That's a cool red card that I want to play in RDW.

Isn't this the first Red Horror we've seen too?

Why is saviors of kamigawa a "notorious" set?

here's a post I wrote about Masques block a while back

Elyv posted:

I maintain that Masques itself(and, to a lesser extent, Nemesis) are serviceable, albeit not great sets that get an overly bad rap for a few reasons:
1) They're between the much more powerful Urza's block and what was for a quite a while the pinnacle of Magic design in Invasion block.
2) They're associated with Prophecy, a complete garbage fire of a set whose only redeeming factors are one cool rare cycle and two rare cycles that have some cool ideas but not always executed correctly. The mechanics are miserable to play with, the cards are bad and uninspired and flavorless, it's just an awful set that has to be bottom 5 all time.

this post basically holds for Saviors as well if you replace {Masques, Nemesis, Urza's, Invasion} with {Champions, Betrayers, Mirrodin, Ravnica}. It's kind of sad, really.

Epic is a really goddamn cool mechanic, even if it plays very badly (except for enduring ideal).

it's the doomsday of mechanics, if doomsday was trash powerlevelwise and not the best card ever printed

Wonder what we're gonna get for graveyard hate in this set. There's looking to be a whole lotta recursion going on, and the last standard wasn't exactly hands-off with its graveyard either.

We're probably going to get more shuffle effects than exile effects, given how the latter interacts with processors.

MaRo has said that Saviors is one of the worst-designed sets of all time, alongside Homelands and Fallen Empires. I think he's right.

Rinkles posted:

Ichorid, Narcomoeba, Nether Shadow, and Bloodghast are all the various dredge cards for legacy and modern that would trigger this. I feel like there's a modern deck that would maybe use this but it doesn't really fit into the legacy dredge decks because all the slots are doing better things than getting a 3/3 that needs another creature to trigger it.

I think his biggest problem for Legacy is he doesn't really feed Dread Return and Cabal Therapy.

Yeah, eot 3/3s is sort of pointless for dredge. The lists are flexible but even then the slots would be better spent on pretty much anything else.

Pretty sure that most "comes back into play for free" cards are playable... Depends how good the zombies deck is though. I'm messing around with this retarded Modern Rally deck for post Eldrazi winter and that might even want this too.

This is why you should be drafting RRR while it's here, by the way. RRG is good but not as good, and RGD is good but not as good as either of those.

Things I learned about triple rav from those drafts: Play 3 color or 4 with a splash or two because signets and bounce lands are gross. Flame Fusillade is disgusting. Vedalken Dismisser is disgusting. Mark of Eviction combos with a ton of poo poo.

A guy at my old LGS was running UB Zombies and having a pretty good time of it, that deck might want this but it's not a slam dunk. I have a list at home, if this post isn't buried by spoiler chat when I get home from work I'll try to remember to post it.

That Esper Rally deck that Pascal Maynard had video of? I really want to build since I already have the mana base but the pair of Jaces is a tough sell for my bank account. Might proxy it up with regular Merfolk Looters to see how I like it.
