Trebuchet MS Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 As a Thassa EDH player, I strongly approve of this! Don't mind me, just going to find a High Tide now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 My LGE said that OGW draft was more based on Two-Headed Giant (I think I heard that officially as well), so I figured it would have cards that say "teammate" on it. Turns out, I was not disappointed.I am disappointed that the wording isn't "If Crush of Tentacles was surged" (to be similar to kicked), but they might be try to emphasize that the Surge is an alternate cost while Kicker is an additional cost.The bounce is fairly priced. Costing 1 less if you cast a previous spell means 1 drop draw cards will be popular for getting additional value, and then it provides an 8/8 besides. Will be largely popular in Commander at least, but it still might be too expensive for Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Surge is mechanically more similar to prowl than anything else, so it would make sense to use similar wording. Also, this card is quite good. Doubt it is worth running in Damia, but still cool as funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Surge seems like an interesting mechanic. Curious what the common cards will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Surge seems like an interesting mechanic. Curious what the common cards will look like. Probably won't have the "If ~'s surge cost was paid" kicker. Straight forward cost reductions, I imagine. I'm a big fan of this mechanic. I've definitely designed mechanics very, very close to it before. I especially like it because, depending on context, it encourages both ramp and aggro strategies in different ways. Clever mechanic to put in this block where there are happy doses of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 My inner storm player is waiting for a 1 drop cantrip with surge for 2 that lets me draw 2. Come on, wotc, I believe in you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 My inner storm player is waiting for a 1 drop cantrip with surge for 2 that lets me draw 2. Come on, wotc, I believe in you Seeing as it's been stated that all surge costs are less than the regular costs, don't get your hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well, that's wasted design space. Give me a 4 drop divination that becomes a 2-drop, then. That could be uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hmm, methinks Oath might actually be leagues better than BFZ. Hoping that I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Doesn't a Crush usually imply more than one creature? If so, the flavor of this card is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Doesn't a Crush usually imply more than one creature? If so, the flavor of this card is off. It's an octopus's tentacles crushing a Kozilek spawn; I'm not seeing the problem here. Just like Crush of Wurms spawns multiple Wurms, Crush of Tentacles spawns multiple tentacles; those tentacles just happen to be attached to the same octopus.
