card named "death stroke" i think (BB, destroy target tapped creature) the picture of a warrior dressed in black and gold striking down an angel. lead me to read about the adventures of the weatherlight, fell in love with the love story and tragedy of the Guardian angel Selenia, and the young noble named Crovax.
I have my Crovax the accursed edh, and in currently on the hunt for a Selenia to complete the set, so they can at least battle forever together...
probably want to make a Selenia and ascendant evicar. and that white time spiral one.

>>47675538
It's interesting to note that the two card combo that took down Kozilek and Ulamog would be completely ineffective against Emrakul.
I think what they did is smart - they killed off the two Eldrazi no one really cared about, set up the third one to wreck shit on a fan favorite plane where it's powers and effects can really shine and even fit in with the theme.

How about sacrificing Zendikar in some way to trap the Eldrazi there? Or using some kind of planeswalker magic to erase Zendikar (including Eldrazi) from existence or something? Something impactful would be more fitting than 'group of heroes comes together, saves the day'. The battle against Phyrexia cost countless lives. To seal the time rifts, many planeswalkers died and the nature of reality changed. Now we're in a similar crisis, and a bunch of neowalkers just saves the day with no collateral damage? Get out of here.

But I guess superheroes are just what most people are into nowadays.
>>
>>47683799
>no collateral damage

Nigga, 95% of the plane is dead...
>>
>>47684150
As a result of the initial attack, yes. But the planeswalkers' actions did not even cause a single injury, let alone serious collateral damage. Do you also blame superheroes for the casualties and damage that occurred before they arrived at the scene?

What's this initial attack crap? By the end of the block the Zendikarian army was barely a fraction of what it was when Gideon started with it.

If an entire world is down to 15% of it's population, and you try to save it and 10% more die, you're still responsible for getting 66% of the remaining population killed, even if you barely squeaked out a win.

I do blame superheroes for having egregious troop loses.
