If my opponent has a notion thief and I activate a draw ability at the end of their turn to dredge, which replacement effect happens? I think as the controller of the draw I would pick but wanted to confirm.

mcmagic posted:OK I guess. So you're saying that Geist will be in SOI too? See the thing is, I know your a smart guy. You are good at the game. So I'm pretty sure your just trolling at this point. Did you think Avenger of Zendikar was going to be in BFZ because it was the face card of the duel with Oblivion Sower? how about Polukranos and Sun Titan? Where you expecting a Sun Titan reprint???

Arcanis the Omnipotent, one of the pit fighter legends from Onslaught, in Kahns? It's almost like, consistently, one face card is new and the other is a reprint.

Sickening posted:Removal at mythic it pretty dumb. You do not what that card at Rare or lower in this limited format, and its otherwise a niche card so it should stay down in price. Niton posted:Nissa's durdle game is strong, and her -2 does a decent impression of Gideon's -4 in topdeck mode. I can't imagine what would play her currently, but I don't think you can completely write off anything that durdles so well. Funny you compare her to Gideon; the two of them are busted together.

Ramos posted:How is Atarka Red going to use it? It requires casting an Eldrazi spell to get the big flashback effect and the deck hasn't even been using the Radiant Flames card. It wouldn't be useful for it's second mode, but if you have some swiftspear a and abbots out, an atarkas command and this on your turn during the combat phase can wipe their small creatures off the board and allow yours with their prowess triggers to survive and crash in as an alpha strike. It's an instant speed pyroclasm. That's not bad. Force of will exists in legacy as does daze. Both counters don't require mana, so tapping out wouldn't be the end of the world. Besides your counters can't be countered with this guy in play. So you win.

Pyroclasm is a good card that is used all over. Printing a new one for 3 seems pretty relevant in standard. It's dumb that it's mythic, but it could do some work. Radiant flames isn't anywhere near as good.

I feel like Nissa's being kind of underrated here. Her -2 is a pseudo anthem which could be really sweet along with Gideon anthems in a token based strategy, like maybe Atarka red v v.

Insant pyroclasm at 3 cmc is good enough to make it a very good card. Its being colorless means that protection and red hating spells do nothing. Radiant flames isn't worse, it is just different. Converge makes radiant flames good in a multi color deck because you can often times choose between 1-3 damage, which is very relevant. There are plenty of times 2 isn't going to do poo poo and a 3 cmc one would. Both are good tools that is going to depend on the meta. It is kind of foolish to directly compare them.

Right, I'm just spitballing--atarka red is just the most popular token based deck atm--but Bant tokens seems pretty solid with her. Tokens strategies want a critical mass of anthem effects. With Nissa and Gideon in standard that's 8 playable "anthems" in GW, 12 if you count retreat. I don't think the curve consideration is that important since growing your team is pretty strong at any point in the game especially in a durdly format as the current one.

I think the new nissa fits pretty much only in the very popular scales deck that casual people love to play. The decks that can pay 1GG on turn 3 consistently are going to be pretty niche and honestly, what deck wants to? I feel like this was one of those cards that was a + 1/1 plant in playtesting and then made 0/1 through bad decision making. Even at 1/1 it wouldn't have been too good and mostly just a small Gideon.

There is absolutely no chance it was ever +1 make a 1/1.

Wouldn't Nissa fit better into some sort of GB aristocrats that uses beating an opponent's face in as another path to victory? I mean, gently caress getting fancy, just value, value, value. Remove this or I get an endless supply of sacrifice fodder.Errant Gin Monks posted:It wouldn't be useful for it's second mode, but if you have some swiftspear a and abbots out, an atarkas command and this on your turn during the combat phase can wipe their small creatures off the board and allow yours with their prowess triggers to survive and crash in as an alpha strike. It's an instant speed pyroclasm. That's not bad. First one is definitely win more if it even comes into effect. Second one I can buy, though the sphinx will be at most a one of in the sideboard due to how long those sorts of matches tend to go. Ramos fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Is anyone concerned about Sphinx of the Last Word? 7 mana seems very achievable now, I feel like blue will get it too good for too long, and also priced out of FNM. I hope there's a good Mardu deck that can Doom it at least.
