Thunderbreak Regent is playable if you have enough dragons. There's almost certainly a Dragons deck of some kind out there with Regent-Stormbreath-(Kolaghan?) with all the lower CMC dragon enablers.

Hopefully there would be more playable dragons for the deck, but regent and stormbreath alone seem like enough. A lightning strike as punishment for a downfall is probably pretty relevant when your deck also contains a big hasty flier, a hasty flier that can resurrect each combat, and a 4 power flier that leaves behind a morph when it dies. Big red could play a deck filled with value creatures.

Fats Dominar is on the case


So the question is: is the midrange Skies deck pure R, R/B for OG Kolaghan, R/W for Wingmate Roc, or what?

I see Stormbreath, Thunderbreak, and some number of Ashcloud or Flamewake Phoenixes. That 1/3 dragon-cheapener might be worth it as well. Is Dragon Tempest worth it?
There's supposed to be a monocolored rare cycle and a monocolored uncommon cycle, right?

The 4 mana dragon seems playable, but I'm not sure most decks wouldn't just want Ashcloud Phoenix over it.

I see the Dragonlord-goblin as a good sideboard card against quick aggro decks; 3 Toughness for blocking early creatures and speeds up your tempo.

The regent cycle is the monocolored cycle, yeah.

The uncommon cycle probably won't be constructed playable. Probably in line with the FRF uncommon cycle.

I'm pretty sure evolving wilds card number confirms no zendikar fetches assuming the 5 basic lands are in, i dont remember who i was talkin about who bet they were in dtk but score another one for the ol' aisar baseless speculation wagon.

On that note, as somebody who was excited about prophetic flamespeaker, I assure you that while narset will own bones for standard, her modern playability is suspect.

I wouldn't count on anything else playable popping up, really. I think it will be R/B, depending on what else gets printed. Enemy Fetches would mean Arid Mesa, and a good reason to go Mardu (Chained to the Rocks).

The curious thing isn't fetchlands (they aren't strictly necessary for anything other than playing other formats, where you can use KTK fetches perfectly well 90% of the time), its that it suggests there's no further lands to fix your mana despite DTK being an explicitly multicolor set.

Honestly, if they wanna print the Onslaught/Khans Fetches for a 3rd set in a row, I would not complain.

The speculation was based on wishful thinking, I would not be surprised to see them in MM2, however.

Or a possible return to Zendikar which is probably next year at the latest. But as soon as we knew this was an ally color set that basically killed ended enemy fetches.

MTGS Has a speculated Dragon_______ sanctuary cycle and one more land slot in their crunch.

Downsides:
- 2WU mana cost. The only 4+ mana planeswalkers in Vintage are Jace TMS and Tezzeret the Seeker, one of whom is a one-card "You win the game next turn".


Yep, and the other one can get you a Time Vault and Voltaic Key in succession.

(Narset doesn't seem Vintage playable as long as Jace is around. And then still probably not. She takes way too long to affect the game state meaningfully at 4 mana.)

I've lost a lot of games despite having Jace, he's fairly weak in Vintage at the moment because there are a lot of Lightning Bolts in the format. I think Narset is worth giving a shot, because I love the idea of chaining good spells with her.

The issue, of course, is that DTK is a new "block," so they're less likely to do that the way they did with FRF.

Jace isn't that good in Vintage because he's 4 mana to cast. Dack Fayden pitches to Force just as well and steals your opponents Moxen.

Yeah,I don't think they "can" within their framework. You don't put cards in a set that aren't legal with a set.

Before that I think you have to go back to Black Sun's Zenith or Tempered Steel.

I really wish Supplant Form was playable in Standard, because the game day promo art looks awesome.

I quite enjoy the full art promos and jam them everywhere they fit despite their badness. Dungrove Elder, Dryad Militant, and Strangleroot Geist in Modern Stompy? Check. Chief Engineer in MonoU Robits? Check. Sup, Plant Form? in my EDH bounce deck? Check. I do wish they'd pick uncommons that they know will be good in constructed formats more frequently; I don't mind that they pick goofy casual appeal rares for the foil, but it would have been kickass to get Swiftspear/Seeker of the Way over Heir of the Wilds or Nyx-Fleece Ram/Eidolon of Rhetoric over Squelching Leeches. Reclamation Sage Kicks rear end though.


Also, I missed Narset+Doubling Season chat, but I doubt it will be that big of a deal since Doubling Season plus pretty much any decent Planeswalker is really gross because most walkers can ultimate off of double their starting loyalty. Out of 57 walkers only 15 can't, and one of those is Tibbles.

I don't think we're getting enemy fetches but I don't think this being an ally-colored set really requires that. Khans was more enemy than ally and that's where we got the ally fetches.
