    Pyre Hound has been much better for me than it's base statline would indicate. The trample is not irrelevant either, so that's another point in favor of the Hound. But yeah, it should be relatively easy to get Spellgorger Weird to a 4/4, which is crazy good for a common three drop in red!

    Holy crap! A white and improved Thrummingbird! That's actually really, really playable in white! I feel this blue common is also pretty nice: And is this the Demonic Pact-synergy we've been waiting for?: No... no, I'm pretty sure it isn't :) Lastly, hella cool vehicle...

    We don't actually see Liliana get completely dusted, and we have this spoiler! I'm guessing she survives in the end, arms intact, or why make a cycle with "<Planeswalker's> Triumph" as the name convention? Is it really a cycle? Well... we already have this card in the official visual spoiler...

    I agree, to an extent. There are certainly a lot of planeswalkers that are absoluty too powerful in my cube and would take over almost any game they were cast in, but that does not mean the planeswalker card type inherently leads to ruined games. In fact, I run multiple planeswalkers that are...

    Original Ravnica full block draft wants to have a word with you :P

    Okay, fair enough, I should have been more specific. In my mind I was obviously not referring to one turn teamwide lifelink effects like Azorius Charm, and I fully agree those aren't necessarily miserable (although Tenacity certainly was backbreaking more than once at my local prerelease)...

    And he is in two colors instead of one. And he can be killed by combat damage instead of needing artifact or enchantment removal. Yeah, I'm not saying he's just as good as the Whip, just that teamwide lifelink is miserable :)

    When Krenko attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it, then create a number of 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens equal to its power. Wow, that gets out of hand fast. And that's not counting Bonesplitters and other stuff! o_O

    Actually, when you "flashback" Burst Lightning with this, you can pay for the kicker cost! I agree this card looks sweet, but I have absolutely no idea what red two drop I'ld want to cut for this! Like, almost every card in that slot is a cog in some archetype, and I don't know that I really...

    This seems preeeeetty nice! We've come a long way since Erg Raiders!

    That was my gut feeling too, but on the other hand, The Wanderer might have some more applications. Temur Reclamation needs to deal with the Wanderer first, because it shuts down all their win conditions. Sultai has a lot of recursion and big threats, and the Wanderer gives you two exile...

    Let's! So... which of these two is more annoying to deal with for mono red aggro in standard?

    It's a green blue card, and that's what people will see at first glance. You can't reason the colors away, even if it's easier to cast than a regular gold spell ;)

    Because I do run, for example, a Gruul section, and including a Simic card, even if it is hybrid, will be confusing for drafters. Also, it would really, really stick out like a sore thumb.

    No idea if this is legit. This just popped up on mtgs. That's pretty cool! Exiles Niv-Mizzet and protects against Expansion // Explosion :P

    Oh man, Kiora looks so cool! I... How... I DON'T CUBE {G/U} CARDS! At first I was like, it's okay, I still love you Mystic Snake. I'm not missing much else. Then they printed Tatyova, Benthic Druid, and I was like: "NOOOOOO!" And now this? Come on Wizards! Quit luring me into having to do a...

    Watched this match from the Mythic Invitational live. Goodness gracious what an epic game 3 between Savjz and kanister in the semi-final! Timestamp link to the 3rd game below the vid. with timestamp

    No, actually. I was looking for a second black wrath at the time, but I didn't want to run Damnation because it's a 4 mana wrath. Ironically, my search for an alternative ended with me adding a four mana card after all in Phyrexian Scriptures :) Consign // Oblivion has been my Dimir aftermath...
