roughly translated as "At the beginning of each end step, if you control four or more creatures named [cardname], you win the game."
I love this as I love all alternate win condition cards and I will find a way to break it
maybe with Essence of the Wild
edit: wait no that wouldn't work without some serious manipulations since Essence would overwrite the effect, looks like I'm stuck with Followed Footsteps and the like
The only real use I see for that Gideon is as a finisher in Control decks with Tamiyo, Martial Law, and board wipes and that sort of thing. But then why wouldn't you just add black and use Obzedat or whatever?
EDIT: And for the record, blue is the best color. Forget counterspells and all that nonsense, I love the quirky stuff blue does like Arcane Melee and combo-y cards like Intruder Alarm.

New Gideon seems like he is falling into that cross-section of cards that aren't very good for competitive play, but make your friends hate you in casual. Kinda like Phyrexian Obliterator or Iona, Shield of Emeria.
Also Dat Guildmage! Give me all the tokens.

But seriously can I get some more Simic cards? I need to make a simic golgari deck
So is Gruul's strategy at this point "hope any opponent playing a different guild gets a bad mana draw so they can't actually play any of the things that shut you down completely?" Hexproof I guess?
Yeah.... Hands of Binding is the first drop I've seen for Gatecrash that all my friends are going to have to build decks specifically around dealing with. And that's honestly the very least fun part of Magic for me. Sigh.
Edit: okay done with my tantrum now. I'm being an angry Timmy.

new simic spoiler
it's an unblockable creature with Evolve, named approximately "Elusive Mutant" when translated
Simic nut draws are going to be the absolute best. As satisfying as populating out a bunch of centaurs in RtR.
Hopefully there'll be enough support so that evolve guys drawn late game don't just sit on the battlefield looking sad as you fail to draw stuff to grow them with. Ideally an uncommon or two that can bounce your own dudes for value.
The ghost council is going to see heavy play. Enters the battlefield tricks are hot right now and that is one sick effect
The rg burn spell will see play, an X spell that hits multiple targets is very solid.
Cipher will probably only have one good card, and I think it's the one that was spoiled tonight. Still though investing in a play set of invisible stalkers might not be such a bad idea
Gideon tamiyo and jace will see play together in a super friends type deck, tamiyo and jace will probably see a slight bump in value
Naya decks are going to explode in popularity. They are already very strong, and appear to be gaining even more strength. Hold onto your Huntmasters if you have them they're going to skyrocket in value
ugh i traded both huntmaster and sphinx's while they were under priced for worse cards
I never get bragging about store credit. It's not a discount; it's still money you're paying. Not specifically at you, Buttlord, I see it everywhere. "I got this $60 thing on amazon for $5, thanks to [store credit]."

because i get store credit for either
A) doing nothing additional i do my regular work and get twice as many dollars in store money
the A variety, the one that i get literally because we met sales goals or whatever, i do absolutely nothing additional to get
it is literally free money to spend on nerd things
Yeah I assumed it's because you worked there, but I saw my chance to bitch about those types of posts in general and I took it. Again, wasn't directly aimed at you. You were the target of my Divine Reckoning.

I like them a lot
Just speculating a bit:
T1 1/1 Evolve guy
T2 2/2 Evolve guy (Two 2/2s)
T3 ? Evolve guy (Three 3 power guys)
T4 0/4 Evolve guy (Three 4 power guys)
That's the Pack Rack growth rate. 2 damage + 6 damage + 12 damage = you're dead turn 4.
Hopefully there'll be enough support so that evolve guys drawn late game don't just sit on the battlefield looking sad as you fail to draw stuff to grow them with. Ideally an uncommon or two that can bounce your own dudes for value.
A card that copies type and card name at uncommon
a clone with evolve at rare
I, for one, enjoyed playing 8-10 geralfs messengers
ugh i traded both huntmaster and sphinx's while they were under priced for worse cards
duuummmbb
spend that money on the cardboard
gettin' me all flustered over here
also I would preorder but I won't be guaranteed the buy-a-box promo anyway so eff it
Potentially the same price point and some fun games and also less money spent at one time
that last bit is important because it allows me to pretend I'm not wasting a ton of money
Debating if I can go to a prerelease thing though. Kind of want to for once.
and these ones even come with those rad boxes for each guild (I assume/hope those will be continued for GTC)

it is
get owned
how you doods all gettin' deals
I pay full price like a shmuck
every so often i'll go spend an entire day at the nerd store and make an assload of store credit so that i can buy shit without cash money
this is on top of the fact that i get store credit every week
A) doing nothing additional
the A variety, the one that i get literally because we met sales goals or whatever, i do absolutely nothing additional to get
it is literally free money to spend on nerd things
