I like all three of these. Also Chandra's Oath wording is weird. End step trigger, that looks back to see if a 'walker entered this turn. Why not just a plain ol' trigger?

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:The rare slot sure does have some great stuff that I will inevitably get every time I open a pack. That's hella goofy and I love that they do this, but I wonder if repeatable 1U: Scry 1 is actually playable. I wish it didn't cost 2U to cast the thing in the first place. 3UU to get your first Scry 1 is a bit steep. That's like a whole turn in limited, and this doesn't even block like Scryfish.

Why would that artist literally copy and paste the Titans so flagrantly? At least slightly redraw them from the new angle. Also if they beat Ulamog and Kozilek by setting them on fire that is definitely the stupidest possible resolution to this storyline. Clearly the way to defeat Phyrexia is to set their glistening oil on fire.

These are all cool, even tho Bonds does very little in limited, I guess that's more an EDH effect

All it takes is a hand of lotus mana crypt mox mox this laboratory maniac pact of negation and you get the turn 1 win every time. If you have an ancestral and draw perfect it's a little better.

Reality Smasher seems really sweet and jfc I just now realized that's going into Modern. Is there actually any good way to deal with that on turn 3? Fall of the Titans seems really close to playable in Tron, play an egg then crack the egg for your red and kill two things/fireball someone to the dome.

Reality Smasher could be constructed playable. 5 mana 5/5 trample haste that can't be killed without card disadvantage? Sign me up. What's with all these weird ETB enchantments 2 years after Theros?

Smasher is playable in that Eldrazi deck and it's probably going to be a big loving headache to deal with. E: I'm excited though, it's a cool design and it'll make a sweet addition to that deck.

Hedron Alignment is officially the first rare I'll be getting in OOB draft. >_> As long as I don't get Drana's Chosen, I think it might just be the worst card in the set.

pointsofdata posted:For a second I thought that this was incredible in limited but now I'm not even sure if it is playable. It gets absolutely wrecked by bounce... Anything that requires you to have a bunch of stuff in your graveyard to be functional is awful in limited. It's one of those cards that you should never play but you'll lose to every now and then and get really upset about it.

Reality Smasher is exactly the value engine we all need (to have 4 of in every deck).

Rares are supposed to have the most limited unplayables in a small set. The saturation of good rares was one of the problems with Fate Reforged. If you put your unplayables at common you get dragon's maze  .

And before anyone says only blue and white can beat the haste eldrazi, Wall of Tanglecord is available in any deck and you can even use a Weatherseed Totem to activate its reach ability edit: Although I agree that Wall of Frost is pretty overpowered

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:The rare slot sure does have some great stuff that I will inevitably get every time I open a pack. Oh man, I love this thing. That's a fantastic alternate wincon. Honestly though, with the scry ability on it, I can see this sneaking it's way into some limited decks. Maybe I'm insane and that's way too slow, but repeated scry seems good, especially if you can represent things like that UG eldrazi with your mana.

suicidesteve posted:This is presumably meant to be the same battle from each of the superfriends's perspective. I'm assuming there will be a white and blue one from a slightly different angle too. I doubt it - in the art and flavor text, Bonds has Jace and Nissa, Fall has Gideon and Chandra. They might have similar cards to better represent Jace's and Gideon's contributions elsewhere, but I don't see them having even more cards depicting the exact same scene.

The stupidest thing about Hedron Alignment is they tried to protect it with hexproof but it still rolls to Dromoka's Command so your weird FNM brew will never work. The win should have been an activated ability with "reveal your hand" as the cost IMO.
