In my interpretation of the color pie, this spell is fine, even without the precedent of gavel or similar, because counterspells are essentially secondary in red. I'd find an analogous 1UW counterspell much weirder.

Holy crap this is a great Karn check. Also it’s a little funny to me this does a better job checking a lot of legendary things than the white card they spoiled specifically to check legendary things

If I had to choose a name for a card that could blow up anything but lands, it wouldn't be Cratermaker.

So the article says that they doubled the number of gates in order to increase their asfan to 1.5. It is still unclear if they are using the land slot or if there are even basic lands in the boosters.

It's possible they take the land slot and also appear as commons but you'd think they'd bother to tell us that??

smertrioslol posted:I like this card a lot. Probably better than glimmer. It's really not. Scry 2 is a lot, and can basically serve as a Draw 4 sometimes when you throw two cards that weren't what you needed to the bottom. Forget if your deck actually cared about the energy. Glimmer was steal as an instant at 4 but that was almost entirely because the scry AND the energy was worth the extra mana. The ability to pay it's cost a second time and pitch a card to pull two more cards makes me hesitate a lot harder and this will probably see much less play and only if there isn't better options at instant. Which, I mean, there currently isn't (at least not Draw 2- I'm not sold this is actually better then Anticipate or Opt unless your deck only really cares about volume of cards actually drawn) but I expect to see Chemister's obsoleted before it rotates.

If it wasn't going to rotate I'd still take Glimmer for the scry, but being able to turn a late land draw into an instant speed draw-2 seems good, to me. I see it slotting right in as a control deck workhorse staple.

Jump-Start Inspiration is totally fine if the format is slow and grindy, but could be too slow if the format remains fast. If you're taking turn 4 off to cast Glimmer you're at least digging four cards deep for the right answer to what your opponent presents on that turn, but without the selection you're much more likely to miss on that, have to use inefficient answers, and then you're behind the 8-ball. Alternatively you answer the board instead of casting this, and then it's clogging up your hand until you find a spot where you do have four extra mana to spend. It'll still see play, because you want the card advantage in the grindy matchups, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up just being a 2-of.
