Thread: [JOU] Journey into Nyx Spoiler discussion

    Re: [JOU] Journey into Nyx Spoiler discussion

    Wow, a Legacy playable land?

    Seems like an instant inclusion in Dredge, is there any other archetype in legacy that wants 5+ City of Brass like Stax or Stompy or something?

    That land is interesting in a world of Rishadan Ports.

    It's funny how compared to City of Brass, Gemstone Mine, Undiscovered Paradise or even Tarnished Citadel, this land's visual design is plain ugly.
    Dear Wizards, return to the old frame, please.

    Other than that, the land seems very good.

    I agree. Considering this card being available in FOIL with all the Gold frame and flashy colors it looks like a wet fantasy from Pony-Land.

    Yep, esp. compared to Gemstone Mine with its big coloured moxen or Undiscovered Paradise with it's kitschy panorama (hey, I love it!) that were in fact really decent illustrations.

    Is it wrong that I want to get foil versions, and alter them so that they have horror movie villains coming out of the centre?

    You mean like Elton John in one of his stage Outfits? Then yeah, you're going right.

    What do you think about this? Most likely not Legacy-playable since it lacks a home, but seems cheap enough to fit into some kind of token deck.

    I like the flavor. And the name. Launch the Fleet! I wonder what the word Strive is doing there. Is it just for flavor? Or to be recognizable at a glance?

    Also the land would've looked much better in a Future Sight frame.

    Ability wording the "kick for additional targets" thing. Set has a bunch of it.

    Woah, Mana Confluence is the good gold land I've been waiting for since 2011 when I started playing 14-15 land Dredge and hated how awful Tarnished Citadel and Undiscovered Paradise were. Too bad I've since adopted LED Dredge and that version rarely runs more lands than just 4 City of Brass, 4 Gemstone Mine, 4 Cephalid Coliseum. It probably is close to strictly better than City of Brass is though, and I'd swap them in a heartbeat if I didn't like City of Brass's artwork more.

    Still, best card spoiled thus far from the set.

    It saddens me that only a week after I sold the Dredge, they printed this amazing land.
    Also, I like the Launch the Fleet, too.

    It's like a weird one-shot Militia's Pride. I did used to like that card in Lorwyn Standard quite a bit.

    Funny how the set is already better than Theros and Born of the Gods combined. Still not exactly great, but at least it shows they haven't completely lost their touch yet.

    Mana Confluence is playable, but boy, this card looks like rainbow vomit. What's the flavor behind it anyway?

    Re: [JOU] Journey into Nyx Spoiler discussion

    Ritual of the Returned could interact well with drawback creatures like Death's Shadow or Phyrexian Dreadnought.

    Interesting find, but 4 mana seems like alot, considering you need additional GY setup for a vanilla beater.

    Panoptic Mirror + Worst Fears

    also:

    Hypnotic Siren U
    Enchantment Creature - Siren
    Bestow 5UU (If you cast this card for its bestow cost, it's an Aura spell with enchant creature. It becomes a creature again if it's not attached to a creature.)
    Flying
    You control enchanted creature.
    Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has flying.
    1/1

    Its a flying 1/1 for U, but late game it can turn the entire game around? probably not worth it, but it's an interesting card

    Interesting to see them really explore the mechanic with things you'd want to enchant on enemy creatures.

    Martial Coup and Rise of the Hobgoblins seem better, and nobody plays those.

    I'm not saying Launch the Fleet is good, but those examples cost 2 more mana before they even start making tokens. That's a huge difference.

    The attacking could also be relevant to get the last few points of damage, especially with pump.
