What do you think about him?

>>50083028

Ridiculously under-costed for his effect and stats. Made him a mythic to fuck over constructed players. Perfect example of WotC's current poor management of the game.

Idk i kinda like him because he is so overpowered but if u get him out and someone just does a kill spell ur screed af because he is one of ur only hopes of winning most times

>>50083028
He's great, play him in Jund with seal of fire for instant value. Single handedly beats burn and gives your removal even more value

>>50083028
should have been a 3/2 at 4 cmc

he can be dealt with but holy shit is he good in the decks that play him

The win con in the last five games with my Grixis Deck.

He is way too good for a 4 CMC.

>>50083028
has one ass too much.

Dies to removal.
But when he doesn't he's kinda stupid good.

>>50086003
>4 toughness
>4 cmc
>"dies to removal"

you mean he trades 1:1 with similarly costed removal at worst, ya goob

>>50083028
4 mana do-nothing creature. Doesn't die to removal because the game is over before he can be cast.

Cletus is a beast.

>>50086390
He's no True Name Nemesis

>>50086426
Well, no, I didn't say he was.

>>50083028
Nice abs

>>50083028
Why does he wear the mask?

>>50086390
why did he throw an extra comma into that sentence

>>50086041
In Standard, sure.

>>50083028
Should have been a 3/3

As its stands its Jund's flavor of the month until wizards prints another 4 drop card.

>>50083028
price is way too high, fucking wizards of the coast jews printing him at mythic. i want one for my vampire tribal edh
reprint when

Got one in a booster pack.

Not really into magic anymore though, so I'm thinking of selling it back for store credit and buying warhams.

>>50086601
Don't complain about the price of the car, accept that you can't afford it and move on.

>>50086505
Might be self-parody.

I hope it's self-parody.

We know that wizards gets to add an arbitrary buff to cards that are mythic, the same is true for making things legendary.

According to gatherer, Kalitas is double buffed for his mana weight and cmc.

>>50083028
Egregious power creep.

is he still played in standard? haven't payed attention to pro tour etc. lately

>>50088074
GB Delirium uses him as one of their brickwalls. He kinda just ruins the game by standing around on the field, and the Ishkanah that'll inevitably come next just seals the deal.

>>50087425
Being a 3/4 for 4 with creature exile (for only opponents) and zombie creation should be good enough for mythic level.

Stapling on lifelink and a sac outlet that buffs him is overkill.

>>50087438
Complete shit in a zombie deck

It can't even block for crying out loud.

>>50087425
>>50087438

Weird design space. Seems really weak.

>>50083028
Fucking annoying. It feels like rather than design and balance the card they just made two extremely relevant effects and stapled it onto a 3/4 lifelinker.

My bad.

>>50090230
Everyone thought that new Chandra would be TMS 2.0, but it turned out to be pretty shitty.

>>50090201
I'm sure the Gearhulks aren't any significant part of the story and Torrential GH is almost powerful enough to be modern playable

>>50089007
Mindwrack is very powerful right now in standard

It's a strong card it just requires a dedicated delirium deck

>not designed for competitive play
Here's your (you).

This has always meant "not exclusively designed for competitive play". As in, they will still print cards designed for competitive play at all rarities, not just at mythic.

There are other card games in which the rares are all garbage, and the only cards worth playing are secret habanero ghost reverse secret rares, made with real secret so you know its good. This is bad because if you open a pack and don't get the 1 good card in a box, you've wasted your money. And it drives up the cost to enter. Etc.

>playing a Commander card in Modern
you whot

>>50092033
>Commander Card

>>50083028
good in commander but thats about it

>>50083028
Good card.
My fiancé cracked one in a pick she won for coming in 4th at her first FNM draft.
She runs him in her Meren EDH deck and loves it.

>>50083429
Why seal of fire?

>>50092109

You play seal of fire on like, turn 1. Then turn 4 you play Kalitas, then pop the seal to kill their duder and get a 2/2

>>50086505
to inflate it just a little bit

>>50083028
Lightning Axe on sight or lose the game.

>>50083028
FEATURING DANTE FROM DEVIL MAY CRY

>>50083028
just pulled this guy from a booster i bought on my grocery trip. should i sell it now or wait?

>>50083028
I want him to fuck Drana's tight vampire ass

>>50092100
You forgot an -e, queer

>>50086041

Grasp of Darkness is 4 cmc?

>>50083028
As far as standard mascot creatures go, he seems pretty normal. Doesn't feel any worse than when it was thragtusk or the Titans dominating stuff.

Way too pushed. I lose every game that it stays alive more than 1 turn.
It's the Junks player favorite type of card, undercosted, strong against most conditional removal, has a evergreen
slaped on it just because and it's the one that weakens one of black's main downsides, grows, generates advantage under the condition of just keep doing what the black color has best to offer.

>>50097520
Sac'ing a zombie to add +1/1

he is good in standard and modern sideboard

>>50100044
Grasp is an instant. Stop sequencing badly.

Harness lightning is also card, minus 1 to 2 energy from your pool. Easy to play around the buff.


IMOP he's actually better in modern than in standard, because modern's pool of removal is mostly things like bolt. He only dies to terminate and path

>>50105117
You can sac a zombie in response. It's an ability.

Harnessed Lightning is a pretty dumb card, yeah it would probably deal with Kalitas under normal conditions (ie.having 2 energy in not hard at all) as you can't never anwser and make your oponnent spend energy needlessly.

But yeah, you're right about it being better in Modern than standard. But it is a pushed card and will play any fair format that it touches.
