Nice little touch in the story that's pure Bolas where he set it up so that when a God is dying they suddenly regain all their memories so they realized what happened just before they die. Because, you know, its not good enough for Bolas to win and get his undead army of super zombies, he also needs them to know he won.

A big flaming stink posted:I mean I love land destruction but an instant speed Rain of Tears with upside is probably too powerful (unless you rate land destruction by Sinkhole and Strip Mine) By modern WOTC standards, if a card that can destroy lands is playable at all in any format (and kitchen table magic for that matter), it's too powerful to be printed in a standard playable set. Maybe they're playable in limited as sideboard fodder at the most, but most of them are just last pick throw it in the trash garbage. I honestly wonder why they even bother printing LD spells anymore. Just phase it out completely so you stop wasting the card slots on stuff no one wants to see, put out an official statement that they don't want to keep printing it if they're going to neuter it so hard anyways, and move on.

Collective brutality is so much more than discard that it doesn't seem fair to compare it. All 3 modes are relevant and is super flexible. Cryptic command is more than a counterspell. Despite it being an amazing card it still doesn't take the place of crap cards like transgress in a lot of decks.

It's not a powerful card exactly, it just slots really nicely into modern (especially sideboards). It's a slam dunk in a few matchups (burn and formerly infect) and it's better than your worst card in a lot of others. It's basically only Tron variants that run neither small creatures nor spells, whereas in standard it barely kills anything and going for the discard is a crapshoot. uninverted fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jun 22, 2017 |

Bolas reprogrammed a whole plane to have an entire culture built around death rituals so that he can make super zombies or something. The super sentai good guy planes walker group shows up to stop him and gets owned.

Todd Stevens is playing a sweet looking Mono Red Eldrazi deck submitted by one of his viewers right now. 4 Aether Hub 2 Crumbling Vestige 4 Hanweir Battlements 15 Mountain 2 Magma Spray 4 Incendiary Flow 4 Harnessed Lightning 1 Collective Defiance 1 Sweltering Suns 4 Matter Reshaper 4 Hanweir Garrison 4 TKS 4 Chandra Torch of Defiance 4 Glotybringer 3 Reality Smasher Sideboard: 2 Magma Spray 2 Dragonmaster Outcast 3 Hope of Ghirapur 1 Warping Wail 1 Eldrazi Obligator 1 Mirrorwing Dragon 2 By Force 1 Sweltering Suns 1 Chandra, Flamecaller 1 Skysovereign, Consul Flagship It looks cool to me, someone with no interest or ability to play standard. Also, the Eldrazi package is absurdly powerful and WOTC is dumb for making the package powerful enough to be played in every format.

You untap with that and it is significant gas, in a zombie deck it seems great but even in a vacuum the card is solid. Reminds me a lot of Havengul Lich, actually.

Obviously it'd be better if you also got removal for noncreature permanents, but that's basically the only thing you can't do and U has enough powerful bounce effects that to fake removal when you really need it.

It's a little disappointing that the Scarab god doesn't interact with the Locust and the Scorpion like they do with each other. Well, it kinda works with them. Not super-amazing, but the Scorpion can kill things while the Scarab brings them back, and the Locust can loot into what the Scarab scries (scrys?) into.
