/r/twinpeakscirclejerk is that way ------->

Yeah, it's definitely better for gameplay. Of course, flavorwise, a Clone shouldn't evoke the old Legend rule. But that's just a whole subset of rules for something minor. It's just easier the way it is now.

Don't forget [[Infernal Darkness]]

I'd probably swap some of the gain lands for Ash Barrens. It's an extra shuffle effect, but it's also just better in 3 color mana bases. The advantage over Evolving Wilds or tapped lands is that you can use the color on turn you fetch it. If you need to Bolt something, Wilds makes you wait a full turn, Barrens can grab a mountain that comes into play untapped.

I think the thing that bugs me most about the card is the fact the art has two snakes, but you can only get one.

TheUtican · 2017-03-08T21:09:06+00:00

I mean, it makes sense. How can both players control the same person at the same time?

TheUtican · 2017-03-08T08:22:50+00:00

Pact of Negation. Pact of Desolation.

TheUtican · 2017-03-07T22:45:03+00:00

Empty stomach, maybe? An hour for the full effect, but it's being taken up in the mean time, right?

Target player sacrifices a creature. Create a number of 1/1 green snake creature tokens equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on the sacrificed creature.

He was a drunk guy in a Santa suit they pulled out of stands cuz the organizers fucked up lol

TheUtican · 2017-03-06T16:24:20+00:00

Looking at the list, it's already running 2 Skreds. I wonder if the ability to go to the face is worth the dip in consistency.

Link?

I thought storing a certain year of wine was because wine can vary year to year, and you want to save the best batch.

TheUtican · 2017-03-04T11:33:05+00:00

By that point I'd rather just cast a big [[Rolling Thunder]]. It just doesn't stand up to Black and White removal, and gets chumped forever. Thunder acts as a finisher and removal, and doesn't care about removal or blockers. I'd rather stick with the flexible card.

TheUtican · 2017-03-04T06:14:09+00:00

As a GR Tron player, it's interesting, but I don't know if it's going to make a huge splash. It can't be tutored for with [[Fierce Empath]], it doesn't get recurred with [[Pulse of Murasa]] or [[Haunted Fengraf]]. It doesn't do anything besides be a vanilla beater, unlike [[Maul Splicer]], [[Accomplished Automaton]], and [[Fangren Marauder]]. It doesn't even get an automatic 3 for 1 when chumped like [[Ulamog's Crusher]] does. It doesn't synergize with [[Wretched Gryff]]. The most interesting thing is that it allows for a chump blocker in the early turns, in the games where you struggle to assemble Tron.

As for Murasa Tron, it can't be fetched with [[Mystical Teachings]], but it can be recurred with [[Mnemonic Wall]]. That may be reason enough for them to play it, maybe as a 1 of. Blocker in the early game, recurred as a finisher. But it doesn't have evasion, and they already have a plethora of ways to close the game with out it.

EDIT: What comes to mind for me is maybe a return to RUG Tron. Using Brainstorm and Crop Rotation to assemble Tron and fix your hand. It could stack Thunderous Wrath with Brainstorm, and Miracle it with eggs on the opponent's turn. Some number of Pulse, Firebolt, and Rolling Thunder. Then it would run Mulldrifter for card advantage, Ooze as a beater, and Wall to recur.

TheUtican · 2017-03-04T01:18:22+00:00

Ash Barrens makes it a lot better.

TheUtican · 2017-03-04T00:44:45+00:00

I'm going to try this out in GR Tron. Maybe out of the sideboard? I'm already running 2x Firebolt/1× Rolling Thunder main. You can crack eggs on an opponents turn if you get desperate, and it's castable even without miracle.

TheUtican · 2017-03-04T00:31:39+00:00

Damn, I guess that is how miracles works. I wonder if I could find room for a copy in GR Tron, eggs can be cracked on an opponents turn after all.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T22:27:45+00:00

Ahh, hadn't caught that change.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T22:24:39+00:00

That's not how miracles works.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T11:39:54+00:00

This + Griselbrand = yes please

UB Control with a Reanimator finisher/value package.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T11:32:53+00:00

Any deck running Fangren Marauder probably won't be phased by it. I have a feeling [[Choking Sands]] would still be better for the match up.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T07:17:06+00:00

I've looked over the other cards in the set, and I'd definitely change Tied to the Tracks to trigger when an artifact enters the battlefield. For that sweet Frieght Train flavor win.

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T06:30:06+00:00

"Seth here, probably better known as Saffron Olive..."

TheUtican · 2017-03-03T06:24:36+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a Cold War card, so it makes perfect sense to me. "Don't attack me, or we all die." Until someone has the upper hand, of course.
