No, it's basically "Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage, this emblem deals 8 - x damage to that opponent, where x is the amount of life your opponent has lost this turn."

So your team would deal normal damage and the emblem would just deal zero damage.

No, first strike damage works with the emblem. First strike damage occurs, the emblem does its thing so long as the amount of damage on the first instance of damage is less than 8 it becomes 8. Then normal damage occurs.

So if you have 1 first striker doing 1 damage it actually does 8 damage.

It is a nice bit of poetic irony that Drizzt and Lolth work very very well together.

Colossus Hammer isn't in Standard right now, and likely won't be unless they reprint it in the exact same set as Bruenor for some reason.

When ETB target opponent reveals their hand, discard a non land card from it

Getting to play my creature AND ts (or even double t1 TS) seems good

So far all these cards are good. And I worry the evoke cycle is too powerful. Especially with ephemerate already being a real deck.

3 cards coming to modern from the past:
First, Cabal Coffers
E: Upshifted from uncommon to mythic
But it gets a tempestTorrent watermark, which is neat.

I love how it's got the neotany thing of a much larger head proportionally going on, so the one part anyone really remembers about flametongue kavu is still as big on the card itself

Not all of these characters have named signature weapons - Drizzt has two, Bruenor has 0 (his axe has been powered up but it doesn't look like it's ever been actually named).

Like I'm sure there's going to be equipment for Bruenor to work with, I'm just skeptical that it's going to be Colossus Hammer.

And didn't we already get a Vorpal Blade spoiled? That's not anyone in particular's, that's just generic D&D stuff.
