Yea, should have been a lot more specific...I just want the card to do, eventually, what Vindicate does. Blow up whatever the hell it wants to.

Interesting. I wonder what X spell it was designed to counter. Bonfire, I guess.

I have a black/blue mill deck for edh that has no problem with multiplayer. I've milled people to death sure, but thats not the fun part. The fun part is stealing everything in their graveyard :-) Now with Lazav that will be even easier

I think people are overlooking the battalion effect on medic. Being able to swing freely with a GoST AND stacking the triggers so that the angel is indestructible is making me very happy. American Gladiators (RWU Humans) is looking very strong after GTC.Unfortunately, most of GTC as a set looks like jank. Maybe that's a good thing if it turns out only the rares/unc/commons are desirable for constructed play.

BW and UG mythics will see play and hold a strong value due to multi format (In this case EDH, maybe legacy/modern for UG) otherwise so far I see a few strong c/u's and a few rares... TONS of EDH stuff, but aside from a few obvious ones nothing expensive. __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me. "Lord Crovax"

Agreed. I think there are enough double strikers in the format to warrant testing, especially when its primarily a pump spell that doubles as a decent body for a decent cmc if absolutely needed. Also liking the extort guy, primarily for zombardment legacy decks, though its possible that we see a viable smallpox list in modern with this guy. I think the UG guildleader is overhyped. Bant control wants revelation more, and unless there are unspoiled cards that make turbofog a viable strategy, I don't see a home for her in constructed.

UG leader seems more a Modern/Legacy card, probably leaning heavily towards modern. Pod into UG leader, get a fatty, draw a bunch. Maybe. for standard, it's maybe a 1-2 of at most... I'm wondering if any Infect lists will go GR for uncounterable pumps, as this one seems good enough, if they print 1-2 more, could be a thing. Extort guy just seems like he has so much value...I can see him played in multiple formats easy.

So far it's either Ghor-Clan Rampager or the creature tutor Diluvian Primordial 5UU Creature-Avatar Flying When Diluvian Primordial enters the battlefield, for each opponent, you cast up to one target instant or sorcery card from that player's graveyard without paying its mana cost. If a card cast this way would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it instead. 5/5

Skaarg Guildmage RG Creature - Human Shaman RG: Creatures you control gain trample until end of turn. 1RG: Target land you control becomes a 4/4 Elemental creature until end of turn. It's still a land. 2/2I can't decide between Gruul or Boros for the prerelease

Boros hoping for good gruul to make a Naya deck Boros just seems to have stronger commons, uncommons, and rares/mythics, extra pack seems better... Least that's how I see it. __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me. "Lord Crovax"
