Painful Truths {2}{B}SorceryConverge — You draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is equal to the number of colors of mana spent to cast ~. Dragonmaster Outcast is a reprint.

Rodrigo Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thank goodness I didn't go out of my way to acquire a Dragonmaster Outcast before. Should be easy to have one now, especially if it doesn't see Standard play. The black card is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 The "Painful Truth" is that Painful Truth is outclassed by even read the bones... punpunpun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's a shame that a rare is upstaged by a common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's a shame that a rare is upstaged by a common.Not necessarily. This can draw more cards under Vryn Wingmare and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not necessarily. This can draw more cards under Vryn Wingmare and friends. At that point, though, you're paying four different colors of mana. I can't think of what Standard decks will be wanting to do that (or be even able to). And Crumble to Dust is gonna see all sorts of Modern play, at least in sideboards. Decks that want Sowing Salt will now want this instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Anyhoo, Painful Truths may be better than we believe? It's the only draw-3 spell for under 4 mana in Modern at the moment, and those decks can certainly hit the three-color requirement... More spoilers! And Ally Encampment is everything I wanted out of this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Endless One is another good limited card. Unsure of its use in Standard. the Merfolk is pretty solid. Especially since you can put it on the same island over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Painful Truth is garbage. I'd rather cast Read the Bones. Dragonmaster Outcast is a sweet reprint, though I don't think I'll be too happy to open him. Crumble to Dust is interesting for Modern. Thats about it. Endless One is interesting for standard. Should see some play. The Merfolk is AMAZING. Seriously, its one of my favorite cards in the set. Giving 0-Awaken 3 seems stupid strong. Ally Encampment is just Haven of the Spirit Dragon that returns a thing for 1 less mana. Card seems amazing. Also, for those that care we got the last of the 5 land art I'm pretty disappointed with the reprints since only 1 of my 5 previous favorites made it. Granted I like a new Swamp more than my previous favorite and a new Plains hits a very similar note to an old one, but I grew attached to those lands. I'm not a fan of Bucket Island but I know a lot of people are. I am disappointed that none of John Avon's lands were reprinted. I figured they would do 1 per old artist with 1 doubling since they only had 4 cycles. Would have REALLY rather his Forest to Vincent Proce's since Proce got 2 other basics and that Forest is too pretty. I do really like the new Island and Swamp though. Going to be hard to pick a favorite to stockpile outside of the Mountain reprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I mean, Painful Truth at best draws three for three, which is pretty good mana-wise, but it has to be three colors. Not happy about the rarity though. Endless One is always on the curve forever. I'm probably gonna build Noyan Dar EDH. Slam those counters on an INKMOTH NEXUS, YOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Pretty sure this isn't here Seems pretty ok. I like this though. Pretty sure the Blue looking frame is just from it being highlighted. Also, the new Ally land changes the land math. Its number 228 or 229 and we know we have nonbasics until 249 so that means we actually have 21 nonbasic lands. We have exactly 11 right now so I'm guessing the last 10 are two cycles with MAYBE one more random land. And yea, Sand Vomit is creepy. Close to good enough in Modern since Exiling things is SUPER helpful, but it has a LOT of competition and I don't think it will beat them out.

.Rai Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Huh, I think the counterspell has a chance. Ulamog's Nullifier is so good when it's turned on that, provided there are enough reliable ways to turn it on, the deck provides the reward.

Poc Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It is just a f***ing Essence Scatter. Please give me a break. It exiles, It will see a lot of standard play. Probably not any modern since Essence scatter is more efficient and not as restricted and that sees 0 modern play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
