Ah, yeah if you went with the 4th edition (I think) text you have to put 2 cards you drew back or pay 4 life each, and since you didn't draw any of the cards in your hand you have to take 8. The oracle text changed it slightly.

You still have to put 2 back for Brainstorm.

E: seriously even outside of Draft it's a sweet card, probably standard playable in an aristocrats deck.

also this is a weird card and if someone told me the card text without showing me the card I would think it was fake

The GB Aristocrat deck posted in the brew thread and on the Daily Deck is a good place to start. You can start adding fetches for 1-2 more colors around it.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."

Looks pretty legit, I think it's just "The" under the reflection, not much space. 2/3 Deathtouch for 2 seems good on it's own, but it's going to be a lot of work to get the second ability online. I'm just getting spoilt for BW commanders just now.

If it actually is just "The" under the glare then it's probably something like memory-loss Nahiri or something. I'd love another equipment-matters planeswalker in an upcoming set, or some other creative way of using Nahiri.

I've seen the theory floated that it's Ayli, a cleric from original Zendikar flavour text that never got a card, similar to Noyan Dar. Cute little reference, if that's the case.

It's also the first B/W legendary cleric, which is cool for Commander.

Ayli also appeared in a recent UR as the head of a cult worshiping Ulamog.

I'm not sure that the Kor and the il-Kor are the same people.

E: Apparently they are, and Volrath grabbed them off of Zendikar to stick them in Rath, then during the overlay they ended up in Dominaria.

At the beginning of your draw step, you may draw two additional cards. If you do, choose two cards in your hand drawn this turn. For each of those cards, pay 4 life or put the card on top of your library.

lots of tribes on Rath had either il or en in their names. The ones with il worked for the bad guys, the ones with en were independent, so an il-Kor is a Kor who works for the bad guys

Bad EXP received

It's a BW legend with a awkwardly-handled life gain/sacrifice mechanic. Seems likely.

E: I'm gonna go ahead and guess the name's Ayli. After Noyan Dar I'm suspecting they're gonna bring back an original block flavor text character again, and her name is the only one short enough to fit under that glare.



The question is, will they bring back Jaji, Magmaw Worshipper, or perhaps Magmaw itself?

quote:

"We are the Eternal Pilgrims," Ayli intoned. "We shall forever roam!"

"WE SHALL FOREVER ROAM!" chanted the other priests.

"We present these world-gifts in Ula's name!"

Yeah but its step 1 or 2 on the best draws soul sisters has.

What else does sisters get when we add black? Shambling vent and Sorin, solemn visitor seem to fit in nice and you get fun toys like dismember at least at a possibility of less than full price. I don't think this lady's sac ability is relevant here but o-ring on a stick w/ death touch seems better than the 2 drop anthem effect that you don't want anymore anyways if you are adding B to soul sisters.

Orzhov Charm, Vault of the Archangel, hide//seek, castigate, and other discard options. Plus both of the b/w sorrins are pretty good.
