Funnily enough, Monstrous would be the perfect keyword for that ability if it wasn't taken, since it would play up the 'only the lone Herculean hero can slay this beast' aspect. Or the lone Herculean typhoid rat, I guess.

Green Abyss dies to removal that is and isn't rotating out of standard.

I wish he had 2 Less Renown and Trample instead.

Also, I wish Bad SotF was better, even though it turns Dorks into Wincons.

whoa wtf i didn't see the part about graveyards. It's a loving nightmare to keep track of a dredge graveyard that way. the way I do it now is I lay my graveyard out on one side of the mat, with the left edge peeking so I can identify narcomoebas and bridges really quickly.

Maybe the elf is a 2/1 and the beast is a 2/2! But in reality, this is probably the design and development teams not really communicating on the idea.

Scry 5, then reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, draw cards equal to its power and gain life equal to its toughness.

Herald of the Pantheon is a card that makes no sense for not being in Theros.

Yeah, while it's a bit hard to do story wise, this works in a really cool way

Imagine a set with, say, Vryn for Esper Colors and Muraganda (dinosaur/prehistoric plane) for Gruul.

I'm probably just dealing with recency bias.

Also I'm having way too much fun thinking of new standard decks. UR Artifact Tempo? Abzan Enchantments? Goblins? GB Non Combo Elves?

That's what makes it a cool design. It will destroy what it finds ugly, but the only difference between it and what's ugly is that it's an elf, and elves are always beautiful.

I was a little surprised at how many people hated the 2/1 Prowess guy. Seeker of the Way is playable as gently caress and I feel like that guy is better than Seeker of the Way past turn 4 or so.

Who hates it? It's playable in standard, even if it doesn't really have a home right now. It fits in the same type of deck as new Chandra( i.e. not aggro-burn). My first inclination is Jeskai or UR Tempo, but we'll see.

I mean, okay, one of them was mcmagic, but a lot of people are saying that's not a Standard card. I think its pretty close.

The argument against that card is its not as good on turn 2 as it is later. Well, okay, but its also not so far below rate on turn 2 to say the card sucks, imo.

Who are you arguing against? Most of the thread hasn't expressed a strong opinion on the card either way.

I think the card's fine, just not exciting enough to warrant much discussion.
