That's a lot of mythics. The Angel is pretty sweet, nice Boros card to help you end games. The PW is meh, I think.~MM __________________ Blah, blah, blah werewolf. Smackity-smack not a werewolf. Suspicious of this fruit loop. My vote this round will be for Player X.New keeper of the Logout button

Actually, Rade looks quite good, especially in a format with Sensei's top.And hellkite seems good in Jhoira EDH.

New G/R Legend is amazing in EDH as General....play stuff like Life from the Loam in some sort of 40-50 land deck... Into the Infinite seems made for Legacy Show and Tell decks...

Guys, these might not be real.All planeswalkers printed, to date, have some part of their art extend outside of their art box. Domri does NOT. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Nope. Nissa, DD Garruk, and DD Liliana are all within their frames. Also, the biggest tell that these are legit? Nobody can find the art for some of them. That's the biggest tell for *any* fake, as it's the hardest to get away with. also, lol/facepalm at all of the people confused about the second PW being Gruul. "but what about Kiora...?" __________________ It is a known fact that more Americans watch the television than any other appliance.

Everything spoiled so far is crap for constructed play. The PW might see play if gatecrash is filled with enough creatures to support his first 2 abilities, but in the world of restoration angel, snapcaster, thragtusk, and GoST, he's got a LOT of work ahead of him.

Redudancy is always a good thing. Though, it seems more likely that his -2 will be used with a deathtoucher or a lifelinker as a way to increase the value.

The G/R PW might be REALLY good in formats that contain Brianstorm, Ponder, Top or any other card to manipulate the top of your deck. Then it just becomes Phyrexian Arena minus the loss of life.There is this thing called RUG I hear.... I'll agree, right now in the Current Standard it's pretty lame. Pretty good in draft/limited too I might add.

I think you mean "= you have no win condition and will lose to decking in two turns" Enter the Infinite is terrible and should only maybe be played in EDH. Otherwise, bulk mythic.

What, did you think he meant you play Enter the Infinite before Omniscience? That'd be pretty dumb, yeah. But legacy Dream halls Omniscience into burning wish into the Infinite into whatever obtuse combo you choose!

No, I meant Omni into Infinite. The card is terrible. It takes up a slot and doesn't do anything without the other. At least Burning Wish can answer a problem, and petals are strictly better as a win condition. Unless you revamp your entire list, enter the losers bracket will leave you without a way to generate 20 storm.If it becomes popular, which it won't, people will just sideboard into a draw spell like Inspiration.

I meant just for casual. No need for such tunnel vision when it comes to card combos.

Its not sarcasm, and clearly you don't play competitive legacy if you think it is.

Then clearly you are not very good at competitive Magic if you think you are gonna resolve a spell when I have an omniscience in play and my deck in my hand

I think we have a clear misunderstanding.Omnitell uses show and tell to resolve Omniscience and cast Burning Wish for petals of insight and generate infinite storm for a grapeshot or tendrils. Enter the infinite would draw your entire deck, leaving you without the ability to use the petals engine, thus having to play other cards to accumulate storm. Not to mention.. Most combo decks don't run countermagic. Therefore, I believe that OmniTell and InfiniteTell are two completely different decks, but I still think that Omnitell is far superior.
