Sampatrick posted:4 mana look at 4 cards draw 2 of them is 1 card less than FoF It doesn't involve skill-testing pile splitting decisions. It's not very much like FoF beyond being an instant and putting cards into your hand.

It's a 4 mana instant card draw spell that looks at almost the same number of cards as FoF, of which you choose two to put in your hand. It's not the same card but it absolutely is very similar in actual functionality.

It's not FoF but it's definitely the closest thing we've gotten in power level since then and I'm really happy to see it. Strong instant draw is a very underappreciated piece of what allows control decks to function well.

It's not the same card but it absolutely is very similar in actual functionality. Right, but so are all the other 4-mana instant draw-2s with extra selection plus a tie-in with the set mechanic, like Glimmer of Genius, Behold the Multiverse, and Contact Other Plane. Is seeing all four cards when you're making the scry decision better than only seeing the first two? For sure yes, but it's not such a huge buff that it makes this particular one comparable to FoF in a way that the others weren't. Jabor fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Yeah, it seems very much like a zombie stalemate breaker.

An old planeswalker deck isn’t worth much, is it? I’m thinking of using the Dominaria Teferi deck as a fidget toy while I’m watching lectures this semester.

!Klams posted:Am I alone in thinking that werewolves are really boring? I'm in the opposite camp, I find vampires kind of boring, but werewolves are my favorite of the classic monsters because they have SO MUCH history. Every culture has folktales of humans that turn into animals, vice-versa, and human-animal hybrids. But that does play into the point you're making here, which is that I think for werewolves to really hit in these sets, Wizards should take a broader approach with other were-animals, or maybe even other non-European versions of these types of creatures. It would be more interesting than the standard Hollywood "wolfman" that most pop-culture werewolves are.

Commander start the 13th) so your have to wait for the full set reveal which I would expect tomorrow at 10ish central time.

I'm with Jabor, it's really weird to call that a FoF when it's a very good variant of the blue instant 4 mana draw 2 that we've gotten a million times since. The piles are an essential piece of FoF. Memory Deluge is the best, at least for Standard, between the dig and the flashback. Sunrise Cavalier 1RW Creature - Human Knight Trample, haste If it is neither day nor night, it becomes day as Sunrise Cavalier enters the battlefield. Whenever day becomes night or night becomes day, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. 3/3

Just thought about Winota rotating out again and wondering if WOTC ever unbans things because they're not overbearing anymore. Bloodbraid Elf took like 5 years to get unbanned, right?

Deathbonnet Sprout could easily be a Standard enabler if the rest of the deck is there.
