Kinda wonder if this infusion of colorless lands will give Reality Smasher, Thought-Knot Seer, and friends will another chance at life in Standard.

Yeah, I like it. Reminds me of Ichor Slick and Viscera Dragger.

So is that Sphinx enchantment a good sideboard card for Living End? It'll need some adjustments to the mana base between that and white for Wear/Tear but it seems like it could be a good out to something like RiP.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

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

Flash is interesting though. It's filthy with the Green God.

The problem being why would you play it over Verdurous Gearhulk.

If there was some kind of cycling besides regular cycling in the set they'd probably have spoiled it by now. It does seem like the kind of elaboration-on-cycling they might do in a second set, though.

Amonkhet was speaking. It had more to say. The entire Gatewatch could tell that Amonkhet itself wanted to aid them in their quest to stop the God-Pharaoh's fateful hour of destruction, but they could not hear the plane. That task fell to Nissa, the the fearless plot device of the crew.

At last the forest mage awoke from her trance. "Gideon, our path is clear. Amonkhet has divined to me the secret to its salvation."

"Anything, m'lady."

I am surprised we haven't gotten a (more) beefcake shirtless Gideon. Such as some limited card mid-battle after his armor has been destroyed or ripped off or some such. Unless this card does already exist and I'm forgetting about it.

From what we have seen, none of the aftermath cards are really that good. Dusk/Dawn may be some sideboard tech, and the new Ruinous path will see play, but everything else is very meh.

There ain't no Linger Souls yet; that is a card you often don't mind discarding because the flashback effect is so efficient (a card as straight up powerful as L Souls is, of course, unlikely).

Honestly yes. If you're in R/x aggro and topdecking a 4/3 for 2 you're in a lot of trouble. Alternatively, playing a 4/3 on turn 2 that lets you fiery temper or (insert other 2 or less madness spell here) on your next upkeep is right where you want to be.

Of course, this only refers to constructed. In this limited the echo would be horrible. But it's merely speculation, as I doubt we're ever going to see Echo again.

That said, I still love this card. It's the pseudo 3 drop that R/x aggro has wanted paired with Fiery Temper, with the option to throw it down turn 2 with value from Embalm or get rid of an unwanted card.
