Whirler virtuoso owns. You could play it with 0 other energy cards and it'd own. But it provides an energy outlet and generates energy efficiently. Really the theme of Kaladesh seems to be borne out in the cards. You have many options to explore, and all of them are enticing. That is, there is no single right answer.

I think that W enchantment might be a good card for a Junk sideboard in modern to give you enough time to drop Rhinos. Hatebears might even run it as more Thalias.

New thalia isn't really seeing much play, and this definitely isn't better than anything already in hatebears sideboards. I don't think junk cares either, it runs enough removal and chump blockers to generally not care about hasty aggro decks.

This planeswalker is so boring that the thread talked about it for five posts and then just forgot about it. This is also nearly completely flavorless. I don't see how this is the best they could come up with, because this seems like an intro pack planeswalker.

i mean +1 self protect -1 value -7 win the game seems good enough? not much else to say since the modes are pretty unconditional in value.

That card is going to be a pain in the rear end to deal with if it has a place in a deck.

I don't see how this is the best they could come up with, because this seems like an intro pack planeswalker. I think the card is fine, just boring. +1 protect -(n) CA -a lot ult. It's the exact same template as Kiora 1 or Jace AoT. It's probably going to see some Standard play and none in larger formats, what else is there to say.

Zoness posted:i mean +1 self protect -1 value -7 win the game It's fine, but it's the most boring planeswalker, and doesn't actually have anything special about it that makes it specific to the character. This could easily have been a UW Jace.

Zoness posted:i mean +1 self protect -1 value -7 win the game It's a significantly worse, color-locked version of Jace, Architect of Thought in a format in which blue appears to be arguably worse than it was last season and dramatically worse than the seasons in which Jace was legal. If you're playing in W/B, I can't really envision splashing blue to play this card given that WB Control wasn't splashing blue for Jace, Vryn's Prodigy The power level in a vacuum seems reasonable, but not particularly high compared to the other 4-drop Planeswalkers that will be legal.

Feels like one they designed for a commander pre-con that they instead decided to shove in here instead. The utter lack of flavor is just weird.

Beleren only cost 3 and his + being a +2 protected him in a weird way because sometimes your opponent would look at it and go "no gently caress attacking that". If not, it would buy you a lot of time.

If not, it would buy you a lot of time. using the both players draw a card mode felt bad but 5 loyalty on turn 3 is a lot to punch through, yeah.

So can we say that with the spoilers shown, this is the new type of whitewashed MTG planes? They replaced whatever not-Indian creatures with elves and dwarves and added the steampunk. We used to laugh about how a revisited Kamigawa would be nothing but samurai, ninjas, and catgirls. I don't think I've seen a single Rakshasa when there were some in Tarkir.
