The talismans aren't even that good in my environment. In the past 13 drafts, they have all together been maindecked 28 times and they only won 30 matches. That's barely a 1.07 match win rate. At the same time, my green ramp spells have been played 54 times and collected 82 wins, which is a 1.52...

No. If certain conditions are met; most importantly, greens ramp must be better (which can be achieved by being cheaper or more synergistic or more explosive). Second, it needs to be more plentiful (you should be able to build a ramp deck without mana rocks but not without green).

Yeah. I'll just test the Ojutai Exemplars and then we will go back to Tarkir in 10 months, fingers crossed that we get more white prowess support.

Cathar's Companion I've heard companions are broken. But I wonder if this one could even pull it's weight in a prowess deck.

It has been the new norm for me for years that my testing list for new sets is between 1 and 5 cards. Modern Horizons sets used to be an exception, but this one isn't. Themes like energy and eldrazi/colorless and the presence of dfcs made many cards unappealing for me. Many of my hopes for this...

I think the previous version was much more elegant and cooler.

But it only works in mutiplayer

I mean, how much of a target does it really need? Even if gets back some random 2-drop for a free attack/sacrifice (twice) while being a 3/2 flier that dies into a 2/1 flier, that's already a lot of value, isn't it?

Puppeteer Clique To what degree does this scale with the environment?

Territory Culler I like this card. See, on a green 5-drop that doesn't generate immediate value and isn't even guaranteed to do so next turn, I'm fine with slightly pushed stats. It might be just what I wanted for the landfall card I was looking for. It rewards you for having was to reliably...

They are like a pretty good planeswalker, coming down and immediately generatingabout a card worth of value, then continue to snowball your opponent out of the game, if they can't find a removal spell asap. And I have ptbs playing against them in retail draft.

That is a great point! I've done this in a very careful fashion here and there and it really works. Quality is more effective than quantity if you want people to draft something.

More and more often these days I find myself excluding cards that would be really cool synergie cards because they also come with kinda pushed base stats (catering to 40 life formats much?). I've considered this guy, and if it was a 3/2 or maybe didn't have menace, I would add it, but as it...

Spirited Companion Good boy here to remind you that enchantment creatures are a thing too.

I'm just a little scared it would ruin some drafter's day :p Serious question though: Are the Exemplars better than Leonin Lightscribe ?

It's a great design. It's obviously good on turn one, but unlike other landfall cards, it isn't a horrible topdeck late, because then you can probably just activate it for the full amount and get something great back.

But what if they don't have a removal spell at their hands right now? A 4/4 first strike, lifelink, if it was just that, is very punishing in a lower powered cube like mine.

I'm kinda glad it doesn't since I am already on the fence whether it is too good or just fine for my cube :P

Ojutai Exemplars How good is this card? I am scared it's a little too much for a cube running Gravedigger and similarly powered cards in a 4-drop slot.
