[SCD] Spirit of the Labyrinth

Ahh great, thanks guys!
I have never seen somebody chosing not to draw 3 that I completely forgot it wasn't mandatory.

Since it counts as an enchantment, I plan on running SotL in Enchantress.

Considering it's white and not black, I think they missed a great opportunity to add flash to it.

The stack is confusing for the brand's target demographic.

Snapcaster nd notion thief don't give a fuck. It would have been better for it to have had flash.

Here Here!

Although it may actually be too good with flash at two mana.

Uh, "turn target Brainstorm into Hymn at the caster, gain board presence, 1W" just "might" be too good?

Well currently i don't think it's spicy enough for this format. I'm sure it will see niche play but overall it's just a beater that dies to everything TNN dies to and then more, with a slightly annoying ability. Meh.

I agree it's not the greatest right now, but that's only because Death and Taxes hasn't been the greatest lately. If True-Name Nemesis didn't put such an emphasis on creature decks having to have flying or evasive creatures then you'd definitely see Death and Taxes (and soon Spirit of the Labyrinth a lot more). Who knows, maybe it'll have a bigger impact on the cantrip decks than anticipated. It is a good card.

I can see this in type 2 and maybe modern but if it's played the legacy( the only true format) in my opinion it will be a sideboarded and a 1-2 of. But will I be suprised to see people try to work it into anything... No I wont.

Although good against most of the field, the problem is it is symetrical, and thus bad for most decks to play. It might find a home in the few decks that can support it, and not take the hit (Deadguy/D&T) but those are really the only places, and I think there are better things to do doing (Thalia).

I think Shes going to shine in Deadguy because Bob is a card advantage that doesn't draw cards.

Agreed. I think Deadguy Ale is going to become a more popular choice in the coming weeks/months.

I hope not.....lol that's the only deck I play. I like it when I'm not the overplayed deck, so people will have less hate for me in the board.

I'm considering running it, but a little gunshy of the 1 toughness. Already run enough guys that die to Golgari Charm.

Yes, but if they don't have G. Charm in hand and you have SoL out, it will be possible to race them out. They have to find it or they die. Also Wilkin, I only say that because of the card advantage it generates vs. the lacking of it in D&T. It's probably an upgrade to the higher-tiered deck.

Did people already come up with a list which fits this card best =)?

I dislike the "what do you do if you have no removal or counter in your hand but only sorcery speed cantrips?" argument. The only thing that happens then, is that your opponent drops SFM into Batterskull, TNN, S&T or Sneak Attack into Griselbrand/Emrakul or start chanining spells for storm.

It's outright alien to me, that some people asume, that legacy players always have hands without counters/removal/threats/combo so SotL is amazing against them.


Reminds me of the discussion of how good Pain Seer is in modern with the strange idea in mind, that your opponent does not have creatures in a format that is ABSOLUTELY DEFINED BY CREATURES

This is why people think SotL will probably shine in Deadguy. You can rip up the opponents hand then drop SotL in play forcing the opponents to go into topdeck mode.

So yes people will have hands without counters/removal/threats/combo against the properly built decks.
