I actually really like the more frequent WOTC bannings because it gets the mtgfinanciers scrambling. New Ulyanov already down to $6

So G/B has got to be the best deck now right? It has a good matchup up against vehicles, but first Cat combo was keeping it in check and then to a lesser extent Marvel. Temur Energy is still a great deck; it has the perfect balance of efficient creatures and ways to deal with walkers / control.

odiv posted:Wild guess, but embalm without the exile? Could be balanced if done right. For five mana, you get a 1/1 double striker, from an ability, from card in the graveyard? That's probably not what it is because that's not balanced.

uninverted posted:They print an insane card for GWx company decks literally every set now. I mean, but that is absurdly easy to do. Print a 187 creature with cmc ≤ 3. If this is a good creature it could have a home in GW company, even if the card isn't G/W. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a 187 as Vizier has shown. So....print a creature with a good ability with cmc ≤ 3. I'd be more surprised if we DONT see something like that.

Upgrading Lightning Strike with Smelt seems really sweet. Certainly strong in an environment with Heart of Kiran and Gearhulks.

Crucible Man looks spicy as hell, and I'm gonna need to get me one of those. Abrade is...strange. Obviously allowing it to deal damage to players as well might have been too much...I guess you just play it in a red-based control deck or something?

A creature that when it enters the battlefield, it destroys another creature. Nekrataal was given that nickname in 1997 because 187 is the penal code number for homicide.

Eternalize is probably the same thing as Bestow but it's from the graveyard instead of your hand and the creature gets exiled once it's unattached.

I doubt it's a one-time anything considering the name is "eternalize," but I guess anything's possible.

I mean, I don't want to speculate too much, but the card isn't terribly above rate and the Eternalize cost is quite high, so I assume it's something better than just embalm.
