Bile blight?

Some differences about Bile Blight that make it better: It has incredible, win the game, blow out potential, if they see it game 1, they have to play around it the rest of the match and it will change how aggressive they advance their board against you. It's not dead against control decks that run Elspeth or Big Garruk in G1's.

Is Ultimate Price really a good mainboard card though? It doesn't hit 2/3 of the threats in the most popular deck. It hits everything in R/W Aggro, but it doesn't seem like that much of an improvement over Hero's Downfall to suggest its a complete killer of that deck (which itself gets better with Roast in the format).

I could see it in Modern Merfolk (the UU show dragon counterspell) since you are animating mutavaults anyway, if your opponent interferes with your lords or something (barring abrupt decay) then it seems alright. Worth trying in some shape or form.

Or I dunno, that opinion might be terrible because I am a horrible player who plays merfolk in modern. :shrug:

Yes, but if you have it in play and animated, you control a Dragon, and thus it's full Counterspell.

No, he knows that, its that not being able to reveal it and having to pay to turn Mutavault on cuts down on the upside of the card by a lot.

Based on the design file they leaked, there apparently are 0 dragon cycles at common. Perhaps there will be red whelps or something.

Or a rare Dragonland that produces whelps. :negative:

Fair enough. It didn't seem like it, since Samael's whole post was predicated on having animated mutavaults, so it felt like that was overlooked. :shrug:

Not really. If you have three dragons in your UU-instant-supporting-deck (is this even likely in a good deck?) then you have only a seventy percent chance of seeing one in the top thirteen cards.

A more likely scenario for Merfolk is that if your opponent has fewer than three untapped lands, Mana Leak is full Counterspell.

I dunno, Inversion isn't actually all that bad. I was thinking that the card might be decent in like a UB faeries shell, where a random 1/1 can team up with inversion to kill basically anything. The one thing that Inversion misses that is actually relevant is like Deceiver Exarch and Siege Rhino. It's an interesting idea at the least.

The former, if I'm seeing it right. Three tokens come in, three Anafenza triggers on the stack. First one resolves, put a counter on a gobbo. Repeat twice, you have four bears for the price of two and a half.

Anafenza says non-token. If she didn't, you'd get bears.

Sooooo much work.
Step 1: Get to 7 mana
Step 2: Mill an opponent enough that there are a significant amount of lands in their yard (fetches don't help) and spells to make it worthwhile.
Step 3: Cast this
Step 4: Profit at a glacial pace, casting 1 spell per turn and hope the enchantment doesn't get removed.

It's not even guaranteed to be good in EDH since you have to hit players who share at least 1 color with you as the off-color lands will be colorless.

AFAIK, there's an uncommon mono-colored cycle, an uncommon multicolored cycle, and a whole poo poo-ton of rares. Plus the one uncommon cycle and the bad Lava Axe in FRF.

Based on what we've seen though, it seems like the rare in any given pack is almost more likely to be a dragon than not.

Blue has Counterspell if you have Dragonthreshold and Force Spike if you don't. Red gets Searing Blaze if you have Dragonthreshold and Thunderclap if you don't. One of these things seems much better than the other.

The fact that you just get one grab at their graveyard and don't get any subsequent cards makes it awful. OK, that's one of like five things making it awful.

Maybe if you did this at 5 mana it would be a cool black Jace's Ingenuity, but alas.

It's 11 uncommons, 10 rares, 5 mythics then whatever the keystones do from what we currently know.

10 rares isn't a majority of rares in the set.

Dragonthreshold is an awesome term.

It's a super casual card that doesn't even appeal to casual people since by the point you want to use it you would have milled them out. And if this isn't meant to appeal to the guy who insists on playing mill then I don't have a clue what they were going for.
