evilweasel posted:It only counters abilities if you cycle, not if you play the card. The card is basically a split card where it's 2U: counter target activated or triggered ability, draw a card // 2U: 3/1 flier you can flash out. It's probably a fringe SB card like Hushwing Gryff was. the Orb of Zot posted:I don't see this seeing standard play; Griselbrand was unfathomably stronger and still only was playable in Standard due to the presence of an incredible reanimation spell, and the cost for the tutor means you aren't even drawing cards off of it. Even if you could cheat it out with Marvel it would probably still not be played in standard.

This set is too much. I now also want to build The Scarab God. That's a mill deck for sure.

mcmagic posted:It's probably a fringe SB card like Hushwing Gryff was. I mean they printed this and disallow to have more ways to interact with Marvel/energy, which seems flawed anyway since blue was the one color that was able to keep Marvel from landing. Oh and its banned. Its a weird card because the type of deck willing to hold up the mana to stifle probably wants disallow more than a 3/1 flash, but I guess that could change.

Yeah, my bad, I read that as an etb not at part of cycling. It's definitely way less of splashy then.

TheMaestroso posted:Are ETBs triggered effects? If so, there's some cool stuff you can do with that. Like stop a Snapcaster/Gearhulk trigger, for instance. Yup, that works. I feel like 3 mana is too much for this to be useful in Modern, though (and I don't think the split card of being a 3/1 flash flyer for 3 is enough for it to see play). It kind of occupies the same space as Vendilion Clique, as a medium costed mild disruption/flying clock, but it can't do both at the same time, and just seems worse overall.

All I know is that I hate him, for reasons I can't quite define. It's official, the only one of Liliana's demon masters to be any kind of cool was Griselbrand, and that's probably because he never once spoke.

So is U/R Emerge more favored now that Marvel is gone. It seems pretty good against G/B and Mardu, but Temur Energy negating a cathartic reunion seems brutal.

I guess I wasted some money on picking up some uncommons for it. I kind of bought some remaining peaces, because I figured Prized Amalgams and Kozilek's Returns were cheap now and used in Modern, so it isn't a total wash.

The deck is still played by fukkking nobody so don't expect a lot of graveyard hate. Unless the deck gains wildly in popularity you'll probably be fine. I also built Jund gods for super cheap as a backup. Get on these, that is my advice. Edit: in emerge, every card That's not fevered visions or a common/uncommon is played in other formats, so don't worry about it.

I was told today that someone who went to GP Las Vegas bought a sealed booster box of Beta for something like $44,000 and one of the few known sealed copies of an Alpha starter deck and their seals were broken by TSA at the airport.
