pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
Revenge of Ravens is strictly a limited card. You can't spend 4 mana doing nothing and losing to your opponent's existing threats in constructed.

It's effectively an enchantment that says "Creatures your opponents control get -1/-0". This is relevant in Eldraine because it's one of the slowest limited formats in modern Magic, there's a ton of life gain, and all the evasive creatures have 2 power (and all the defensive creatures have 5 toughness). Even then it only really shuts the game down completely if there's two of them.

Could be a Realm Cloaked Giant but big flavor fail as it's cast by the Red and Black Mage! It's a very good cartoon.

Unless it's not and you're staring down a completely unwinnable board state on turn 4, as was the case in the match I lost, and was my other opponents' experiences.

This is an amazing video, but more self-aware and parodying than I would've expected from official promo material.

At the omnipresent risk of :spergin:ing too heavily, most of the humor of that video relies on depicting the mechanical interactions of cards even when they make no sense to the flavor. Most obviously, the chump-blocking sight gag. So Realm-Cloaked Giant makes less sense to me in that light. I can't think of what it would be instead, though-- something that sacrifices lands for power when it comes into play? But I can't think of anything like that currently in Standard.


e: Also, a planeswalker getting angry at the mere sight of their opponent's first land is extremely real, but it should be a Breeding Pool for maximum realism in that department. :v:

The "pacified" dragon makes me want the next Un-set to have black-border reprints but with funny art. Imagine Pacifism but it's a ferocious giant dragon incapacitated with a pacifier in its mouth. Completely harmless!

I’ve been playing it, it’s fun. The Royal Scions work really well in that kind of deck, even though they draw attackers right away.

Getting Revenge bounced by T3feri is a real bad place to be. Most decks can go over the top of ravens anyway, it might work against cavalcade but then you might be dead anyway or they put down Torbrand and kill you through it.

I switched to guardman away from the original drakes that were in that slot because they kept being like 2/4s. It doesn't really have the spell density, and Arcanist works against it too

It's this garbage though there are variants.

Basically every time a creature attacks you if they have a loving 2 CC enchantment, you take 3 damage if the dwarf guy is out, or their firebird gets +3/+0, or they have baby Chandra out and it's 2 every turn plus the elementals, etc etc. It's so loving fast and requires no thought except "turn creatures"

Remember to play your enchantment BEFORE attacking and do damage before casting your skewers and draw 2s.
