Good art, good card.

Munkus Beaver

Holy fuck that's a good card

KalTorak

Geeeez, Enthralling Victor got spicy

KalTorak

Munkus Beaver

Ha ha ha even the score

milski

Soul of Emancipation isn't a story spotlight but does actually explain why the Angels are flitting about. Meeting of the Five is a story spotlight, but literally showcases an event that never happened in the story and couldn't happen given the events of the story.

This whole thing really got butchered, huh?

Polaritie

I mean, that's more of a backstory card. I presume that they did, in fact, occasionally meet.

milski

"Story Spotlight" is supposed to represent a key moment in the set's plotline, not just "a thing that happened within the world of the set."

This cards on this set deviate from the plotline way, way more than they usually do, if they're highlighting a random offscreen prequel moment and not highlighting the literal climax of the story.

KalTorak

Treasures go boom. The Angel is a pile of value too, and won't have much trouble sticking around to attack.

Polaritie

This set is doing a lot of nice interactions with treasures. And just tokens/counters in general due to the various themes and mechanics.

milski

This common is cracked, god damn. Also I love the angel motif of "wings made of building materials"

I've got commander decks I'm considering throwing this in, because that's a great creature to start sacrificing repeatedly (or just throw at people's faces until they kill it and then I replay it for more value)

KalTorak

geez, Priest of Ancient Lore can just go fuck himself

edit: interesting twist

Priest of Ancient Lore GTFO I guess. And that was the best white common in AFR or at least top 3.

Pinfeldorf

We've come a long way since Carrier Pigeons, I tell you hwat.

milski

It's also a white one-up to Cloudkin Seer, although the elemental synergies in that set were probably worth more than a single life.

SLyM

There are still tribal effects for angels in standard though, some of which are almost good!

KalTorak

not to mention there's a whole Cleric deck

I needed anime to post.

don't encourage those disgusting lifegain players

Pinfeldorf

We lifegain players don't need encouraging when we've got Sanguine Bond.

Munkus Beaver

Look, if you beat the shit out of someone then your combo stops. If you keep gaining life you can keep doing combos! It's win win!

if you're willing to play cards that kill the opponent you're not the ones i'm talking about

KalTorak

i'd like one sweet reanimation target with a cool name please

jgeis

Rafiq appears on The List for New Capenna with new art in the showcase frame.

Whippy

that’s weird. I wonder if a secret pair got scuppered, or he was supposed to be in this one which is suspiciously card-light

As per the Weekly MTG stream, they're just trying something new with The List. You might notice that it has its normal Alara set symbol and not the one used for Secret Lairs.

Whippy

i mean, yeah. that's what they say. i'm just wondering if they had the art asset from somewhere else 'cause it seems weird if there's just the one

I needed anime to post.

seems like they're doing one-off experiments a bit more, like when hidegetsu in the last set randomly had 5 different colour variants instead of, say, a card from the set people would play

Polaritie

I kind of want that Rafiq, he was my first commander and I love the art.

KalTorak

combination Brutal Cathar and wipe-insurance

I needed anime to post.

i'm pretty sure i get that templating but jesus that's a rough one on a first pass

turtleant

Yeah I'm confused. So it's a go wide oblivion ring and if it happens to hit something somebody stole from you that creature gets a buff when it comes back?

Kwoaru

I think it can exile one creature per player, and then when they come back any that enter under your control get some counters? Right?

I needed anime to post.

So you can target one creature for every player, including yourself. If you target one of your own creatures, it comes back with the two counters. Like a really, really slow flicker.

turtleant

That's confusing as shit

hehehe it's Oskar the Grouch

Straight up better than Containment Construct since that wording doesnt care about normal cast timing. Fun.

KalTorak

that dog has a lot going on for a single mana. Feels not quite as good as Shambling Ghast but in the same ballpark.

Polaritie

Giada is going to be a popular commander I think, and just helm angel tribal decks. That's a really good ability for having creatures just get completely out of hand.
