A limited monster to be sure, I think in constructed there are enough things you can throw at it like a shot from a Ballista that it won't be insane. Getting it twice is good though.

This is a lot better than Jetting Glasskite, that's for sure. I think it's got a shot at standard play since it's hard to kill and then you have to kill it twice.

While the cycling is interesting I think we could have just gotten anger of the gods back and been better off.

New Lili's preordering for 18 from CFB, there's no way that sticks after the set releases, is there? Or will she just go into every black deck, whether or not it's zombies?

The set can only hold so much value. As of right now nissa and gids are holding the top spots. As good as she is sometimes I wonder if OB just fits in more decks at 5 cmc. She also isn't a 4 of walker so she will be cheaper.

You have to build your deck around Liliana whereas you can just jam Ob Nix as a one of in stuff but in the decks that she's good in, I think Liliana is MUCH more powerful.

Story summary: Nissa and Chandra go on a stroll. On that walk, they talk to the Vizier of Poisons, who actually seems like a pretty chill lady. Also Nissa has a chat with the plane and figures out that Nicol Bolas didn't actually make the plane, he corrupted a few decades back and corrupted the all the things. Also the plane used to have 8 gods and now has 5 and the 5 remaining have lost their memories.

Also there's an incredibly awkward romantic passage between Nissa and Chandra that ends with Nissa friendzoning Chandra

patriarchy sucks
The untap ability on Kefnet seems like a really random addition, and the least useful part of the card.

What's with all the life-drain effects now saying "each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life" instead of "and you gain life equal to the life lost this way"? Are they really afraid of breaking stuff in casual formats?

I have a rules question, as a friend and I brought the Nissa vs Ob Nixilis duel decks. He's new, and I'm getting back into the game after a long time. I play Crop Rotation and pull out one of the lands with an "enters the battlefield" trigger, like Fertile Thicket. Do I resolve the "enters the battlefield" effect first, or do I finish resolving Crop Rotation and shuffle my library before resolving Fertile Thicket's effect?

The trigger sits on the stack until you're done doing Crop Rotation stuff.
