so, NPH is completely spoiled

[Philip Dickinson]

i have to say, this is looking like the most powerful set that's seen print in a while

[Tom Reeve]

Mental Misstep is probably going to change at least Legacy in some pretty fundamental ways. I recommend hanging onto any foils you can pick up, in particular. It's probably pretty ridiculous in Extended as well, and will see a lot of Standard play I'm sure.

[Philip Dickinson]

i was going to consider buying a box of this set but then i remembered that product is expensive now

 

nice job wi$ards

[Tom Reeve]

Incidentally, we have New Phyrexia singles up for pre-order now! http://bit.ly/fmZV7H

You could kill someone on tur 2 with that common 1/1 for 2 that gets +1/+1 for 2 life. I'd like to see Karn manage that!

[Simon O'Keeffe]

The 1 mana Green infect guy can allow turn 2 kills in standard combined with the free pump spell, you need at least two of them though, plus some number of other pump.

 

Edit: actually with Assault Strobe you only need 1 free pump spell. This sounds even more inconsistant than Tom's 3/1 first strike infect deck!

so I shall run that bad boy at nats then

re: mental misstep - Foils will likely be $20+, mind

 

Also you guys missed groundswell, 3 card combo for turn 2 kill.

[Ben Titmarsh]

Agreed, path isn't really comparable.  I'm by no means advocating buying this card, especially given the amount us lot draft.  Was simply pointing out that the card is getting a lot of heat for it's legacy potential.

 

Wizards must be pissed that this got leaked, they've been trying to clamp down on spoilers for the last couple of releases, and this time around we get the whole thing 2 and a half weeks before the prerelease!

I think MBC means that it makes its own home.

Depends on what you're running - duress/inquisition, gatekeeper, persecutor, nantuko shade, mind sludge, gftt/doom blade, grave titan, mimic vat, sheoldred, end of life/BSZ? 

 

hmm, actually that looks a bit spicy...

love mimic vat in that list, does indeed look saucy

[Kieran Symington]

This set has so much potential for terrible, inconsistent combo decks. There's a blue version of Conspiracy. Time for Turntimber Ranger to make a comeback I think!
