bury the year Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Here. My thoughts to come. [spoiler=My thoughts!]Bane of Bala Ged is annihiliator! Except better! Expedition Envoy may just be the missing puzzle piece for my modern Allies deck. Yeah, it doesn't get +1/+1 counters, but 2/1 for W is very aggressive and the deck needed another one-drop desperately. Kor Bladewhirl may be playable, too, and maaaaybe Kalastria Healer, but those are both stretches at best. All of these awaken spells are really nicely costed. Since the awaken cost is so much of a reach, they don't need to up the normal cost that much. Ruination Guide could tie the colorless deck together, alongside Herald of Kozilek. Rising Miasma is nice, but not sure if it will see Standard play with Languish and Eyeblight Massacre running around. If only Zulaport Cutthroat worked with all creatures... ): Too bad Chasm Guide is four mana. Would've been so much nicer at three or less. So Processor Assault is the sorcery that was being spoken about earlier. Not as good as Roast, since you're probably not going to be able to exile something turn 1. Touch of the Void has terrible art. On the contrary, Jaddi Offshoot's is beautiful. Natural Connection and Swell of Growth will see play as instant-speed landfall enablers. More likely the latter than the former. Hedron Blade has amazing flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yay really cheap Ingest outlets. I like the Blue and the Green one. Vestige of Emrakul is foreshadowing. Which is nice. Vile Aggregrate sounds like it'll be decent. Jaddi Offshoot seems ok. If only because the 0/4 walls saw some kind of control play, and a 0/3 one that's giving you life sounds aight as a result. Otherwise I really suck at evaluating cards.

Flame Dragon Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Pretty much all limited fodder. Only one Ally stood out to me as being a possible addition to an Ally deck. As is, they seem a fair bit weaker than the first set's Allies. Side from that I mostly try to figure out commander stuff on early spoilers and only the above Rites and this dude caught my eye. Could be a few more from the last batch of cards, but I'm not going to give it serious consideration until tonight since I'm going to FNM in a little.

A Blood Artist that dodges hexproof is no laughing matter in decks like Prossh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 A Blood Artist that dodges hexproof is no laughing matter in decks like Prossh. You would certainly play both. I'd still run Blood Artist first since he triggers off all creatures so keeps your opponents more honest, but redundancy on that effect seems really good. Also weird that Black has a life gain sub theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I meant an Emrakul Planeswalker card. Emrakul has no need for a spark so they wouldn't make him a planeswalker. Its something that comes up on Maro's blog every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I meant an Emrakul Planeswalker card. Emrakul can't be a planeswalker, though. I don't think she can have a spark. Also, she can already travel through the Blind Eternities: that's sorta the Eldrazi titans' gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 redst in peace a lot of goodies in this set. didja know expeditions lands are like, 200 at the cheapest? golden tickets good night, other tcg. see ya in c15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Am annoyed at the lack of red face-burn. Firstly it's because I can't close games in Limited like I used to. Secondly this means that Firecraft's not going to drop in price a lot. Not at least until Pro Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Looking over the spoiler I feel Red got the shortest end of the stick. Like, discounting the lands I can peg about 30 other cards as being standard playable so its not like the set be good for it. Not to mention the ally and eldrazi stuff might also be good enough but those are harder to judge. Even still though, almost none of the red cards feel playable in standard.
