that's ok, all those cards have 4 lines of text explaining that you can use any color of mana to cast those cards these days

A bigass scry plus 3 cards is just as good as 4 cards most of the time, many times even better. (Anyone who's played Into the Story and drawn 4 lands will attest to that).

5 mana instead of 4 means Into the Story probably still edges it out in decks that can consistently turn it on. But giving non-Rogues blue decks a way to hold up countermagic and then gas up at end of turn is pretty frickin' sweet.

That card is probably the best draw spell printed in the last 20 years if you can actually play a snow deck. The tools might actually be there this time around though, Kaldring is also busted and there are several decent creatures

Are we not gonna talk about the most metal creature typing in the set?

The lore overview of immersturm (the rakdos part of kaldheim) is :rock:

Planeswalker's Guide to Kaldheim posted:

IMMERSTURM

Immersturm is a land of fire, demons, and constant warfare. As lightning crashes in the sky, demonic raiders sail flaming ships across burning seas, scouring the realm for routes into other realms they can pillage. The gods have placed powerful runic wards around Immersturm to keep the demons trapped and prevent them from causing havoc elsewhere, but the wards aren't perfect, and it's only a matter of time until the demons find another way out.

Immersturm never stops burning. The seas are made of fire, and the sky is lit by a perpetual lightning storm. The demons inhabit a bleak, mountainous landmass made of sharp, unforgiving black rock and pitted with burning craters. Noxious fumes, toxic to all but demons, emit from the cracks and billow into the sky. There is no vegetation in Immersturm. The only wild "animals" are beasts formed of elemental flame that spring from pits of fire.

...

The Bloodcrag is a volcano deep in the black mountains of Immersturm. No lava bubbles in its caldera—instead, it seethes with blood, for the Bloodcrag is the source of all demons. Every time a demon slaughters a non-demonic creature (which every demon does at every possible opportunity), the victim's blood is magically transferred to the Bloodcrag. When the seething gore of the demons' conquests reaches the lip of the caldera, a new demon emerges. However, the runic wards that trap the demons in this realm make new victims scarce, and no new demons have emerged from the Bloodcrag in many years.

I got a rules question:
If I have an 80 card deck in Bo3, can I sideboard it down to 60 cards in between games ;firing yorion obviously. Or does the sideboard still have a maximum size during the match?

That effect attached to a land is cool and seems very strong, but i think in this standard coming into play tapped is a huge drawback compared to it just pinging you when tapped for mana like RR did. I don�t know if it�s the strongest of the cycle, but it�s my favourite for sure.

A sideboard can be anywhere between 0-15 cards, so no you can't do it because yes it still has a maximum.

Minor point, Ramunap Ruins could sacrifice another land, like Sunscorched Desert.

Otherwise it is the same pay 5 sac a land go to the dome goodness with extra damage and discard.

Jabor: Jul 16, 2010; #1 Loser at SpaceChem

I'm not sure how to evaluate the discard because most of the impact of Ruins was just the inevitability of having that last 2-4 damage available on a land. Which is still what you're using this for against controlly decks, and against other aggro stuff they're not likely to be still sandbagging cards on turn 6.

I guess my prediction is the damage is going to finish off a lot of games, but the discard will rarely be meaningful.

Land doing 3 to the face is pretty great in any red based strategy. Etb not so much, especially in anything trying to race.

Seems like a decent base in this set for a more traditional permission deck, mono u snow?
