Will definitely be fun against Eldrazi in a control deck.

>>48100653
When it says spells, does it mean everything on the stack, permanents, as well as lands?
>>
>>48100777
fuggin cool, m8
>>
>>48100808
Lands aren't spells, and permanents are only spells when they're on the stack

But yeah, everything on the stack
>>
>>48100808
No. Just spells and abilities which have not resolved yet.
>>
>>48100808
Lands are not spells and do not use the stack. Permanents are only spells while on the stack.

Everything else is a spell while it is on the stack and would be exiled.
>>
>>48100808
Spells only exist on the stack. Cards already in play and land won't be touched.
>>
>>48100740
Oh that's a good point. I was just thinking Eldrazi but this works against Cascade too.
>>
>>48100808
You know that moment when literally everyone decided to cast their instants in a EDH game? That's what this card is for.
>>
>>48100653
I wonder why they chose to have it counter all abilities instead of exiling them along with the spells.
>>
>>48100852
Yup and I'm trying to grasp the subtle differences between countering a spell and exiling it.
>>
>>48100876
How the fuck would you exile an ability?
>>
>>48100653
How long has it been since we've had a card that could counter abilities? The last I can recall is like... Coldsnap.
>>
>>48100883
An extra "fuck you"
>>
>>48100883
Exiling gets around the "can't be countered" clause and for the most part deals with the problem permanently.
>>
>>48100886
The permanent can no longer activate that ability until it leaves the battlefield in some fashion?
>>
>>48100883
Gets around "can't be countered"
>>
>>48100922
That's not how exiling works. You can't exile text, you exile cards.

>>
>>48100886
The only difference between a spell and an ability re: stack presence and interactions is that the latter isn't represented by a card. Think of it as exiling a copy of a spell - it leaves the stack and then poofs into nonexistence.
>>
Looks like an oath to me.
>>
>>48100951
No, but by the time you cast this card the ability is on the stack and so gets countered. The trigger isn't stopped, because it already happened, but the effect it generates is countered as part of this spell's resolution unless, for some reason, you wait for that effect to resolve before casting this.
>>

>>
>>48101058
Okay I think I grasp it now. if you played a counter spell against Ulamog or Kozilek, are you removing them as spells from the stack and preventing them from resolving, entering the battlefield and becoming permanents.

However the on-cast triggers of their abilities would still resolve as those trigger resolutions are independent from the permanent spell resolutions.

It's either that or a 2/2 black Zombie creature token tapped.
>>
>>48100653
So would this stop flip walkers and merge from resolving, thereby keeping them in exile?
>>
>>48101632
No.

You exile the creatures as part of the ability. If you exile the ability, the creatures never go into exile.
>>
>>48100886
Activating an ability puts an "ability" object onto the stack.
The stack resolves that object by resolving the abilities effect.
Ability objects can only exist on the stack, but like other objects can be moved around.
Exiling an ability object is like exiling a token object, it'll move into exile then be removed altogether when state based actions are checked.

The only thing i have to adjust for is the mana cost. This thing would be stupid if it was 2G instead of 1GG. Still a neat card, helps u transform those turn 1 and 2 drops while insulating them from death that turn. Perfect counter to people who try to rush you before u can gain too much steam.

I'd prefer a 6 mana powerouse like pic related than another 4 mana pile of meh. If that guy's right about the abilities though it's going to be a shitty card even at 3 mana.

At 3 mana she's almost viable just because of how fast she comes down. And again, while you shouldn't expect the ult to save a card, if it's good enough it'll really affect what play she sees.

>>
>>48102312

Because I've been testing and trying to make Zombies work for a while now. I've gone through lot of different iterations and basically the deck is actually resilient and can survive spot removal well. Can even recover back from board wipes slowly thanks to Relentless Dead as long as you have mana out. Often the case has been what do you play early on that buys you time to setup an overwhelming force however the deck is not superfast and tries to play a "fair" grinding game. Unless I go into Green for getting into Delirium/Gitrog/Groundkeeper then Wailing Ghoul doesn't always provide me the absolute best value in the list at 2cmc. It is so far the only list i've found where Epiphany at the Drownyard is straight up perfect in there.
>>
>>48100653
Is this the first universal counterspell? Or am I missing something that gets past this?
>>
>>48102470
There's shit that allows you to play things directly from your hand or library into play.

This would counter such abilities, but whatever you are putting into play doesn't get revealed until the ability has already resolved. So either your opponent potentially wastes this on a nothing ability or your big and scary thing hits the field.
>>
>>48102470
It can't stop Split Second, but I would still consider it a universal counterspell.

>>48102470
Universal in what way? Countering both spells and abilities? Sundial of the Infinite arguably does this.

There is no way the +1 is right, that ability is terrible. I think the leaker templated it wrong and it actually reads: -2/-1 until the beginning of your next turn so it protects Liliana.

If they're doing this turn 0, that's a resource out of their hand that they don't get to use later. One shot, 6 life. It's not nearly as bad when you have 7 cards in hand as it would be when you're down to topdecks and what's left of your board presence.

Presumably, since the card is nonlegendary, not all Snapcaster Mages look like just like Tiago - there could indeed by chubbygingermuttonchops Snapcasters.
That said, it doesn't look anything like the rest of Snapcaster, so I'd say no, it's not a Snapcaster, just a geistmage of some description.

Sure thing. http://deckstats.net/deck-10497657-70c3c30bd69f1d0110d0855850fba185.html

I believe this was the last version I was testing with before I shelved it away until EMN. So far the one thing I definitely want to try is the new pseudo Remand/Boomerang from EMN into the list. Possibly Gisa and Geralf as a way to easily cast stuff out of the graveyard.

So I was looking at old Daily MTG stuff and I stumbled on this:
>http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/wedge-2011-06-06

>The reason I asked for this preview card is because its design is very near and dear to my heart. Note that I didn't design any of the cards in the set. My preview card just hits close to something I did in my very first design, Tempest.

>I created a spell that I called Meld. The idea behind it was that you took two creatures in play and melded them together. The original card made a creature that had a combined power and toughness as well as all of the two creatures' abilities.

So MaRo has been waiting for this since apparently the first set of his career, and yet they still only managed to print 3 of them.

I'm curious what the chances are we'd ever see something like Comander Precons with a Commander that Melds with one of the 99.

>Yugioh

Not at all you fucking retard.
Yugioh fusion mechanics always rely on 2 (or more) cards fusing up into a THIRD card that generally goes in the Extra deck, or in special cases in the main deck.
In yugioh you never ever take cards off their sleves, and XYZs come from the Extra Deck and are a different card.

Probably the first big tcg to implement something like this was Pokemon with the Legend Mechanics, but the cards only had one side making them not playable until you drew the other.

If you know shit about a topic you would be better shutting your mouth off.

Actually if there was some prevalent B mana dorks Zombie tribal would work in Modern. Believe me i've tried to make it with with a combination of Aether Vials and CoCo and the deck is just a tad too slow. It's fucking hilarious though when your 2/2 Zombies suddenly become 6/6 because of a few Vial activations and CoCo hits.

All standard really needs for Zombies to be relatively viable is a Lord that's cmc 3 or less and a reliable strong one drop Zombie.

We need to stop saying "designed for EDH".

The reason is because it gives Wizards a fucking excuse to print shit cards. Whether or not they printed it with EDH in mind they can fall back on that excuse.

You bet they need excuses. They use excuses for fucking everything, they cite Chronicles (a 20 year old issue) for the Reserve List, they talk about collector value, they say new players are intimidated by complex commons as justification for boring fucking Limited effects, they say "it's not for you" when preconstructed decks are full of garbage.

They have a huge list of excuses that the community repeats and the excuse lets them continue doing it. If we just called it for what it is, being lazy and not having ANY community input before a set is released, then they will be more conscious to not do it.

Making excuses for Wizards is not as bad as the 1 out of 100 people who actually want this shit, but it's still not going to get us cards we want.

I don't agree with that. It has a Lord effect - it burns based on how many spiders you have. I don't want every lord to be some pump effect like Merfolk or just gives keywords.

I don't think this Lord effect is that great, but it's certainly better than just raw pump or making it cheaper to cast Spider spells like the Warchief cycle.
>>
>>48105211
It costs seven mana to activate the lord effect and is dependent on the board state of a creature type that isn't all that fantastic.

This is probably the worst legend/mythic in a long time. Speaking as an EDH player who likes spiders, what the fuck. I didn't ask for this. The design is all over the place, it's overcosted in two ways, it has a pathetic body, it's pretty much weak to any sort of answer or removal, does nothing to help tribal, and the ability targets only one player. Green black? When so much more on Innistrad is going unprinted? Now isn't the time for that Wizards, save it for the inevitable Ravnica return.

I assume it's because they're much more aggressive and predatory on innistrad because of the nature of the plane.
Or it could just be keeping with the dual-colored tribe theme innistrad got.
>>
>>48105702
Maybe it's because spiders are generally creepy as fuck and associated with death because they pack venom.

Hell some spiders can cause necrosis. That's pretty fuckin black to me. Come to think of it, that spider's ability seems to stem from that since it's literally eating away at someone's life and tissue.

As someone who has a raging hard-on for jank tribal decks I for one welcome our new spider commander. I won't build a deck for him until I finish my werewolf tribal but I look forward to the look on my friends face when he whips out his regular angel tribal against this.

Sheeeeeit, I just realized that both the cmc and the ability's cost are the same.

That's some neat flavor there
>>
>>48105747
Artifact creatures, those enchantments that sacrifice themselves, and then any instant or sorcery and you have it.

I've been able to set it up plenty of times, and that was sometimes even in non-delerium colors and decks.

It really is not that hard with how slow limited can be.
>>
>>48105747
Black has the 2-drop self-mill zombie, green got the callback card with the eldrazi girl and the well and the teddy bear.

Also not e that less than half the set has been spoiled and it's mostly been flashy uncommons, rares and mythics, not the commons that are the building blocks of limited

>>48105748
Yes, Escalate is an additional cost, not an alternate cost.
>>
>>48105748

Nahiri is a legit bad card

Once the meta settles it'll basically go extinct. I mean fuck it gets bricked by a damn pithing needle in the color combo that has a hard time removing it. Plus you just have Emrakul floating around being a dead draw and a dead card in hand always.

The only Bad Planeswalker is Tibalt, and -maybe- the Sarken that has no +loyalty abilities.
>>
>>48107165
Or you could play an actually castable card and a planeswalker that doesn't rely on its fucking ultimate to win.
>>
>>48107260
It still is a T1 deck in Modern. Get over it, you whining like a moron isn't going to make the facts go away.
>>
>>48104738
That is honestly one of the worst mythics I've ever seen. It's behind the power curve and its main boon for playing it doesn't work if your opponent has a single card of graveyard hate. Fucking why wizards.

>>48106044
>I mean fuck it gets bricked by a damn pithing needle
You mean the Use In Case of Meta Problems card that's specifically intended to brick whatever it needs to brick?

Dies to discard and Leyline.

No, I'm just pointing out that literally anything gets bricked by Pithing Needle. That's the point of Pithing Needle. To keep people from casting cards you don't want them to cast.

>what's a pupper?

>>48101468
reddit already hates this card (well, /r/magictcg does. my fault for even checking.) which is enough reason for me to look for reasons to love it. the art is pretty, and is green without being "fuck you" levels of neon green.

flash creatures are so interesting with the Innistrad werewolves. I really wish there was a format I could feel comfortable building around it; it would a ton of fun to get wrapped up in transformation mindgames again. it sure would be nice if they had printed a legendary werewolf or something, so that I could have some weird and innovative mechanic to build around in EDH! oh well. maybe someday.

I don't hate it but why the fuck is it a mythic? Should've been a rare at most.
>>
>>48107745
Oath is surprisingly good

It basically makes each planeswalker you play protect itself for one turn in addition to whatever protection measures the walker has
>>
>>48107746
Like any single other planeswalker?

Iunno, they are pushing the power rangers to be solely monocolor. Im betting the secondary walkers are all gonna shift colors to fill up the missing combos
>>
>>48107707
I definitely don't hate it, and the fact that it's only 3CMC makes the relative weakness make sense.

It's about what I expected, and I'm preordering at least one in case Zombies become a thing in standard.

if they replaced garruk with nissa as the poster child for green they can definitely do the same with liliana.

Hell yeah! It's a motherfucking edict, and it mixes well between formats.

Can I just say that I love the art? This woman actually looks like a necromancer. She's got the immortality-level smugness DOWN.
>>
>>48107897
She's pretty bad, mang. But her Oath is damn good in the GW Tokens deck. I wonder if we're gonna see some kind of 4 color version with the Oath and Tamiyo.

Probably not.

>>
>>48107823
You know, there's nothing guaranteeing that the Gatewatch is going to be the same four morons moping around the multiverse. If they're really going for superfriends, the black planeswalker slot will likely be a revolving door of betrayal / apathy / disgust for Gideon being retarded and Jace being a faggot who erases his own memories.
>>
>>48107924

but nissa got the oath card, not garruk. I dont think they wanna clutter up the oaths now that they finally got one of each color.
>>
>>48107958
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is the backbone of the most powerful deck in current Standard dude. That's not fringe play. But I don't think this Liliana really fits anywhere for now.
>>
>>48107979

>>48108010

>>48107979
>GHideon being retarded

Now hold up just a second before you slander my husbando any further

Gideon might be cancer in current standard but he's not retarded. In fact, he's the only fucking member of the Gatewatch that does things other than brood on his own. He's the only one who has displayed the capability to treat non-planeswalkers with anything other than smugness, superiority or smug superiority. He's also the only one who has actually ever owed up to being wrong and making mistakes as evidenced by the aftermath of Order of Heliud trying to brainwash Chandra.

Gideon is the Tard Wrangler of the Gatewatch, the whip if you're familiar with the political terminology of the term. If you read the leaked art page, he's actually not opposed to Liliana joining the Gatewatch, he's just disappointed Tamiyo didn't and secretly hoped Lili wouldn't - but Gideon acknowledged Liliana saved the day and had her join on Jace's request.

What other kind of spells would she be bringing to this fight?

+1 allows 2/2 zombies to win combat against 3/2 ayys, and can keep her safe on an early board.

-2 meshes perfectly with everything this set is doing.

Emblems are utter nonsense that shouldn't really concern people talking about constructed playability IMO but end step Endless Ranks is very cute.

I have a new immortal waifu; Sorin has revealed his true colors as a disgusting daddy-complex control freak. This card is perfect to me. It embodies minimal effort, which is something the black side of the color pie should explore more (and happens to be very mechanically-oriented).

I'm glad they're going the route of actual leadership and compassion with a {W} planeswalker, but from the perspective of Liliana / next Cpt. Betrayal, he's a pretty cadaver with good CHA rolls.

Here you go anon, if you want to read it.

With Gideon, they're playing the trope of strong guy trying to do good without fancy magical powers. He's not genius-level intellect, he's not able to channel a plane's entire mana into an Eldrazi-killing fireball, but he can punch things hard, he can live through being punched hard and he is fair and just to others.

I think that they should have kept Nissa racist and stupid. Every plane with elves should make her go full THIS IS MY LIFE NOW, go native, and start doing all kinds of dumb stuff like releasing the Onakke spirits or getting into a fight with Chandra because she set somebody's treehouse on fire. Then, she ends up tripping balls in the forest (again), reaching a fucking incredible level of connection with the plane, its natural forces, and the nature of its mana (again), realizes that the elves on the plane are pretentious assholes (except her, of course), and uses her shaman powers to fuel the Gatewatch since nobody else apart from Kiora brought any Rampant Growths.
