Dies to Removal

DocLawless

I know a guy named Jace.

He's a fucking douche.

DocLawless

If there wasn't so much political relevance crammed into the Cersei chapters I'd skip over the whole thing every time I saw the bitch's name. Ditto for Sansa.

DocLawless

I can certainly see how someone could lose interest through books two and three. Honestly, book four didn't do it for me either when he only took half the characters he was writing about and saved the rest for book five, making book four about everyone I don't care about.

Val's on a roll.

Leyline of Lifeforce

Pros:
- Uncounterable creature spells mean you definitely get your land. Having uncounterable creatures is nice by itself too.

Cons:
- Somewhat obvious target for removal.
Karametra's a cast trigger, so whether the creature is countered, you still get your land.

Fair.

Chord of Calling

Pros:
- Basically a free creature in a deck with a ton of ramp and bodies.
- Puts tutored creature directly into play, which is pretty broken.

Cons:
-

[card]Faith's Reward[/card]

Pros:
- See Rootborn Defenses.

Cons:
- See Rootborn Defenses, +1 the mana.

DocLawless

Whenever I run a ton of creatures I'm always hyper-aware of how much I could get boned by a wrath. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=253529&type=card Rootborn Defenses Pros: - Fuck yo' board wipe. Cons: - 3 mana is a lot to keep open just tot stop one board wipe. - Off...

On the subject of anthems... http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=214352&type=card Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Pros: - See Angel of Jubilation , minus the ability to stop shenanigans but with the added benefit of doing slightly more to an empty board. Unless your opponents...

I don't think it's out of the question to have her manage to escape, soul at least partially intact and not as a zombie. Even if that's not how the Underworld works. R&D's rule is they don't break the rules until they do. If it ever does happen there'd be a story behind it, and it wouldn't be as...

DocLawless

Yup. Thematically, they've shown that one can escape the Underworld in Theros.

I'd like to see what a black/white Elspeth could do, personally.

DocLawless

Heliod killed her. Ajani carried her body to be taken to the Underworld by Erebos. It's possible she could then get out of the Underworld. It's also possible that Erebos could decide not to participate in Heliod's shit. Either way, it'll be a "Return to" block before we find out one way or...

SCG went full Kibler.

DocLawless

I don't want to assume it will be a normalcy, just shore up defenses against something that could shut Karametra down. But yeah, it can make Wasteland and Strip Mine effects repeatable too. That's a point in it's favor.

DocLawless

Strictly better than Worst Fears.

DocLawless

Yeah, I follow MaRo's tumblr and he's constantly saying the color pie is sacred, so that art is definitely not going to see print on a black card.

DocLawless

Yeah, Dryad Arbor isn't a spell.

Assuming there will be some amount of land destruction, what about...

Helps come back faster from a mass land destruction wipe, and makes Fetches reusable.

DocLawless

Our Karametra player can routinely have all 37 of his lands in play by turn 8-10. I come from a meta where there is no land destruction at all, so my suggestions will likely be jaded by that. If we're running lots of cheap, little creatures and a ton of land I think this is a good inclusion. http://...

DocLawless

Soul of the Harvest literally has no drawback. Getting a 6/6 for 6 is fair in any color, but adding Trample and a draw engine to that is insane.

DocLawless

We were talking about this the other day, and I found this artwork on the internet. According to MaRo's Tumblr, sometimes they will use a piece of art to tell the story but that art doesn't make it into the set because it'd be a huge spoiler. http://37.media.tumblr.com/3ca7fc8626c90c34c13ec413d1e3e1...

Avenger of Zendikar

Pros:
- Win condition if played appropriately.

Cons:
- Basically asks someone for a board wipe.

Have we submitted this one yet?

Pros:
- Serious threat.

Cons:
- 6 cmc sucks, I guess.

It's two parts in the red where I started coloring what should have been white, because fuck paying attention.

Evidently it's birthday season. Happy birthday Raida and LD.

DocLawless

Val posted it first. He should get credit for the submission.

DocLawless

Evidently I proposed Enlightened Tutor after Val had already done it. Between the two posts it has two votes.

Also, if we're voting in cards that grab things like Magister Sphinx and Trading Post, we should probably also vote in Magister Sphinx and Trading Post.

DocLawless

I think we've all overlooked an important factoid. It's not just Raida's birthday. It's Raida's 21st birthday.

DocLawless

K I see Onar's posts but no dialog. What am I supposed to be seeing? He hasn't done anything...yet. Well, except for just being annoying by posting constantly in this group and talking to people that I know as if he knows them really well. Which he doesn't. That, and he keeps referencing that lame ...

DocLawless

Hey, look. Koth is on the July promo.

DocLawless

I like to think there is a short story around "Duel Decks: Sorin vs. Tibault" wherein Tibault decides to fuck with Sorin and Sorin kills him to death.

DocLawless

Right. But Garruk can handle another two or three.

DocLawless

I think they killed Koth too. Someone told me they did. I never read those novels so I don't know that for a fact.
