[ZEN] Rumor Mill

[Nidd]

In SoK there even was Mending Hands, which was just plain better than this shit.

But well, the Block looks very good for Limited play.

I can't say, whether Allys will be a good strategy, though. I guess pretty much everything with Landfall is good. As long as your deck is aggressive, of course.

[Elfrago]

Just skimmed through Flores today's article.

Hilarious, simply hilarious.

Kor Duelist W

Creature - Kor Soldier
As long as Kor Duelist is equipped, it has double strike.
1/1

It seems incredibly good. I mean, what is double strike useful for? Just for abusing equipments. This duelist looks very solid IMHO.

Better start thanking your lucky stars that the Legacy card pool still grants us access to Healing Salve. Apparently it's too good to print these days.

A functional reprint would have been far too strong. They knew that Nourishing Lich would have destroyed the format with 8 Healing Salve.

Damn you, Cavius!

There's still Healing Leaves. Also, that deck is so potent it doesn't even need Salve 5-8. The reason it's not in the DTB section is just to make sure people can't have access to its dangerous secrets. Nourishing Lich is already warping the meta. You should know that. You're german.

P.S. Where are the "efficient" (now they're not that efficient) beaters white used to have? No longer 2/2 with two abilities for ?

Didn't you get the memo? White weenie sucks.

...that's why I play Dragon Stompy, but I wish my Angel Stompy deck could pack more cards with the new frame.

[Wargoos]

Its a white card? with land in the title? Whatawaste.

This.

[Barook]

...that's why I play Dragon Stompy, but I wish my Angel Stompy deck could pack more cards with the new frame.

Turn 1: 2-Mana land, Mox, Duelist, Jitte
Turn 2: Equip, swing

Looks sexy, but it wouldn't happen very often.

Hey, you got 2/2 for with THREE abilities.



It's not a bad card, especially in multiples.

[Piceli89]

So, where's the "most broken card in years" whcih was rumored to have made Flores jizz in his pants ? I hope it's not Lotus Cobra.
Seriously.
Fuck the Standard-centric way to look at cards. I can already imagine Pro-Tour videos on Youtube with him commenting the games and coming out with:

"OOOOOMG IT'S A TURN 2 LOTUS COBRA from Gabriel Nassif/Patrick Chapin/Johnny,ComboPlayer!!
Da MYTHIC BUSTEDNESS!!"

[Nidd]

It was the Cobra.
Hissssssssss.

[Humphrey]

It was River Boa

[Nidd]

It was River Boa

Okay, let's be serious here. It is the card that is still missing.

I mean, it must be blue. And we all know Blue is broken, because Blue decks all run Islands.

[undone]

They just spoiled the last card its too bad its an ally

[Eatatjoes]

What about this card...

(B) Bloodchief Ascension
Enchanment
At the beggining of each players end step, if an opponent lost 2 or more life this turn, you may put a quest counter on Bloodchief Ascension.
Whenever a card is put into an opponents graveyard from anywhere, if Bloodchief Ascension has three or more ascension counters on it, you may have that player lose 2 life. If you do, you gain 2 life.

Maybe in some type of pox build, with bloodghast? Also, if you smallpoxed, and they discarded, sac'd a land, and sac'd a creature, would they lose 6 life and you gain 6 life?

I think the card may actually have potential.

[Nidd]

Imagine playing Glimpse the Unthinkable with 3 counters on Bloodchief Ascension. Hilarious!

[rufus]

The problem is that bloodchief ascension is a pretty lousy topdeck in most situations, but it looks like it's beastly if it comes on-line since it can do bad things to fetches, cantrips, and dredge.

Alternatively, if you get one active early enough top decking subsequent Ascensions would be great because they trigger counters on their own at that point. There's really no reason why a black deck wouldn't be able to trigger an active Ascension each turn between discard, creature kill and the opponent playing spells of their own volition.
