Most aura aren't particularly that good, especially since Heroic isn't a thing anymore to take advantage of them. RIP Skyguard and Hero of Iroas wombo combos.

Rinkles posted:I don't think this card was posted earlier (and I don't recall it being in the sample deck article earlier, but it's there now) It looks pretty good for limited if the low drop support exists in B/x. I mean if I can play a 2/1 downside black dude t1 and throw this on it on turn 2 I would be pretty happy with the effect at common.

It cycles itself in most cases, so it mitigates the worst part about playing auras.

That card is probably playable in some decks but it should in no way be compared to Madcap Skills

Will they actually errata cards like Goblin War Drums to say "creatures you control have Menace"? That will slightly change how those cards work with spells that remove abilities from creatures.

If it makes you feel any better everyone in this thread and even the best players in the world all have a really bad track record when it comes to figuring out if a card turns out being "good" or not.

That will slightly change how those cards work with spells that remove abilities from creatures. I am pretty sure they won't errata it if it would have any gameplay change at all, for example, they didn't errata lifelink onto creatures that had the gain life on damage trigger, since lifelink isn't a triggered ability.

Now you can get both on a single creature and gain twice as much life as the damage it deals!

Jonked posted:Because it's a skullclamp-esque effect and increasing toughness would go against the 'theme' of the card? Skullclamp is also considered one of the most busted cards they've ever printed, and by making it a +2/+1 it's basically a slightly better Unholy Strength because it replaces itself?

Skullclamp was originally supposed to give +1/+1, but they changed it to +1/-1 as a "drawback" that accidentally made the card much better.

Onmi posted:Is Baneslayer not rocking? Baneslayer is a very good card(not great, but very good), but not because of the protection abilities, which are usually marginal at best. Ironically they're almost relevant in current standard except not really because baneslayer beats all the dragons in a fight anyway(except atarka I guess, and it can't be stolen by old silumgar or blocked by young silumgar so I guess it actually is relevant).
