My idea to fix the extra turn issue is to make it so you only get 1 extra turn per normal turn. So if you copied epiphany, you get extra birds but the turns wouldn't stack.

Triome doesn't mean anything right? Don't see a reason demon gangs couldn't have them. The tower one feels like a magic card, but the lounge does not.

It would also probably break the Confluence modal cycles as well.

I think it works with those, you just get to do each option once (or only one or two once if you wanted to). It seems like it's just the power/toughness setting that causes contradictions and they could have come up with a ruling to address it if they really wanted it to work.

Dreadnaught was nerfed for years by making the sac 12 power part of the cost, iirc. I wonder if they can print that version without breaking the reserve list.

Even weirder that three of the remaining four have generic names (Battlefield Forge could be on any plane) but the fourth is Llanowar Wastes???

I'd assume they'll be in brothers' war. Don't know the story to know if llanowar gets messed up or just has an unsavory part of the woods they can portray.

Bank buster and surgehacker both benefit from the crew reduction. I'm guessing brothers war will have more mechs too.

I hope they do proliferate again in one of the upcoming sets.
But the weatherlight wants stuff to die without making tokens or providing a sac outlet, so seems like a lot of set up for a 5/5 flying that may draw a few cards. Should be fun in limited at least.

The Lotus will be fun with VOW Teferi. Not sure that's good enough, but can make a lot of mana.

Turn one triome, turn two that gate gets you 4/5 for domain on turn 2. Could be something if the aggressive domain payoffs are good enough.

I don't think so, and the mana base will also be terrible without pathways.

There was the black one in stixhaven and the white prince in eldraine. They put these 'pick one of three basic etb effects' at rare, maybe for draft balancing.

So this dominaria stuff is going for a few sets, right? Which means more legends retold which means Boris Devilboon 2, right right?

Maybe, but I bet Brothers' war will have more throwbacks to Antiquities and maybe the Urza's block. Who knows where the other phyrexian sets will take place.

They did something similar with Glissa where you'd count the mana in pool and still be able to spend it otherwise, though offhand I don't know if they've done anything else like her.


Original Omnath comes to mind. Interesting that they updated wording on some commander version just refers to 'unspent green mana' and removes references to the 'mana pool'. https://scryfall.com/card/cc1/2/omnath-locus-of-mana

Target opponent reveals their hand. Choose up to one artifact or creature card from it, then choose an artifact or creature card from their graveyard. Exile the chosen cards.

It seems like from this wording, the target player doesn't need a graveyard card to exile to target them. Pretty powerful duress effect if so. Exiling makes it better than thoughtsieze against combos like greasefang.

This might be a hosed up take but I think that 5/5 for 5 green mythic would've been mediocre even if it came down as a 15/15 immediately

The token has haste, and I think a five mana 15/15 haste might see play. As is, I think you need some way to recur it to make it constructed playable.

TheKingofSprings posted:

For genuine haste instead of haste* it's 10 mana, if the early body were just a little tougher like a 3/3 or a 2/4 it might have a shot but I just don't see it especially when it gets hosed all day by probably the best 2 drop in the format right now

Which two drop hoses it?

Have they said if the Invoke cycle in Kamigawa was in reference to invoke prejudice? Cause the name and mana cost make it seem like it, but that would not be the first card I'd make a cycle referencing.

In triple scars draft, you wanted to be either all in infectious or not really bother with it. I remember drafting some mixed decks that would get the opponent to six poison counters and six life and couldn't finish them off in either fashion.
Will be interesting to see how it plays it out this time.

Strictly speaking you’re right, white is allowed to exile stuff and give its owner compensation, but it’s a break in terms of efficiency and vibe I think, so even tho it’s in pie, in aggregate it’s probably too efficient for white.

Technically a 3 cmc green creature with flash and deathtouch and Hexproof that fights when it ETBs is all in Green’s part of the colour pie, but in practice that’s basically just Murder so they’ll never print it. They’ve printed StP variants since but they’re all worse in one way or another.

They kept the effect as white for Solitude so I don't think wizards considers it out of whites color pie even when pushing efficiency level.

Invasion of Gobakhan is gonna be the replacement for Wedding Announcement in W/x aggro decks post-rotation

Also it's Teyo's home plane, so that's neat

Wedding announcement goes into midrange, not aggro decks. It's also 3 dudes (or maybe card draws if you have enough) and an anthem for no work, vs 1 dude and having to work for the anthem.

Did the Preators 'grow' from a small amount of oil on Mirrodin? If so the phyrexians could lose the initial invasion but potentially always be a dormant threat on any plain.

I don't think bo1 mono blue wants a 4 mana win more card. Maybe you run it in Grixis if you want to be cute

You can copy your opponents dudes so it isn't as win more as the ones the just copy yours. Might be useful against Sheoldred.
Don't know if being able to copy spells makes it useful enough in the control mirror to be maindeck worthy.

They could make ones that you have to protect for a certain number of turns to get the payoff. Sort of like suspend that can be interacted with.
