Wow. I was hoping for a Chains of Mephistopheles on a dude. And here we are, not exactly chains but does screw with brainstorm. 3 power really nice too.Quote:

If RUG had problems with D&T before this creature, this takes it to whole new level. Its like having a chalice on one against that deck. This guy also buys tuns of time against combo decks. Its hard to win fast if you have to naturally draw your combo pieces.
I thought all bears were 2/2's? :cool:
It's obviously a hatecatQuote:

It also stops Griselbrand from going nuts.
I guess now we have our high impact Legacy card - as expected from a Ken Nagle set.
Wow, yeah literally every set Ken Nagle has lead-designed has had high impact Legacy cards.
Commander
New Phyrexia
Worldwake
Return to Ravnica
i think you mean rug just bolts it and moves on with its game plan.... also see forked boltQuote:

hoses elves like crazy too.
The article that revealed Spirit of the Labyrinth doesn't talk about the card much (or at all, actually), but it's titled "Born Legacy". Seems extremely intentional.
I'm just happy it's not a fucking 3/2 the way R&D's been going, but yeah. Extremely playable and extremely fair.Quote:

Still good, to be sure, but not pants-shittingly so.
EDIT: I will say that I don't understand why that card is an enchantment. You could remove the Enchantment type from it and it would make just as much sense. That type seems there more as a box-ticking exercise than anything.
Holy crap what a bear! Makes death and taxes/maverick stronger. Any thalia deck straight up benefits from this. I'm going to run 4 of this in my Mav for sure.
Having 8 thalias is no joke and 3/1 is a pretty decent clock.
I kinda feel relieved. Would have liked to see it in red, though
It is an extremely fair card that every deck can answer, but gives non blue decks a serious tool to fight combo and blue decksQuote:

I like it, Nic Pod wants this very very badly
It's an enchantment that happens to screw over Enchantress. I love it.
Oh noes, another way I can't cast Thoughtcast!
Wow, that's actually a really cool card. I like it.
I'm pretty sure that if the last few years have confirmed anything, it's that Wizards just has a hardon for trying new frames and will come up with any bullshit justification for doing so.Quote:
