The all powerful Ludevic.
This card is pretty real for EDH though:
"The Ancients teach us that if we can but last, we shall prevail."
—Kaysa, Elder Druid of the Juniper Order
A lot of the Innistrad and Innistrad-related flavour text is so godawful. The setting would be splendid for something poetic-feeling. But it's like they insist on the bluntest, most banal, ill-fitting statements they can manage.
If you look at all the words printed in the text box and try to apply colors to them, you are right that nothing falls into the Red portion of the color pie. If instead you look at all the words in the text box and conclude that he is 'group hug' thenmakes a little more sense as part of his casting cost.
Nah, card only does something if you hit a creature with counters. Way too situational to justify running Dark Banishing.
Three cheers for fair cards? Hip, hip.... never mind.The all powerful Ludevic.
This idiot allows your opponent to draw a card as well. Ditto The Greek Lovers up there. I mean, I guess Wizards realized that making things Legacy playable made Commander sets sell in strange proportions.
I am looking at the card with Storm in mind. Alternative win con and wheelie from the grave in one, in a deck that can generate the mana. Probably not good enough, still interesting.
I don't think this is playable (6 mana is still a lot), but has there been a draw-7 that worked out of the graveyard at Instant Speed before?
What do you mean? These guys are great if you're not the one with them in play. Exactly what I want out of my opponent's decks.
6 mana is a lot, but possible with 3 good accelerant spells. The fact that the opponent also draws 7 is a major downside when storm decks often use discard-style disruption.
1 led and 1 ritual and you're good to go, the best question to ask is if ad nauseam isnt just a better draw spell.
Funny how this image shows the flavour text spelled correctly, but the one on mtgsalvation speaks of 'it's horns'.
Perhaps they're intent on being monogamous, I guess :-)Major flavor fail! Kynaios and Tiro should have been two separate cards... with Partner.
Want to beat True-Name Nemesis? Here's what you do when your opponent resolves it, and they name you.
The Upside is that the dragon effect is uncounterable. The downside is its actually useless without LED. Maybe a sort of RB storm deck that plays faithless looting? More PIFs? I could see a fun budget BR storm deck existing
Isn't this good as a Show and Tell hate card?This card is pretty real for EDH though:
I don't think it will trigger if it is put in off of show and tell, so not really
Yeah - both creatures ETB same time, so it's effect won't trigger since it wasn't on the battlefield as the S&T creature enters.
Creatures that enter simultaneously 'see each other enter', so it would create a copy. I'm not sure that's such a great way to deal with S&T though.
If akiri was modern legal I'd ha e immediate use for it. Legacy it seems weak and not a good replacement for ravager or vault but you can't deny the power of galvantic or shrapnel in a list that just wants to use artifacts as resources and not so much the source of damage.They can Wrath in response to the equip trigger, making the whole ordeal pointless.
Not worthy, imho.
Edit: Not sure into which shell she would fit into:
Akiri, Rope Thrower
Legendary Creature - Kor Soldier Ally
First strike, vigilance
Akiri, Rope Thrower has +1/+0 for each artifact you control.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
0/3
In an artifact-heavy deck (Affinity? color-wise, probably more Painter), she has a built-in Plating and the combination of First Strike, Vigilance + high power makes her a pretty dominant ground creature.
Dragon effect also subject to graveyard hate. If there's ever a legacy Pyromancer Ascension deck, it might be a component.

How is this a card of interest in legacy? You reveal the top 10 cards and get 1 (one!) card of an opponent's choice, meaning you probably won't get anything you actually need.New card of interest:
