I really like Despise (ostracize + planeswalkers) and Dismember.The counter target spell that costs 1 is amazing. Really like Volt Charge as well. Fresh Meat makes me want to build green aggro. I love green aggro. Mutagenic Growth is fun as well. Triumph of Herds the new Overrun? Turns out they did make the 1/1 infect, in green. That lose infect Legend is pretty nice too. (+1 more for green aggro). I love the design of Myr Superion haha. The best Shrines are Red and White. __________________ -Schmitty 5th in Refs [192] in OH-IO (Catching up to xion_black) 2nd in Posts [5654] in OH-IO (Have a long way to go to catch Val) “If Brad Stevens is the future of coaching in college basketball, the sport is in a good place.” - Rick Pitino

Seems like this new set will be very friendly towards Death's Shadow.afk buying a playset. __________________ Bargain is not to powerful for EDH, EDH is to weak for Bargain!

Pretty sure Death's Shadow is still not that good. You don't really want to be self-burning yourself when a popular tier 1.5 deck is Valakut. And Jace.dec would just block with a sworded-up dude or bounce it all day. Or, ironically, counter it with the new Pay 2 life: counter target cost-1 spell spell.

Is it just me or does the Green Chancellor seem really strong?Its green so playing a 6/7 for 7 isn't awful, but if you got 2 in your hand first turn and drop that 4/5 for GGG.. Even being able to drop 2 mana elves first turn doesn't seem so bad.

Or Turn 1 Joraga Treespeaker plus the ability to Level him up. Then if you have another land plus Garruk you could cast them on turn 3 with another land. That's almost a perfect draw but it's possible.

Chancellor of the Annex seems the most powerful to me, Force Spiking your opponent out of a 1st turn play seems fairly good against aggro. And then auto-spiking every spell they play once it hits the board is nasty. __________________ "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." -- Ronald Reagan

I sort of want to make a deck with all the chancellors and leylines even though it would be so sht tier.I am all about that Chancellor of the Dross. Sick to play 4-of in multiplayer? (which as we should all know is a way awesome multiplayer color) and it's gonna be great SB material for my Vampires commander (even though it doesn't look like a vampire and that's upsetting. Even Mephidross vampire still /looked/ like a vamp, albeit weird.) All of the Chancellors look so great, especially the Annex, and except for Rayne. What does everyone think about Dismember? I love the -x-x kill spells i just don't see this as being a maindeck option. Not even great as a colorless removal spell. The 5 toughness killer doesn't reach anything too major, none of your 6/6's for six... I guess it hits an exemplar'ed Hero of Bladehold. I think if it only cost two P-mana it'd be awesome, even going back down to a -4-4 like grasp. So, who wants to make me an alternate Chancellor of the Dross with a sexy scantily clad vampire girl instead of Robodracula?

Looks like New Phyrexia has been added to Gatherer. No more Googling for the Godbook for those that want to see it.*EDIT* to correct the link. *EDIT* OK, I can't get the link to work for some reason, but it's there -lol

I plan on making a Death's Shadow deck work at least in casual. Also, I have plans for dealing with both Jace, Hawks, Valakut and other tier 1 standard, extended and legacy decks.

try this: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&set=|[%22New%20Phyrexia%22]you can't use the shortened URL link because of the brackets used in the URL. You could tinyurl it or something I guess. This seems easier, while less clean.

Thanks. I kinda figured it was something along those lines with the brackets.

Spiders are awsome, we need more of them in Magic. Eight-Legs-And-Eyes - 3GG (kamigawablock) (R)
Legendary Creature - Spider Cleric (lol cleric wut?) Reach, can't be blocked except by creatures with flying. When you play ~ put two 1/1 green spider tokens with reach onto the battlefield. Whenever ~ deals combat damage or whenever you cast a spider spell put a 1/1 green spider token with reach onto the battlefield. Exile a spider you control: Destroy target creature with flying. If that creature is indestructible tap it; it does not untap during its controler's next untap step. 2/4 SPIDER FTW
