They're on Innistrad.

Elspeth's still in Greek Hell, and I assume Ajani's still moping about there. Kiora is on Zendikar unless she went to a different plane for more octopi buddies, and Ugin is wiping his brow and saying "whew" w/r/t Eldrazi. Didn't Bobby Nixon retreat somewhere after Chandra set him on fire? Narset and Sarkahn are looking at dragons on Tarkir and saying "wow that's a cool dragon" every now and then. Koth is still smacking Phyrexians with rocks and Karn is smacking Phyrexians into oblivion until he restarts the game with those Phyrexians on his side. Tibalt and Ashiok are AWOL, and Nicol Bolas and Tezzeret somewhere scheme-ish. Daretti is probably on Fiora and Duck Faygo is in whatever summer supplemental expansion is coming out. Domri and Ral and Vraska are on Ravnica unless they're not, and Garruk is in DoTP '14.

Everyone else is dead or can't actually planeswalk anymore.

There's nothing that grinds my gears like when marketing departments insist on video content over written content, even when written content makes way more sense. Like, does anyone have an interest in a 20 minute video of a bunch of chucklefucks making lame as poo poo jokes and talking about a bunch of poo poo that isn't "card and what card does?"

Seems pretty good, and I really like that the + ensures you'll at least get a card out of it if they kill it with somethin beefy enough to do so.

E: to be sure, it means up to two cards a turn and even if something like a 1/5 deals damage via blocks you get a card?

Also, you can put it on the only creature they can attack with and your chump blocker to draw two instead.

I'm mostly disappointed that she forgot how to tap lands. Otherwise cool card, but I was hoping she would stick mono-blue.

That -2 seems more powerful than it initially looks too.

Maybe some kind of Bant Humans after Collected Company rotates? As is, you probably wouldn't play it in the CoCo version of the deck.

I think they were trying to make GW/Bant better over the course of two years and completely forgot there were a bunch of <4 creatures and a card called CoCo

As the mothership article suggests, probably Bant Company, or any deck that wants to out flood there opponent with a constant stream of permanents. She is a very powerful card, however her cost is quite restrictive.

Choose two of your dudes with vigilance, and they can draw you cards for both attacking and blocking.

Actual answer why she is green: she's very much about just leaving poo poo alone and basically didn't even want to gently caress with the Eldrazi until Jace kind of forced her into action. She mostly just wanted to investigate it and that's it; her position was like "well if they gently caress Innistrad's poo poo up, that's life."


There's only two ways mcmagic evaluates cards: "very bad" or "format staple."

I have no idea what kind of deck she fits in and her payoff doesn't appear high at all. If you are playing her on 4 and then -2 and then untapping with her and getting in and drawing some cards I guess that is fine but it just seems very dependent on board state and unreliable.
