Nah, just take one of the cards and put the rest to the bottom/GY. Ponder is functionally different enough.Originally Posted by Echelon
Aside from Jhoira, the new crew members seem pretty underwhelming - Nerd Angel, Not-Crovax: Twilight Edition (holy magic allowing him to walk in the sunlight as a vampire instead of dusting him is fucking stupid), a goddamn fungus, a descedant of Sisay and some boring illusionary mage.
Super happy that Damping Sphere is not rare or mythic!
Honestly, Oath of Nissa would have been a perfect Green Ponder if it just said "Permanent" instead of a bunch of restrictive hoo-ey.
Mind posting your collection or a link, maybe in a separate thread? Would be cool!
I agree with this except giving tron another ponder would be pretty miserable
Yeah, but only because WotC refuses to print decent land hate in Modern. Damping Sphere is a nice try, but it won't see any play.
I'm pretty certain it's going to see play in Modern as it serves as hate against Storm AND Tron in a format where sideboard space is premium.
Was the "basic swamp" part really necessary?
Dam, and yes. There is a land that makes everything swamps...
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
Yeah - but without Urborg, this card is . . . bad?
I don't agree, what creature except Thalia High Tide care to counter? With for lands, Unwind + High Tide is the engine, you need 5 lands with Rewind, one extra turn.
This doesn't means that Unwind is an auto include in High Tide, I just think is better than Rewind.
Urborg don't change the supertype, they're still non basic swamps.
I know - I was just saying the Urborg made Coffers decent but not broken, so the basic restriction wasn't really needed here.
The issue is EDH, not Legacy.

Yeah that's too bad. This one is completely dead on arrival in Modern. Way too much cost for its payoff. You need 6 lands in play for this to even possibly be a +1 mana. Meanwhile Tron and Eldrazi Temple still exist.

And it's more expensive. Cowards.

Every time a card is printed with EDH in mind I end up hating that format a little more. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING good has ever come of WotC designing for EDH.
Frankly there are more than enough ways to answer Coffers+Urborg in the format already.
Do note that even though Urborg makes everything a swamp, it doesn't make everything a basic swamp. Thus, it only works with Urborg and other basic lands. So, this card is probably unplayable outside of mono black.
Yeah this card will usually have no text box in Limited so it's safe at Uncommon.Super happy that Damping Sphere is not rare or mythic!
Looks like Kavu Titan got a massive upgrade. I loved that card.
Yea that card's costed to be actually functional. Love it.
Easier Kicker, base Trample, bonus Vigilance? Yeah, that's a buff.
Sad thing is, I'm not sure it's playable in either form now. For 4R you can get Charging Monstrosaur (charge, trample, 5/5), and for 1G you can get Tarmogoyf (or in Standard, probably a good dozen cards that are better than a 2/2 with some rules text that mostly doesn't matter, because it's a 2/2).
Heck, for five mana (3WW) you can get an upgraded Baneslayer Angel lord.
Better Kavu Titan - probably just a limited card now. Ramunap Hydra was a 5/5 Vigilance/Trample for 3G that didn't really see much play.
I mean I'm not expecting it to see tournament play anytime soon, but it's just an actually functionally costed take on the concept. It's a good card.
