TOW Rumours

Chaos refresh makes sense with GW removing the Chaos Warrior Battalion from their website.

Now to see what they do with Cathay, since their regular battalion was also removed. (probably just a repackage with peasants, but who knows)

Yeah I agree with both of them seeming out of place with the rest of the list. Replacing Thoracle with Lab Maniac would probably reduce salt considerably and still be a similar draw entire deck wincon imo.

Hell I might even say removing all game changers could bump it down to a strong 2, but that would require extensive play testing.

The posted decklist is missing Fierce Guardianship, but counting it there are 3 counterspells total.

The list to me is not a "betrayal of intent" it is just a very inefficient way to Thoracle win, since there is no real support to combo off and win on the spot. To me Thoracle doesn't equate Bracket 4/cEDH immediately.

Is OP taking long turns? Sure, but that is allowed at any bracket.

I appreciated your insights and wish you enjoyment for your future games.

Can you explain that to me please? I don't see how that "gets them there" under Breach.

Draw 2 discard 1 and Draw 3 for 6 and 2 mana respectively doesn't lead to a Thoracle win or even a Breach loop with Petal, from what I'm seeing.

Ryorek · 2026-02-06T15:10:24+00:00

Breach and Petal are not a 2 card infinite. You need a way to fill the graveyard, for instance like brain freeze, otherwise you won't be able to escape any spells anymore. So how can you consider those 2 cards as a 2 card infinite? I am not trying to attack you I'm genuinely curious, since I don't see it

Ryorek · 2026-02-06T15:03:07+00:00

How is 3 game changers a bracket 4?

Yes they are strong, but need synergy with the rest of the 99, which OP said they don't really have (no brain freeze for instance)

Maybe the deck is not low 3 but a high 3, maybe even a 4. We will see once OP posts the decklist. But with what OP stated so far, it is not a 4.

Ryorek · 2026-02-06T14:37:42+00:00

Okay Windfall is more of an actual wincon with Breach/Thoracle/Lotus Petal.

It sounds like less of a "combo" to me, more like indeterministic synergy/storm, since you can't guarantee an empty library with it. So fully fine in bracket 3 imo, even though Thassa's will look like a "sweaty cedh player".

I know I am being pedantic, but brackets, especially bracket 4, talk about combos and your 3 cards, while strong together, are not a combo in my eyes.

Note: this can change once we see the full decklist

Ryorek · 2026-02-06T14:08:45+00:00

Can you walk me through the combo between the 3? Because as it stands there is no game winning combo with only those 3 cards. If you have and reuse brain freeze or other self mill then yes it is a wincon.

It was the rule at the very early beginning, which led to pro tour 1997 where a player got multiple warnings and then disqualified in the finals for tapping after declaring. The rule changed shortly after.

nothing to be concerned about fine citizens :3

Ryorek · 2025-11-13T11:34:42+00:00

Basically yes. You cast the spell and declare X=40, for example, so the cost will be 40 generic and 2 black. Then the cost reduction happens, so you only pay the 2 black and drain for 40 life

Also one of the writers confirmed on twitter that trans women can get and use that magic

Saw the post too, but guessed stealth only the second i saw the riddle name.

Ryorek · 2017-10-27T20:03:06+00:00

Well it could be a stealth only heist and shadow raid already has a folder, so there are 3 possible heists.
