 That's cool that they're taking card names from RoboRosewater now.

Jabor posted:Going back to mindcensor for a bit, remember that this set was originally planned to not be in the same standard as BFZ. So it's totally possible that it originally had fetchlands and mindcensor was supposed to be a foil to those. If we go by Rosewater's word -- iirc -- when the MM17 fetches were shown he denied they were ever planned for AKH.

My guess is that Renewed Faith is uncommon because of the trigger on being cycled and that all the commons are just vanilla cycling cards with no trigger.

They may have just wanted to do other things with the white common slot. A lot of the lower rarity stuff is just adjustments for limited.

Entropic posted:lol that Renewed Faith is an uncommon. Looks completely unplayable unless there's some real good build-arounds that care about cycling. (fingers crossed that there are) Renewed Faith was playable last time it was in Standard, even in non-Slide/Rift decks.

Without build arounds it's an instant speed Implement of Improvement that cannot be split across turns. Again, way too early to figure out where it goes. I wouldn't be eager to draft it but I wouldn't begrudge it as a 23rd card.

People think that if it's a card with anything Egyptian on it, it's a riff on YuGiOh. The illustration could have a character that looks exactly like Charlton Heston and people will think it's a YuGiOh ripoff.

Yeah, it's not like Google image search for any of the invocations returns Yu-Gi-Oh cards. That'd be ridiculous.

Most famous scene in Planet of the Apes is deserty and has Ozymandias vibes. Huh Charlton Heston IS a yugioh ripoff.

Not that most people would recognize a picture of him because he's dead and irrelevant. But like I said, if it's a trading card and there's anything Egyptian on it, people make cracks about if being a YuGiOh card and jokes almost as old as Heston continue to live on.

Or its mana cost. Everything I use to shortcut identifying a card is illegible on the invocations.

DangerDongs posted:I think I finally cracked Abzan in Standard by combining G/W tokens and Snake. Turn 3 Gideons are pretty mean. My only complaint is lack of removal for Planeswalkers. The Delirium theme is kind of weak, but the deck hits it a lot if the game goes long; fortunately the only pay off is the traverses, and postboard Ishkanah. Saw this earlier today and took a crack at Abzan, and here's what I came up with for an Aggro list: 4 Thraben Inspector 4 Winding Constrictor 4 Servant of the Conduit 3 Solemn Recruit 4 Tireless Tracker 3 Verdurous Gearhulk 3 Walking Ballista 4 Attune with Aether 4 Fatal Push 3 Gideon 4 Concealed Courtyard 4 Blooming Marsh 4 Aether Hub 6 Plains 5 Forest 1 Swamp I'd run a 4th Gideon if I had a 4th. For a SB I could see Ruinous Path, To the Slaughter, Fragmentize. I hosed with Solemn Recruit in a WB list last week and found it to be Good, and with the synergy of SR + snake + clues, could see it popping off and taking over a board before Ballista or Gearhulk show up.
