Well look wise though :smile:Quote:

It can't do Emrakul or Progenitus, but there is Grizel-turd, other Eldrazi, Worldspine Wurm (pretty nice synergy), and Craterhoof Behemoth.
Aminatou, the Fateshifter/Venser the Sojourner jank incoming.Quote:

Edit: Ranger Captain seems like a nice way in Modern to tutor for Giver of Runes. Or anything relevant in Soul Sisters. Lack of evasion and protection is kinda underwhelming in Legacy, though.
Turning off your opponent's removal and counters for crucial turns is also nice, although I don't understand this card design. It's just two unrelated abilities mashed together.
Yea, TFS will not be on the table, so the second will not have Cascade.Quote:

Anyone have an AFFINITY for this card?
Come on man, you can construct a better joke than that.Quote:

I'm still sad that they've had not one, but two werewolf sets and we've got like, half of one playable card out of it.Quote:

Oh, we were talking about different things. You meant the sliver you get from casting The First Sliver itself, which can't cascade. Everything cast after it resolved should have cascade, though.Quote:

Planebound Accomplice plus Will Kenrith (whom I totally forgot about) is pretty decent. 2RR and two card combo do draw 2 cards and have all your instants, sorceries and planeswalkers cost 2 less until end of turn.
You'd also get to search up a Rowan too, if you want to. Not sure she is much worth it though.Quote:
