Damn this set has some pretty serious flavour wins, but Gideon Riding Rakados into battle has got to be up there for best in set:

oh also be careful looking at spoilers if you are doing so for the story, major story reveals have been leaked including the ending of the story

can't be commander tho

wonder if she will get banned in Commander, as she is half of Leovold, Emissary of Trest but a bit easier to slot into a deck

new narset looks pretty good:

Or do you want to play a creature focused deck with the ability to recur things from your graveyard, mostly just out valuing your opponent with cards like Wildgrowth Waker and Find//Finality and some Varaska Planeswalkers.

@unicornturtle So to combine your question with Murgatroid's. Do you want to play a lot of disruption for a more control focused game, with hand-removal, creature removal, counter spells and win with either a small threat that your opponent can't deal with or something big like Nezahal, Primal Tide

also Timmy says hi:

@unicornturtle look into boardwipes like Ritual of Soot and cleansing nova, they will kill everything even if Tajic is on the board. Or if it is a weanie deck you can use cards like Cry of Carnarium or Golden demise

I really liked drafting the Highalert Archtype, could usually luck into it within the first pack as Arena bots didn't seem to like the card

Draft is a slower format, but the two cards that are amazing for the Big booty archtype in RNA is the knight arbiter and Sentinel's Mark

it also dosen't rot in your hand without highalert as it dosen't have defender

5/5 Vig unblockable is pretty decent for 5cmc if you have the highalert out

a little high but in UW that isn't too bad

but pretty friggen good with it

2/5 vig can't be blocked is ok without highalert

Azorius Knight-Arbiter is where it is at for U/W Butts

High Alert Standard!

Not just big butts, but look how loyal she is

also 2CMC wrath of Planeswalkers

ahh and you can mill yourself if you want and it still exiles the opps graveyard

happy that it is an uncommon though as it probably won't be too relevant in limited, but there is usually some sort of mill deck archtype hiding in the card pool. so someone will appreciate all the Ashioks wheeling round

This card is going to absolutely hose some decks and will really excel as a sideboard card

**And** if you hit an Eldrazi like Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with the mill it will be exiled before the shuffle trigger resolves. **AND** it can permanently get rid of the new god cards that get put 3 from the top when they die.

and that -1 is relevant too, damn this is a great uncommon

currently the cheapest way to get that effect actually, only Mindlock Orb and Stranglehold have it and they are both 4CMC

this might see play outside of standard

and hybrid of BU

3 mana 5 loyalty

Hey @doppelgreener look how showed up to the WAR party:

Ya, that is why I was asking if it would work with colourless creatures, murg answered with how his interpretation includes colourless is not a colour into "if those creatures are exactly the same colors"

would that work with colourless creatures?

that is some strange text, but how would you word it based on new niv?

Hmm wonder how this guy works with miracles....

plus 4cmc 4/5 flyer is just good anyway

not sure if there is any good way to put cards from your hand onto the top of your library in standard right now (I think there is a merfolk dude) but could be interesting to cast sorceries on your opponents turn by placing them ontop of your library and then opting during your opponents turn.

similarly this guy looks powerful and has a lot of text:

Just a lot of text on a card so takes a bit more time to process than a regular card

ya so if replacement then the original wouldn't even be cast so nothing to copy

yup

but no "instead" so it is in addition to

ahh ok, wasn't sure as sometimes those "X is greater than #" effects are replacements, and sometimes they are in addition to

I think it is 6?

say X =10 and you are casting a shock from your graveyard, how much damage does your opp take if you aim it all at face? 4 or 6?
