no, Jund is going to destroy any deck that wants to play this guy, except maybe zoo.Originally Posted by Megadeus
"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
Yep. The stronger this guy is, the stronger Jund gets...unless it is so good that Zoo can re-enter.

Could be. But i doubt it with my 75 win % on Magic Online. I've noticed a high variance in this matchup, if both players are excellent, Death and Taxes is slightly favored. Please also note that I'm winning with Death and Taxes against Miracle (50 games with Death and Taxes; over 1000 games with Miracle in general). Your analysis that Death and Taxes is a swarm deck and loses to Terminus is wrong, Thalia SoFi and Karakas is enough. Every dumb better is enough with SoFi. Of course that's not everything the matchup is about, but yeah this is not the place to talk about that.
But so was your analysis about JTMS, so you should definetely reconsider your opinion about this matchup. Maybe do some serious testing against good players ;)

I can play legacy whenever I want. Cardboard has no value. Data has no value. My time and enjoyment has high value to me. More legacy = more fun. Buy in.
I never understood why it lefts. Everybody and their mother is trying to cast stoneforge mystic.

Agree with you on Merfolk. Merfolk already has a good matchup vs most blue decks. Islandwalk and Vial making Merfolk dudes uncounterable. It's a little winmore IMO to run a card that hoses Brainstorm, ponder etc.
If someone is dumb enough to think that either their win record on MTGO (right after claiming that most of their opponents are terrible,) or that I misevaluated one card five fucking years ago makes for a compelling argument, I'm not sure why I should take their opinion seriously in anything.

I don't think this works since I happens during your draw step. I believe miracles would though?
Assuming this is regarding Anvil of Bogardon, this works. The anvil is a triggered ability. You make your normal draw for turn, then the anvil trigger goes on the stack. At this point you get priority and can play instants.
Ok I stand corrected.
I see UWR just boarding out Probes and maybe a few Ponders and bring in Wear / Tear and stomp all over D&T. Again I like the card but I think the format will adapt just fine and UWR remains uncontested as best deck in the format.

If UWR isn't holding Wear/Tear when SoL enters play... how do they find it? They board in 1, maybe 2 copies, then crutch hard on Brainstorm/Ponder to find their hate cards. Also, how does Wear/Tear do versus an active Mother of Runes?
No.
Personal attacks censored.
Instead of discussing all of the things this card can do, you focus on what it can't do. Bringing up edge cases to buttress a critical evaluation only does a disservice to the card and readers of your comment. Just a
s with Jace you focused primarily on edge cases - dying to Bolt, not keeping the board clear despite being in a control deck, ignoring repeated +0 activations - you do so here with this card by focusing on all of the non-draw "draw" in the format but missing the crux of the matter: that this will severely affect the core cantrips and draw spells of the most dominant strategy in the format.

Well sure there are going to be games where Mom gets active and Sol enters the battlefield and UWR cant counter it. But then again, you play 4 STP, 4 Bolt, counters and SFM for Jitte and the Wear/Tear blowout in addition so how often will it realistically happen. But again Im glad the format receives some extra tools to battle decks abusing too many cantrips. Exciting times though, looking forward to see how the format shapes up!

Brimaz is relatively strong against Jund though. Kind of cool to see white get multiple toys this set.
Spirit of the Labyrinth is a strong card which will likely impact legacy in one way or another. It's value is certainly being overestimated on these forums and around the web. I'm already seeing places on Ebay taking preorders for $10 a pop for one of these guys which is absurd for a hatebear that's still seeing print. That's absurd and it is certainly not that good. Especially when the decks that want this card are very few and specific.
I think it does more in vintage than legacy, but its something that will see play in Legacy because its a powerful effect on an efficient body.
Doesn't your shitty MUC deck need attention?
Can you guys go blow each other on Facebook or something?
I read the article from Nagle today and he talked a bit about a "Persophone" card that seemed like a really cool card but it ended up getting cut, but he hinted that it may come back... Hopefully the next set. It was something like:
0/2
Legendary creature
Lands are Indestructible
When ~ is on the battlefield at the beginning of your upkeep, return a land from your graveyard to the battlefield.
When ~ is in the graveyard, at the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice 2 lands to return ~ from the graveyard to the Battlefield.
Man this seems awesome. I hope that this sees the light of day in some form or fashion that isn't 1029380 mana.
That would've been a super neat toy for Loam.

Oh my ... only bad thing is that it has negative synergy with Deathrite Shaman ...Can you guys go blow each other on Facebook or something?

*crosses fingers that it's actually a 1/1 for G with just the second ability and maybe something to protect itself like the third ability*
I think it is a really really cool card. They were afraid of it being busted with the standard version of wasteland which is why they tacked on the lands are indestructible portion. Goodness. I hope so much that this card sees the light of day. I love cards that revolve around lands.
It would be broken in Legacy. Casting cost is immaterial, you would just dredge it or discard it to Faithless Looting. Recurring Dark Depths combo while making it Wasteland proof though? Crazy good.
