Dies to Removal

F.I.A

So the Doom Engine is the equivalent of Wurmcoil Engine in the titan cycle? Okay.

F.I.A

Got 10 THS boosters, but not sure if I should be selling them out for tickets when they are 2.84 each. Guess I will wait longer.

F.I.A

Also just smashed a Modern tournament playing a heroic deck, lol. Fabled Hero is pretty good when you have Phyrexian combat tricks.

[card]Apostle's Blessing[/card]?

F.I.A

So I heard of this M15 prelease being free or something? Anyone mind filling me about this?

F.I.A

That's pretty nasty anti red aggro right there.

I wonder about that. If only Blasphemous Acts is still around.

Anyway, I tried to log into MTGO, but apparently my ver 3.0 is cooked. So I have to make use of the ugly beta client now?

F.I.A

Sliver turning back to something non-humanoid? I can get behind that.

F.I.A

Happy birthday, redthirst. Some odd coincidence for many birthed in April?

F.I.A

After giving it further reevaluation, I suppose it does have its use against particular decks like red since they don't have a way to deal with it profitably. Perhaps more as a sideboard card.

F.I.A

Wait, Master of the Feast is supposed to be good? I understand Bloodgift Demon, but what good is a fast clock when it gives your opponent more options?

F.I.A

@NerdBoyWonder: Is this real? If it is, I think some silly red demon of a planeswalker is slitting his wrist, since this one is way playable than him.

F.I.A

I suppose I can still play it in block set.

F.I.A

As far as I can see, the red Strive cards are good. Possible double Heat Shimmer or Act of Treason? I know I will get a playset of them both.

F.I.A

It's not often to get 6 lands in a red, but yeah, it's nice to have options.

Looking at those other fonts, I expected to see Seal of Fire returning. A little disappointed.

F.I.A

Why can't I hold all these flavas?

F.I.A

You guys do remember that we all rocked a 2/2 for 4 CMC double strike at one time, right? Granted it did have undying, but hey....you never what the metagame will turn out to be a year from now. Isn't there a quasi stonewright guy in this block too? Everflame Eidolon . Granted, it's not as good as ...

F.I.A

EDIT: Worth the mythic slot? Huh, you think so? I hated the flame chicken too. Imho This is equally bad. 1) Flamespeaker has an ability that is currently only available on a mythic for red. 2) It actually has something to help it getting through some damage (Double-strike and Trample. Usually red w...

F.I.A

Is an off-color Ophidian bad right now? Only time will tell.
It isn't Ophidian. You don't draw the card, you have to use it that turn.

It isn't, but that blue card doesn't get you two cards either. It definitely is worth the mythic slot than some flaming chicken in previous expansion.

F.I.A

Is an off-color Ophidian bad right now? Only time will tell.

F.I.A

All the flamespeaker need is a [card]Madcap's Skill[/card] to wreak havoc. Also, a butt of 3 means it can tank a lot of damage (Pharika's cure, Drown etc). It's definitely a better red 3cc doublestriker than what we have gotten for these recent years.

Also, happy birthday, windstrider!

F.I.A

Aww, that will make grandpa Shivan proud.

F.I.A

The Eidolon will have applications against decks that pukes out cheap creatures like MUD. Since they cannot remove it, they will be taking 2 damage for practically anything they drop (Except for Jace and the bident). Against control, it will be removed instantly since having it around put a clock on...

F.I.A

Oddly enough, this seems more interesting than the enchantment. Yes, it dies to removals, but not without taking 2 life. The card itself is personification of red itself. They don't mind playing with fires to hurt others. Seems to be an excellent hoser to MUD, since it doesn't have a good way to rem...

F.I.A

Yeah, not as cool as the hound of some demon, but I wonder if there is a need for a more feasible Furor of the Bitten.

F.I.A

Right, I misread the card. I thought you can draw another new card if you reveal and draw the land.

F.I.A

Godsend is like the Sword of X and Y cycle, except completely awful.

But zem, the dual elements swords are bad comparisons since they're bonkers to begin with.

F.I.A

Well, I suppose they were right. It's actually a Lightning Strike for an ability, but a rather tricky one. If I am reading this right, this will make you - Draw a card, if you reveal land (Your actual draw is still concealed) - Bolt something, if you reveal a non-land (Your actual draw is revealed) ...

F.I.A

Considering MBC has no use of him, I can see Pain Seer dropping more in the future. It would have been much different if his cost was [mana]bb[/mana].

F.I.A

So, BNG is Kamigawa bad?

Even with better options, Hellrider just doesn't look like a bad card. Not like Rubblebelt Raiders sort of bad.

F.I.A

It never occurred to me that Hellrider is a trash card when it's first spoiled, though. Of course, I'm one guy who won't be bothered to get himself Hero of Oxid Ridge.

F.I.A

I'm actually curious in how this will play out.

Will this be the new Stonewright? Bestow usually costs twice the actual amount, so this actually looks attractive. At least it wasn't a Satyr Rollicker.

F.I.A

If it had a power of 2, it would be a little too good. As long as it lives and you have burns, the board will be easily cleared for him to swing.

And let's not forget when you have more than one of them in play. *shudder*

F.I.A

Satyr Firedancer and Searing Blood are made for each other. The thought of burning two creatures and a player for just 4 is downright gravy.

I personally think the Firedancer just might be the next thing. It just screams presence, and your opponent just cannot ignore it.

F.I.A

Oracle of Bones is a fixed Bloodbraid Elf . Unlike the one before it, it doesn't net you a card for your trouble. However, the treat of any sorcery/instant is indeed gravy. Unless you have no card in hand, seems like you will be getting a 5/3 haste for 4 most of the time. A rather good bargain, in f...

F.I.A

Red actually might be slightly better versus the meta, as one can speculate that the increasing power of black will hate blue devotion out of the meta to a degree. Red will still fold to superior mass removals like Drown in Sorrow, though. Most of the red dudes are */2s at most, not to mention thei...

F.I.A

Yeah, with Infest coming back, Pyro might not be as ideal after BNG. Sure, there is Anger of gods, but red doesn't have a 6/6 flier to beat your face with.

F.I.A

@ Searing Blood: Oh look. A reverse [card]Pharika's Cure[/card] It will have as much use as the aforementioned card, or perhaps a little more for being 3 damage to the dome. I will like the feeling when I burn off an opposing Phoenix and get mine back with just [mana]rr[/mana] at instant speed. Of c...

F.I.A

Regrettably our dragon rare for this set is another bin card... Forgestoker Dragon 4 :symr: :symr: Creature - Dragon Flying 1 :symr: : Forgestoker Dragon deals 1 damage to target creature. That creature can't block this combat. Activate this ability only if Forgestoker Dragon is attacking. 5/4 Some...

F.I.A

The main gods need four more mana to activate (5 - 1 = 4). These lesser gods need 5 mana instead (7 - 2 = 5).

F.I.A

_______What I will be getting most of the time_____________What I wanted it to be

F.I.A

No comparison. VD sucked because the opponent could take damage and you got zip in terms of board position. The phoenix is an evasive creature on either side of Tribute. The question the opponent has is clock vs. recurrence...they have a creature to deal with one way or the other. While a 5/5 is in...
