This is hilarious from a flavour standpoint. The card is also not bad at all.
This card would've been so good and justifiable at R damn, wasted opportunity imho.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";221651839]Midnight Oil is a much better limited card than I was expecting. Helps that I had two Gearhulks to draw into, but still.[/QUOTE]
I mean, it's basically just a 4 mana Phyrexian Arena that can sometimes be better (not cost any life) and sometimes be worse (you can't play one of the cards). I was surprised at how much people hated it when it was first spoiled.

I was just about to say, what is that expansion logo? And why is all the text at the bottom weird?

So it matches what was pulled from the packaging image. Yeah, kind of ridiculous even if it can't directly cascade into cascade (thank god).

Double Polymorph in Red
Double Instant Exiling Polymorph in Red, even. And usually at or below Polymorph cost.

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS they put polymorphing in fucking red where it belongs
They finally gave out attendance numbers on the RPTQ (buried on their tumblr page for god knows what reason http://magicorganizedplay.tumblr.co...gional-pro-tour-qualifier-attendance-pro-tour )
1,900 copies in circulation

I like that they're slowly creating a fourth cycle of these for iconic spells now that they've already done lands, artifacts, and enchantments.

Toughness matters is sort of a BG theme they're experimenting with last few years
Rarity literally means nothing in these products. The only reason a card is mythic instead of a rare is because they wanted to make it a foil instead of a non-foil.
Toughness Matters is an Abzan thing, which means it could reasonably be a BG thing.
Mythic and Rare designations don't matter much in products like these. It just means they only come in one of the decks.
More specifically, BG "toughness matters" was a draft archetype in Khans of Tarkir/Fate Reforged. So its especially appropriate for that card which hails from Tarkir.

Ugh....
It should have been a treefolk... (as in, it should have been a different character altogether)
I just have a soft spot for treefolk

So far I'm thinking
Equipments enable silas best in getting through and support in being voltron. Akiri gives him access to white for Equipment matters and red for artifact sac effects as well as a better voltron target if there's nothing to get back.Equipment / Voltron said:
I don't think any partner offers enough colourwise to overcome the lack in synergy. Kydele has with Thrasios. I genuinely believe Thrasios is busted even if it's just a better Azure Mage.Landfall Combo said:

Add in Mind Over Matter and you can churn through your entire deck and make a giant stack of mana with Kydele and Trasios together...
EDIT: Actually, since Trasios forces you to put the lands on the battlefield, this doesn't quite go infinite.
EDIT 2: Okay, so if you add Retreat to Coralhelm then you have a four-card "put your spells in your graveyard and lands onto the battlefield and make shitloads of mana" combo.
Literally my favorite thing to do in EDH is assemble Rube Goldberg "I win the game right now" combos. The more pieces, the better.

The "Quest" system on Magic Duels is one of the worst implementation of daily tasks I have ever interacted with. It honestly feels random with when it updates your list with a new quest.
Each slot says "Come back tomorrow" - But you can wait a full 24h and not have it update. Almost any F2P game has a better implementation... It does not instill me with confidence in any sort of "Magic Digital Next" if neither Wizards nor their outsourced developers can do the most basic of modern retention systems in their current games.
The system which is supposed to encourage me to log in every day makes me annoyed and, as a result, NOT want to log in because it's legit indecipherable.
Solution:
* Timer
* Known Refresh Time (War Thunder does this, it's like 3AM Moscow time)
* 24h from last completion in that slot
* Anything else from what they are doing

To be clear, bigkrev is referring to a card that was edited out of his post, not Grip of Phyresis, right? EDIT: Yeah, I see it elsewhere.
Anyway, lots of neat cards today. I'm particularly glad they went with something more interesting for red's undaunted card.
EDIT:
Boring, but it seems good.

I dunno, i'd rather run Wildest Dreams for flexibility. You need 3 other players for Seeds of Renewal to be even remotely good.

I...wait, a Daretti, Scrap Savant reprint? Does that mean all five Commander 2014 walkers are getting reprinted in the decks?
They might just be doing some weird selective reprints
I don't think so, it fits the non-G deck like a glove, the rest idk.
Simply Sarah
Member
Ah yes. That's would make sense with the other mythic reprints and is much more likely given how odd reprinting the 5 of them here would be,.
Jesus Christ those Simic commanders are like everything stupid about that color combo. Absurd mana acceleration and a mana sink that draws cards and looks for combos.
Meanwhile Rakdos gets fucking Vial Smasher the Fierce.
WotC does not understand what effects are powerful in Commander. At all.

Vial Smasher is one of the stronger partners but yeah the UG ones are a class of their own.
