I don't have any, nor do I plan on owning either card :P. Unplayable planeswalkers be bad yo.

It's just card filter and bounce which is absolutely fine since it is usable every turn. He starts off with 5 Loyalty which is rather high. He has the potential to soak up some damage. It's not insane buts it not complete crap either. It will help complement Thassa with 2+ more devotion to blue and to dig a little deeper.
I'm not even talking about "power level." The first two abilities just seem bad to me (for Standard). I'd rather just play a ton of scry than use his +1 ability. What you throw away will almost always give away more information than you really would like. His -3 doesn't exactly solve problems either since you can't use it at instant speed. I don't get how this planeswalker is even useful. Tibalt literally seems more useful to me than this card. quote: Originally posted by skizzikmonger: New Jace would work in a modern Dredgevine deck
Seems slow, but that makes more sense than anything I can imagine in Standard. quote: Originally posted by hilikuS: I will swap at a 1 for 1 rate if you are willing.

Usefulness =/= Value, and yes I can for my own reasons. His ultimate is pretty cool if anyone manages to get there. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

Manakins, not Moxen. Enormous difference, but still an outrageously interesting card i want 4 of immediately. __________________ Want Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief, and other vampire females oddities (foreign, foil, crimp, miscut, misprint, sign, test print, alters, artist proofs, etc)

Convoke allows you to "pay" for the colored part too. I think that's why he was calling them moxen.

Easy turn-2 batterskull in modern affinity. And Stoneforge is never coming off the banned list now ever ever.

wouldnt that deck rather cast precursor golem and keep going off? maybe wurmcoil, soul of new phyrexia, something better than a bskull im sure. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."<crypticfreak1> jazaray got ahold of me. he also had a hard time finding the email. <Jazaray> She...

i could be wrong but i'd rather have a batterskull. i suppose if you build a more mid-range version of affinity, golem and 6 mana things would be good. but that makes memnites and vault skirges so bad. i'll probably be jamming thoughtcasts, engineers, and batterskulls.

Hey the painlands are back. Great -- I can finally sell off the few ones I got left from when they were legal. Hey the painlands are back. Ugh -- guaranteed I'm going to keep opening Brushalnds when the store goes to M15.

The WB and UR ones are both currently at ~$10 and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they drop a bit until people stop cracking M15 and switch to Khans.

Painlands are the one strike I have seen thus far against m15. They will prove interesting for Standard mana bases moving forward but in the big picture they are the suck.

I know why, but 98% of artifacts are colorless and can only convoke for (1), whereas moxen are colored. You couldn't cast Master Transmuter with by tapping four Ornithopters because they are colorless. Chief engineer will be great in casual, i want to play it in Modern so bad and find out. I assume Tarkir will not be an artifact heavy plane and Engineer will not see standard play, though.

According to Aaron Forsythe, the mythic rare Sliver is new. quote: a new mythic rare Sliver that every Sliver aficionado has been waiting for.
It is a safe bet that you are right, it will be gold and probably 5 color at that.

Yum. This engineer is exactly the excuse i needed to motivate myself to brew some jank artifact thing involving Tezz AOB, Grand Architect, Heartless Summoning, Wurmcoil, Sculpter, Transmuter, Hellkite, Sharding Sphinx, Master of Etherium, Tempered Steel plus whatever combination of other obvious choices from modern Robots. Now Batterskull or a Sword may do very finely, or Moltensteel Dragon. __________________ Want Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief, and other vampire females oddities (foreign, foil, crimp, miscut, misprint, sign, test print, alters, artist proofs, etc)

New Garruk is likely not Standard playable except maybe as a kne-of? But the flavor and design work well together in producing what looks like a fun card. I am thinking of some sort of BG Commander deck that uses porlifrate to get him to 8 mana for ultimates shenanigans!
