And a card! It replaces itself! This is bananas! It's a great signpost for UW flying that's not a lord, though.

You know, I was down on White for not getting new toys this set originally, but between Usher of the Fallen, Reidane, God of the Worthy, and now this, I'm very excited. Like, look at this bird. I'd have settled for a 1/1 first strike flyer, but this is even better, though the difference will be...

It's a great combo with Stuffy Doll from a few pages back, that's for sure. But beyond that...butts tribal? Enrage? Really aggressive decks in the late game with a bunch of potential trades on the board? Specific death triggers that you want to activate? It's worth noting that it's not "until...

Oh yeah, that was a good one! Dennis is a great name, but...he has trample, not menace. That's absolutely reasonable about Rhino being better on average than Angry Emo Angel in an environment in which people can be expected to have Doom Blade. I feel like I need to host a round table...

1) Is it? I honestly don't know, I've never played a Rhino. They're pretty damn good, but a Serra Angel + Removal + A Double-Striking Serra Angel seems pretty good too. 2) The rhino is named Dennis???

That's really good to know about the bots! And good to know that the top end is attractive enough. I've been wondering about the number of burn spells--by my last count I had 13, and lost one in this update, so maybe you getting 6 can be written off as an anomaly, what with the bots...

Hey Japahn, That was quick! I really appreciate the draft. I've noticed that both you and TrainmasterGT have drafted Boros control at various times. Why did you draft it? Did it seem exceptionally powerful? Did Boros aggro not come together? Are my gold cards especially control-focused? Or did...

Big Day Out Update--Commander Legends and Early Kaldheim My draft group is taking a swing at my cube on the 16th, so I'm dusting all the corners and carefully arranging my coffee table books. This will be the first time I have a group of real, live human beings playtest the cube, so I want...

Would this also work well? I have no experience with Unity of Purpose, but this always seemed fun to me. Cards + combat trick is nice. Inspiring Call

Uh, just want to point out, Unleash costs {2}{W}{W} and Serra Angel is {3}{W}{W} for the exact same body (token-based effects aside). This is WAY better than Serra Ange, and if you discount the Foretell cost of {2}, you can get TWO Serra Angels for the PRICE of ONE! Seems bonkers to me, I'm...

I will run Mammoth Growth for the flavor text alone. Also, the Rakdos saga looks sweet, I agree. Also also, I think that in some ways even just having one Foretell card in a color can still have mind games associated with it. Once the mono-Green foretells something, if you only have Mammoth...

Oh, absolutely, but a) it hadn't been mentioned this time yet and b) I don't know anyone else who actually runs as many as I do--I'm not joking when I say I run 10 of them, and I'm also not joking when I say you should at least consider running a bunch of them. In fact, let's make this...

Unfortunately, I think Trainmaster is right on Hokori. I do the exact same thing with bicycles and horizon lands, Velrun! And, I have a solution to wanting the cycling lands. May I present to you: Ash Barrens I run 10 of them, which may be overkill, but they're good, albeit mediocre...

I actually think that making this cost 1 mana on the critical turn makes it a lot scarier, and is an incredible tool for Heroic or Prowess decks. Uncaged Fury requires 3 mana on a single turn, and 3 is a lot more than 1. I expect this will lead to a disproportionate number of blowouts because...

Honestly, if Abzan didn't have better things to be doing, I think it could be a good home for Legends thanks to the following cards. It might work as a subtheme for Abzan? It's cool that WotC seems to be going in this direction in the last few years, as it would go a ways towards giving Legends...

Oh, sure! My apologies for the huge images, but the art is so beautiful in high-res. Here, we have the showcase frames for Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Eldraine, and Theros Round 2: Elspeth's Revenge. The ZNR frame has a couple neat things going for it, namely changing up the shape of the frame...

The art looks fantastic, thanks for sharing the hi-res photos, Vel! However, I can't help but feel that one of the names sticks out like a sore thumb and that the following must have happened. WOTC Employee #1: Okay, we've got a plane about Vikings. What do we call the plane where the gods...

Okay, so you weren't just being flip when you told me to write it to WOTC. My apologies for assuming that. I'll do that too, but not until I've actually gotten my hands on the cards and tried them. Once again, I may very well just need personal exposure to Foretell to appreciate it. However, I...

Sure, I hear that it's not helpful for you, and I understand that WOTC isn't going to suddenly errata their newest set because Zoss is a little disappointed. But the point of my post was explicitly that we are not expressing opinions on WOTC's actions with the purpose of convincing them to...
