Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

[Onderzeeboot]

This one ain't for my cube (wrong colors), but it seems beyond great in an aggressive BR deck!

This looks fun

 

[Onderzeeboot]

This is cool! I've got my green mana ramp at cmc 2, and this doubles as a 3/5 Gilded Lotus in the mid to late game. Me likey!

 

[Velrun]

I wonder what those Gods are/were.

Yup those two 2-drops will 100 % see a lot of Riptide play!

 

[Karl]

T2 Priest of the forgotten Gods into T3 Lingering Souls. Oh, that really really does it for me.

 

[Chris Taylor]

We're approaching peak Mark Rosewater in this set, between the oozes and the puns

I do like this card though. It's quite vulnerable, but it grows horizontally and vertically, and triple green isn't too easy.

When will we get full spoiler? Tomorrow? Or on friday?

Is it just me or do most of the cards in this set feel like they were designed for Commander?

This does feel like the Commander 2018 product commander folks were promised but never delivered, doesn't it? And I do hope for the sake of limited, that enchantment removal is plentiful at common. There's still a lot of the set unspoiled so I'm still pretty hopeful given their past couple set designs.

Love some of the mechanics though and have a lengthy list of cube additions so can't complain. Also, whoever is in charge of Rakdos' flavor this set, somebody give them just the biggest cookie physically possible -- they deserve it.

Dominaria, Core 2019, and now both Ravnica sets have provided such a treasure trove of cube playables for lower and mid-powered lists, and I am just so, so happy to see the game on proper footing again after the multitude of missteps in the past few years

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, I loved the heck out of Kaladesh, Amonkhet, and even Ixalan for my cube, and then they released the crown jewel Dominaria!

 

[Velrun]

Does Jason still have that bounce value Demonic Pact deck?

(This is Cavalcade of Calamity)

 

[Chris Taylor]

Cheaper raid bombardment, nice.

Also that's just fun to say

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

Wow!! A fun rakdos gold card that isn't just a pure aggro card. This seems like it would fit great in those removal dense bolt/doomblade midrange decks. Trade some of their guys, then reanimate the best one.

Since it's until EoT, I'm not sure I'd want this in a pure removal deck. it'd just act like a player only burn spell, unless you hit something with a nonsense ETB trigger

Instant though, that etb creature can act as a surprise blocker! A pretty good one too with the +2 power!

oh neat!

Though, is the reward for a removal deck more removal?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

If you want a more permanent effect, there's always:



Also targets your own graveyard, so you don't need a cooperative opponent

Okay this wasn't the one I was thinking of, but I kinda like it:

However, for maximum spice:

Couple of interesting cards left.



Not sure that these are impactful enough, but the Goblin looks good with equipment. Very nice Raging Goblin variant. Undercity Scavenger puts a pretty big body on the board, that might just be good enough in combination with the scry 2. I have less faith in the other two, but thought their design was neat anyway.
