[JOU] Journey into Nyx Spoiler discussion

[Fizzeler]

Though honestly, I do really like the "gain 100 life" for some reason. Maybe because it's just so short and to the point, in contrast to something like Jace the Mind Sculptor's ultimate. I can't think of any other ultimate that's so succinct.

I can Wildspeaker's ultimate, nothing like good old overrun right?

[Barook]

I mean, a Heroic deck with triple targetting off the +1 and drawing into more gas off the second ability...

Abilities can't trigger Heroic.

Imagine all the infinite comboes with Kor creatures or Shuko...

[Higgs]

I like the flavor of Godsend quite a bit.

Same here. Loving the art and the flavor so far.

5 pages and not a single Legacy relevant card...

[Bed Decks Palyer]

I like Ajani. Makes me wanna build a GW Highlander.

Less than 20% of the set were spoiled. Let us not get hasty here.

Although the gods are bound to suck due to their CC/devotion required and so do the Bestow creatures as far as Legacy is concerned.

Oh, you got me wrong. This was not a rant about the lack of legacy playables, but an aspersion about people discussing clearly unplayable cards.

How are cards like Godsend "clearly unplayable"?

[Lemnear]

In terms of Legacy and better, similar cards being available

Swords and Jitte are real cards, you know?

btw, you seem to have a virus on your computer that automatically adds obnoxious colors into your postings.

Sage of hours just might be broken as hell. Imagine what you could do with Varolz, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Bounty of the hunt, etc. Spend 1 mana, attack for at least 13, take two or three more turns, etc. All your dead Tarmos become Time Walks. There might be a powerful deck in there.

You want to play a miracles deck with Blessings of Nature and Temporal Mastery?

Reanimating Necrotic Ooze with Phyrexian Devourer and Sage of Hours in the graveyard would work probably work better. I suppose it could be an alternative to Triskelion. (AFAICT Triskelion is going to be better most of the time.)

[TsumiBand]

Cards which were once evaluated as 'unplayable' have been showing up in decks for a long time. The only surefire method I know of to prove or disprove a card's worth is to test it out.

How are cards like Godsend "clearly unplayable"?

Because they are essentially on the same power level as Divine Transformation.

[HammerAndSickled]

In terms of Legacy at least, there's really not much of a chance for the card at all. Maybe as a fringe card that's run in one archetype but not even optimal there, like a lot of other Death and Taxes cards. If it's not going into a deck immediately it might as well be trash. It's a tough world.

[Justin]

Yeah, how often are you going to want Godsend over Sword of Fire and Ice? Sword costs one less to equip and will sometimes get online a turn earlier. It can ignore True-Name, draw cards, and deal two damage.

Godsend + Master of Cruelties in Standard = LAWL

Oh, right. I was just literally reading it as +1: "cast Reap What is Sown", which is amazing in GW Heroic draft. I guess it's not quite the same. Nevermind, then even Standard has fewer uses for that card.

MAYBE GW Enchantress could use it as a draw engine? Seems bad though.

Why would you use it a Draw engine? Use it as Storm hate - "Can you get to 50 Storm? No? G3?"

Because Enchantress vs Storm matches usually involve the storm player trying to combo on turn 10?

New Ajani is the funniest card since Steamflogger Boss.
