Anything that hoses draw-go is kinda meh, right? Since players have spoken already and R&D has already killed draw-go long ago, right? Besides counter magic and EOT draw isn't the only thing happening at instant speed. Voice of Resurgence is one sweet card. Regardless of whether or not it's "good," it's cool. It's tough to elegantly put its ability in text, glad they did though. If they sorcery speed Murder it, me no care :0

Council of the Absolute naming Sphinx's Revelation... I like that it can either be used as an enabler for yourself or to disable a card your opponent is playing. And the 4 toughness is nice too. Now if only he had flash...

Him having flash wouldn't matter much. It wouldn't "counter" a spell. Far/Away is super awesome.

I think he meant that as having Flash so he can play it EOT of his opponent's turn and doesn't have to get tapped out during his turn . I also agree that Far/Away is super awesome!

It is such an awful, cop-out card, so this seems appropriate.

All together now: if you hate, never want to play, or can't see a use for a card, then it wasn't designed for you. If lightning bolt ever gets reprinted again, remind me to bitch endlessly about how it's unplayable in EDH.

It was meant as a joke, people are complaining about draw-go strategies. Because he doesn't have flash I don't think it will see constructed play due to them not wanting to be tapped on their turn. On the other hand, UWR could play him naming Mizzium Mortars, one mana mortars or 4 mana overloaded mortars seems pretty good right now, especially since their opponent can't mortars him to kill him.

Not quite sure I understand the joke, but this is the first time I preordered something. Snapped up a playset for $69 from Troll and Toad

I will be the party pooper and say Voice of Resurgence looks better on paper than in real play.The card has awesome abilities and is aggressively cost, but at the end of the day, it relies heavily on your opponent's action to trigger it. It's almost like a Grand Abolisher that your opponent could choose to ignore in critical moments. It's still great to get something out of it when it dies though. __________________ (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The thing that pushed me over the edge to pre-order is that the token it produces is usually a 3 mana creature (granted not an amazing creature). And we all know how annoying creatures that leave friends behind are

Pardon my stupidity, but because advent of the wurm is an instant, does the creature have flash? Love wear//tear and flesh//blood. With fetchlands enabling us to do anything with colors, their versatility is sweet.

It's not a creature spell, it's an Instant, so there's no need for Flash to be involved. If you meant Haste instead of Flash, then no, but since it's an Instant that puts a creature token onto the field, only the Instant timing matters. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.

I am with you. Don't think it's awful, but not much more than a roleplayer that isn't particularly impactful.

So I cast the instant during my opponent's combat step, he then can block a creature and attack next turn

Yes. After your opponent declares blockers you can cast Advent of the Wurm and you will have your token available to block something. It looks like another year of having to think twice when attacking into 4 open mana.

Not as scary when there are 3 colored mana in the cost. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 12000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario and Canada 9th in posts on MOTL 5th in Refs in Ontario Pushing to get to top 100 in MOTL Refs

Would you be ble to imprint this on an Isochron Scepter and play both abilities with fuse? Or even seperately?
