Does the 10k give you four copies of Rhys?

No, you have to win a game of Brawl first and then craft the other three.

I feel like https://imgur.com/a/xVnyP needs another entry, because this is the apotheosis, the end stage of the Great Becoming where the Island no longer depicts not only an island, but terrain of any type.

something like that

I like how, at least, it's too awkward and slow to be a control finisher. It wants other creatures on the battlefield.

I think putting coins on your opponent's creatures helps with that, though.

Can't be oil, it only seeps into creatures made of metal. And Planeswalkers are immune to it's effects anyway.

True, but Elspeth doesn't appear to be degenerate. In limited exiling four other cards isn't a sure thing and her impact isn't huge. In constructed where it is easier to fill your yard her on board impact will be even smaller.

Watch me be wrong and she hits $80 as a four of in the tier 0 azorius self mill.

New Elspeth seems bad, but I guess that's because of Escape.

New Ashiok seems really good.

Or in fact just... craft one? because Brawl?

pretty garbage bab card tbh. Off the top of my head, for 6 mana you could be playing liliana, garruk, ethereal absolution, casualties of war which are all more immediately impactful and/or provide more value in the long run.

This is how they have been designing the buy a box cards since nexus of fate and its how they should design them. This is card people are going to want a single copy of for commander and that's it and that's how it should be.

Yeah that was pretty unclear. You don't get one just for entering Brawlidays, you get one for winning your first game in that event. It is also craftable.

So it's 10k gold for the privilege of being able to queue into a game mode that you should just be able to queue into any loving time you like, and if you win you get a gold wildcard that's immediately turned into Rhys.

Honestly it would probably be value for me to spend the 10k. I have daily quests going uncompleted because I’m playing Direct Challenge Brawls rather than Standard.

But I don’t want to on principle.

Ashiok is going to be a standard staple 100%. That is a good card.

If elspeth was designed like oko was, all of those abilities would be +. Not very good as is.

I'm probably going to do it because brawl is the only playable format on arena.

Even though I have a big tournament in a few weeks I should really be testing standard for. I've played like 20 matches in the last few days and literally every single one has been green. Standard is saved! :negative:

Ashiok seems really underwhelming. On turn 5 you're making a 2/3 or bouncing something while making them exile that extra land in their hand. They're definitely playing it super safe. Elspeth is absolutely nuts in a control deck. Sure I'll pitch a used Opt, Absorb, Fabled Passage and board wipe to make 4 1/1s and get in up to 14 damage for almost no investment.

6 loyalty the turn it comes into play (so it dodges Fry) and its +1 protects itself. -3 can be used on both sides of the board for value. The only way this card isn't playable is if there's no good UB shell to play it in.
