I'd go UB for Ruination Guide and counterspells.Originally Posted by Dice_Box
Isn't Ruination Guide a bit underpowered for Legacy-standards? I mean, sure, you get to pump your other Eldrazis, but is that really significant when the card does almost nothing on its own?
I would say that pumping a 1/1 is a greater gain than pumping a 5/5 or a 6/8. Ruination Guide looks underwhelming and strangely out of color.

"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
I don't think Chrome Mox will produce any mana if you imprint a devoid card.
They just need to make the Commander variant that says "Add one mana of any of the imprinted card's color identity colors to your mana pool." /kappa
Do we need more Delver food?
1. Cavern naming Human gives you: Delver, YP, Snapcaster, and Stormchaser.
2. Flying, one prow trigger can block-kill a 3/2 flying delver and survives.
3. One prow trigger can screw a Bolt.
4. Chalice on One doesn't stop it.
You forgot swiftspear.
Unless you're also getting value for the spells you're casting (i.e. cantripping, or bolting a second creature), those are both 1 for 1 trades, which is not so impressive, really. I wonder if this started as a 2/3 or 1/4 and got whacked with a nerfbat in testing.2. Flying, one prow trigger can block-kill a 3/2 flying delver and survives.
3. One prow trigger can screw a Bolt.
And it pitches to FoW!4. Chalice on One doesn't stop it.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that card ends up playable. If not legacy, at least modern.
Should be a nice looking foil too.
Cavern can't be used to play other spells or pay for Daze's alternate cost, though.
It's fine if it's still just a 1:1 trade with Delver or Bolt because that's still a fair tempo play. One of the advantages of Guys and Burn Spells is typically their ability to correctly answer Who's The Beatdown and make sure the opponent has a harder time playing *their* role. If my opp thought swinging into this guy was stronk aggro I'd be way too happy to block and cast Le Instant.
It's a little discouraging to see so many cards with Prowess making my Kiln Fiends look worse than they already are, but meh, this guy is cool.
You are correct.

Warping Wail 1C
Instant (U)
Choose one -
Exile target creature with power or toughness 1 or less.
Counter target sorcery spell.
Put a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token onto the battlefield. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Add C to your mana pool."
Man . . . the modern eldrazi deck will look. . . interesting. . .
That's - at worst - a sideboard card in legacy. There are so many cards it hits, and you can play it turn 1 off a sol land.
Damn this is so nice. Better in vintage than Legacy, but 1C to exile a mana DRS/arbor/elf, counter a SnT/infernal tutor/terminus , or play a drone (well this is useless but w/e) is still pretty decent in legacy too.
EDIT: actually it can check for thoughness too? So it exile Wild Pyro, dark confidants, thalias etc...
Yet another really good creature for the blue cantrip shell?
What does Wizards have against every other color in the game?
yeah when I read it . . . i thought it only checked for thoughness. . . . nope . . . instead. . . yeah I think this might be a legacy card.

Hey, the drone kills Bridge from Below and lets you bank mana EoT. It hits a long list of creatures and spells that are relevant in legacy.
I do not disagree, but for what decks? I'm thinking D&T, MUD, and 12Post can reliably make a colorless mana turn 2. Do they want this? MUD might?
Holy shit, Warping Wail is good. Kills so many relevant Legacy creatures and dodges MoM's protection.
Also pretty sweet to hand out a non-Blue counter to EDH decks; lots of bomby Sorceries in that format and it's nice to have more ability to police them.
Outstanding card...and at Uncommon to boot!
