If nothing else it looks like both tokens are told to die by a single trigger, so a single Stifle keeps both on board.

Oh wow. I was expecting red to get the short end of the stick but I think they didn't even get any stick at all.Quote:

I'm talking about 2-color decks that run 4 perfect fetches and additional off-color fetches.Quote:

In a deck like that, you're keeping the 4 Scalding Tarn, but deciding between replacing any of the Flooded Strand and Bloodstained Mire with Prismatic Vista.
Does this make burn any faster? It could produce more T3 kills. This is basically Fireblast for Modern.Quote:

i'm pretty okay with 6 damage for 3 mana. again, prob not good enough legacy, but i think it will find some play.
Wow I didn't catch that. That's pretty special. So its basically an offensive card that can only be used defensively. Makes no sense.Quote:

Holy shit, they printed an upgraded, one-sided E-Plague with legs. :eek:

Human, I'm naming Human. A lot.
Fuckin A. This set is fucking nuts
It's also great vs Elves as they have a significantly harder time to kill a creature than an enchantment. Bonus points for protecting it with Mom to make them cry bitch tears.Quote:

I can see it replacing Orzhov Pontiff in Wb D&T due to a stronger body, easier casting cost and longer-lasting effect to keep the board clear, even if it can't catch everything in one go.
Players of Modern disagree:Quote:

(but, aside eldrazi winter, when have they agreed with anything?)
Wow. That salt.
It's a set full of sweet cards and only has two walkers, so it's going to be fucking sick as a limited format. Maybe we just like the throwbacks it has more? But really, this and War? RnD has been on fire.
They seem to be upset that the set isn't just allowing them to play legacy with shocklands.Quote:
