    Dack fayden is going to be a planeswalker in conspiracy and he's being pushed for legacy and vintage play.

    Which means they're going to try and make him just a little broken (because that's the only way to make a splash in vintage) which means he'll be busted as all hell.

    Or they'll swing and miss.

    Also possible. But better to swing for the fences, I think.

    Is there only one walker in Nyx?

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    I think they usually do five walkers per block, so Ajani would be the last one.

  • Anon the FelonAnon the Felon In bat country.Registered User regular
    Eh, at least they're going out with a good one. This whole block has had great walkers, I just wanted...

    One more.

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    just wait

    next block: 5 planeswalkers, all GRUUL

  • DaebunzDaebunz Registered User regular
    I will miss the format where I could play 9 md walkers in r/g

    I'll take it.

    Pharika sort of works against the current Dredge deck though.

    like she's not bad but she's just



    everyone else was cool


    and fuck master of the feast

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    I think Master of the Feast will have to wait until Desecration Demon rotates before people even consider playing him. Unless someone makes a weird Fate Unraveler deck or something.

  • APODionysusAPODionysus Registered User regular
    Wow.

    Pharika seems... lame.

    Twinflame seems pretty cool

    Master of the Feast... hard to say, but three drop and 5/5 flying and double black... could replace DDemon for Monoblack devotion post rotation? I mean sure there's a drawback, but 5/5 flying for THREE

    like when i think "She bears a potion cup from which she dispenses draughts that simultaneously strengthen her servants and slay her enemies." i don't think "she turns dead things into poisonous snakes"

    kind of falls flat from the lore buildup to me

    I'm most interested in that Flamespeaker. Potentially two extra cards per turn in a red aggro deck? Yes please.

  • I needed anime to post.I needed anime to post. boom Registered User regular
    though i suppose the snakes trigger constellation?

    Such a shame all the multi-color gods in my current EDH deck colors aren't really that great for what my EDH decks do. I have Karametra in my trostani deck but haven't been playing much so she's still unproven.

    I was really hoping for something really good for Pharika.

    Also, please stop giving Nekusar tools thanks.

  • APODionysusAPODionysus Registered User regular
    That Flamespeaker though...

    Could be real nasty.

    There's some real potential there.

    It'll be interesting to see is Standard embraces him. As much as your opponent drawing an extra card is painful, a 5/5 flyer on turn 3 that plays real well with Gary is pretty sick .

    I think he sees play for sure once lifebane zombie and DDemon rotate for sure. Might even before that.

    master of feasts is another card going into the new meta-shifting Notion Thief deck that no one will ever make

    Why doesn't Pharika have the Nyxness going on? No stars in her body

  • ScisScis Registered User regular
    I think Pharika definitely has some potential in the current standard GB deck. GB has a lot of heavy mana costs --all of its main threats have double coloured mana costs, plus Jarad who almost turns her on by himself-- so she can be a creature fairly often. I also think people overestimate the importance of keeping every single creature in your graveyard all game.

    Also interested in that demon in the pseudo-"Owling Mine" standard deck I've been trying to brew with the new spoilers. Should be good in Mono black aggro too.

    they dont get extra cards till your upkeep so they still have to deal with it for a turn before seeing any benefit

    and they have no say in its ability to attack or block

    this is a good card especially when one can go feast > double Ds > merchant make it rain consecutively

    She has some stars in her shoulder thingies and her torso, it shows up very poorly on the tiny card art image

    the problem with pharika is she has only one ability and you have to pay mana to activate it

    the clearly greatest tragedy is that pharika has almost no synergy with gorgon tribal other than they turn her devotion on

    That's weird because I just re-read it and i think the greatest tragedy is that you don't get the snake token when exiling stuff from an opponent's graveyard

    I dream of slapping Pacifism on the Feast demon.

    Thanks for the cards, dude.

    Pharika giving the other person sedge scorpions is also bunk.

    Make...
    Snakes.

  • APODionysusAPODionysus Registered User regular
    Note on the Flamespeaker:

    It says "play" NOT "cast"

    So you can grab lands (assuming you have not already played a land).

    This card could end up being real good.

    This set is pretty exciting except for Pharika!

    I'm willing to pay 2 mana to make a guy that blanks my opponents Polukranos or gives me a throwaway body to bestow my Nighthowler/Herald of Torment on. I think it's definitely going to be playable but we'll see.

  • KwoaruKwoaru Registered User regular
    Pharika being unable to use your opponent's dead creatures to make snakes for you that can chump block and kill more of their guys so you can make more snakes seems like an odd decision

    I have to assume they tried it the other way and it tested too powerful?

    Losing combat and being able to put back up a wall of 1/1 deathtouch is not an insignificant thing. Also dicks up mill petty hardcore.

  • PeccaviPeccavi Registered User regular
    Flamespeaker looks very good to me, but I'm hoping people underestimate it because a 1/3 for 3 is not something red wants to be doing. It has the potential to be a nice sleeper.
