Oh the joke is that she's turning random other creatures into Gideons. I get it now.

You would be able to layer Taranika's effect below a mentor trigger to put +1/+1 counters on a creature and then buff it too big to be a legal target, but you can't use Taranika to buff a creature and then have it mentor something that was larger than it without the buff because Mentor checks validity on targeting and resolution. Putting Taranika's effect on top of Krenko's effect works just fine though.

It lets you turn Swiftblade vindicator into a 5/5 with even a single counter on it. Or make your Legion Warboss indestructible so they can't stop the goblin flood.

Bust Rodd posted:Yeah who cares about Mentor I’m just making an assload of goblins I mean look Attack once with Krenko, Taranika, and a mentor creature. Mentor resolves first, giving Krenko a +1/+1. Then, Taranika buffs Krenko, making him a 5/5. Then Krenko ability resolves. Six! Six Goblin tokens! Ah ah ah!

I don't foresee this making waves in Standard, but I love its design.

Yeah that planeswalker is about as boring as it could possibly be, whelp that’s a shame, I was really hoping that they’d moved away from that didn’t space.

a +1 that will whiff a not insignificant portion of the time, a -3 that is strong but leaves him very vulnerable and leaves open interactions that make it just do nothing or worse than nothing, and a -7 that's just another 4 mana spell in his colors. seems pretty weaksauce for a 4 mana walker.

That's an insanely parasitic design. I thought they tried to steer away from that stuff.

It's super thematic though. Just needs a rider like "If that creature is Theseus, it gains indestructable and deathtouch." Labratory Marlin has Ice Cauldron amounts of text, but I'm ready for mono blue self-mill to get another tool so I can try and lose with it some more.

A Traumatize reprint would actually be really funny in this block with Escape. Not good, but funny. Also planeswalker hatebear owns.

This reasonably wins the game on a draft board stall if you’re playing mono-blue, doesn’t it?

Really excited about that hatebear. Doesn't do much against Fires, I guess, but Teferi + bounce is a lot worse when it costs 4.

Owlbear Camus posted:Labratory Marlin has Ice Cauldron amounts of text, but I'm ready for mono blue self-mill to get another tool so I can try and lose with it some more. on this note, today's DailyMTG article is pretty interesting. it's actually about how rares and mythics were wordier than they wanted and had to cut them down  some choice quotes quote:For example, the set contains a blue-red legendary creature named Dalakos. This was a top-down design based on the Daedalus character from Greek mythology, and the card was intended for a Commander audience. And it was ridiculous. It was a soup of 66 fiddly, process-intensive words that was trying to inspire a Commander deck that doesn't currently exist. I liked that we were playing in novel space, but at some point, we were experimenting with templating the card using a two-column bulleted list in the middle of a paragraph. This design is now resting comfortably in a shallow grave behind the Chihuly Glass Garden. quote:Calix, a new planeswalker, lost his fourth ability. This was a cool static ability that was fun to read and let you put extra loyalty counters on him in a nontraditional way—but if the choices were "we can't even print this card because the text doesn't fit" and "we can print this card with its three other abilities and adjust its numbers to compensate for the couple of loyalty counters per game it'll no longer receive," the choice was easy. I guess that's why calix is so boring

That hatebear is extremely medium and it's sad how far we've come from Thalia. Really feels like it could have taxed walkers more if it's going to be that narrow.

It it were a 2 tax it probably would have had to be legendary, I guess. Maybe at 1 it could have also hit non-mana abilities on artifacts.

Breaking the sacred color pie to give it Flash so you could respond to an on-curve walker on the stack would be funny.

uggy posted:nice to vial in response to a planewalker being played, as opposed to a thalia You can already do that with phyrexian revoker, which is way less narrow. It's ok, I just don't see where it's going to be overly useful. Also if you have thalia in play then the walker already costs 1 more so it can't be used on curve. I get that it's not legendary but who is going to play 4 of these just to inconvenience some control decks?
