Hasn't it already rotated? 9th, 10th, and M10. Or am I missing something?Originally Posted by coraz86
Iona was completely spoiled (ignore this post if you already knew that)
Well, I never had french lessons but I suppose it's something like this:
Iona, Shield of the Emeria 6WWW
legendary Creature - angel mr
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield choose a color.
Opponents cannot play spells of the choosen color.
7/7

Not even remotely playable, but the flavour and the new keyword is kind of interesting:
Chasseur de halos [Halo Hunter]
Creature - Demon (R)
Intimidate (This creature can be blocked only by artifact creatures or creatures that share a color with it.)
When ~~ enters the battlefield, destroy target Angel.
6/3

Basically Intimidate is the new Fear.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

That's what I thought too, but gatherer says it's still legal. Maybe it rotates in October?
That would have been the case with the previous rotation schedule, but they've adopted a yearly rotation to match Standard. It should have rotated out with m10.
Too bad Baneslayer has protection from Demons, or this would be good in Standard. :\Not even remotely playable, but the flavour and the new keyword is kind of interesting:

Iona looks great in Vintage in Ichorid and Oath decks. Maybe good enough even in legacy Ichorid.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity - Seneca, Roman dramatist
Does Iona's ability go on the stack, or not (similar to Meddling Mage) ? If it doesn't, then it's a really good Reanimator target as her ability is way better than Shroud, just shut off the color of your opponent's removal and a number of his other spells as well (hmm....monocolored decks).
Too bad they forgot to include a green mana in the casting cost to make her fetchable by Natural Order, like they did in the last blocks.
georgjorgeGeistreich sind schon die anderen.
It's a static ability, a la Meddling Mage (au moment vs. quand).

Painter + the Angel sounds like a fun lock.
Awesome. Painter, Show and Tell, gg?
Tusk up.
But how is this more expensive, 3-card combo that is an "almost win" better than the 2-card "win-now" combo with Grindstone?
Barook, it's not. But you could throw angels and show and tells into a blue painterstone deck and just increase your combo density.
Wow, I am excited to try Iona in my vintage oath list. MB or SB I am not sure. Somewhere!
Fun was the operative word. No it isn't better than grindstone, but more fun.
Tusk up.
upkeep, return 3 Ichorids, let them die. 9 x 2/2 Zombies.
Next turn return 3 Ichorids, let them die. 18 x 2/2 Zombies.
Next Turn return 4 Ichorids...

(Who plays spells in Legacy?)
Then it's worded wrong "When" instead of "As".
The current wording means it can be stifled and be responded to as the trigger goes on the stack.
Hyperbole much? Every single deck in Legacy "plays spells," even Dredge and 43Lands. These are probably the only two decks that can even get anywhere in a game without doing so, and it wouldn't be easy for either one of them.
Bless your heart, we must consider Blue/White Tempo's strategy and win percentages in an entirely different deck thread. -4eak
Taking everything toooo cereal you do, my friend.
Team Legal Actions.
Gosh! I'm super cereal, and no one believes me!!!
EDIT: Here's a rumor I'd like to start about Zendikar, in hopes that it might be true: They'll print some Merfolk cards that don't suck quite as hard as Lullmage Mentor. You know, like ones that actually might be good in the Merfolk deck. But I'm not really holding my breath.
