I initially thought he just looked neat because I couldn't find actual mechanical implications for a shield counter and assumed it was just one-time fuel for his ability (they're on Pallation Accord, where they're basically just charge counters) so it's not a dead ability if you have no other counters. Once I saw Perrie and his reminder text for shield counters I was much more intrigued.

He can remove any kind of counter, so say you've got a persisting Glen Elendra Archmage flittering about and some blue Mana to spare

It might be a replacement for pod in tnt blood pod. Probably worth testing, but the 6 mana does make it harder over the 4 mans from pod

I voted for pink and then for grey/red and I think both of the colour combos look rad as gently caress. I'll probably get one of each.

Isn't removing a counter an additional cost to casting a spell from the top of your library so you'd only get to remove one per spell?

You could make it indestructible and just pile on all the -1/-1 on it, also if you find a way to just constantly tap untap it wouldn't you just make infinite green mana?

Indestructible stuff still gets removed to having 0 or less toughness.

Indestructibility doesn't stop it from dying because it has 0 toughness. You usually pair it with Melira, Vizier of Remedies, or Solemnity to generate infinite mana.

E:

There's also the {W} enchantment with Flash that turns it into a vehicle. That would let you pile on infinite counters as well.

fadam
Apr 23, 2008

Devoted Druid just gives you a constant source of counters so your commander is always a Future Sight, you'd have to generate the infinite G mana from it separately.

Unrelated, but if you were to remove two cards from the CEDH DDB entry for Blue Farm and add two pieces of interaction (a Gilded Drake and a Rollick in my case) where would you start? I really, really hate PITA but I know it's probably correct to run it, but I'm leaning toward removing both a PITA and a RoF.

Maybe the non-TT wheels?

Making 1 mana per spell and being able to play from the top is still very good.

Devoted druid is already underpriced. The UMA reprint helped keep its price down, but it's the part of a bunch of good combos and it's constantly underplayed.

I think part of that is the subconscious bias people feel about cards with "negative words" on them. Like, people don't like putting -1/-1 counters on their own dude, even if it's really good. (I think Maro had a bit about this, where a creature with a really bad ability, like pay 10 life to get +1/+1, tested worse than a vanilla creature of the same cost and stats.)

Anhelo? Honestly, I think he could be really neat, depending upon the build, and I'm not really a Grixis kind of guy.

Right off the bat I think people are going to try an Aristocrats build, but considering he needs specifically power 2 or greater, and the usual token producers in those kinds of decks tend to make 1/1s, I'm not having high hopes for that.

I could see people trying him out in cEDH, as you could copy a Pact, first one grabbing a Thoracle, the second getting rid of the rest of your library. He can also copy counterspells as well, making him a little spicy. I can see him being the head of a very interesting combo deck.
