Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I mean, it seems easier to just wait for them to play their own Heart of Kiran and just play Emrakul

The question is whether you really want more copies of smugglers copter except worse
Probably not
Probably not
If this format allowed for that deck that Ivan Floch used to win the Pro Tour a few years ago- a W/U control deck who's only win condition in the main deck was Elixer of Immortality or having your opponent rage concede- this card would make sense for the mirror, as it lets you snipe Planeswalkers. That's about the best use case scenario I have for this card.

Smuggler's Copter was such a mistake. Makes all other vehicles basically worthless.
I mean you could substitute these in a couple spots for smug cops but meeeeeeeeeeh..........

I mean, someday I'll stop reading that as "Heart of Khan" and by extension "Heart of Lorkhan"

There's only 2 decks that are actually good, so its not surprising

I wasn't but it's still a very good card and present in a GB Delirium variant, a 13/13 for 7 just beats an 8/8 for 5 so one of them eked the other out.

I've been getting progressively higher on triple Kaladesh as a format
I'm sure it has nothing to do with identifying a draft strategy that wins a bunch

Which strategy is this? I'm asking for a friend...

The fact that a card can give you that much by way of stats and not be busted shows how busted everything else is.

Mostly I just almost never look to go into Red or Blue almost ever and generally gravitate towards black because black's common creatures are all typically good playables (basically everything with Fabricate is playable). Obviously if you get cut off you can't do it, but I usually find a lot of black early and start cutting it.
I just don't like going red very often. It just feels like a shitty color to be in vs. the constant board stalls you get in this format.

Here are the English versions, plus PW Deck Tezz.
Waiting for the inevitable shredding Tezzeret alters. Great art.
Random order makes sense when there's no set number of cards being revealed. It could be a while before you find an artifact, and it's better for time management if you aren't choosing the order for 10 cards, for example.

I mean pretty much the mark of an actually really good draft format is that it feels like a bunch of weird confusing garbage to begin with and over a couple months some deep, notably strong archetypes emerge.
The PW deck walkers this set are noticeably less goofy than for KLD, while still not actually looking like they would be the booster walkers.
I mean, 8/8s for five mana have already existed in the past. This is nothing new.
Vehicles are fine. You can argue that Smuggler's Copter is too pushed (and I don't necessarily agree), but vehicles as a whole aren't problematic.
buff equipment k thx
I'm curious to hear you drill down into why.
I think kirblar hates cards that can be put ubiquitously into any deck

Miyazaka Rosewater: It's nothing but Trash
I'd just settle for a Mystic Unban, but if we can't get that might as well push equipment.
It's Chimeric Idol the mechanic, and that card suuuuuucked when it was good. They're just so noninteractive during your opponents turn.

Official reveals of promo cards
And one we didn't fully see before:
Seems good. Turn a clue into a pinger.
New Topical Blend from MaRo, combining breaking the rules of Magic with MAHVEL. Not that interesting, IMO.

Pia's Revolution is a punisher card but at least it's the right kind -- putting the mechanic on an enchantment where it costs zero mana means you can create situations that put a ton of pressure on your opponent. It'll also be pretty rad in Commander since you get to pick and choose someone who'll let you get the artifact back if that's what you want.
Disallow is fantastic. At 1UU this will see a ton of play. Definitely better than other 3 mana counters in Standard. Curious whether this stopping Emrakul's mind control will be relevant at any point. Also this gets a little closer to confirming a Baral card in this set.
Battle at the Bridge: Convoke for artifacts is a pretty sensible elaboration and a good "like Affinity, but way less broken" thing. Card is pretty boring. I did see the picture while my wife was playing FFXV and Clash on the Big Bridge was playing on the car radio, though, so: synchronicity!
Dark Intimations is a nice use of a random 3-color card and some established mechanics to point at the next direction of the story without having to call it something too on the nose. I don't think almost anyone plays NBP even in Commander though so unless Bolas 2.0 in Amonkhet is super good not sure how much anyone will actually use it.
Where's story spotlight 1?

what is the rarity on Battle at the Bridge? I think it's rare and that's crazy.
It's voidslime that's marginally easier to cast

Disallow is mono-Blue Voidslime.
As for spotlight 1, the original source was Japanese and only included 2-5 so that's all we're getting in English right now it seems.
Yes, it's rare.
Pia's Revolution is DAMN good. Especially with Scrapheap Scrounger. Yes I'd like to pay 2 mana instead of exiling a creature card to get him out again!
Oh you took 3? guess I get him again anyway!
THIS WAS THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND

Huh, why are we getting so many spoilers now? Especially 4/5 story cards.
Pia's Revolution makes for a good casual deck with spellbombs.
Disallow looks really good this Standard.
Improvise is unexpected, but it makes sense.
Dark Intimations seems good. I suppose the red part is the graveyard trigger.

Yes, and for 2016 era Standard that's pretty good! (Modern is, of course, a very different story.)
Yeah, I like how they're calling back to that card (which itself calls back to the OG Nicol Bolas, and is also riffed on by NBP.) It's a good theme.
Battle at the Bridge is so goddamn strange at Rare. Reminder text shouldn't be on Rare cards, it's an effect that's usually at Common even when removal is supposed to be bad (Avacyn Restored limited had Death Wind!). Even if wizards thinks this is standard playable removal, those cards are never at Rare unless they can kill walkers.
did we see the OG art for the card?
alos plz let there be an equipment subtheme
I think Vehicles will continue to be the artifact subtheme. Sorry mang.
Using it with Geist to stifle the Angel so it stays. That's what I'm doing with it.
