The number on Evolving Wilds is 248 out of 264, leaving room for 16 cards. I guess there could be 3 basic land arts, but since there are 5 basics there have to be exactly 5, 10, or 15 basics in the set. Khans had 4 of each art (20 cards), and FRF had 2 of each (10). I guess since Dragons is 5 smaller than Khans (264 vs 269) there are probably 3 arts, and I bet the other non-basic will be the third "of the Spirit Dragon" land to go with Tomb and Crucible. Throne Room?

They haven't done the thing where all the dead dragons on the fetches are now alive, right? Kinda makes them an autoinclude imo.

When we get the Arcana article that tells us how many Basics are in the set (or any article showing a non-basic in a slot we expected a Basic, like #252 or something) we'll know (roughly) how many non-basics are in the set but until then it's all wild speculation.

Angry Grimace posted:Well, obviously, you are smarter and better at Magic than I am; I imagine you are also better looking. You're right, it's more beneficial to the thread to actually discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of U/W Control. In my opinion, U/W is still a perfectly viable color combination for control right now, but the biggest thing standing in its way was that U/B was just better. Narset (and maybe that new Command card) have the potential to tip that balance. U/W doesn't have access to the good removal and hand disruption that black provides, but it does get to play Elspeth, which is just a powerful enough catch-all card that it might be worth the trade off. Narset fills the same slot Jace, AoT did in a lot of ways, and what Ashiok does right now in U/B, namely, drawing combat damage away from you and towards it, and providing incremental card advantage. You know how hard it is to kill Ashiok via pure combat damage if it comes down on T3. Narset is the same for T4. NO opponent will ignore Narset while she's on the board and they know you're playing control. Narset's ceiling seems much higher than Ashiok or Jace, AoT, however. Using her -2 on ANY draw spell in your deck is insane (even Divination). The biggest liability with End Hostilities or Crux right now is that they deploy a big threat after you have to tap out for it on T5. Narset allows a sweeper effect 2 turns in a row, giving the control player time to untap and hold counterspells up, or just deploy Elspeth for defense. Her +1 will be just as good as Domri's +1 was in Standard, which was nuts. It also makes your fetches slightly better, as if you know your top card is a land, you can crack to not draw it next turn. 4 mana, starts at 7 loyalty, every ability is good. This card will make U/W Control A THING again.

Do we even get that before the whole set is spoiled? I thought they had that on the Tuesday before Prerelease?

I need someone to explain to me why Esper, or just U/B splash white for Narset, is so obviously a nonstarter. Is it literally just that the wedges have a triland and a shard doesn't?

IDK. You have 8 fetchlands for Esper plus 12 temples.... I have no idea why it's not viable. (thought I think Narset would be better in a Jeskai Control shell...)

The most common U/B variant is running 28 lands, and Fetchlands are lovely fixing if you can't get a shock off it. There's a reason U/B control was just trying to win without a Wrath at all prior to Crux getting printed, and a reason Esper Control was less popular than U/W control even when Shocks were in Standard.

If it is rampant speculation, which seems most likely, it will be impossible to move at the inflated price but will hold price memory and never see any movement at the goofy temporary inflation. Remember when River of Tears and Secluded Glen were "$25"?

Hey DTK is an allied colored set and U/W are allied colors maybe we should see the whole set before we discuss the merits of this allied color control deck that doesn't currently exist but might after other allied cards are revealed.

I have this alternate plan where we talk about Magic in the Magic thread and don't get worked up over the fact that something may make you wrong later. The color pie is so rarely broken you can usually predict accurately that neither white nor blue is getting Thoughtseize or Hero's Downfall. Obviously, I'll be wrong if a Sphinx's Revelation reprint shows up in DTK. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Heh, on the topic of 4 cmc walkers that reminds me that people thought the Ajani and Jace were going to see real play. Perhaps we can assemble the dreamtime combo of Jace, Ajani and Narset! Also I wonder if the new Sarkhan (assuming it is him, and not just a sorcery with his face on it) will go back to RG. You know, to show he has come full circle?

Hey not sure if this is the right board but i figured id ask since i couldnt find any other one. I was at a draft yesterday, and im just getting reacquainted with the game. Anyway i was playing some guy who wasnt paying attention and ended up drawing out hos entire library. On his final turn, with no cards in his library, he activated tasigurs ability which is: "Put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard, then return a nonland card of an opponent's choice from your graveyard to your hand." My question is basically should he have been able to use the ability even though he had no cards to put into the graveyard.

Putting two cards in your graveyard is not a cost or requirement to use Tasigur's ability. He can use the ability even with nothing to put into his graveyard; he doesn't lose because you have to actually attempt a draw from an empty library to lose.

Yes. There's no conditionals there, and you don't put the cards into your graveyard as a cost, so it just does as much as it can.

 Risen Executioner Creature - Zombie Warrior Risen Executioner can't block. Other Zombie creatures you control get +1/+1. You may cast Risen Executioner from your graveyard if you pay an additional (1) for each other creature card in your graveyard.

I really like the design on this. I probably wouldn't run it over any of the current one-drops that don't need any mana investment to have 2 power, but the way it can hit the board hard at any stage of the game and own planeswalkers is cool.

Really. I could see WUG Walkers that is just a reversion to the earlier Walker decks pre-Khans. Caryatid/Courser core with Ajani (Mentor), Narset, Elspeth, and Nissa. That sounds pretty loving scary, honestly. Edit: Think of this. Turn 1: Scryland Turn 2: Caryatid Turn 3: Narset (good luck killing her short of Downfall) Turn 4: End Hostilities Turn 5: (Rebound End Hostilities) Ajani/Nissa/Value Town Turn 6: Break face AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Mar 5, 2015 |
