Thoughts? Her second ability would hose Dredge pretty well (if she wasn't so slow with her 3 mana cost in that regard), but her first ability is pretty meh and a vanilla 4/4 doesn't really seem to cut it for Legacy, either.Anafenza the Foremost
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier
Whenever Anafenza the Foremost attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on another target tapped creature you control.
If a creature card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.
4/4
She's too slow to consistently stop Dredge :). Grafdigger's Cage/Tormod's Crypt etc. FTW.
Delve!

I'm just getting into Legacy and I bought a playset of Flooded Strands on Sunday morning, only to get home and see the spoler. Initially I was furious with myself, but after seeing how dreadful the art on the new one is, I felt a lot better about continued demand for the onslaught versions.
May not make the Legacy cut, but she'll be a house in Modern. Melira Pod, Living End, and even Gifts will have a tough, tough time beating this thing. And that fact that she is a mini-Gavony Township will break Pod mirrors wide open; probably even moreso than Linvala currently does.

Reveal the top eight cards of your library. You may put a creature card among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest into your graveyard.
Ferocious - If you control a creature with power 4 or greater, you may put two creature cards onto the battlefield instead of one.
Could be something weird in Modern, like Tooth and Nail used to be in Extended.
Not really. I mean, if you have a creature with power four or greater on the board, you're probably already in a great spot and could better use your six mana elsewhere. And if you don't, then it's a slower version of Summoning Trap which has been around for like five years.

I know! I am very excited for the reprints, but I dislike the art on all of them except for Wooded Foothills. On MTGO, I do not care. I will buy the new-age strands and everyone can make fun of me for having the garbage ones. In paper... I really want to just buy the Onsl. version.
Only downside of getting the strands before the spoiler is that they dropped about $20 once it was announced. I would guess they go down another $5 before the settle.
Oh well, I am sure you aren't the first (or last) to have this happen to them.
Utter End
Instant
Exile target nonland permanent.

It's probably somewhat stronger than Unexpectedly Absent (if that's getting played?) but I wonder how much good it'll do in this format. Still, I like it for being Instant and relatively unlimited in scope - if I wanted to hit a land I'd play Wasteland anyway, meh meh meh
I dunno. Council's Judgement is pretty hot due to all the side benefits of targeting without targeting. Sorcery, yeah. But what are we talking about here? A new deck archetype or sprucing up Rock-Junk-Ale? Those decks tend to tap out on their own turn. I don't want to go spending four on a single permanent unless that permanent is Emrakul or Counterbalance or something that owns the game.

Why does it have to be nonland at 4 mana? I also dislike how they recycled Vindicate - the trend of reprinting old, popular cards at a higher mana costs with minimal extra benefits continues.
As far as Legacy in concerned, CJ shits all over it. Instant speed is nice, but can't outweight all the extra benefits CJ has.
I only follow plot details to the extent that it helps speculate what characters may get cards...
So Ugin is like the counter to the Eldrazi, I guess.
Is Ugin's Nexus Wizard's attempt to 'answer' Emrakul? It is terribly narrow and unplayable in Legacy. But it stops extra turns (Emrakul's cast trigger) and it gives you an extra turn when it hits the yard (is annihilated).
