Kird Ape was banned, tho. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I think that's a card that's decent in limited in combination with Vehicles or Equipment but I don't see Kird Ape being a modern (meaning the era, not the format) powerhouse. It's just outclassed by too many things.
Right. But I want a UR artifact legend so I can build an in-theme UR artifact EDH deck.

Am I the only one slightly confused on how they seemed to have been "Well, you can have pilots that do things when you crew a vehicle with one" and yet the initial Speedway Fanatic reveal way back at the start is the only instance of this? Am I misremembering things? Was this just an assumption I (and other people?) made given the card was revealed at a point when we were still in the "introduce the mechanics" phase?
There's only been 3 pilots spoiled so far; two of them do things when you crew with them and one of them comes back from the graveyard when play a vehicle (or any other artifact).
Pilots seem to mostly be a limited thing, so they're likely primarily at common and uncommon. I expect to see most of them for the first time during the spoiler dump on Friday.
much obliged, Royal_Flush
Oh I see now. We are completely agreeing hahahaha
What the heck are they thinking??
I already have a Niv EDH deck. It's a fun one. But it's more centered around card drawing. This would be a wholly different archetype. I wish Daretti 1.0 was just UR

I think UR is my least favorite color combination.
It tends to do stuff I don't care about.

Did twin get unbanned?

Well yes, I just figured they'd show more than one in the gradual spoilers. And yes, just one. Speedway Fanatic is the only one that actually cares about crewing. Depala's trigger is tapping, so while the effect triggers when she crews it also triggers when she attacks or taps for any other reason.

lol sounds about right.
not only daretti but mono red also has iron bosh, feldon, pia and kiran, even slobad isn't half-bad. my friend uses slobad. wizards are trolling :lol :lol :lol
sick burn bro
Depala was the one they spoiled first and that's when they said pilots would care about vehicles, so it seemed pretty clear from the start that they wouldn't all specifically care about crewing.

Ah, I guess Depala was spoiled first. I suppose I didn't really click on that because the "Pilot" typing wasn't implied to have much specific meaning at the time. So fine, two out of three directly care about vehicles and the Daredevil is probably all artifacts as a means of trading flavour for playability. I'll concede this.
Vehicles and equipment share a lot of simliarities, so I'm guessing they ate a lot of design space and actual space from them.
Mm. Which is why I'm not expecting tons of equipment, but I'd still bet there are some decent ones in there.

name the last decent equipment printed. Outside of limited.

I don't think straight UR anything has been winning in any format outside of Vintage since the banning of twin.

That reminds I should be picking up Kolaghan's Commands sometime soon. Slayer's Plate is way too high a mana investment for equipment.
Sigarda's Aid don't care
And standard doesnt care about Sigarda's Aid.

The hardened scales conundrum. Is it worth it to run a 1 mana card that is awful in multiples (hardened scales actually stacks), awful if not dropped on one of the first turns which requires it to be a 4-of, does nothing on an empty board and a dead draw late game,...
I love Sigarda's Aid but it's an EDH card.
You guys can knock it all you want but I still take the deck to games and surprise the hell out of my opponents (and win!)
It's a fringe deck but I like my fringe decks.
I agree that there needs to be an outlet for extra Sigarda's Aid though. That's mainly what Nahiri is doing in the deck - shuffling around dead draws

I still feel like she's a plant for another format. Maybe Vintage, maybe Legacy. Her + Daretti 2.0 + Tezzeret 2.0 = potentially really fun times.

You already know that Saheeli is gonna be some Ajani Caller of the Pride bullshit with some aggressive deck. Saheeli into double Lathnu Hellion or Fleetwheel Cruiser is gonna be some kinda BS

I miss forked bolt
That we know of? Ajani, Chandra, Dovin, Liliana, Nissa, Saheeli, Tezzeret. So far it's 7 haha
All of them!
We also know, from some artwork, that Jace and Gideon end up there as well.

Well, skywhales are a thing.
With Skywhaler's Shot, this is the first time since Magic Origins that we've had a non-blue spell that had scry as a rider, right? I was wondering when they'd do that again.
Aethersquall Ancient has great art, and the effect seems good.
Disappointed that with Chandra's Pyrohelix's flavor text, it seems like her mother is going to die again.
I'm surprised that Ajani would just be revealed like that. I guess that "leaked" art wasn't that big of a deal after all.
