This looks like one of those giant cards they have on easels at cons and stuff.

Or is the background just making the perspective weird?

It's another one of those cards that isn't nearly good enough to fight the Eldrazi decks that people are playing because it's one of the best possible options available to fight the Eldrazi decks.

Also, Goon League VI is over and DAD LOST MY IPOD is the winner with Joblins! He won like, a pack of one of the Master Editions sets and a play set of Mulldrifters! Everyone congratulate him then join Goon League VII: Dirge of Faeries: a MTGO only tournament!

Y'all should join this. MTGO is poo poo but Pauper is really good and I have plenty more MED packs to give to the winners after I lose to my good matchups and beat my bad matchups somehow.

I don't think it's really going to be "bad guys saving the world". I think it's going to be "Angels are going around killing everyone, bad guys are using the opportunity to rise again, good guys have to fight off both."

Maybe Nahari hosed with Avacyn's programming somehow? (blah blah blah implanted Hedrons) Or the whole Nahari is Avacyn theory that keeps getting floated around is true, (Nahari should be dead post mending no? I mean Lilly had to do some questionable things to survive, so there has to be some form of explanation on how Nahari is still doing her thing) and she is commanding her Angel minions to gently caress up the place?

I don't think that a 5 mana sac outlet is what that deck needs to survive rotation.

Fleshbag is a one-shot. You need a 0-mana, repeatable sac outlet for the deck to function.

The Sac outlet is still there. It's losing part of its card advantage engine with Haruspex and, most importantly, the inevitable game-ending bomb in Rally.

ub aristocrats isn't the deck playing rally the ancestors. though it probably shouldn't need to be explained, the deck people refer to as rally (or 4c rally) is the one losing half its mana base in the rotation of fetchlands.

Irony Be My Shield
Jul 29, 2012

Yawgmoth was talking about 'an aristocrats deck', which usually doesn't mean rally. Indeed we can infer it's not Rally because he suggested it could survive rotation. I suspect there will still be a Nantuko Husk/Zulaport Cutthroat deck after rotation.

There's basically no way 4c decks will be playable post rotation. Even 3 color gets a lot harder.
