A Hollow Man Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not as showy an effect as some of the other spoilers, but still amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementuo Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is it not better to just use Duress..? No, you're 100% right. This is just multi-color, on legs, targets less, and is more vulnerable. And more mana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 No, you're 100% right. This is just multi-color, on legs, targets less, and is more vulnerable. And more mana. The more vulnerable argument makes 0 sense. Cause really, if this gets a second card out of the opponent it just caused a 2-1. Not to mention its a great Resto target. More mana is also an issue, but you never want to Duress turn 1 anyway. I know I'll bring these in vs control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Hollow Man Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Between the "more vulnerable" comment and the "Force a Kill spell" comment, Dementuo, it seems like you think responding to this with something like Shock will negate its effect. But it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Better than Duress because of the ability and the abusability of the card with Restoration Angel. Being a body just is an awesome idea. Doesn't have much effect in other formats, but this in Standard could be pretty good. Duress only hits Planeswalkers outside of this.

It also gets Enchantments and Artifacts. And even with that I'd rather this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't that many seen Artifacts and Enchantments in Standard besides Detention Sphere normally. Underworld Connections has been pretty low on the bar.

.Rai Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Exile is why this will be played though. Unburial Rites goes. And, really, if you manage to hit anything with this, they can't Snapcaster it back. Then, Restoing it back is just as good. Obviously, strictly sideboards against control mirrors.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Neither this nor Duress are actually better than eachother.Owait, Duress is because it costs less mana and less colours and hits more things (especially Planeswalkers), but the difference is marginal, since both are absolutely fantastic cards and each have different applications.
