I'm predicting Supreme Verdict, Terminus, and Wrath of God to be en vogue throughout the next year.

liliana of the veil, pernicious deed, massacre, infest, engineered plague, moat, ensnaring bridge... none of these are regularly seen in the top 8 decks of legacy tournaments. Supreme verdit and terminus are really the only answers that are currently being utilized. Liliana has the potential to remove this if they dont have another creature in play.

This guy is better than every white protection card ever printed. It's like printing the best counterspell ever in White thanks to stuff like Lapse of Certainty and Frontline Medic. I'm sure everyone would be thrilled about that. The most disgusting thing is, decks like D&T have been waiting for cards like this for years. You know, in the color where it makes sense.

I mean look at Paladin En-Vec, who is supposed to be "strong" for a white protection creature at 1WW. This guy is so far ahead of Paladin En-Vec he isn't in the same universe.

i guess the card that we should expect to be printed is "W : choose a player. if that player controls a spell on the stack remove that spell from the stack and exile the card."

I think this card is beyond stupid, but then I have the same opinion on Delver of Secrets and Deathrite Shaman. Stupid or not, it looks to be stupidly effective and I now need to preorder some of these. At least it'll be affordable while its in print thanks to it being part of a special release. I do hope it's the card that breathes some life back into Stoneblade variants because I miss that deck.

this is along the same lines of delver and DRS.

Magic has evolved over the years. The initial concept of each color still exists sure buts things have changed for better or worse.. kinda like democrats and republicans. Point is im pretty sure the guys with rights to the IP of MTG determine what slice belongs in which pie.. roll with it.

The problem with nemesis identity is when creatures like this are printed, along with already existing creatures like delver of secrets, you continue to add cards that do not belong in the color pie to that color. Over time maybe in the next 2 years, regardless of the type of deck you want to play, combo, control, or aggro, you play blue. That should never be the case because then everything that isnt blue is playing red elemental blast...

blue should absolutely not get the best aggro creatures. They should however get creatures with abilities because blue is about trickery and subtle utility.

I guess i should stock up on Llawan, Cephalid Empress <-- main deck?!?
