If the next block is a return to sensible, I imagine we'll see Chandra there.
Starcraft would stand the test much better if the graphics weren't an eyesore (sorry, nostalgia fiends) and the controls weren't terribly unwieldy.
Well here's a weird fucking card
#uncommonanthem
Prowess is similar to heroic, but different. Compared to heroic, the main downside is that you only get a +1/+1 boost for a turn, not a +1/+1 counter. But there are also upsides: you are not limited to spells that merely target your own creatures, and any single spell can pump multiple prowess creatures.
The main thing is that prowess works well with noncreature spells like Thoughtseize, Lightning Strike, Banishing Light, Hero's Downfall, and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. This enables richer deck building options than with heroic creatures. Card draw spells work well with prowess, too. I would have loved to combine Jeskai Elder with Preordain or Brainstorm, but in Standard we unfortunately have to make do with Dragon Mantle, Stratus Walk, Sign in Blood, and Divination. Stratus Walk is actually kind of sweet on Jeskai Elder.
The other good news is that prowess is triggered by bestow. Following up a turn-two Jeskai Elderwith a turn-three Mogis's Warhound results in a decently-sized creature that can bash throughCourser of Kruphix. Add Herald of Torment, and you have assembled a formidable evasive threat. And remember: every time it connects, you get to loot and improve your hand, fueling the flow of non-creature spells.
Another nice aspect of prowess is the bluffing value. Suppose you are on the play and have played a turn-two Jeskai Elder. Your opponent, in the meantime, has had a powerful start with Elvish Mystic on turn one and Sylvan Caryatid plus Elvish Mystic on turn two. You then attack with your 1/2 into his 0/3. What is your opponent supposed to do here? If he blocks, then you might have two instant-speed removal spells for both of his Elvish Mystics, triggering prowess twice, and taking down the Sylvan Caryatid for free. But he doesn't block, then you get a free hit. It's a tough call.
I consider Starcraft 2 to be a considerable improvement, but there are those that consider that to be sacrilegious. As for "who cares", I, as a player, care. That should count for something.
Gameday promos are kind of a toss-up. There have been plenty of both great and awful. I don't hate the guy, though. Deathtouch is great.
I have accepted that I am the only person who hates clones.
its probably not good, but I love the text "X + 2" on a blaze
