War of the Spark

[bruizar]

The power level of this set is in-sane, and not in the membrane (<3erlich bachman)

I previously said karn is the best card in the set. Well, i think im gonna have to take my words back real soon.

This set is full of bombs at every rarity.

Good find. : Draw a card is pretty decent, but then you're running an aura.

Just like my favourite pauper combo: Quicksilver Dagger + Horseshoe Crab

I feel like Nissa, Who Shakes the World might be a sleeper in standard. At €1.90, a rare planeswalker that costs 5CC but virtually costs 3CC like Teferi, but also attacks AND defends itself at the same time, and has an ultimate that will win you the game on the spot usually looks very powerful for a format like standard.

Sinking Feeling was the closest I found to turning this into an engine. Unfortunately, it doesn't go infinite because it costs 1 to activate.

You can put it into the graveyard along with Devoted Druid and have a Noxious Ooze in play. If Ooze had haste, that might actually be playable.

Anger?

Still doesn't seem better than other options.

Seems worse than the standard Necrotic Ooze combo with Phyrexian Devourer and Triskelion.

Oath of Kaya seems bonkers to me. It's a BW lightning helix that ALSO punishes attackers? It's basically a 10 point swing no matter what.

Only punishes if they attack your 'walkers. Still yeah, it's a great, great card. Abzan really needed something like that.

It seems pretty strong. I'm not sure if it's good enough for legacy, but maybe modern. And if you have a way to blink it oh boy

[Cire]

If only Oath of Kaya + Aminatou, the Fateshifter was legal in modern.

Ok, I misread it. I can cut my pre-order down from 4.

Soul Diviner should work pretty well with Aether Vial - both are cheap, Vial is good on its own and it can generate excess counters to feed to the Diviner. A deck like this doesn't exist yet, but considering Bahra made a new Esperblade deck with Vial recently, a deck like that might pop up sooner or later.

[filln]

This is pretty niche but the new Huatli seems great in Life.dec as you can not only gain infinite life but attack as well. Toss in the new GSZ to replace some number of Eladamri's Call, not sure if it's better yet (sorcery vs. instant, if you're running Vial/Cavern, or perhaps Chord is better, etc.) but it's an option.

Maybe could even stay mono white now (tutor with recruiter). Like a really bad D&T but with the combo.

Glacial Chasm

Ooh, nice one! I was thinking greater gargadon, but i'm not sure it works on suspended cards.

Edit: this references Soul Diviner, just for posterity

Narset hates cantrips

Narset must hate being blue

[Hanni]

Holy shit. It's Leovold on a mono blue Planeswalker with an activated ability of a flipped Azcanta? I'd say that's a pretty insane card that will absolutely see Legacy play.

5 Mana walker that doesn't defend itself? Doubtful. I think the card is decent, but I don't see what deck wants this and what you're cutting for it
