I think Samut is kinda bad. I'd rather play Glory Bringer.

Elyv posted: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. I don't care, but you might

clamiam45 posted:This flavor text is saying he knows things that only Kefnet knows? You can parse it as "The initiates believe it possesses secrets, but they're wrong; in reality only Kefnet knows those secrets," which isn't actually a contradiction but is still awkward enough that I chalk it up to Bad Flavor Text Writing rather than any deliberate attempt to say something so convoluted

You can't ever resolve another spell or effect in the middle of resolving a spell or effect. If a spell has you cast another spell, or triggers some other effect, that spell or effect goes on top of the stack, so it will be the first thing to start resolving once you finish resolving the current spell.InterrupterJones posted:You ungrateful bastards crying about the fake 20/20 already forgot that Standard already has a 20/20 Multiple ones, even.

The zombie is great and confirms BW zombies/embalm is an intended draft archetype. Samut I think is just a mess, everything about her seems off. Like an activated ability that isn't for it's mutual enemy color, it's unusually asymmetrical. And whilst green gets vigilance I feel like GR shouldn't. And I get that haste on top of flash has a purpose because of the activated ability but it still seems strange. But yeah, probably not good outside being a limited bomb where the white ability probably won't matter,

I bet 90% of the reason she has that weird activated ability is to give her a white activated ability so she can be full Naya in EDH

Entropic posted:The untap ability on Kefnet seems like a really random addition, and the least useful part of the card. Probably just because of exert. That guy is already keyword soup, so what's a pretty random, mechanically relevant ability on top of all that.

Okay, now that we've seen the entire card, I know why this lady is so angry - She is pissed off that Wizards' approach towards mythic creatures seems to be "just throw keywords on top of it until you fill out the text box."

The only place Shattering Spree sees play is vintage before people realized they should just play Ingot Chewer. This is much better than Shattering Spree in vintage but they should still probably just play all 4 copies of big league chew before this.

Shattering spree is the perfect card to compare it to because decks that use shattering spree are the ones that would consider this.
