    I bet 10$ that there won't be a cheap (2 or less cmc), playable minotaur in Red. Screw that, i'd bet 1000$.

    And if we get a red planeswalker, i'd bet it sucks. And if we got a red chaos enchantment, it will cost 4RRR and be casual random shit as always.

    Otoh, I still pity that I didn't hoard the Didgeridoos when Changelings were introduced in LRW.

    I doubt we're getting another red Planeswalker so fast, considering red got a "good" walker in M14. Elspeth is going to be white again. We'll habe to wait and see about the other two.

    @Bed Decks Palyer: That's a God card.

    MaRo said he hated the Legendary lands because any additonali copy you have in you hand/draw is dead. That's why they changed the legend-rule to Print Legendary Lands again.

    New chandra didn't see Standard play the first two weeks from releas. It'd be hilarious if it end as a 10$ junk mithic again

    10$ bought duals once. I remember bitching because they costed 3$

    Have you bothered to read the textbox of the card? It costs 3 generic to activate. It can be put in play in the first turn, but it costs as much as a S&T to activate, and if you want to cast and use it in the same turn, it's even more expensive.

    What he mean it's that a much, much harder to answer it since you play it on T1 and can generate mana advantage all game long like a vial. It's more comparable to a vial than a SnT, unless they print some truely broken 10 mana minotaurs. But if the most they print are 5-6 cmc ones, Digeridoo act like a pseudo-vial that need mana but is faster for larger creatures.

    It would be so satisfying to see her fail, especially after Maro acting so smug about her being so amazing.

    Digeridoo is just one-sided, which is a big plus. But seriously, they would need to print a bunch of broken Minotaurs to make it remotely useful. S&T is still going to be better.

    Except that it really really shouldn't be compared to and used like S&T, because it really really is Minotaurus Vial. /didgeridoo

    You play didgeridoo, turn two cast standstill. Turn 3 vial in a minotaur. Profit.

    Flying + Islandwalk is a BIT redundant ;)

    Great so its a vial that that you have to pay for and is extremly limited in scope.

    its like a mix of both cards really. Here's why. Its like aether vial because it cost 1 and is an artifact. its like Show and tell because it cost 3 to activate... COINCIDENTALLY show and tell has a CMC of 3, imagine that? Additionally if you are playing a horde of minotaurs that curve out very low like merfolk aethervial is better cause you dont have to pay to activate it. If you are playing a bunch of minotuars that are very high CMC and expecting to cheat them into play, Show and tell is better casue it doesnt get pithing needled, or gripped. If you are planning to activate it the turn you cast it you are now looking at comparing it to Sneak attack, except it doesnt give the creature haste and you dont sacrifice it.

    There are going to have to be some godly minotuars for this to be used over all of the other options.
    Play 4 Card Blind!

    With flying you may block Hypnotic Specter and with islandwalk you have no fear that the opponent gang-blocks your Minokul with double Jokulmorder. Worldspine Wurm, however, still remains a bit troublesome...

    Better to give him:
    "0: exile <this> and return it to the Battlefield at the begin of the next end of turn."
    This way it's also terminus proof ;)

    Would also save him from Diabolic Edict sac effects as well. Better suggestion is good.

    Thefact the you can cheat them into play at instant speed, and they stick around permanently makes it much more like vial. And you obviously are only going to play it if you are running high cost dudes to cheat in. Think of it as an aether vial that doesn't need you to run a curve. Also getting dudes under a standstill is awesome
