(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wait, is that a kor getting harmed in an artwork? That is a little unusual, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delibirb Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I feel like From Beyond is largely superior to Conduit of Ruin in terms of tutoring. Having both though. That'd be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Brutal Expulsion is crazy good. Will definitely see Standard play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Brutal Expulsion is good because it is an eldrazi counterspell, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I feel like From Beyond is largely superior to Conduit of Ruin in terms of tutoring. Having both though. That'd be something. They both cost the same amount of mana, though, and Conduit of Ruin doesn't force you into green and leaves behind a 5/5 body. That said, I don't think they're really comparable: if at all, From Beyond will likely see play in a GB token grind deck, while Conduit will be in Eldrazi doofy big ramp. And lol, I misread Expulsion as Explosion. Still a crazy good card, though: pretty much a guaranteed 2-for-1. Temur control, maybe? What I like the most so far, though, is March from the Tomb. Could we maybe see Mardu Rally (the ancestors, not the mechanic) Allies if we get one that enables haste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm planning to shape my Jeskai Tokens into Jeskai Tempo, and Brutal Explosion offers so much flexibility that I can't resist running a full playset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Not quite Modern playable, but someone mentioned that Brutal Expulsion can kill Etched Champion which is a really cool interaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 That's a two for one. Get rid of their Emrakul and their Etched Champion. That never never knew what hit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 March seems like a pretty good way after your Allies get board wiped. Transgress has some messed up art. Not sure how good it will be though. 2 mana is a massive jump for discard spells. Network might be one of the worse rares in the set. Exert also seems pretty bad. Sylvan Scrying is a great reprint. New Phoenix should be good enough for standard. I missed that Expulsion can bounce a spell. Card seems really good. Awakening Zone for Scion was something I would have expected. Like the extra tutor.

bury the year Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm patiently waiting to see all this mana fixing their going to give us so garbage like Mirror Network is actually playable in limited. I was thinking about it and trying to understand the design team's potential argument, but I don't think there really is one. Frost Breath is three mana at instant speed to tap down two creatures: for the same spread of creatures on Mirror Network, you need to pay five mana, one of those not being blue, and do it the turn before. I don't think it would have been that much of a sin to add the "can't untap next turn" clause. Right now, it just reeks of lost potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on the mana fixing though, 5 color converge seems like a archetype for draft and they're putting a lot of gold cards in this set. Evolving wilds and sylvan scrying aren't really cutting it for 5 color mana bases right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolving wilds and sylvan scrying aren't really cutting it for 5 color mana bases right now. I don't think they have a lot of gold atm. One of the things Mark has said is that they are upping the amount of gold per set to have showcase limited archetypes. They likely will have more than they normally would otherwise, but 1 cycle of 2 color uncommons and a few gold rares is perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
