Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

oh heck yeah. it’s timeless dragon for common/uncommon IMO

 

[ravnic]

Well, I think this is Timeless Dragon for common/uncommon:



But yeah, the samurai's great.

 

[blacksmithy]

gosh that bird is so close to being decent

 

[LadyMapi]

Honestly, I think it's pretty alright in a low-power cube. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it's a cantrip that you can play as a 3/3 flyer from your graveyard.

 

[blacksmithy]

i just want either one mana knocked off somewhere or one more p/t. even some white combat ability. ANYTHING extra would make it playable for me

 

[ravnic]

I really want them to do emblam again. Preferably focused in this time. It's unfair that gets all the creature flashback variants.

i also really like embalm and eternalize, with one caveat - i do really enjoy that Disturb actually counts as casting a spell.

 

[ravnic]

That's true, and I liked disturb as well. But embalm didn't require more dfcs and the flavor was even better imo.

Don't mean to make fun of you, but this made me laugh because I immediately envisioned 'emblam' as a keyword in a superhero-inspired set XD

No no, an Emblam is what Deadeye Jace, the first gun-themed Planeswalker, makes when he ults.

Objection! Jace is already a pirate, he can't also be a cowboy. He has to share.

Objection! Pirates also used guns!

 

[LadyMapi]

Yes, but I submit that they did not do so while going around calling themselves Deadeye Dan Jace and wearing 10 gallon hats.

 

[sigh]

Pirate guns and Cowboys guns are a fundamentally different vibe. I cannot picture a Pirate in a situation where Big Iron is playing and actually making sense. Unless a Cowboy is also there.

Big Iron (Kamigawa Themed)

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Yes, but I submit that they did not do so while going around calling themselves Deadeye Dan Jace and wearing 10 gallon hats.

Ha! Case closed!

(I mean, they're not 10 gallon hats, but there's multiple pirate deadeyes with hats in MtG! )

number of guns present in those pictures: ~0

 

[Onderzeeboot]

So? There are also 0 cowboys in MtG! There are however 6 deadeye pirates in MtG, and four of them wear hats! Once guns gets introduced to Ixalan, I'm confident the number of hat-bearing, gun-toting, pirate deadeyes can only go up!

Wow, how rude. There are definitely cow boys (and girls) in MTG: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type:minotaur

 

[LadyMapi]

I doubt any of them were named Brawler, Rig-Hauler, Tormentor, or Tracker by their mothers, though.

 

[blacksmithy]

deadeye brawler’s sword appears to be a harpoon gun

 

[sigh]

And my potato cannon is equivalent to a Pirates cannon cannon

After playing it in NEO drafts, I am excited for this. A three mana 3/3 that mills you is exactly what those grindy dredge decks want to not get run over while starting their engines. But this has also potential in control decks. In (anticipated) long games, you can use this to mill them and then restock your library with gas while also having a decent blocker.

 

[ravnic]

I've never seen this one in any cube, despite being what seems like to be a awesome top end.



I do even have a mono color theme and the mono or heavy green decks are usually ramping quite a bit. I think this would easily draw 3-4 cards on average.

The question is, is this what you want from your 7-drop? I have a tendency to like cards that prefer drawing your whole deck instead of beating your opponent
