bury the year Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 [spoiler=Big images.] [spoiler=Text of cards.]Aven Mindcensor, Renewed Faith Unwavering Initiate 2W Creature - Human Warrior (Common) Vigilance Embalm 4W (4W, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie Human Warrior with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery.) 3/2 Prowling Serpopard 1GG Creature - Cat Snake (Rare) Prowling Serpapod can't be countered. Creature spells you cast can't be countered. The viziers serving Rhonas, the god of strength, maintain the menagerie of animals employed during his trials. 4/3 Initiate is fine for limited. Nothing more to say. Aven Mindcensor is a bit unexpected, since its glory days in Modern have well since past, but it makes me think that Wizards was worried enough about something in Standard to put a safety valve on it. Maybe Traverse the Ulvenwald? Despite it looking underwhelming in isolation (and baffling as an uncommon), Renewed Faith was a staple in the Onslaught-era Astral Slide. Let's hope that we get Slide itself. And Serpopard just makes green even better. Wonder why they thought this needed to be printed, considering Spell Queller, Summary Dismissal, and few other good counterspells exist in Standard. (But literal longcat!) Other note: white god is Oketra, red god is Hazoret, green god is Rhonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Holy sheet, Aven Mindcensor with awesome flavour text and art, and a frame that doesnt look atrocious. 4/3 for 3 is stupid as all hell, especially an uncounterable 4/3 for 3. I guess it dies to bolt, but we dont have that in Standard atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Mindcensor is a sweet reprint. It still costs a decent amount so having it in a standard set will make it available to whoever wants it. Also a sweet card to get for commander. Renewed Faith is a sweet reprint. Also really cool to see Gideon in this world since he has a history with the divine. Also, Oketra looks amazing. Cat Snake is sweet. Sucks that they are hurting counterspells, something that isn' even very good atm, but its a cat snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Sherpoptart is going right into the cube, Its as green as it gets except for you know, the cat-snake. That's more Simic's thing. Mindcensor is a nice reprint. Makes you wonder how relevant its ability will be in this standard or if its just a reprint for the sake of reprinting.

Cat snakes (or long necked cats) are actually a thing in egyption myth, so thats a thing. My guess is just for the sake of reprinting it. Even if it has applications I don't see them being that major. Personally I'd really like to have seen Containment Priest also be reprinted, but Mark has said the only invocations in the set proper are the gods and Mindcensor.
