Nahiri, because she's a planeswalker.

Anguished Undoing stands the best chance of being good, but it isn't strictly better than anything in a crowded category of kill spells, and it's getting a promo card too.

That new exile wrath will be good for Standard.

That 1-drop enchantment kill spell will be good for Standard.

The rest were intro-rare tier.

All-in-all, a good set of spoilers today, but nothing with high amounts of eternal playability.
>>
>>46009238

We don't know yet. It has supposedly to do with her thinking he both released the Eldrazi from the Eye of Ugin and brought vampires to Zendikar. Both things he didn't do, and could be easily disproved if she talked with any of the other planeswalkers that were busy saving her plane without her.

Well this is one of the cards I've been talking about with my friends for a while now. The big thing is that its basically a cheaper version of Utter End, but the bigger question is would it be better than Mortify? Granted it can also target artifacts, planeswalkers and indestructibles but will it be worth it?


I guess its true though, a cards eternal value is determined by its ability to break into modern and Legacy.

Yeah, it's a really neat card, but it's not good in any sense.

It's a 13 mill for 4, which is already a bit steep, but 5 more mana for just a chance of casting it again? Maybe if the flip side wasn't a 1/1.

They should have pushed the return side more. Either made it cheaper or made it's creature side better.
>>
Nahiri luring Emrakul to Innistrad as retribution for Sorin/Ugin not helping Zendikar seems like a neat idea.

>"You didn't want to help with this thing, so now it's your problem!"

I am a bit disappointed in Nahiri as a walker for both constructed and EDH, even though she's flavorful as fuck.

What're yinz hoping for from this set? As a Kaalia player/angel fetishist, I have high hopes for some delicious, new fatties.

The original Innistrad block provided a lot for Kaalia decks, but I fear WotC will bog down too many prospects with delirium or "too-specific" effects. Hell, two fo the three lesser angels already have delirium attached to them.

You can argue that Kaalia has enough options to choose from, but we really haven't gotten anything "new" or worthwhile outside of supplemental products.

>5 more mana for just a chance of casting it again? Maybe if the flip side wasn't a 1/1.
Think about it this way: it's a Reassembling Skeleton that doesn't enter play tapped and can act as a win-con for a control deck.

Annnnddd it also costs 3 more mana and is sorcery-speed. They probably could've made the transform ability cost 3 or 4 mana and it would've been playable.

The important thing is that the tranformed side can chump block once a turn for 5 mana, which is something a control deck might want.

Yeah, I think 3 mana would have been more fair.

If you're using it just to chump, then it doesn't need to be 5. If you're using it to get the spell back to your hand, you're basically paying 7 for the privilege then.

Either way, it doesn't matter much. It's a cool card, but it wasn't going to be amazing no matter what they did.

I'm half-hoping for that "fourth sister", the one who consorted with demons, to come back as a black or b/w creature in the set. I'm also hoping that, if Emrakul was lured to Innistrad, that she assumes a corrupted form of Emeria. How dope would a devoid-boarded B/W Eldritch Angel be?

Again, im counting value in terms of formats. Granted the 3 life will be irelevant in a 40 life format like commander. Higher value is determined by whether it can break into other formats. This is why cards like baby Jace are worth over $80, because they see use in multiple formats.

I feel she has good potential as a sideboard tool. One of the shortcomings of Disenchant effects is they only answer a narrow class of card, and at best 1-for-1 them. Back in Lorwynmoor Standard if you tried answering Faeries' Bitterblossoms with Naturalize you were fucked, you took a card or cards out to play a card that only answered Bitterblossom, worsening your game to deal with an engine that meant the difference between Faeries being good and being degenerate; you failed to improve the matchup!

Nahiri fixes the narrowness of sideboard hate like that by also tacking on a few other features (exiling tapped creatures, helping you improve your hand quality, threatening to Sneak Attack something for whatever value), though admittedly she has relevant drawbacks in not hitting untapped artifacts (it's a really dumb flaw of hers but I feel that it's made up for in a way by her hating on tapped creatures) and being 4 mana (which is kinda slow for a sideboard card, but on the other hand she does a number of things so you're exchanging speed of resolution for a swiss army knife card).

Yup.

Theres shit like Siege Rhino, 4 mana 4/5 Trample Lightning Helix and then theres this absolutely fucking garbage card.

It's a cute twist on Seal of Doom / Executioner's Capsule, but it's probably too resource efficient to see play as soon as a simple Doom Blade variant is confirmed.

The thing is, something like Glimpse the Unthinkable is more efficient but only works in a mill deck. Without other mill cards to back it up, it does jack and shit.

This card can mill a person all by itself. All it needs is a control shell to keep the board clean and it can mill all 60 cards. It can also chump block if the conditions are right.

It's effectively BB and discard to kill any type of creature. Milling and 1 life are very minimal costs.

While >>46010701 is really bad at understanding this kind of stuff, Economics isn't comparable to grades in a school system where everyone can theoretically work hard and get an A. It's more like a curve grading system where there are only two As, three Bs, four Cs, five Ds and everyone else fails. That's more comparable to how economics works.
Then there are five honor students in the class and David's mom was blowing the teacher regardless of how much he studied and plenty of kids would fail simply because the better scoring kids ate up the good grades.

I think one anon worked out the math in a previous thread and Mill is basically like Burn, only you are trying to hit a much larger target than your opponent's life, and your spells can't double for controlling the board. While 3 damage is the sweet spot for Burn, 8 cards was the sweet spot for Mill. So while 13 cards is a tasty number, the four mana to make it happen is unfeasible.

The only thing mill had over burn is the fact that there are far fewer relevant cards for building back up your deck compared to gaining life.

I'm assuming you're new, seeing as that was litterally the dumbest thing I've ever read.

That's OK. We were all new once.

Force of will is the most played card in Legacy, and could easily be considered one of the best cards in the game. It easily deserves its $80 dollar price-tag.

You see, Force of Will actually costs 0 mana. Nobody plays it for 3UU. They exile a card and pay 1 life instead, which is a much better deal.

One of the benefits of Force of Will is that, since it costs 0 mana, it can be played when all your lands are tapped and your opponent thinks you can't counter their spells. It is this ability of Force of Will to be played whenever that truly makes it a staple among high-level Legacy play.

Now, next time you say something stupid, please lurk moar first.

Tibalt's deck in Sorin vs. Tibalt is R/B and Blightning even got new art depicting him, he's almost certainly going to be R/B if and when we see him again. I don't really see any reason for Koth to be R/B unless he's compleated but then he'd lose his spark.

It's because Mirrodin's Phyrexia branch is mostly Bant colored nowadays to spite Elspeth honestly.
Elesh Norn wrecked Urabrask and Sheoldred's domains and leashed Vorinclex and Augurman. So if there's anything left of the Resistance, the only mana they have to really draw on that isn't under Norn's control would be Mountains and Swamps.

As a player during the Torment days, I do love madness. I remember when Arrogant Wurm was the shit. But the thing about Madness, at least from my experience, is that it looks for enablers that have two particular traits:

A.) Has no additional cost for the effect other than discarding a card.
B.) Can be utilized multiple times.

While 1 Black isn't a terrible cost, the fact that you have to also sacrifice Sinister Concoction makes it fail the 2nd part of the test. The madness enablers I remember seeing play were cards like Wild Mongrel and Narcissism, which while they're just shitty pump effects, you can reliably utilize them throughout the game.

Yeah - Urabrask was wasted potential. If his faction had grown to be the major check on Norn's power, it would be much more believable that the Mirran resistance could survive, and open up some interesting possibilities for future stories.

I'm hoping that Urabrask managed to escape, which is still possible - his remnants allied with Koth could be very interesting. Strange bedfellows and all that.

How so? 7 mana to attack with a 4/4 and maybe kill a defender while losing a card (assuming you have something with CMC high enough to kill an enemy creature), since you will need even more than 7 mana to pay for a madness card (assuming you have one).

Is that what standard kiddies call "incredibly strong" now?

He's like the silver lining to Phyrexia, the rest of them are so full of zeal in wanting to make everyone like themselves or follow some twisted philosophy, but Urabrask is like the only one who seems to comprehend that forcing people down a certain path in life just breeds resistance to it.

Maybe he had a plan to subtly manipulate the Mirrans into joining him willfully and becoming compleated, but at least he wasn't being a psychotic borg about it from what I've heard. Plus maybe he'd have fostered a sort of middle ground between the two factions that could have been the greater of their constituent parts.

See, look at these two. You have Wild Mongrel on the ground, now you can feasibly play 8 copies of Lightning Bolt. Mongrel is reuseable at any point of the game so you don't have to worry as much about having a copy of him around when Fiery Temper in your hand.

Although, to be fair, we already had Fiery Temper in Modern thanks to timeshift.

>people took this bait
>>
>>46011703
Perhaps I was a little too hasty. But I hesitate to call her a "good" card. Before I get into her flaws, let's look at what is good about her:
>High starting strength
>1st ability is hand filtering and +2 to boot
>Seriously, hand filtering is damned good in RW
>2nd ability is point removal
>ability 2's cost < ability 1's gain

She's great in control...except the two colors she is in (RW) is typically very aggro (though they have some control). If her second ability is getting used, you don't have a commanding board state because you're killing creatures that attacked (and she is likely to die that turn). If you want to remove enchantments, there are many better, cheaper, cards for that. Some of them even come attached to bodies. And for reasons beyond me, she can only kill tapped artifacts (are there any in Standard aside from artifact creatures?).

She's also 4CMC. For an aggro deck, that's likely the top of the curve for a deck that wants to win by turn 5-6. So you're looking at most 2 turns with her on the field. I'd rather have something that gave more value over the game by playing it earlier.

She also doesn't win you the game by herself. Sure, her last ability theoretically can win the game. But ultimates never fire and when they do, they're winmore.
>>
>>46011406

Well, this card is okey. If Delirium is activated, you'll want to have an answer before it eats your face for 7 damage.
>>
>>46011937

I honestly think that having it at rare might fuck up limited pretty badly, I know it's annoying but if Wizards excuse for Mythic being a thing is that they need it to keep Limited healthy then this kind of thing is exactly what should be a mythic.

>>
>>46011987
If I recall, that story was very much her learning to care about life again.

She went stone cold hibernating on Zendikar, coming back around to the world of mortals put the sort of spring in her step that would be followed by getting really angry no one kept their promise to reconvene in the event of Eldrazi nonsense.

Then again Sorin does show up for a later incident, and Ugin had time travel issues complicating his ability to respond. I hate Magic's idea of time fuckery sometimes.
>>
>>46011917
The issue is, she's still capable of lithomancy. As in, the same lithomancy she used to turn Zendikar into a massive Eldrazi trap.

Even if she's weakened by the Mending, she's still probably capable of creating structures that channel mana and if she creates enough of those structures to channel enough mana, she can do almost anything. In this instance, 'almost anything' means fucking with Innistrad's moon and either releasing whatever eldritch horror is trapped within it or turning it into a beacon for Emrakul.

/tg/, explain this for me:

I see all the time that a card is "bad" unless it can do something right when it enters the battlefield. But at the same time, there are also many complaints about decks being non-interactive. Wouldn't an interactive game benefit from allowing an opponent a bit more time like their turn to be able to interact with the card?

It seems to me like a lot of the cards that are "good" that people seem to want are cards that your opponent has a harder time answering, but at the same time they want to interact more with their opponents' cards. In an effort to make the game more interactive, wouldn't it be better for cards that do things right when they enter the battlefield to be the exception, not the rule? To me, that's the main difference I see between MTG and yugioh.

The timeline goes something like this:

>Sorin and Nahiri meet and form a mentor-student/father-daughter sort of relationship.
>They uncover the Eldrazi problem and try to combat it.
>Ugin contacts them and they formulate the trap plan.
>Forty years later, they lure the Eldrazi to Zendikar and trap them there.
>Nahiri goes to sleep on Zendikar to watch over it.
>Ugin gets killed/rendered comatose by Nicol Bolas.
>The flavor article you just read. Nahiri awakens to discover various changes on Zendikar and goes about fixing a minor Eldrazi outbreak, before wandering off to see what Sorin and Ugin are up to.
>???
>???
>???
>Various planeswalkers are all lured on to Zendikar through the machinations of Nicol Bolas, leading to the release of the Eldrazi. Sorin makes his first appearance in an attempt to keep the Eldrazi imprisoned and Nahiri is nowhere to be seen - unless you think Stoneforge Mystic was Nahiri.
>Sorin goes to Innistrad to see what's up, when Avacyn is missing. Liliana solves the problem before he's able to do anything and he kicks Tibalt's punk-ass for trying to cause chaos on his plane. Nahiri is unseen.
>Sorin goes to find Ugin only to discover that he is dead. Alternatively, he wakes him from his comatose state after finding his hedron-based cocoon and for a moment, he genuinely believes that Nahiri could have offed or trapped Ugin. Ugin is awakened and then demands that Sorin finds Nahiri so they can put the team back together and stop the Eldrazi. Sorin mentions that he and Nahiri are on bad terms, Ugin demands that he mans up and goes to Zendikar to survey the damage.
>Battle for Zendikar occurs.
>Shadow over Innistrad occurs.

We just need to find out what the gap is and exactly what the reason for Sorin and Nahiri's feud is.
>>
>>46012269
its something Sorin did, but it was apparantly something that needed to happen.

It's not as pants on head as you think. Wizards makes money from moving packs. What moves the most packs? the weekly drafts. People buying individual packs or cards is just a blip on the radar compared to limited events.

do you think 1 life total and card off the top of the deck count towards numerical card advantage numbers-theory?

are you fucking FULL ON retarded?

So, you would rather it be 7-mana -> win the game?

Instant speed removal exists and you might not have a Titan in your hand, but you understand what that would be, right?
>>
>>46012534
its a tad too strong for Limited, really, if you can cause the ole "limited Board Stall" this will just win you the game without much retort.
>>
>>46012193
People all want different things, the key to this is balance. Wizards is trying to push creatures in the current standard and new sets because they see creature combat as the most important aspect of the game. Whether or not you agree with this, they have been trying to put creatures on par with spells for efficiency, and this usually means stapling a spell onto a creature in the form of an EtB trigger, so you still get some value even if it dies immediately. However, wizards has definitely gone too far with this with certain cards, the main offender from recent memory being Siege Rhino, but also see Thragtusk and Restoration Angel for more examples.

If they print cards of that level of efficiency, they game degenerates into nonsense because either one of both players are doing so much to build up their own boardstate it ends in either a stalemate or a curbstomp.

If they don't print enough cards with efficient abilities that benefit you even if the creature dies, then removal becomes much stronger and creatures become less prevalent.

Right now I think wizards is pushing towards more creatures that allow for more interaction, but still printing a few efficient threats. I agree that creatures that allow for more interaction makes for more fun games for me, but wizards has to appeal to all types.

>>46012502
JTMS wasn't intended to be a format staple and is pretty much 100% the reason you get more shit mythics than good
>>
>>46012543
Please, its complete shit.

Would rather run Thunderbreak again.
>>
>>46012512
It has one relevant cost, discard a card. But with Madness, that is a plus.

The only negative is requiring 2 B mana and being kind of slow.
>>
>>46012557
what the fuck did they think it was going to do to the format with THOSE fucking abilites?

>>46012567
Thunderbreak was retarded power creep and literally everyone complained about it, comparing it to Baneslayer Angel.

>>46012554
How? What other mill support is there?

>no I mean you beat them with the creature!

So you're telling me paying 5 mana every other turn to swing for 1 is a gameplan? you realize if that card's unblockability is coming into play, you're already lost, right?
>>
>>46010648
utter denial gets upgraded, now final judgement just did. Whats the next "decent" card to get upgraded for commander players?
>>
>>46012502
Jace is a mythic because Planeswalkers are always mythic. Goyf was a rare, and never should have been a mythic at all. And it wasn't moved to mythic because it was a staple, it was moved to mythic specifically to protect the stupidly inflated value that's built up over the years.

Format staples are not "always intended to be mythic," you tool. They said from day one that it wasn't their intention to print format staples at Mythic, and the single biggest complaint about Mythic Rarity is the fear that they'll start doing exactly that just to sell more packs.

You have to be trolling, because I find it hard to believe that anyone, even on 4chan, could be so utterly retarded and still be breathing
>>
>>46011211
The face is kinda meh.
>>
>>46012580
It originally had mill as a +, I believe. Sure, free brainstorms, but planeswalkers weren't exactly powerful prior and they wanted him to make a splash.
>>
>>46012557
I was actually referring to Jace, Vryn's Prodigy but thanks for bringing up another mythic rare format staple that wizards has confirmed multiple times they won't ever print at less than mythic rare.

>>
>>46012580
To be fair, they've admitted that both Jace and Goyf were mistakes, specifically that goyf was supposed to cost 1 more and that Jace's +2 was supposed to be different.

Jace was mythic because planeswalkers are always mythic, and goyf was reprinted as mythic so as not to destroy current Goyf's value, in a non-standard set. I find it funny that for a set that was supposed to be a way to get cards for modern, they put all the cards people actually needed help getting at mythic or rare., except remand.
>>
>>46012661
Pop it on that transforming vampire and you're swinging for an unlockable 7 every turn
>>
>>46012624
I think you're blinded to the truth. They intentionally make planeswalkers into format staples because they want them to feel powerful. Having them be exclusively at mythic means that either none of them can/should be format staples or they are intentionally printing format staples at mythic.
>>
>>46012269

That gap would fit with Avacyn's creation date.

If Sorin got Nahiri to assemble the cryptolith network, but then also just sacrificed an angel to create Avacyn, that might have been a sufficient cause for a split, which would then get increasingly sour over time.
>>
>>46012534
It's not just playable in Limited, it's broken as shit in Limited. It's a repeatable effect that mills more than 1/4 of your opponent's deck. You only need to get it back once, maybe twice, and you win. There's already going o be a ton of self-mill to support delirium, and by the time you can cast it the first time they'll already be 10-11 cards down just from normal draws.
>>
>>46012719
Yes they consistently made """"""mistakes""""" with blue cards. GTFO

MaRo loves blue so much that his mouth looks like he gave a smurf a rimjob

No, but that equipment with this is.

Exactly, the only way it'd be more broken would be to make the creature version hexproof. Granted there is enough spot removal in this set to cause some counterpoints in limited.
>>
>>46012730
Not all mythics are intended to be format defining cards. Some mythics are, and some mythics are Lux Canon and Archangel's Light. It's a slot they use for big splashy spells and new effects, and those kinds of cards can tend to see serious play.

Not sure if anyone remembers Lotus Cobra in standard, but that was basically the definition of a format staple being at mythic for close to no reason.
>>
>>46012768
Eh. It is only five mana two cards, one color.

I see jankier things when I close my eyes.

>>46009768
Sorin created her pre-Mending, so he simply doesn't have the power anymore to duplicate the feat.

>They intentionally make planeswalkers into format staples

No, they don't. Period. I can think of a grand total of 4 Planeswalkers that see any consistent play in formats other than standard, one of which was admittedly a mistake, and one of which never went through Standard at all. 4/68 is a staggeringly small percentage. Planeswalkers are exclusively mythic because they want opening a Planeswalker to feel special and rare, and because Planeswalkers are fucking busted in Limited. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The Eldrazi were sealed 6000 years ago.

Nahiri awoke from her sleep 1000 years ago.

Avacyn's been around for a thousand years or so.

The Mending was 300 years ago.
>>
>>46012832
With no innate protection, leading to you getting 2-for-1'd. Plus, all good creatures have a decent ETB effect so when your 7/7 inevitably leaves the battlefield, it gets to ETB again. Congratulations, you just gave your opponent some flicker for a card and 1-2 mana.
>>
>>46012895
you draft white/blue and get your own Topan Freeblade.
>>
>>46012515
Whatever the beef between them is, it's older than that. She would have gotten the same pager alert that he did when the Eye opened, so there must be a reason she didn't show up.
>>
>>46012756
A different Jace, Ajani, Karn, Ugin, possibly Elspeth Knight Errant. Several planeswalkers were essential in standard decks over the years.

>>46012811
Fun times with Lotus cobra. If we're going beyond planeswalkers at mythic things get to be stupid, especially if you're including standard in the list of 'mythic cards that were format staples.'
>>
>>46012811
Oddly enough, Lotus Cobra never really reached "format staple" levels of play. Not because it wasn't good enough, but because the standard environments it was in were so degenerate and dominated by specific decks that it never had a chance to shine.
>>
>>46012794
Turn 3 6/5 flying with first strike, plus something cast with madness sounds good.
>>
Why did Sorin not reply Nahiri's first call for aid?
Where the fuck was Nahiri during ROE and BFZ/OGW? Any speculations, hints?
>>
Has it ever been explained what "show up to be killed" was doing in Zendikar undergound? Could he have corrupted Nahiri with the brand new "Eldrazi have color now" disease and made her a toold of their revenge?

>>46013014
Sucking dick.
>>
>>46011083
First thing I thought of when I saw the card was a transform deck in pauper with moonmist, then I saw the rarity

I feel you
>>
>>46013043
not fucking likely, anon.

>>46013014
Sorin didn't because he was probably making Avacyn or some shit, he totally would show up if he could.
>>
>>46012867
He's on the pack art, of course he's in
>>
>>46012925
>CREATURES CAN DIE THEREFORE THEY'RE BAD.
>>
>>46013014
My theory is that Sorin didn't show up when Nahiri first called because he didn't take it seriously, Nahiri found him and they fought, and he felt guilty and showed up during Zendikar block partially in the hope of making it up to her/fixing their friendship. For whatever reason she couldn't make it, and now blames him for Zendikar because she assumes he didn't show up again, and he was the only one who could since she was incapable and Ugin was dead.
>>
>>46012580
JTMS was from the third wave of Planeswalkers.

WotC has a track record for fucking up unexplored design space, look at what Mirrodin unleashed by introducing equipment and a whole slew of artifact cards. Hell, they didn't even figure out equipment in time for Kamigawa and thus we have Jitte.

They never really figured out what "too good" meant for Planeswalkers until they fucked up with Jace.
>>
>>46013338
They also specifically pushed the shit out of JTMS because Jund was running rampant in standard at the time, and they wanted to throw blue-based control a bone.

Of course it didn't work, Jund remained dominant until Alara rotated out, and then the boogeyman Jace was designed to compete against was no longer there to keep him in check.

They've since stopped designing cards that way.
>>
>>46013487
>They've since stopped designing good cards, if a good card come out they apologize and say it was a mistake then ban it in modern
>>
>>46013168
>Five mana and two cards for a creature that does nothing meaningful other than be a removal magnet is good, guys!
>>
>>46009133
so avacyn//nahiri confirmed? two seperate entities? please have them be seperate.........
>>
>>46013790
They are
>>
>>46013790

Well it's still possible that Nahiri was sealed as a powersource or lost in the Helvault or the moon or something... but otherwise, yeah, looks like they're separate.
>>
>>46012723
I prefer to leave it as Insidious Mist, since its almost impossible to remove in that form.
>>
>>46011831
How is Nahiri is still alive post-mending? Unlike Sorin and Ugin, without Godwalker power Nahiri has no inherent form of immortality or extreme longevity.
>>
>>46013989
Do we even know if Kor die from old age?
>>
>>46012925

>leading to you getting 2-for-1'd

It's an equipment dumbo, it doesn't go away because the creature goes away, in fact it stay around and stays transformed.

If the creature gets around then you get 1-for-1'd, which is fine.
>>
>>46013127
It's heavily implied that Sorin created Avacyn long before his collaboration with Ugin and Nahiri though
>>
>>46014095
Yet the new UR confirms Avy is 1000 years old.
