It kills off the two best walkers in the format. I actually think maybe the BUG Nic Fit decks maybe want it? Last time I played that deck walkers were tough to deal with on an empty board. It also "counters" abrupt decay

Though the discard is being pointed to as the worst mode (which I think it frequently will be), it does have legitimate uses. Maindeck cards like Decay or Pulse can be straight dead a lot of the time. This can at least take a card from Storm or other combo decks at EoT, which is a lot better than staring at your useless Pulse.
Against Miracles I could forsee killing Top + Discard a decent amount of the time. Killing Top is usually impossible to do without going down on CA. There will also be random times where you snipe a Miracle from their hand (those dastardly topdecked Termini when you're about to kill them).
These points don't really make me think this is the next Liliana of the Veil (jellydonut), but the more I think about this card, the more it seems legit.
You could play it with Reap and Painter's Servant :laugh:.Quote:

I think the big one is Jace. I feel like most decks that could play this card are already playing Abrupt Decay, or counter spells, or both. This isn't going to take the spot of a counterspell, and the uncounterability of Decay is too much to give up just to hit Jace IMHO.Quote:

Blue or Black noncreature, isnt this far to limiting? I mean look at delver decks, mostly blue but cant hit/protect ANYTHING!
Very; the only thing that makes the card interesting as a sideboard card is the fact it has two modes. The first kills counterbalance, Jace and Lilly; the second protects a creature, like Gaddock Teeg, from Abrupt Decay, Disfigure and Chain of Vapor. That would leave Maverick or maybe a BANT deck that might want to try it.Quote:

My japanese is horrible but I think it reads like:
Hendonists Trove - 5BB
Enchantment
When Hedinists Trove comes into play, exile target opponents graveyard. You may play land cards exiled that way. You may only cast a spell exiled by Hedinists Trove once per turn
Hope a native speaker can help me out
God damn, I love the continued proper appropriation of the "mythic" status by Wizards.Quote:

Choose one or more:

- deal 2 damage to your opponent
Fuck you TNN!
I know what's a hilarious card:
Mirror Mockery :1: :u:
Enchantment - Aura (r)
Enchant creature
Whenever enchanted creature attacks, put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of that creature. Exile the copy at end of combat.
Wow, I totally missed that the first time around. It's got some potential for EtB ability abuse.Quote:

(gaining you CA when you play it. . . and CA when it clones). I don't really know if such a card exists. . .Quote:

The one that leaps to mind is Baleful Strix... but that's a pretty terrible best case scenario. I think this card is primarily a stop gap for Standard blue decks trying to deal with Siege Rhino.Quote:

@Cire: Why would one play it on a creature < 2 CMC creatures? :really: It's real value are EtB-effects, but as you said, you need to swing and get CA twice to make it worthwhile, which is rather doubtful in a format with AD as common removal.
As for people bitching about Kolaghan's Command's price, consider that it can generate +1 CA. When was the last time Wizards printed a card that could generate CA (exception: split burn that can target weenies) and cost less than 3 mana?
Because if you play it on a creature 3> CMC or more - you are basically playing a 5CMC combo or more. Such combos must win games to be competitive. Since I doubt you can combo with this card, the only way it could have been playable if it could generate (reliably) CA for cheap.Quote:

Reading is tech, my bad. I thought of it as attacking creature.
Ok, this card blows hard then.
