I like the new Bushwacker. Goblins definitely wanted more of them, and it could lead to some exciting turns in an ally deck. Standard tokens could maybe use it too. Nameless Inversion is probably fairly strong in standard. Should be cool for C decks, and a good incentive to go in on that theme in draft.

Well, our legendary dude is specifically a surge enabler. Doesn't mean much besides surge is going to be heavy in red and blue though.

Jori actually looks OK in a vacuum to me, although for similar reasons standard is not good for her right now. She can replace herself immediately then threaten to draw more cards if not dealt with.

So basically it's a step closer to just having Lightning Strike.

and i should have specified being instant speed means it hits shambling vents, as that is basically a staple standard creature as well e: and the flipside is since it doesn't exile it worse against rally, but you want instant speed removal against rally in general so its a bit of a wash atelier morgan fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Dec 28, 2015 |

It's like Silkwrap insofar as it costs two, and targets creatures.

stinkles1112 posted:Like, I take your point here, but this is a terrible comparison. It's like Silkwrap insofar as it costs two, and targets creatures. Two mana removal is a specific slot that decks want and whether this sees play is pretty dependent on how it stacks up to similar cards Both Silkwrap and this one share the same general niche of 'kills small creatures', so they're more directly comparable than Ultimate Price f.ex

I was a little surprised Draconic Roar didn't eventually show up in non-dragon decks, but I guess Fiery Impulse is just a much better card.

They cost different colors, is the main thing. I don't think people will try to splash for it but the fact that a deck playing C will have a decent Jace answer is good to know.

How much of a resurgence do you all expect to see in wedge decks that run off of tri-lands and pain lands to support a colorless splash?

Colorless cards need to be better than Nameless Inversion to get people to stop splashing for Crackling Doom in UWR decks.

It seems good with Amulet of Vigor, but I don't know if Bloom wants it.

My initial thought would be if it sees play in Amulet Bloom. Even without Amulet out you can get usable mana from Titan.
