Speaking of Gimmick Decks: Mono-Red Devotion deck. Eidolon of the Great Revel and Thunderbreak Regent and laugh at your opponent taking 5 to try and downfall your Stormbreath. Think of the value!

Weird. There's already alternate art version of Dragonlord's Servant? https://twitter.com/marshall_lr/status/573554454651273216 http://mythicspoiler.com/dtk/cards/dragonlordsservant.html Is there like a whole comic strip of this little dude's adventures?

Alright, Zurgling rush kekekekekekekeke ^_______________^ That said, I'm not playing it until rotation. Bravo, WotC. Edit: Without Reckoner, Fanatic of Mogis is a gimmick, it's impossible to maintain any board presence as Red in this standard, deck got way better when I removed Fanatic for Ashcloud.

I just sort of assumed the "dirty poors" part gave that away. I mean, well, I guess I don't know. Some of you Sligh-players might actually be unwashed commoners well beneath my station.

Angry Grimace posted:Dash avoids Drown and Anger, but I think that's less of a benefit than you're imagining because dash actually sucks in a deck with 18 lands in it. You're not playing more threats than the opponent can deal with, you're playing one tiny threat over and over just to play around a single card. Also surprise hasty dudes often act as reach especially against control decks, which may make them have to use Force of Will at an inopportune time.

Irony Be My Shield posted:It doesn't actually suck, you run out of cards to play quite quickly in a low-curve deck (especially if you're trying to avoid an Anger/Drown blowout) and having a mana sink to keep applying pressure to your opponent is really nice. It helps if the creature in question is also a really good card to just play on turn one. Why do I get the impression this Force of Will joke has staying power and will be shopped into every set from now on? Jorath posted:Please tell me you played Rukh Egg. I always found it funny there is a card named "Roc Egg" which is referential card to "Rukh Egg," but in white.

Would you want a goblin welder in your collection? He'd turn your Teeka's Dragons into like Mindslavers what an rear end in a top hat.

Those are some terrible 'chops you got there, G-Man. Also that looks like such an awkward 3D render. e: it's the goofy lens flare.

 The "Gideon is from Theros" theory now seems to have convinced everyone that the guy in this flavor text is a reference Gideon Jura on his "home plane" with a bastardized-Latin name.

Gideon isn't from Theros, though. Nissa is the only planeswalker of those in Origins whose home plane we know of (and will visit). At least according to Wizards.
