This curse can kill opponents that don't run any creature cards and is pretty good against decks with heavy hitters like Emrakul. SB material for Curses, maybe?

This guy could probably be sideboard material.
Show it into play on yourself and mil yourself to emrakulQuote:

Unrelated:
Besides not getting into the flavor of any recent set I for some reason don't like the portrayal of Innistrad this time.
Getting some real Diablo vibes in the sense that considering the amount of threads to your very existence, civilized life seems kinda impossible.
Even more unrelated:
Can we get another plane without humans again for once?
Lorwyn was almost 15 years ago.
Seems low key racist how almost every main character is human in the "story".
Duh but besides thatQuote:

You can hit yourself with Curse of the Restless dead to make landfall zombie tokens, but at 3 cc it's probably too slow to be useful.
Shame there is no Emrakul Zombie to go Sacromancy followed by Empty the Lab into your only ZombieQuote:

It's a Courser of Kruphix that can maybe power out creatures. Coven is probably too big of a hoop to jump through.

Maybe. But something like Hierarch/Dryad Arbor/Augur isn't too hard to set up.Quote:

That seems like a pretty subtle question to me. The druid, by itself, is 1/3 of the way there, and a deck that's set up to use the ability is likely to be running lots of bodies anyway.Quote:

I know that Jeskai Ascendancy combo is a modern thing, but I wonder if the Augur makes sense as a 1-of to be found with Summoner's pact in that.
Maybe thoughtlash?Quote:

Seems good as a 1-of in Maverick.Quote:

Indeed, the GW Glimpse with Flashback card in this set convinced me to put together an Elves deck using what few cards I have left after The Great Sellout, and I've been goldfishing it while thinking at work, it turns out that the right amount to pay for the Glimpse effect is always exactly one green mana.Quote:

EDIT - already on fucking Arena I've played a match where someone pwned their own Coven ability and conceded about it by putting a +1/+1 counter on a 1/1 dude as a combat trick, leaving them with 2 guys with 2 power and thus shutting off Coven. I bet we don't have exactly that problem in Legacy but there would be enough dumb stuff like Exalted triggers buffing a guy and un-Covening your board that it has to either be a build-around ability or something you just ignore and benefit from the other two abilities
Yeah, if a 2cc Glimpse were going to be good, people would be playing Beck//Call already. It's pretty clear that a deck has to take advantage of the differences between the spells to justify paying more. Not that it's likely to be a winning strategy, but, for example, since it draws off of creature tokens and enchantments, Rite of Harmony will draw two cards off of Sarcomancy,Legion's Landing or Squirrel Sanctuary, while Glimpse of Nature would draw none.Quote:

But after doing a few days of experiments where I'd goldfish and just mentally swap out Glimpse for the new card, it's a pain to have to have a non-green source just to get started and there's enough tricks you can do with Wirewood Symbiote and Elvish Visionary to net you additional cards all for green mana. It also kinda feels like casting one Glimpse is usually enough, you can stabilize and go off pretty easily with Nettle Sentinel and just get to a point where drawing more cards faster doesn't mean anything. It's not like High Tide where you really want to cast multiple Tides to feel good about what you're doing.Quote:

Something like that, but I'm not sure it's any good. (I also always wonder about Nature's Chosen with the wild growths and white creatures.)Quote:
