New cards from M11

Conundrum Sphinx is amazing with SDT...


Conundrum Sphinx 2UU
Creature - Sphinx
Flying
Whenever Conundrum Sphinx attacks, each player names a card. Then each player reveals the top card of his or her library. If the card a player revealed is the card he or she named, that player puts that card into his or her hand. If it's not, that player puts it on the bottom of his or her library.
4/4

Beats for 4 evasively at 4cc, and draws you cards you already know whats on top of your library when you have top out.

4cc 4/4 flying is solid. It's blue, so you have Brainstorm/Ponder/Top/etc to go along with it. Seems like it might find a home in some of the Supreme Blue CounterTop decks, maybe in the Jace TMS or Sower spots. It's basically like a blue Dark Confidant for that deck that actually puts on a great clock. Seems like a good finisher to me.

I need lots of that Shaman for EDH.

For those who can't see it:

Fauna Shaman
:1::g:
Creature - Elf Shaman (rare)
:g:, T, Discard a creature card: Search your library for a creature card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

The fuck?! I think GW Survival just had a field day.

Also... why has this card gotten 0 attention so far? Its broken!

Wait... is that a Vedalken Orrery that you can begin the game with it in play? Wow.. turning any deck into Solidarity sounds pretty badass. I'm sure this will be broken as hell. Might combo play it? I'd love to see some Serum Powder post-boards including this.

How about that new leyline, instant speed anything, although it is in blue which isn't lacking instant speed? Oh and any guesses as to what the other Leylines will be like?

This leyline is fucking amazing. I can't wait to see the new ones. The old ones were underwhelming at the cost of actually having to hardcast them at 4. The other ones must be mediocre compared to this one.

Heh, I think so too just by the look. Anything at instant speed seems powerful. Like Dream Halls can now go off on your turn, Cbalance+Top in response!!! Is that an EOT Natural Order?? I'm excited!

Holy shit, Fauna Shaman is disgusting. So now Survival decks have 8 Survivals, 4 of them on legs?

Seems good in a multitude of decks.

Is this really the first core set printing a multitude of cards that will be good in Legacy? There really haven't been too many. Props to WoTC.

You know, I was thinking... Solidarity has a great game against blue decks because it can keep going off in response to stuff... is this a possible inclusion for a deck like Tendrils Storm combo, helping fight blue decks?

Is dat sum Survival I see? o_O

That creature is nuts! Maybe not so much in Legacy where we already have, you know, Survival... but it might be worthwhile as a 1-2 of in those decks to get around Pithing Needle.

Also, fuck busted in EDH.

Possible, or mandatory? Seems awesome anyway. Let's see how the other leylines turn out to be. Also, someone is bound to try to fit that in Solidarity with some sorceries borrowed from Spring tide.

I started thinking how present decks would be affected by getting instantized. I'd love to see that in dredge. Instant leds, therapies and Breakthroughs make me laugh.

Did you just say Instant Dread Returns......

WOW, I didn't realize Fauna Shaman was an Elf.

Elves decks get a new toy, Survival decks get a new toy.

Does Survival Elves now go up a Tier?

I saw that card spoiled on my way home and thought about it during the drive. I was pondering if tribal elves w/surival use these instead of or in conjunction with surival. They can get swooped up with Sylvan Messenger were survival can't.
My guess would be 4 survival, 2 Fauna Shaman when it is all said and done.

I thought I should point out that you can also toss unwanted cards to the bottom of your library by simply naming Cheatyface or whatever when you don't like your top card. That makes this guy even better.
