I like how Sword of Vengeance is strong both offensively and defensively. If it gave the creature lifelink, I'd say it was OP.
Unfortunately, a 3 mana cost to equip really sucks.

Jace's Erasure 1U
Enchantment
Whenever you draw a card, you may have target player put the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
Might Spring Tide play this?
LOL Nice. I have this image of him marching up and down the hallways of Wizards of the Coast with a wastepaper basket on his head and a plunger in his hand screaming, "I AM THE COLOR PIE GURU!" :laugh: Fear him.Quote:

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything strong enough to make it worth building a deck around this, however, it might be a sleeper.
Wild Evocation "suffers" from the same problem like Cursed Scroll - random isn't random anymore with only one card in your hand. Playing Emrakul for free is sexy, but you first have to reach the state AND Wild Evocation must survive the opponent's turn AND it still costs :5::r:.Quote:

On June fifth I posted the above. Sweet, I predicted the Fork reprint correctly. And mana leak. Man, am I good! And you all doubted me! :tongue:Quote:

Because it's like $80. Jace costing $80 isn't good for anyone, if they do reprint him then he's the chace mythic for the set. Wizard's sells more product, more copies of Jace are in cirulation so the price goes down, everyone's happy. I mean some people would be upset because they're holding onto Jace to make a huge profit, unfortunately, Jace isn't worth shit until they actually sell it, so it's a dumb reason.Quote:

Players would be happy to see both form of Jace reprinted with 2.0 as a mythic. Not sure how much Wizards care about secondary market but I think they should think about problems for people to get 4 Jaces 2.0. They should reprint both Jaces or print some cheap epic hoser for planeswalkers in a way Null Rod exist for artifacts.
Printing new Jace, the first time phased out old Jace! He's only good for blocking new Jace now. And wizard's cares about the secondary market when it involves their two babies Standard and new Extended. People will leave standard for the same reason they leave Legacy. Jace is too good not to play, and he's way to good to just pick up and buy. You can't draft for him, since Worldwake was only drafted for like 3 weeks. It's bad enough you have to get new cards when set's rotate, it's another when THE BEST card costs $80. I mean it's bad enough Vengevine is $40-50. Reprinting big Jace will keep people in standard longer, which means more money for wizards.Quote:

I for one am amped to start drafting M11, way more depth than M10 had.
No, Spring Tide is not a milling deck, it doesn't benefit from slowly milling the opponent. However, I see that you can use that enchantment to mill yourself, which time and time again has been proved to be a stronger tactic.Quote:

I'm trying to wrap my head around this one... Seems like a very powerful ability (especially combined with the ability to be played for free sometimes). But I can't really think of any existing decks that would want to use it. Anyone have any ideas?
Aether Vial does what that thing does, and better to if i might ad.
Leyline of Anticipation + Life from the Loam = EOT Ancestral?

The question here is, why do you need to endstep the loam? To make it better, you need to get more value out of it. But in loam decks, you very rarely have instants that you would otherwise hold mana open for, meaning you get very little added value out of loam being an instant. The leyline is good in decks where they play both instants and sorcery speed spells that aren't creatures (Vial is better) and often have the dilemma of casting a spell or leaving mana open. I don't think this deck really exists.Quote:
