Well... 2 toughness is infinitely better than 1, and this is pretty much exactly what the color is about, so you're reinforcing the color pair's identity nicely. That said, I'ld play a second Figure of Destiny over the first Honored Crop-Captain for sure :)

That's what I thought at first, but that 4th toughness is critical I think. Look at it this way. It's pretty trivial to get two instants and sorceries into your graveyard in UR, right? What would you rather play, a 2/3 flying, trample for three mana, or a 2/4 flying for three mana? First one...

Full set's up! http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/card-image-gallery/amonkhet?

It's because of the rules text of embalm. Embalm {X} means "{X}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie <other creature types> with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery." So, because all of the other embalm tokens have no mana...

This is a clone I can get behind!

I like that change!

I "broke" the bank and crafted 2 Preparations, 2 Counterfeit Coins and 2 Mimic Pods to build a budget Miracles deck since I opened Edwin VanCleef as my legendary for the starter bundle recently, and my daily quest asked me to play 15 combo cards. MY GOD THIS DECK IS FUN! I made a 6/6 Edwin on...

Start {2}{w} Instant Create two 1/1 white Warrior creature tokens with vigilance. // End {2}{b} Sorcery Aftermath As an additional cost to cast End, sacrifice a creature. Destroy target creature Gosh, this is pretty cute. And delirium is a theme in my {w/b} section as well. Guess I have to run...

Hoooooooooooly crap! This is channeling my inner Johnny hard! "When Bloodfury Militant enters the battlefield, discard a card." Not even at random! This looks like a pretty powerful turn 2 drop!

Realm Razer is totally playable in my experience, but... it doesn't get picked often. I really wish they'ld give Naya a more interesting identity than "we <3 big creatures" (viz. Mayael the Anima). That stuff just doesn't work in cubes as a theme (I've tried). I love the mechanics on cards like...

meglonoth Realm razer Rith, the awakener

At first I was like, sweet, maybe we finally get a playable Naya card! Then I was like, no, that's not the interesting design I was looking for...

Huh. There's a 5/3 Jetting Glasskite for {3}{U}{U} with embalm {5}{U}{U} in Amonkhet. That sounds nasty o_O I remember how hard the Glasskite was to interact with, now imagine something a mana cheaper that kills in 4 turns instead of 5 and that comes back after you dealt with it once...

It's a very solid hate card, to be sure, but it's also a measly 2/2 that's easy to remove. Awesome design for constructed (especially older formats), and it may even be playable in cube.

I never dusted Loatheb, but I've never played wild either, so he's just sitting in my collection doing not much. It's pretty likely that I'll have to resort to wild for some of the daily quests now though, since I've got no decent options for paladin, rogue, warrior, warlock, druid, and hunter...

How important is Loatheb in wild? It pops up in about every slower decklist I see. What's the best time to play it?

I'm glad Wizards is finally realizing that drawbacks are in fact not mandatory for red Grizzly Bears, and that the world won't collapse if you put rules text on there that actually helps the player!

Not really though, as she will die immediately when you cast her for two.

I believe someone was asking for a good black five drop too recently!

Is that 5/5 from the rogue quest? That's a sick burgle!
