I'm going to hold off on the large volume of negative things that i obviously have to say for the time being. some basic observations:

• souldbond actually looks kinda fun in limited
• miracle seems super swingy (eg 7cc/2cc time walk)
• the flavour text is in line with other recent releases (ie fucking awful)

obvs the question really on everyone's minds is WHY ISN'T CUBE AVAILABLE ON MODO ALL THE TIME, but for the time being what do you think of the new set?

I think 3+ colour humans will be " a thing"

[Paul Hodgson]

Awesome land is awesome indeed

[Thom Richardson]

Uncouterable lackey on the play is nuts in  Legacy goblins right?

[Paul Hodgson]

Guess R&D didn't think creature strategies had been pushed hard enough!

[Philip Dickinson]

its crazy that that land makes colourless mana too. like ancient ziggurat was kept in line by the fact you can only make dudes with it

[Kieran Symington]

I laughed when I read Human Frailty. Pretty sure they've worded it "Human creature" to stop people from targeting their opponent with it...

[James Mills]

How comes Starcitygames are pre-selling Tamiyo at 18 pounds but Magic Madhouse are pre-selling at £30?

 

That seems wrong to me.

[Tom Reeve]

SCG are preselling Tamiyo at £25, and that isn't taking into account the differences in wholesale prices for Magic in the US and Europe.

[James Mills]

oops, thought it was $29.99 not $39.99. NM

 

Still... FTSY

i reeeeeaaaaally wish it didn't have the word creature on it

It'd be overpowered if you could destroy all of those other tribal human permanents too.
