^Agree. I would fuck up a mascot on national television.

Mana base is fine, not great. You get to cast all your non green spells on time and (mostly)on curve.

Is the Splash worth it? Mistcutter hydra and Xenagos are good cards that are absent and probably deserve inclusion in the 75. On top of that there's half a set remaining to be spoiled, so I'm optimistic.

[TBuzzsaw]

4 Color tokens? Girl, you crazy.

[TBuzzsaw]

Bloodstained Hero can't block.

Raid: [mana]1B[/mana]: Return a Bloodstained Hero from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate this ability only if you attacked with a creature this turn.


The translation is unconfirmed, but I wonder if a copy has to be on the field for the Raid to work, or you can bring it back from the graveyard even if you don't have a copy on the battlefield.

[Alex]

Wow that card is fucking retarded.

[Alex]

There's no way that's the right translation for that.

[LP, of the Fires]

That's correct. I think card is good, not ZOMG BUSTED though.

I mean, I'll definitely play it, but I'm assuming it's not as good as Soldier of the Pantheon. It DOES combo nicely with purphoros.

[RedNihilist]

Is this real?

We're going to have to disagree here. I don't know if you've ever played with Bloodghast, but this card is almost as good as that, and Bloodghast is REALLY good.

[LP, of the Fires]

Card is nowhere near as good as bloodghast. Ghast had situational haste and was recurable by simply playing magic.

This card is a solid one-drop that requires actual mana spent to recur. It's still good, but it's not busted.

Having to attack is also a mostly marginal but real cost in addition to the fact that you have to recur on your turn and not instant speed like ghast with fetches.

That thing is ridiculous if it's real.

[LP, of the Fires]

Now THAT'S a stupid magic card!

I remember Gravecrawler...

Heyyyy a multicolor card I actually want to play in Riku.

My brew time would start when all cards are spoiled. I really like this set as I love 4 color decks.

I think core color would be white. Red probably splash only for rabblemaster/purphoros/ascendancy/charm. Cant discard blue (charms are awsome, along with potential negates and epharas) and green (charms, ascendancy, xenagos). I will have to work hard on manabases - I think I will use those tri-lands a lot.

And Soldier of the Pantheon is going to be huge.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Three years of black having better 1 drops than white or red lol.

[Dechs Kaison]

Yeah. Finally back to fucking normal around here.

[Dechs Kaison]

Also, just noticed the friendly fetches are being reprinted. This is good for my Zedruu deck.

[Purp]

Jsilv drops a sweet article today. Mono Black aggro looks really appealing.

not really a fan of enchantment creatures in a format where End Hostilities will be the go-to sweeper.

[Purp]

Agreed there. But I think mogis marauder will be pretty awesome in the format. Also, the bloodsoaked warrior has some great syngergy with the Butcher.

[rcwraspy]

Well, of course we'll have to see how it all plays out but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Marauder was actually much weaker in the new format. Remember, we're getting 3 full clans whose creatures will have B in their mana costs (Mardu, Abzan, Sultai). That could mean a lot less intimidate goodness.

[TBuzzsaw]

Marauder and crew are going to be awful if Abzan aggro/midrange takes off. They won't be intimidating Goat Lady and rhino anytime soon.

[BlakLanner]

Something tells me I am not going to like this Standard much more than the last. I hate battlecruiser Magic.

[Kaitscralt]

I think Alex is thinking the one drop an recur any creature with his name? Way to take the translation literally...

[Pedros]

Black/X agro looks quite good.

Question if it can handle Caryatid and X/4 for 3 and X/5 for 4. Imediate answer -> not really currently. Cant see any 2 mana removal spell that does it, or any combat tricks similar to makka. Best answer? Fly over or go wide.

[Pedros]

Dont have a single Mana Confluence. Would you buy them for 15$ each?

[Alex]

Going to do a few run Cubetutor drafts on my cube and Suga's cube.

Picked them up with FNM prize money at $8 when Khans was announced.

Sweet brag but would you buy them at $15?

[Valdarith]

I don't think they will be lower than $15 for awhile. I'd be confident in buying if I needed them.

Spiteful Returned, Agent of The Fates, Ruthless Ripper, ...

I don't know but splashing white might not be that bad of an idea considering we get Athreos, the new Sorin, Utter End and Suspension Field (maybe Banishing Light too) as excellent additions to the list.

Man, if only they had reprinted Xathrid Necromancer...

some mono black aggro decks have played Boon of Erebos.

This set will also provide Murderous Cut and Crackling Doom to help black/Mardu get through fatty blockers.

[Valdarith]

They kinda did reprint Necromancer.

[Valdarith]

WOTC playing with my emotions. RUG was looking awesome, then I liked Jeskai, and now Mardu looks pretty enticing.

[rcwraspy]

I want to play something that has Rabblemaster because army in a can. And the Butcher looks like a solid magic card with decent synergy with Rabblemaster. And now the black one-drop looks solid as well and ALSO has synergy with the Butcher. So I'm all-in on Mardu.

[rcwraspy]

just need to figure out the 2-drop spot.

If you plan to play multicolour, yes. If you want to force mono colour, no. Or you could force mono at the beginning of the season and punish people who don't have their decks worked out to collect prize money
and buy confluences.
