This card is going to be ridonco in any decent adventure deck. Oh lord...this is just waiting to get broken.

Teferi exists, you can do this at instant speed and then you can bounce the Fairy with Tef to do the whole thing all over again ignoring the insane value already present on both halves

I'm not denying that the effect is useful, I'm just saying I played against decks where people were recurring Mastermind's Acquisition with Tamiyo in this Standard and those decks were doing some crazy poo poo but ultimately weren't good enough to have any real effect on the format.

So like, Mastermind's Acquisition was already technically playable in best-of-1, and that card did nothing until quite late in the game. This card can't go through your library or get creatures, but also you can just play a 1/4 flying blocker on turn 2, and that's some incredible utility for a best-of-1 control deck.

I agree that 1/4 Flying for 1U is the best thing about the card for sure.

They made a ramp card that is super bad at ramping. What non-krasis creatures are you ramping into with that? Its a forest you can't fetch. Voracious Hydra & Finale of Devastation (though granted with Ghalta gone there aren't so many good targets for it)

This is spicy in limited. There's usually something useful in your pool that you're not playing, so this grabs that potential 24th card and/or is a 1/4 flier for 1U which is definitely playable.

MikeCrotch posted:Voracious Hydra & Finale of Devastation (though granted with Ghalta gone there aren't so many good targets for it) End-Raze Forerunners was already better than Ghalta for Finale purposes, imo. The difference between a 22 and 17 power isn't usually relevant and it gives anything else you have trample, so you can still win with whatever else you have if they have chump blockers and removal ready.

neaden posted:Why is that Shepherd stronger at attacking then a knight? It seems weird to call out that he doesn't have a sword but he can kill an elephant. It's because he's a German Shepherd. And Cathar's Companion shows that 3/1 is the statline for a Good Boy. All German shepherds are good boys.

This card seems insane. Anything that lets you copy and get free spells for 2 CMC is gonna see play. And it's even at uncommon which blows my mind.

It's cute in a control deck, the front half is a good blocker to slow the game down If you have this, you should try to draft a couple real hefty impactful spells that you'd be happy to wish for in a board stall / topdeck war.

I can't wait for arena's Bo1 queue to degenerate to "red deck" "anti-red deck control" and "anti-control-maximum-greed-wishboard control" exactly like it was at the mythic invitational. Just those 3 decks rock paper scissoring each other into oblivion. faerie is going to break Bo1 over its knee, because now you can splash that in any deck that can add a few blue sources

BO3 honestly isn't much different. You're either aggro or control because the only viable midrange deck is scapeshift.

fae of wishes is not a constructed playable magic card all of the castles are good cards and will see play. green is the most questionable one of the lot but theres probably some six mana green fatty that will be extremely good alongside it and so it will end up being the best one.

Also I don't know why no one has pointed out that you don't need to cast a 6-drop with the green castle. Like, casting 2 3-drops or a 4-drop and 2-drop a turn early is also perfectly reasonable and good.

Fae of Wishes feels like it's going to be very context-sensitive so it's hard to fully evaluate. 4 mana for a sorcery-speed Wish isn't generally a constructed-quality card (Karn tGC sees only fringe play in the format where you actually have to tap four lands to cast him), but being able to play it early as an acceptable blocker makes it less punishing to have in your hand at the wrong times and the effect can potentially be powerful. I don't think it's going to be a windmill slam into generic Ux shells, but I also wouldn't be surprised if there ended up being a deck that wanted it at some point.

I thought having so many wish effects in standard was not wanted because that means BO1 will need full sideboards?

The three different playable wishes in Standard would indicate they're doing a bad job of it, if that's what they want. Also IIRC they said part of the reason for the resurgence of obvious hate cards (Veil of Summer et al.) was to make sideboarding a little easier for new players.

GoutPatrol posted:I thought having so many wish effects in standard was not wanted because that means BO1 will need full sideboards? IMO Wizards should be doing more, not less, to encourage players on Arena to get used to sideboarding. It's a pretty integral part of the game. It's weird you can climb to the top of the Constructed ladder without ever learning how to sideboard.

2 of the stores I bought magic from as a kid were started as sports cards only. With a corner of the store dedicated to magic, then eventually Star Trek, Star Wars, some games that probably only had 1-3 sets released and failed. Both of those went out of business. the one in my small hometown was a front for bookmaking and Coke. I was there when the cops raided the place right after school. Why they decided to do it at 3 pm, instead of anytime before 2:30 never made sense. The comic book shop in the closest city was probably the first in the area to carry magic. Comics, war game miniatures, fantasy/sci fi/horror novels. Back then the only place you could get shirts with comic book/Star Wars characters on them outside of the children’s section of clothing stores was at comic book stores.
