Jenx posted:I am absolutely loving the fact that this guy just keeps going! This newest "last form" of his seems pretty drat strong, if a bit slow due to his 5 CMC. He's already a 5/4 with evasion. That he makes dudes whenever you Unsubstantiate something is icing on the cake. He doesn't even need his flip to be not bad.

Now I want to see what the Mythic Rare 6/5 Eldrazi Insect transforms into in their next set.

Irony Be My Shield posted:You can proc this by Emerging a Wretched Gryff for U right? Kindof hope that's a deck somehow (with more appropriate Emerge enablers). Yes you can. The CMC of a card is always the total of the mana symbols in the upper right hand corner no matter how much you pay for it.

Are there currently any wizard types in standard (I would assume so) or maybe in EM there will be some wizards so you don't have to cast him followed by casting instants to put wizards into play.

Reflector Mage is a Wizard, is the main one. So is flip Jace. If you try to go a Prowess-y angle there's also Jori En, Stormchaser Mage, and Sanguinary Mage. And in black Asylum Vistor is at least theoretically playable.

Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and Reflector Mage are the two big ones, and to make it even better both of them can be Collected Company'd out. Collected Company is an instant and so you'd get a 1/1 wizard from THAT.

Insect guy is definitely constructed playable as a finisher in a control deck or even just the high curve in some blue beatdown deck.

If Bruna and Gisela are right next to each other on the sheet, then does that say something about how likely you are to see both in a box?

That card draw engine makes sense if you consider that emerge is likely replacing investigate as the UG archetype for EDM limited.

Probably not, and I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't actually next to each other on the sheet (as opposed to the unhinged), seeing as how they have different rarities. Fun fact: Splinter Twin is twice as common as any other rare from RoE, because it's on the sheet twice

Elyv posted:Ah yes, the 5 drop that doesn't provide instant value or protect itself, the old Constructed staple. Yeah man a card that can instantly drop 1/1s in a format run rampant with 3 color good stuff decks, and endless removal has no constructed playability. He is a faster clock than Dragonlord sulimgar. You can arguably cast a spell when you play him to make a 1/1. Don't act like a 5 power flyer for 5 in this format is bad, especially one that can also guck up the board. Edit: you also don't have to play him turn 5, you can leave protection up, and get a 1/1 out of it. Maybe drowner of hope is strictly better, I dunno.

Reflector Mage is also in the colors of the flicker spells like Essence Flux, Eerie Interlude and Long Road Home, meaning you can bounce him repeatedly while making new Wizards.

If this is the best thing we have as a control deck finisher, control decks aren't going to be very good. I mean, Chandra is still in the format for another year too. I doubt this is even a better mono U finisher than something like Rise from the Tides.

They'd be on the same sheet. There'd just be one more of the rare. If they're not next to each other, then they'd have to be next to a filler card or maybe the edge of the sheet.

A 5 power flier is never bad, but history has shown that 5 mana is simply too much for a creature without providing instant value or having some sort of protection. Baneslayer Angel is the last card that fit those parameters and saw constructed play that I can remember, and this card doesn't have the "aggro has to answer it or lose immediately" that BSA had. Also, this might be one of the worst formats for a 5/4 flier, since it has the potential to get blown the gently caress out by Avacyn and is blanked by Gisela.

Yeah, white is broken this season, and now has two amazing fliers, but at least blue has ways to counter or bounce angels out of the way. I think people would be looking differently at this card if Wizards didn't royally gently caress up with white. I don't think it is the worst card in a midrange deck like grixis, but maybe their 5 mana creature slot is already taken by Goblin Dark-dwellers

Galvanic Bombardment is probably playable right? Fiery Impulse saw play and this gets better as you go. Also, Terese Nielsen doing art in a regular expansion again, although Innistrad is the randomest fit for Terese Nielsen.
