    Could be a timey wimey thing, though that also being made part of Midnight Hunt would kind of muddle the story. Or it could be an impostor.

    More likely it's a "Innistrad is spooooky" thing. (This also doesn't have to mean that Avacyn can come back, because Avacyn was an artificial being, not a natural denizen of the plane--as much as any angel can be natural.) It could also be temporary, the whole "life/death divided gets wobbly around Halloween" thing.

    Because that means so much on Innistrad.

    a 2/2 for 3 with a highly conditional etb that doesn't hit players seems pretty bad

    There’s a reason why I didn’t say good.

    It’s weird and interesting.

    the vampire theme this set seems to be "opponent lost life this turn" so they're apparently putting the ETBs through that

    A bad FTK can still be decent draft chaff

    Since they've expanded werewolves into Black a little bit in Midnight Hunt, it seems likely they'll do something similar for Vampires in Crimson Vow.

    White would be the most helpful for Vampire tribal decks. And it would be thematically resonant with the whole ceremonial thing Crimson Vow has going on. Blue would make the most sense from a pure color philosophy standpoint, as Vampires are a characteristic race of Black, who is allied with Blue and antagonistic toward White and Green. Green would be the most unexpected choice, although Innistrad is one of the few planes with non-undead vampires, which also makes it one of the few planes where they conceivably could do Green Vampires.

    Be interesting to see what they go with.

    why doesn’t an ambusher have flash. this seems on a level of creatures with wings in the art have to have flying

    Depends on the board wipe. Cleansing Nova style gets you 0 value as opposed to damage or -X effects.

    how is that a board wiper recovery card

  • Ivan HungerIvan Hunger Registered User regular
    Pretty sure that's meant to synergize with the new Zombie tokens who die after you attack with them. This card allows you to trade them for something more permanent.

  • ShadowenShadowen Snores in the morning LoserdomRegistered User regular
    I think Crist is thinking "board wipe? Okay I'll just sac all my creatures and create a big monster that will be alive after the wipe passes", but I think the stack would mean that the Cobble would resolve, you'd have a big creature, and it would just die anyway?

    It'd work against things like Crippling Fear, Battle of Frost and Fire etc. But those are somewhat marginal and it doesn't work against "true" sweepers notably Doomskar and the 5 mana one in black, which are the ones I feel I see the most.

    it's for going "oh no all your monsters are so big, when you attack i will lose so much of my board, please don't attack me :( " and then going "lol psych" as you set up your blockers and then blow your dudes up into a big dude who cracks in next turn to kill them in limited

    I truly look forward to saccing my whole board to it and immediately getting completely blown out by someone playing blue

    make em have it

    also, turning those decayed zombies into a single big one either as a surprise blocker or in response to the end-of-combat sac trigger

    it lets you flip from wide to tall in an instant

    ...just don't get bounced

    well, Brazen Borrower is rotating; maybe there won't be a bounce spell worth maining

    The creatures are sacrificed as part of the cost, so any counter spell will do it.

    Augur is quite nice. That's some serious card advantage as a coven payoff.
