[Ace/Homebrew]

So what are the things that Containment Priest hoses in this format, exactly?

BUG Shardless:
- Any creature that would be played off a Cascade trigger (Tarmogoyf/Dark Confidant coming into play after Shardless Agent)

Cascade 'casts' the creature, so the hatebear doesn't stop it.

It feels like Wizards actually looked to print cards to help some of the format's problems this time around (instead of adding to them).

JUDGE!

How does Containment Priest interact with Dryad Arbor? Both when fetched and when played as a land for the turn?

It'll exile it both times and also count as your land drop if played as a land (you just play it into exile).

Also, it doesn't stop Shardless Agent cascading into a creature (you are still casting the creature)

It also stops:
Goblin Welder grabbing creatures
Transmute Artifact grabbing creatures
Nether Shadow
Goblin Lackey

Wow, between stopping Lackey and VIal, this is a very effective anti-Goblins card for a mono white deck.

Too bad nobody plays Goblins anymore.

[Ace/Homebrew]

It also stops:
Goblin Lackey

Yeah, but it already stops Lackey by being a 2/2 with flash.

Not really relevant for Legacy... but it also stops Deadeye Navigator and other blink strategies right?

OMG this card is amazing....keeps stuff fair and auto include in white stompy.

welder
daretti
kuldotha forgemaster


new feldon evades it which is worth noting
also plays nice with batter skull

[Barook]

Somebody should make a deck with Priest and Astral Slide, just to troll people.

[Sylphnir]

Time for elves to play Summoner's Pact again!

also plays nice with batter skull

Wouldn't it vaporize the germ token? (all token for that matter)
Edit: nvm it has a nontoken clause I'm stupid.

[bruizar]

WOW I really dig Volcanic Offering

Volcanic Offering is my second favorite from the red deck

[apple713]

Does anyone still play:

Bloodghast
Dark Depths / Marit Lage
Vengevine
Demigod of Revenge
Flashback cards
Protean Hulk

[Richard Cheese]

Yeah, but it already stops Lackey by being a 2/2 with flash.

Does that mean it also turns Flickerwisp into permanent removal?

Edit: Also phasing becomes "exile"?

[Ace/Homebrew]

Seems good.

It doesn't stop Dark Depths though. Marit Lage is a token.
Or 'Flashback' cause that is only on non-creatures... Did you mean Unearth? If so, yes it stops that.

[rufus]

Nope.

d The phasing event doesn’t actually cause a permanent to change zones or control, even
though it’s treated as though it’s not on the battlefield and not under its controller’s control
while it’s phased out.

i play depths, maybe not any more... that matchup was hard enough

yes

very excited for this.

thanks

I forgot that depths is a token.

[Sylphnir]

*searching for new artwork*
Noticed Tornado Elemental, Wellwisher, Cathodion and the medallion/diamond cycles, what else?

[Richard Cheese]

Nope.

Aww yeah, Rainbow Efreet still the best creature in the format. I should have known that, since I already knew it didn't trigger any ETB effects.

Priest wouldn't exile itself if it came in off Vial or Flickerwisp would it?
