[MtG] [SOI] Daily Spoilers - March 23


Recommended Posts

Thoughts on today's spoilers:

 

Scourge Wolf is very Ash Zealot-y, but not having haste hurts. I don't think the sort of RDW brew that would want these stats will be able to trigger delirium readily, so not sure how good this puppy will be.

 

Prized Amalgam is unexciting. Does nothing without other reanimator effects, of which we've seen precious few so far. Even if you get to bring it back, him coming in tapped doesn't let you stave off attackers. Hopefully we see something like undying come around in Eldritch Moon as a more consistent enabler.

 

Inexorable Mass feels like a slightly-shittier Pack Rat. An absolute bomb in Limited.

 

All of the Vessels seems pretty good, or at least not unplayable. White is obviously the strongest, but both blue and green are decent delirium enablers (green more so). I guess black is designed to put the final knife in your opponent when they're running out of gas, but it doesn't help when you're behind.I also like the reference to phrenology on the blue vessel, though, and "paramnesia" is the medical term for delusions wherein one confuses fact and fantasy. One of my favorite commons in terms of flavor so far.

 

Gitgud Toad is... interesting. Definitely not made for Constructed, but in EDH he's a house of a commander. Seems very Titania-esque, but instead of the raw power she presents, he's more of a very stable resource engine. Combine that with Life from the Loam and a dredge engine... that'd be gross. I think I'll throw him into Karador/Meren: he needs testing but he could promise to be very powerful. (Also, note that you only get one draw per instance.)

 

And that art in the Uncharted Realms makes me start to question whether our big bad for the block is even one we already know. The cultist with the bulging eyes seems too fish-like for either Emrakul or Marit Lage.

 

EDIT: A blue-green creature named Alter Ego is being spoiled piecemeal over Twitter now.

The number of times this Geralf dude has been mentioned makes me want to see what he'd be as a card, now. Also...

 

'is glancing at Altered Ego' If that had somehow gotten flash (which I don't think is gonna happen in this format), that grabbing the effect of any Gideon with the ability to become a creature temporarily would be a wee on the scary side. But that's neither here nor there. (I ain't fully awake yet.)

Poor wolfy. :(

 

Amalgam is WAY to slow. Would have considered it for Sedris if it came back right away.

 

OOZE!!!!!

 

The Green Vessel seems SWEET. Reminds me of Grisly Salvage and I love that card. The other 3 all seem decent in limited, but the green one I think is close to constructed level.

 

The frog seems very good for dredge EDH. Thats about it.

 

Creation seems solid. Lots of card selection thanks to the may.

 

Ego feels like a card they would have made before.

 

I love the art on survive the night. Card even implies she makes it.

 

I hate the uncommon Smite the Monstrous.

 

Stitchwing seems better than Master Piece imo. Smaller, but easier to recur.

This seems solid in limited.

Why is this worse than Creeping Renaissance? That was a rare. Like, this just feels rare. Gah, last mythic too. Yea, the mythics in the set feel pretty underwhelming for me.

Right. I kept counting one of the DFC for the 15.

 

It isn't? This doesn't really even do the same thing. I mean, if you only have creatures or lands in grave, and they all share a CMC, then it is worse, but that really isn't an applicable situation.

Yea, I might have been too harsh on it. I still feel like in most cases your going to get back mostly creatures with this, but getting back instants and sorceries is a nice thing. My initial reaction was from me thinking about places I'd play it and realizing I'd rather just play Creeping.
