Avatar of Discord, maybe? It's always been an oddball card, but if your madness theme is heavily supported, it could actually be decent. Maybe.

I love that effect! With a bit more of an aggressive take, you could give that some real flavor as a sorcery. Something like... "Utter Obliteration" 4{c}{c} Choose artifact, creature, enchantment or planeswalker. Each player sacrifices all permanents they control of the chosen type, then...

If you're running high-powered cards, nothing says 'this is ramp and you will taste it' better than upheaval.

lol and I thought you were responding to me. My bad as well. Loving that Permeating Mass! Not quite sure what to do with it, but it's hilarious!

I know, but every additional piece for a combo makes it more consistent in draft. Having another piece to draft in addition to Misthollow Griffin is a nice little boost.

I do actually like the printing of Scourge. It makes another style of combo deck (food chain combo) more consistent in draft. It's not quite at Kikki/Twin level (2/2 piece split w/ resto angel+kikki being a minor third, to this 2/1 piece split), but it's got 3 pieces, so it's close. I'm always...

I'm pretty sure that in general, wotc's development have been very careful with madness so far in these sets. It was previously cited as an 'unlikely to return' mechanic based on power level, and I am sure they felt they were forced into adding the mechanic in this block for flavor reasons, etc...

Maro has said in the past in some of his developmental podcasts that the dev. team overall considered madness a 'mistake' in terms of how powerful a mechanic it was. He additionally noted that they were highly unlikely to bring it back. Obviously, they did, but I'm not surprised that they were...

Reminds me of Second rite. Glad to see this as rare and not mythic :p

Yeah, I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said about Sin Prodder... just wanted to chime in that it's my second favorite card in the set, right after Thing in the Ice.

At the moment: Archangel Avacyn instead of Baneslayer Angel (Baneslayer needs a downgrade in my cube) Arlinn Kord instead of either Huntsmaster of the Fells (direct upgrade) or BBE. Olivia, weird and bad name instead of... not really sure yet Anguished Unmaking instead of Utter End. Thing in...

The best argument for nameless inversion is always Haakon, the stromgald scourge!

Reminds me of Sorin Markov... but better. The fact that he can kill opposing planeswalkers is pretty huge. I think I'm probably gonna stick with Lord of Innestrad for now.

Depends on the cube, I'd say? I wouldn't hate this as a secondary win condition in, say, a Lab Maniac style deck. There are certainly self-mill enablers such as dread summons that exist to give this card some punch. I could see it in a middling-power GY cube.

I've heard that this is mistranslated. They enter tapped. I can't actually read Japanese, so grain-of-salt, but fair warning.

I don't really have a problem with more Jaces; provided that they aren't boring. (e.g Vryn's prodigy is an interesting take on his mechanics.) I was hoping from the trailer mentioning his corruption and from the original promo art that Jace would be U/B in this set, but instead they went with...

I'm busy trying to figure out if I can play this new Olivia in my cube. There's no +1/+1 synergy, but there is GY weenies, and I already have Alesha...

Pretty much, yeah. SaffronOlive's video quadrupled the price of the deck that it's featured in. Ironic, no?

This may replace Huntmaster for me. We'll see, I'm on edge about her being too strong atm.

Alright, so... is Arlinn Kord as good as I think she is? Halp.
