Honestly as power-creeped as creatures are anymore, it would likely need to drop the 1 off the base cost and just cost G (+3 kicker) to be a serious tournament card, and even then, it would see limited amounts of play outside of maybe a R/G aggro deck, and still probably wouldn't get playing in Modern or Legacy.
The nostalgia in this set is cool but it seems like everything costs 4+ and thus will probably have little impact on Legacy
Oh, no, trust me, there's some real sleepers in there. I know people working on Cheeri0s in Modern with both Jhoira and Puresteel, for example. And Song of Freyalise is costed really aggressively.Originally Posted by maharis

The new Karn will at least see sideboard play in Big Eldrazi and/or Steel Stompy, imho.

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog 4
Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct
Trample
Traxos, Scourge of Kroog enters the battlefield tapped and doesn't untap during your untap step.
Whenever you cast an historic spell, untap Traxos
7/7
The untap ability, in an artifact deck seems super easy, could even maybe have psuedo vigilance in an artifact deck. Is a 7/7 trampler for 4 worth it?
If u have workshop it's great. Just keep moxens you don't need in your hand as a way to untap this.
In legacy yeah no. It's a good beater but tombs decks don't want a 4 mana vanilla.
Colorless nettle sentinel makes me wary of what combo we have coming down the road.
Sounds super busted in vintage with Volatic Key to untap Traxos, your Time Vault as well as Crypt, Vault and shit

Getting quite a bit of attention in the Pox crowd, definitely think it will become a 1-2 of in variants.

happy to test this new artifact guy in some affinity builds. it seems pretty scary with a cranial plating. regular affinity needs some more must destroy cards.

Honestly, you definitely want a 7/7 trample to cast on turn 2 in MUD

The Kroog guy plays well with having Monolith and Key in the same deck, seems like some kind of big MUD aggro deck would be a good place for it.
Lands, MUD, Stax, and Miracles.
I think in legacy lodestone is a better card most of the time and see 0 play because casting it T2 is extremely inconsistent. This coming down T3 is nice but it dies to everything except AD. 4 mana threats need to at least protect themselves in this format to be playable imho. Reality smasher has haste, come down as fast as this with eldrazi lands if not arguably faster, and make your opponent 2-for-1 itself to remove it.
Outside of Combo I don't think this is that good in Legacy. For 4 colorless wouldn't you just always rather have Lodestone or Thought-Knot Seer?
The flavor text is essentially a dare
There's also this guy to combo with it. While it isn't on-demand, it can get around Chalice, unlike Voltaic Key:
T1 Sol Land, Grim Monolith, use Monolith to play this guy, untap Monolith Eot, go HAM on T2 with a minimum of 5 mana each turn.
Not sure if it can fit into any deck, but the filtering seems pretty nice and a 1/1 flyer forisn't too shabby, either:
Yea, there is a modern Cheerios deck this is going in.Not sure if it can fit into any deck, but the filtering seems pretty nice and a 1/1 flyer for

Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
edit - /nvm/ missed the permanent type restriction
Really disappointed in the lands here. Figured they could have some kind of reference to some of the golden oldies, but.. not so much I guess.
One of the blandest sets for Land cards in years to be honest.
Afaik both Cabal Stronghold and the blue land land that lets you draw 2 cards refer to such lands (Coffers & Academy).
