Goes straight into Sisay EDH, I would imagine. Oh, and maybe some kind of constructed deck that can use it, I guess.

GeneX posted:I will forgive this almost certain development fuckup if it results in a horror tribal deck Esper horrors would be a nice deck name, especially going into Kaladesh. Kind of seems phyrexian. EDIT: ^^ That's not really cheesecake, especially not compared to the previously revealed version. She kind of looks like Cirri from the Witcher series.

Make this cool card. Archery Phalanx, 3G 0/4 Tap, deal 6 damage to creature with flying edit: gently caress it, give it reach too

Escalate is... fine. It's a serviceable Kicker variant and those almost always play really well for limited and make the game fun but never have good flavor and aren't terribly exciting. Which is fine. I like Emerge a lot, but mostly because I'm hoping there will be a draftable Emerge deck like there was a UB exploit deck in Dragons, since that was the funnest deck in the format. We better get some common 2-drops that do good stuff when they die. Meld seems like a terrible gimmick, but as long as there's only the few cards and he rest of the DFCs are "normal", I'm fine with it. This is one case where for once I'm glad they showed some restraint.

I'm hoping for an Eldrazi with Emerge that looks like an Alien from, well, Alien. It'd be the best reference. Maybe have an ETB trigger that is better if it the sac'd creature was Human. Edit: Did we ever talk about the cool-rear end double sided foil zombie token we're getting in the prerelease packs?

Irony Be My Shield posted:Gilt-Leaf Winnower is very marginally playable. Although the actual best way would be to hold up removal on their turn so they can't make it in the first place. Sure if you want to get blown out when they flash Avacyn in and flip their stupid angels anyway. Skyl3lazer posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/TabakRules/status/747448917923508224 Agreed. Remember when they changed the CMC of the back of the card to simplify something that wasn't difficult or complicated? And now it is very difficult and complicated.

Maybe mechanics like yugioh ones show up because yugioh has some good ideas? Like I know it's one of the thread punching bags but it's not like it's completely devoid of fun stuff

Last time I followed the game competitive Yugioh had a bunch of very powerful cards that were restricted to 1 per deck and you really wanted to have on the first turn, so it was an open secret that the "pros" were all just the players who were best at stacking their decks. Also there was always a very powerful card that cost $300. Lottery of Babylon fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jun 27, 2016 |

Meld is sweet. Taking up only six DFCs for the entire implementation of it is also good because it lets them do a neat gimmick that will get people talking and minimizes the opportunity cost of it being basically unplayable, or at least extremely borderline, in both limited and constructed. A 4cmc flying first striking lifelinker is fuckin bonkers though. Hopefully we get a Lightning Strike or a Disintegrate in this set, it's about time for that card to come back.
