Zoness posted:Or y'know, her title, where she's the harbinger. That generally implies that she's bringing something else. That... is a good point haha. I just kinda read "Nahiri" and ignored the rest of the name. Either way, if that is the case then it's a neat way of showing that taking place within the mechanics of the game.

So Nahiri is the Silver Surfer to Emrakul's Galactus?

mcmagic posted:I'm not sure how janky this is... I wouldn't be surprised to see someone try to play it. The power is there. Do you really think this presents better value than Goblin Dark-Dwellers though? It basically goes out of its way to not let you abuse Madness with it.

Angry Grimace posted:We already know it is - the map thing they showed with the countdown a week or two ago had the same thing with Nahiri herself blowing it up. I like how the description is a subdued " the manor is darker, more twisted than it should be" instead of the more apt "everything is blown the gently caress apart!"

Fingers McLongDong posted:Nahiri's -8 could be a reference to her bringing Emrakul to Innistrad, which makes sense since that was already the main theory. This was how I envisioned the Eldrazi finding new planes to begin with. Either dumbshit or vengeful planeswalkers summoning them to other planes.

Here let me clarify Nahiri's text: Nahiri, Harbinger of Emrakul 2RW Planeswalker - Nahiri +2: Shuffle Emrakul from your hand into your deck. Draw a card. -2: Annihilate target enchantment, tapped artifact, or tapped creature. -8: Sneak Attack an Emrakul from your library. Put it back into your hand at end of turn. 4

Being sincere and curious, if it 2RG instead of RW, would it be Tron Playable for filtering, removal & sneaking out an Emrakul or Beastie?

No. Tron isn't interested in casting 4 CMC cards at all. If you have 2RG in your Tron game and you can't cast a Ulamog or a Karn you're in big trouble.

80s James Hetfield posted:is mcmagic the pissflaps of this thread? Cards can be good and never see play... I never said otherwise. The rest of the set is important for context but you can still have a general idea if a card is good enough to pass that bar or not. Elyv posted:Why do you think a 5 mana guy that doesn't give you value if you don't untap with it and doesn't protect itself is playable in the slightest? It's clearly not going to be a staple but I could see it having some fringe play. It's effect is very powerful especially with Madness...

Korgo Kult also it's too bad they don't often show planeswalkers dressing up in local attire because lady nahiri of the markov manor would look pretty ill
