.Rai Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hero of Goma Fada 4W Creature - Human Knight Ally {R} Rally - Whenever Hero of Goma Fada or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn. "They seek to break us. Let us show them our strength!" [4/3] Naming the Ally mechanic is a good decision. Saves a lot of reading comprehension in practice. Also, good to see that Allies now affect all creatures. Way too parasitic last time. Just right this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I like the ally keyword, it's a nice change. This is a solid card in limited, I can't wait to see more allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 >Allies keyworded>Allies generic I got a nerdgasm. BFZ is shaping up to be a much more returny-return than RTR was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hope this genericization (sic?) pushes the Ally effect over the top enough where it'll be a serious Constructed contender. You now need a much smaller critical mass of them in your deck to benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Technically, this is an ability word, rather than a keyword, meaning it cannot be referenced through outside effects. This distinction was important fairly recently, over the matter of whether or not Indestructible and Unblockable were keywords (at the time, both were "just words"). Indestructible became an actual keyword, and unblockable was replaced with "cannot be blocked". This kinda reminds me of Frontline Medic, but the mana cost on this is quite high. Could be really interesting if any allies end up with flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Feel like a lot of this things power will be in the existence in a Flash Ally. Interesting card and I like the effect being general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I enjoy how the new Allies don't pay mind to the number of Allies you control now. Makes their synergy less centralizing and more draft-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
