There are no green or white ones, madness is just in URB.

Avacyn's Judgment is a member of a three-card cycle of rares in Shadows over Innistrad. (They appear in the madness colors: red, blue, and black.) The way these all work is they do a cool thing at a locked-in number for their mana cost. But if you manage to discard one, you can turn it into an X spell!

e: What's the blue one, anyway?

Do you feel the same way?

Does that also mean no g/w madness in general?

Zombie card is nice, I'm thinking about BW tokens in the new standard right now, especially if there's a good enabler to fire this at instant speed.

I don't think there are enough. Especially with no Raise the Alarm or anything good other than Secure the Wastes. You're also losing the KTK Sorin which is great in that shell.

I like that two of the main mechanical themes, madness and investigate, are spread across wedges and not just a guild. That should
make drafting a bit more interesting.

I think Madness is your creatures/cards being crazy, while Delirium represents the player losing their mind.

That's really unexciting un-mythic-feeling green mythic there. It looks like a card that got nerfed in development somehow at the last minute.

Technically, I think delirium is more like disorder and confusion. "Madness" could include coherent-seeming thoughts that just happen to have no connection to reality.

Mind you, I don't think they actually made any attempt to play up the distinction, but it'd be cool if they had.

If you discard a Madness Sorcery card at instant speed, can you cast it at instant speed for it's Madness cost?

All madness cards can be cast when they're discarded - creatures, sorcery, whatever.

You actually can't cast sorceries off madness at all. The madness keyword is just there for decoration.

Yes. Just like suspend, you are casting it through an action of an ability, so normal timing restrictions do not apply.

Right? That last ability had to have started as something else. A one-shot ramp effect is incredibly underwhelming on a 6-drop.

Arbor Colossus feels 10x more mythic in comparison (and it's rare) as a green 6-drop with Reach (of all the boring abilities they could have picked).
