This might just be the year
I don't know how strong it would be but the Scorpion Dragon plays pretty well with that Pia Nalaar deck that has all the impulse draw and benefits when you play things from exile.

1) where does the haste come from in this
2) how does opp not hold up interaction after you plotted the dragon

1) lmao I incorrectly gave it had haste instead of trample when I looked away to write the theoretical fantasy line.

2) well without haste I think they just laugh at you wasting turns in an aggro deck and being left empty handed, while they sit with plenty of health.

I think the four birds are better than the one stinger back.

It's not Murktide imo but there's some good potential here:



A Scorpion Dragon without deathtouch or firebreathing? Booooo.

The Plot ability is cool though, will probably beat a bunch of people to death in limited.

It’s a cool card to play with that Rakdos devil from the Clue set that’s a 5/5 menace that dumps your hand into clues. But I don’t actually know if the eternal formats still have a place for like non-hasty 4 mana creatures that are simply big.

I can't imagine it ever having a place in modern+ when you could just be playing Murktide.

It's a really strong limited card that might be played a bit in standard but I don't even know how many standard decks aren't just midrangey value decks now.

I'm selling some items that I would rather not sell but with mom just having heart surgery I decided I probably should focus on that right now. So I'm selling the signed prints and playmats I bought from the Foglios. click the quote source to go to the SA-mart thread:

I bought the Foglio Portfoglio 2 when it was available, and while I do plan on keeping some of them, right now I think I'll put the majority of them up for sale since mom just had heart surgery.

imgur galleries(magic card for scale):
https://imgur.com/a/QTiMYc2#bIi9cBA
https://imgur.com/a/l8G55wb#jSaeior

all prints are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity, and all playmats are signed.

available items in both print and playmat form:

Anarchy
Killer Bees
Bird Maiden
Chaos Warp
Infernal Darkness
Orcish Librarian
Rainbow Vale
Recycle

items I currently plan on keeping but might wind up selling later:
Bottle Gnomes
Sylvan Tutor
Teferi's Puzzle Box
Combined Blasts(Pyroblast and Hydroblast artworks merged), print has some sort of residue or something along the right side for some reason, it came like that.


I am not entirely sure what sort of price I should ask for each of them. looking on ebay, a Bottle Gnomes signed playmat sold for $540, which seems insane to me, but then again I'm not super familiar with limited edition autographed stuff and so any help with figuring out value would be appreciated.

You could stack and Ghyrson Starn with a pinger to really pump out the damage, right?

Ping something for one, stack the Ghyrson Starn trigger first, then her trigger for the ping and another trigger for Starn's two damage?

It feels like a mistake card at first glance. I look at this card and think "is this just yawgmoth's will but crimes?".

The black restriction makes it a bit less broken than yawg will but it's still insane

Without the restriction it'd become a piece in standard sultai roots that'd let you pop off to make ten billion mana and plants essentially

If wotc does the dumb thing and puts dark/cabal ritual and tendrils into MH3, then lmao

Edit: uhh does he also get around timing restrictions?

It will be a fun card in Timeless, you can almost make the Breach deck into mono-black. Dump a bunch of cards in the graveyard, get up to like 5 mana, cast Kaervek with some rituals and copies of Tendrils in the yard and the game is over.

Really hyped to build a Kaervek deck. He lets you cast the card you discard from Bitter Triumph immediately right? Can't believe it isn't limited to instants and sorceries or something. It seems like you'd be able chain the crimes too?

Stealing cards is fun, and I'm happy they've printed enough of them at this point that you can fairly easily make it a cube theme for blue/black Dimir.



Dang, so this makes two copies of any other creature you control + has them attack? At 6 isn't breaking, but that's a fun effect and pretty wild immediate impact.

Also digging Eriette's cards, two in a row between this and WOE of a really fun build-around concept.
