Flame Dragon Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Seeing as how the dragons are going to end up being finishers in control, this seems pretty good. Though a rare Opportunity isn't exactly what I'd call exciting.Also, more pretty art. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think Ingenuity is just better, The uncountable is nice but giving hand information is not so nice. Edit: Disregard this, I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 4 cards for 6 mana. Can't be countered in most cases you'd use it, yeah it's pretty good. Though by the time you have the mana you probably have some better options for draw anyway. Still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 An uncounterable Opportunity is always nice, and considering the Dragons we're getting it's not unusual for a control deck to use said Dragons as a wincon. Also note that this card will still be around for the first instance the new rotation format sets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Rare Opportunity with a slight upside (that won't even be that relevant because I don't remember people countering Opportunity). Not exciting. Expect for the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exciting. Expect for the art.Thats actually an interesting point. Draw spells in general aren't the thing people counter. I'm sure its uncounterability will be relevant some amount of time, but all it does is add a wall of text that will rarely be important.Yea, might just be me, but a lot of rares/mythics have been let downs.

And for 1 mana being able to turn a +3 on your opponents hand to a -1 is ok... ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 God, I can't ever imagine wanting another Limited format with a Opportunity variant at uncommon. I know M14 was slow and all, but it's pretty broke anyway. I'm pretty happy with this. And, I think this is one of the best pieces of art Seb McKinnon has done for Magic, except for maybe Grim Return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for 1 mana being able to turn a +3 on your opponents hand to a -1 is ok... ish. There are certainly times when you'd want to counter the draw spell, but you'd much rather save them for the threat or, in the case of Stubborn Denial, their counter.

Still can't help but be disappointed to have this as my rare in a pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
