Flame Dragon Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Signal is in Japanese so posting the image does little good. Anyway, thanks. I'll just add the text to the first page and add the english cards when they get added to the gallery tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 For some reason, the Dimir Charm is probably the best charm imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 [quote name='Blissful Skyfall' timestamp='1357568412' post='6114081'] For some reason, the Dimir Charm is probably the best charm imo. [/quote] Only because of how much a Dimir fanboy you are It's interesting, but certainly not the most playble charm so far. Stolen Identity copying artifacts is really interesting. I mean, Mind Grind is by far the best card spoiled here. It's the Dimir version of Revelation. Esper Control should run both Revelation and Mind Grind as win cons.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 A 1-of Dimir Charm seems pretty good in Esper control tbh. General shell I'm going to be trying for mill is basically 6 sweepers, 3 Rev, 2 Grind, 1 Jace MA and an Elixir, with 3 Drownyards. After goldfishing it, it seems very consistent too, so I can't wait for more Dimir stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Oh comeon, it is good! It counters sorcerys. Need I explain? I don't want to. It destroys things like Bob. It is also a brainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 A lot of decks in both standard and modern play very, very few sorceries. So does every other kill spell, more reliably. Don't even compare it to Brainstorm. In standard, at least, it deals with Rakdos's Return, Bonfire of the Damned, half a Lingering Souls, Farseek, Dreadbore It kills mana dorks and Silverblade Paladin. Can fateseal and opponent in the lategame. It's not applicable in modern. Cards like Esper Charm, Izzet Charm, Path to Exile, the like, all exist.

Stops a farkseek, which is arguably one of the best cards in the format with Shocklands. It is a hard counter for them. This is an instant brainstorm that doesn't draw, but puts it on the top of your deck. [quote name='Kevin the Bird' timestamp='1357582027' post='6114279'] Izzet Charm.

[/quote] This counters sorceries, a hard counter. It isn't stoppable unless you counter it, which no one would anyways. This would destroy them if they are lower. It can stop Infect, an early game Tarmogoyf. It is a draw engine as well, with digging into your deck, not decreasing your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Stop calling it a draw engine, or a brainstorm, or anything like that. It's actively giving you card disadvantage, and not in the way that Izzet Charm at least gives you 2 extra cards to work with immediately. Countering Sorceries means next to nothing. I already mentioned Farseek, but that's the best thing it counters in standard. Oh and next to no decks even run Nighthawk right now. Yay! Hard counters aren't necessary in modern. The pay 2 clause on Izzet Charm is practically enough to always be a hard counter when you need it to be, and Izzet Charm has better modes as a whole, while not being as restrictive. Again, nearly no deck in modern plays sorceries. Every other removal spell deals with Goyf much more reliably. Infect just pumps their guy in response and you 1-for-1 their spell. Not to mention against mono black infect it can't even try to deal with Vatmother. It doesn't draw anything though. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much what Izzet Charm does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreelancerRaiko Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is it just me, or are the Boros getting like NO love from this? Hell even their keyrune is lame compared to the others.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only guess we'll get some big splashy Boros rare this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm not surprised Boros aren't getting much. RDW is already arguably the best deck in the format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsianGuy1137 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I personally think Boros will be a delight to play with at the prerelease or draft, but I might be biased as it is my favorite guild. RDW is decent, but it's not the top deck. The format is at a stage, perhaps because it's very well balanced, where there is no dominant top deck so far.
