    Ugh. Arena crapping out like crazy on me today. Lost 2 draft matches because of it.

    Honestly that was the naming convention I was aiming at.

    That seems like a pretty bad card you could build a really funny deck around

    RGU control with 4 Amplifire and 4 Ghalta

    If Belzenlok was Creature cards instead of Nonland, you could probably get away with some real stupid shit there too

    Huh... making it trigger on upkeep instead of beginning of combat means it’s impossible to give it haste for a big surprise attack.

    Interesting. It’s a good value for 4 mana, but no lifelink really limits its value. Doesn’t exactly feel mythic.

    Amplifier also has the issue of being a creature that wants you running big beaters that also pitches your big beaters to the bottom of your library. That's pretty big tension even if you're just running this in a midrange deck

    I think its fine at mythic; I'd certainly be excited to pull one, though it isn't insanely splashy.

    Still, between vigilance to let midrange have game against aggro, deathtouch for midrange mirrors, and afterlife for value against control this looks like at minimum the premier "I'm in Orzhov and need a four drop" card.

    Also, while it's probably bad, Mardu Angels is now the format's Tammiest tribal deck.

    Almost certainly mythic for limited balance reasons. This thing will be miserable to play against when your removal options are sub-par, especially since you need to kill three creatures (if you can't exile/counter the first) to completely contain it.

    that... is a lot of different modes

    Six mana in two colors is a lot to ask, but a 5/6 or hasty Flametongue Kavu might be worth it?

    He's a big fat azcanta killer. I like it, if it can hit the board.

    I kind wish they'd made it 5/6 so it could riot and kill doom whisperer.

    yeah that was my thought, although if you're playing green you have a few other options to kill Whisperer like Vivien. As a 4/5 rioter he can at least kill Lyra, or Niv-Mizzet without giving them a card.

    PP with Teferi is disgusting. Dig seven cards deep and draw four, and get to untap for counters.

    I hate when they make 4 of playable Mythic. it just goes against the entire point of mythic rarity.
    I guess at Rare there's too much chance it'll mess up drafts? I dunno.

    I just beat one of those mill decks by top decking assassin's totem and destroying his last copy of the psychic corrosion then he rage quit. So satisfying given he was one of those players who uses all available timeouts to try to piss you off into conceding. I had 7 undergrowth too and if I had topdecked a ryzome lurcher he'd also be dead.

    My sapro deck consistently can hit 10-12 mana on turn 4, question becomes is taking their entire board worth more than just swinging with a bajillion indestructible sapro's the turn after

    No it can't.

    E: There are a number of paths there, but they're all pretty unlikely; you either need three saproling creation spells and a song of Freyalise (one of which must be a Saproling MIgration), or you need a Llanowar Elves + two Saproling Spells + one other cheap creature + song of Freyalise, and you need to face no disruption. All of these paths are four card combos, which is pretty ridiculous to assume even if you assume that you've basically got twenty hits for the right kind of creature and four songs in your deck.

    E2: To look at it another way, the odds of just having Song of Freyalise in 9 cards (by T3 on the draw) is about 50%. Then you need to have 4 lands and spells that can cheaply put 6 creatures on the board.

    Ok cool. Glad you missing multiple cards that allow this , but still replied in the goosiest way possible.

    Edit: every time and consistent have different meanings as well

    Song of Freyalise is the only way to get 10 mana by turn 4, and if you run four copies it's barely a 50% chance to have a copy in your hand by T3 on the draw. It doesn't matter what your deck is at that point, any path to 10 mana runs through a single card.
