Cool common, but kindof weird flavor given it's an eldrazi enabler. Maybe the dark time is the death of the titans

I'm chiming in late but that story is loving garbage. Jace has magical know stuff and completely ignores Ugin to win. Chandra can burninate Titans and ob and Kiora are nowhere?

I hope they are using this as a set up for the power rangers thought they were so smart blowing up the Titans but now they are free to roam.

Also how did Emrakul leave the plane? Wasn't he bound like the other two?

This set is all kinds of stupid narrative wise.

Edit: also emrakul on innistrad would be dumb as hell. Wtf are werewolves going to do against eldrazi?

Kiora died, Ob got his spark killed some dudes and left zendikar because he hates it.

Aligned exodia network is Nagles misshapen creation, should have guessed. What an awful card to open, it's like dude saw the flaws in highly synergistic sets in relation to sealed games and decided to double down and make a card that nobody is happy to see ever short of cracking packs in an oxygen deprived environment.

Ken nagle is going to be Maros kylo ren, complete with rest in peace temper tantrums until we never see dredge on coverage again.

Emeria does have angels :tinfoil:

e: Hedron Alignment does have a fairly powerful and unique effect beyond the alt-win, unlike most alt-win cards. I can imagine playing it in some very slow deck.

Barring emergency bannings it's usually the Monday following prerelease. This is also when other policy updates tend to push through. This leads to some interesting things such as the expeditions not being strictly playable during BFZ prerelease.

Perhaps they were too focused on making the second set relevant (i.e. not a repeat of BNG). That and maybe because the draft format is OGW-OGW-BFZ

I'm worried there's going to be no awaken cards in OGW, because a lot of the land creatures matter cards are really cool.

I think Seer's Lantern could be a pretty sweet card for control decks in constructed too. Of course there is the rather glaring weakness to Kolaghan's Command.

mcmagic posted:

It's probably the C mechanic. Costing C is a huge drawback in limited, so all the cards have to be super pushed. In constructed you can just throw in some painlands.

e: that said IDK if it's enough to challenge the insanity of a super mana powered wedge block

We've seen only about 10 commons total, and half of those have been colorless lands and artifacts and such. We know basically nothing about how draft will actually shake out yet.

I don't know how you can really judge limited yet considering we've seen all of 5 commons that aren't mana producers.

drat. I've been thinking about making BW Eldrazi, but looking in my Modern Masters 2015 card box I never got an Eye of Ugin and only have 2 Eldrazi Temples (1 one from the duel deck.) I hoped I would have to spend money to make this deck...

Apparently we're getting Devoid Dissipate? Pretty okay, probably, though I don't think there's any colourless matters payoff for control (not that there's much blue matters payoff for control at the moment).

With vigilance, though. It beat down for 3 while holding off the various 2/3s and spawn.

Eh, it's no somber hoverguard in pauper and I don't even know if affinity still plays that.

I guess it's easy to surge with spire golem but like, spire golem is also sort of competition for the slot.

Competence on the battlefield is a myth. The side which screws up next to last wins, it's as simple as that.

I like both of these. Relief Cap is playable even if you're only getting one counter. You're rarely going to get all three and people will underrate it because of that.
