NeoRWBY65 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah...I don't see any reason to play this, but you can correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 They are really trying to make cromaticore.dec a thing aren't they? This is a solid curve topper for draft though, 6/6 flyer for 6 is damn strong in limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoRWBY65 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Okay, my statement before was a little exaggerated, but the draw ability was what bugs me at how much you have to pay for 5 cards even in the best conditions possible.

Poc Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yea the draw effect is crazy overpriced for what it does, this card is a limited Allstar though. I think they intended this to be a finisher for a hard control deck but theros still has lots of good finishers available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 He looked fine until they bumped up his ability costs. It's unlikely he'll ever be played for his ability now, but as mentioned, a good draft/limited bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai-Red Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 What anoys me more of this card is the Fact that it want's a Domain Deck to be good and a Core set is the Worst place for that... And given the ability is just a reference at how Ravnica is THE MULTICOLOR Set, it don't seem to be foresighting anything so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Or it's foreshadowing Khans might be the Wedge block. Since, otherwise they printed heavy Multi-Colour support for basically a couple of months before most of it rotates out. I'm mostly hoping that because I want another Tri Colour block. Since I missed out on Alara, and I like the idea of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's probably too soon for another multicolour block. This is just a flavourful reference to Ravnica. Soul of Zendikar isn't exactly foreshadowing that Khans is a token block, for example. It was worth a look in Standard when it was speculated to be 3UU in the fuzzy screenshot, but it's just a Limited bomb now. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai-Red Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 What is actually weird is that Soul of Zendikar wasn't a Ramp given that well Zendikar was the Lands Matters Block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 If you got this card out and have the Mana left to use his draw effect, why didn't you win yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 If you got this card out and have the Mana left to use his draw effect, why didn't you win yet? Because you have to use it's effect the turn you cast him e.e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewolfjedi Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 If you got this card out and have the Mana left to use his draw effect, why didn't you win yet? because your playing EDH and you got off your art ramping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Because you have to use it's effect the turn you cast him e.e Maybe if you don't have the resources to win yet which is a bit bull, considering that Blue Decks have hefty amounts of draw power. He just seems like a waste of space that requires too much deck dedication with a lategame effect that would be better earlygame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the entire part of your point except the "Use it the turn you have it" part. And self mill decks set up the second effect easily, even if it's still costly as balls.

What I meant to say was that there are other, more worthwhile cards to use in that situation that can guarantee you the game if you had the same amount of resources as what this card takes up. Self-Mill Decks seem the most plausible to be able to pull it off though. If there are Grixis Self-Mill Decks, then this card might actually be worth it. Might.

Poc Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 There are better reanimator targets than this, even with being able to cast it's effect from the graveyard, it's a one time use and you would get 2-3 cards from it at most in the majority of dredge/reanimator decks. Other than the huge body, this card is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
