Aren't Sunscorched Desert and Piranha Marsh better?Quote:

There is no holdup for the combo. It's just bad because if they're holding any type bounce or disenchant affect(eg. decay) you auto lose the game. I'm tried a long long time to make the deck work since the unban and have conceded that tinfins and rb are just better reanimator decks.Quote:

Not too sure which Legacy deck would have enough historic density to make any use of those cards, though.
Weatherlight, another card that will shape Vintage. I don't want Shops restricted but they are really trying to make a case for it.
Does Board the Weatherlight give :g: Tron enough of a reason to go into :w:?Quote:

Looking at a Mono:g: list, it runs 23 historic cards. I don't think that's enough. Probably time to wait for Frank Karsten to do the math.Quote:

That +1 is so sweet. it instantly replaces itself and also replaces the tap out with mana for a permission spell or two.Quote:

Coolest 5cc cantrip I've seen in a while :-)
I wonder if this is the set we'll finally get "Aether Vial, but for Planeswalkers" in.
Why couldn't they make that cost 2UW? It would have been so sweet at 4cc.Quote:

Not only that, even if you don't find any with Ancient Styirrings, you've cleared away 5 cards that aren't Tron lands, increasing your chance of drawing them in future draws; in contrast, this can actually dig you past the lands. It might see a little play if it were 1 mana but at 2 it's a non-entity. You'd rather run Commune With Dinosaurs (which no one does) over this.Quote:

Oh...
At least Jhoira looks better now than her past incarnations:

As for today's spoiler's, there's this:

I don't see where the activated ability could be relevant, but granting hexproof to you and your other creatures while being bolt-proof and AD-immune on a decent body seems pretty decent. Combine it with Mom and you have a powerhouse, although Karakas still gets around it.
Man, if only that Angel was 2GW we might have seen a resurgence of Maverick.
Yeah, hexproof is strictly a White ability now, apparently.
Another piece for DnT I guess. At 4cc it's hitting the upper limit, but they've gone that high before with Jailer.
Imho its slightly worse then restoration angel. Both protect stuff but flash > weird pump ability.
From a “story” perspective historic makes perfect sense:Quote:

Don't want to jinx it, as we still have a hundred or so cards to go, but at least He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named wasn't printed for the fiftieth time.
If you mean Jace, he's not in. We already know every planeswalker in the set.

some very clear examples:

- most vehicles e.g. Smuggler's Copter
- less special equipment e.g. Pirate's Cutlass, Sharpened Pitchfork, Blazing Torch
I guess you can interpret most (but not all) non-creature, non-equipment, non-vehicle artifacts more or less as some sort of relic, but oftentimes it's a stretch.
Shard of Broken Glass
Yep, real historic.
One interesting thing about "hexproof from [color]" - it can be copied by other cards like e.g. Odric, Lunarch Marshal and similiar cards. Not really relevant for now, but that might change with some future printings.
Meanwhile, you're beaten to death by a flock of paradise birds wielding a magical laser sword. Logic and MtG aren't always the best friends.Quote:

Kamahl's Druidic Vow
Legendary Sorcery
XGG
put all lands and legendary permanents cost X or less from the top X cards of your library into play
I don't know if that sees play in Legacy, but I could definitely see it happening in Modern Tron.
But maybe it is good enough for Legacy? Seems pretty strong if your deck is built to use it and runs a bit of ramp.
obligatory statement about Stompy and Nic Fit too I guess.
Oh, there's also a BUG legendary that lets you play all types of permanents from your graveyard, seems like EDH fodder.
Kamahl's Druidic Vow is a legendary sorcery. You can only cast it if you control a legendary creature or a planeswalker. It's effect is not game-winning either, so I'd guess it's unplayable.
Gilded Lotus is back in Standard.
https://i.redd.it/s2t7uqiy60q01.png
Not really Legacy-material because it's to expensive to use, but seems pretty cool with cards like Aurelia, the Warleader that generate additional combat steps to go infinite.
It's not castable in Tron unless you already control Karn, Ugin, or Ulamog, so that seems like a bustQuote:

Anytime the opponent tries to kill the elemental you can hide it under the land, and then when you sac the land to bring back the elemental you can immediately replay the land from your graveyard again.
Seems like maybe too much effort for a marginally better Scarab God though.
Someone in the EDH forum commented how the Helm combos really well with Godo, seems like a pretty powerful addition for that deck
It's a bit of a pity that Mass Polymorph into Godo, Bandit Warlord + Kor Outfitter doesn't work. (Though there are obviously better ways to go off.)Quote:

No. For High Tide Rewind would be strictly better 4 lands, can counter anything, and still sees zero play.Quote:

Adventurous Impulse {G}
Sorcery
Look at the top 3 cards of your library. You may reveal a creature or land from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
I thought this was a solid nonblue cantrip but then I realised it's just a worse Oath of Nissa
All those kind of cards suck because they're too narrow and the more of them you run, the worse they get, which is counter-productive.Quote:

Gronder sounds like a dating app for people who play Knight of the Reliquary.Quote:

They release them for free after the set's arc is complete. I have all of the stories from SoI onwards.Quote:
