(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 This feels like around the optimal scale for this kind of card. Definitely better than dreamstone hedron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Jace is one JABRONI though. Talking back like that to a millenia-old spirit dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Proof positive that Jace has a smart mouth when he wants to make use of it. (Only Liliana possibly knows the full extent of that 'smartness', though. Ehehehe... ;) ) With the flavor bonus being a boon, I can see this sneaking into a few decks for extra draw power.

bury the year Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Mind Stone is easily an EDH staple, while Dreamstone Hedron only really sees play in artifact-abuse builds, or rarely mono-white as an extra source of draw. I'm wondering to which end of the spectrum this will fall closer. I think more towards the second. Yeah, the colorless draw is nice, but Sisay's Ring and Ur-Golem's Eye only appear rarely, and I don't think effectively paying four mana to draw two cards is a big enough upside to swing it.

Trebuchet MS Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've seen a Kurkesh EDH abuse Mind Stone and Dreamstone Hedron. It's nice to see it gets another new toy, and one the rounds off the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The flavor text is amazing, though the card is a mix. Best place for it is EDH though I'm not sure its good enough to make it. Is close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all of Jace's sass, I expect a perfectly accurate comeback from Ugin. Namely, "Well it worked fine until YOU GUYS funked IT UP." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all of Jace's sass, I expect a perfectly accurate comeback from Ugin. Namely, "Well it worked fine until YOU GUYS f***ed IT UP." I mean, what were the odds of 3 planeswalkers and Ugin's Ghostfire all being at the Eye of Ugin even happening? Granted, it was one of Bolas' machinations, so it's really him Ugin should be angry at. The point of Jace's sass was that imprisoning the Eldrazi is pointless, as the imprisonment is vulnerable to Murphy's Law, and now Zendikar is paying for it. Ugin wants to keep them alive to prevent any possible damage that killing them might do to the multiverse, but if they do end up killing the Eldrazi and causing unforeseen horrors, it would set the stage for a new overarching plot.

I was under the impression that they didn't kill them not because they were worried about what might happen, but because they simply COULDN'T. I mean, they have even less chance now given that they aren't god like beings, so I'm curious what ends up happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently, we did have a story where Ugin did muse that one wouldn't want to kill them for fear of greater consequences. Trust the old super dragon to look at the big picture.
