Amonkhet Spoilers

Damn, I missed it.

"as silently the"
should read
"as silently as the"

At least we know amonkhet has more than one sun

Since the advent of equipment, has there been any set with less equipment than this one?

Because Bolas is the monarch there?

"God Pharaoh"

Yeah, Aether Revolt didn't have any equipment, did it?

Yeah, AER had none, and KLD only had 2

>You know what's part of Blue's color pie?
>Cheap, unblockable weenies

>make a top-down Egyptian set
>only print two Sphinxes
>neither of them are Legendary or even very good

What the fuck? What the fuck!!!

People never play these cards but they keep reprinting them and printing functionally equivalent ones

>make a top-down egypt set
>no other city-states to do business with, everything else is arid desert shithole

Really ignites the almond seeds

They're in one of Bolas' colors. He'll prolly have squads of guys and monsters in those colors when he gets back. Wait til' the second set.

Dude the embalm Sphinx is amazing what are you talking about?

>city-states in Egypt

nigga what

Hey, this time it has Cycling!

Its sideboard material so you can break that one busted artifact in limited or hose a fragile manabase if you run into it. In this case any of those monuments to the gods.

>tfw hoped for Consecrated sphinx reprint
>It's a goddamn Uber-rare shitcard with a shitframe
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

damn that's boring, how is that not a reprint? i can't believe this was never printed.

this. Having cycling makes it possibly mainboardable

"Actual Egypt only has one sphinx"
-Mark Rosewater
Actual Egypt has zero angels and there are more of them than sphinxes

It's a Leonin Scimitar except there's no Leonin on Amoncat

oh, thank you that reallly seemed strange.

Where's Ajani when you need him for a reprint?

Doing whatever it was he did in Aether Revolt?

Being an overgrown pet for a sweet rebel grandma on dominaria?

Kaladesh, plane of artifice:
>KLD 2 equipment
>AER 0 equipment

Meanwhile on Theros, plane of enchantments:
>THR 3 equipment
>BNG 2 equipment
>JOU 3 equipment

Kinda funny.

I'm fully prepared to believe he said something this dumb, but...really? Did he say this?

So last post I said I got tired of playing Modern for 3 years with the same guys. Used to be 20+ per tourney on wednesdays, but with the years and with no new players, modern started to die in my city.
I want to go back to Standard even if people say its shit. Is there any cheap deck with a decent winrate? Something that can take me to top 10 without owning Mardu Vehicles and BG decks?

...

Kaladesh's two equipment were Torch Guantlet and Inventor's Goggles, because they're not fighting

Doesn't mean they can't invent things along the lines of Paradise Mantle or Illusionist's Bracers.

jesus christ MaRo has learned to :^) post. What a fucking faggot

...

...

So do you get to Scry before you actually draw the card for Cycling?

The Scry should trigger when you pay the cost for Cycling and resolve before the card draw for Cycling right?

>mfw pulling this in limited

...

Literally physically hauling someone back from beyond the gates of death is pretty baller.
Also this guy seems dumb good at uncommon.

Whoa.

...

... what? No, it doesn't? Was that supposed to sound like a joke?

...

As I recall yes. This certainly works with tormenting voice

...

...

What the fuck does that flavor text have to do with the art or the effect?

Awwwww yis time to build some 1/1 token spam deck

Not quite as good repulse, but I'm glad we got a similar effect with new art.

...

...

Kinda opens you into wonder, doesn't it?

It is though. Blue has tons of unlockable effects and two creatures exactly like this one.

Welcome back, old friend.

black delver.

black delver

black delver!

black delver

And there was only one Minotaur in greek mythology.

black delver

Skittering Skirge 2.0

I like it.

The jackal in the back is fucking loving it, dude.

...

Fat lifelink crocodile

Did they really need to make a triton shorestalker with one more toughness?

...

The draw weight on that bow has to be like 200 pounds.

...

why the fuck would you want to play standard now? It sucks right now and NEO WotC is printing crappy cards now.

>3/2 flying deathtouch on t2

bravo

Goes infinite with persist and a sac outlet. Budget nonlegendary Melira.

>>t2

it's easily a t1 3/2 flying deathtouch if you go second in any eternal format

holy shit im using that thanks user

>crappy cards
>not seeing the new black delver

there are few other good cards in Amonketh

>Print fatal push
>Print this the next set
What is WotC's endgame?

That's half decent, especially since it stops cat combo

Black is new Blue.

>spending two cards on a creature that dies to bolt

...

CURRSSSEE

CUUUUUUUUUURRSEEEEE

also this is a main-boardable card in control.

Does not help bonepicker

Blood Pet into Dark Ritual into three Bone Pickers?

Whelp. I was wrong right away!

Yeah, another one for the pile of Edric's 1-drops with evasion.

and now to make a new deck

>T2 Swing, Final Fortune
>T3 Swing, Bolt

Man Green is fucking gigashit this set.
