https://twitter.com/wizards_magic/status/706119335220269056 My guess based on the flavor text would be that the number corresponds to a cipher or something on another card representing "Avacyn's madness".

If you divide the numbers by 26 and convert the remainders to letters by A=1, B=2, etc then it spells RYOTSAQRJYY.

Also since they mentioned the pre-release specifically we just may not have sufficient info.

This confirms a second checklist card I guess, if the other flip cards hadn't already.

She probably didn't need flash, that seems a bit gratuitous E: there's a very nasty Wu tempo/bounce deck appearing, I think, Avacyn seems like a great big finisher for a deck with, say, Gideon, reflector mage, Flicker Eldrazi, roil spout maybe Jen X fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Mar 6, 2016 |

Similar to Serra Angel; is there a comparable 6/5 red flyer with that ability?

If there is a standard-relevant sacrifice outlet that is white or can be paired with white, this card will be insane.

BizarroAzrael posted:Maybe a cycle of legendary/walker flip cards? Flicker her on the upkeep with the triggered damage ability on the stack. Her non-flip citp ability stacks on top, resolves first, displacer lives regardless. Problem is you're paying 3 mana on your upkeep. e: Actually, it's "the" next upkeep.

Yeah, U/W flicker seems like it would be pretty good after this. edit: oh man, and run the new Linvala in this deck for aggro match ups too.

TheKingofSprings posted:Avacyn seems really close to Modern playable, I won't be surprised if she shows up at some point I'm wondering what deck she'd work in though. Her flip ability almost feels like a downside in the shells she'd otherwise go in- it would kill all your hierarchs and birds, your lingering souls tokens, basically any g/w creatures except Loxodon smiter or finks I guess.

Better Serra Angel is one thing, but I imagine literally Serra Angel plus a bunch of new rules words and a whole other card on the back would bring a lot more "wait what"

A player from 1993 wouldn't know Avacyn is strictly better than Serra Angel because vigilance wasn't keyworded back then.

Something I noticed. The Clerics before they flip into the Inquisitors die to Avacyn's flip effect If they're flipped into Inquistors at the time though, they survive. The Church of Avacyn has no time for peace and care, only genocide of anyone not pure enough. Considering Avacyn's flip side is Red though (i.e. it's not even the extreme end of white anymore, it's just pure destruction of everything around her), that may well be "anyone that isn't Avacyn" at this point.

There've been a lot of really sweet flavor victories here but Avacyn and Geralf's Masterpiece both feel like they fall way short of "Great and Terrible" imo. Avacyn is strong as gently caress and Masterpiece is.... well, big. But neither of the make me think like "oh poo poo, the people of Innistrad are hosed" flavor-wise.

I love how they took the complaints that the huge story character Avacyn was unplayable garbage last time and decided to make the new one incredible.

Whereas dead guy Griselbrand is arguably the only creature that's better to have in play than Emrakul, and his stitched corpse looks like it will barely make Standard play.
