lithomancer. Is she though? Like ok, in a competitive magic context Stone Forge Mystic is better, that is true. BUt that is largely a factor of mana costs. If Nahiri cost the same as Stoneforge, then I think Nahiri is more powerful. I tend not to look at mana cost when considering how powerful something would be in canon.

I can only imagine the level of rear end kicking Sarkhan and Gideon would be able to give if they lost their spark, considering what they can do already.

Actually a 5 mana 1/1 token generator is probably not that much better than a squire and that's what this walker more or less is without equipment.

TheKingofSprings posted:Planeswalker lose power when they are no longer creatures It seems like you guys are equating a permanents abstract "power" with its playability, which I would argue is not the same thing. Venser the Sojourner can give you an emblem that exiles a permanent whenever you cast a spell! That's more powerful than Venser the creature, although the creature is much more efficient and thus more playable.

That's more powerful than Venser the creature, although the creature is much more efficient and thus more playable. Venser, Shaper Savant can bounce spells from the stack. That's kind of a pretty unique thing to do. I mean, in a lot of cases it's the same effect as Remand, but there are corner cases where it's not.
