Yes, another Dragon that I have to put a disclaimer I'm not collecting.I like Serra Avatar, fun card...hope for Sneak attack to also be in set then. Decimate the value of two of my favorite Saga singles.

If Serra Avatar wins tournaments the value is going to skyrocket.Look at Solemn Simulcrum and it's not even mythic.

Gotta say, I never thought I'd see Serra Avatar come out again!I couldn't find the picture of it though...? EDIT: Found the pic (durff!) I actually like it better than the original. As for the CGI aspect of stuff... well, a lot of cards seem to be very digital, but still strikingly beautiful. However, I still yearn for a nice painted artwork. The skill shown in the artwork is what has always amazed me about MTG.

Agreed. It has a great deal of potential. 1/1 blue fliers are getting rather good these days. EDIT: Also, black FINALLY gets unrestricted removal in the form of Murder. 1BB is almost a decent cost, too. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Not really, it's the black equivalent of Cancel. And that 1/1 flyer is, IMO, a trap. There's still a lot to be spoiled, so I guess we will see how it turns out, but right now there's simply much better ways to attack the opponent.

What does "not really" refer to? The fact that it's unrestricted, or that 1BB is almost playable? quote: And that 1/1 flyer is, IMO, a trap. There's still a lot to be spoiled, so I guess we will see how it turns out, but right now there's simply much better ways to attack the opponent.
Could be, but I see no reason not to test it. Most of the graveyards I see have ten or more cards in them pretty quickly. Reverse-threshold + 3 is obviously worse than regular threshold, but I think there's some potential there. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

With better mill cards, it may be a decent beatstick. if there's a couple similar beaters and possibly another way to punish full graveyards it might be fun. edit: it could probably be somewhat consistent a 5/5 for turn 3, is what i'm thinking. __________________ Looking to buy any Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief oddities/pimp.My trades My sales

Opponent's graveyard. So sadly it doesn't work with Innistrad selfmill.

I'd forget about milling entirely, and think instead of formats where graveyards fill up fairly quickly (and the aggro-control decks that help to fill them).__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

That's exactly why the card is a trap. RUG delver often has problems getting it's nimble mongoose to hit threshold in a timely manner, so why would an OPPONENT hitting 10 in a timely manner seem somehow reasonable? And this is legacy we are talking about. And to clarify my earlier statement - Murder isn't really constructed playable in a field full of delver, GoST, huntmaster, Thalia, and the ever-present turn 1 mana dork, turn 2 sword, turn 3 smash. Too durdly, and right now there are too many more efficient options.

Didn't even realize that thing flew. I'm also loving Murder, especially for EDH. Gives me another spot removal spell for my Kresh deck that can hit anything at all.

... I didn't say anything about self mill or threshold? Jace's Archivist, Memory Adept, Mind Sculpt, Thought Scour. Maybe Mindshrieker and Drownyard. Not saying mind sculpt is a good card but i just want to see how playable it actually is. Phantasm punishes graveyard archetypes, like dredge, solar flare, heartless lich, and u/b control on it's own anyway, which is fun. Murder is just EDH/limited card. I have been waiting for it forever, though, i've known for years eventually there would be an instant speed unrestricted piece that would cost 1BB. edit: Chill of foreboding, can still mill yourself. I kind of want to play this __________________ Looking to buy any Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief oddities/pimp.My trades My sales

It's a 2/1 for 3 that doesnt actually do anything. Your next draw could have been any of those anyway. So you're either playing an irrelevant creature on curve and now have a 5/6 drop when you just want a land, or playing an irrelevant creature as your 5/6 drop and setting up next turn. Just play Green Suns Zenith. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

I think maybe he means for EDH, and I agree with him if that's the case. I dunno anything about standard, but I think you might be discounting the ability a little too much. Yeah you can totally draw into one of those cards, but I'm not so sure that argument will get you anywhere. You can always pray for a topdeck.
