Might vs Mind decklists:

No snow lands! But they included Reach Through Mists + Peer Through Depths + Sift Through Sands => The Unspeakable, which is by far the coolest thing from Kamigawa. I think the decks might be fun to play.

Amonkhet!

Cycling! Brick counters! Mummies!

Finlay · « **Reply #7077 on:** March 28, 2017, 11:40:16 AM »

-1/-1 counters on everything!

Finlay · « **Reply #7078 on:** March 28, 2017, 12:07:00 PM »

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7079 on:** March 28, 2017, 02:41:04 PM »

Zombie goatman!

Aftermath spells are going to be hard to read on cockatrice!

Finlay · « **Reply #7080 on:** March 28, 2017, 04:02:24 PM »

I'm thinking an orzhov commander, utilising tokens, populate, embalm, zombie tribal and -1/-1 counters.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7081 on:** March 29, 2017, 08:22:28 AM »

Could be good!

Less good: the ultra-rare reprint cards this time around look weird:

Finlay · « **Reply #7082 on:** March 29, 2017, 08:57:41 AM »

I like them!

Wrath of God looks great

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7083 on:** March 29, 2017, 09:27:45 AM »

They'll look odd next to normal cards though!

Novogord · « **Reply #7084 on:** March 30, 2017, 09:15:14 AM »

The art seems great, the execution seems less...

I hope you guys are ready for some EDH on sunday

3 decks ready!

Finlay · « **Reply #7085 on:** March 30, 2017, 09:36:52 AM »

Got my breya deck ready, just need to order one manland and one temple

I'll buy the spare Boris charm off you Novo, it's £1.68 on troll trader

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7086 on:** March 30, 2017, 10:51:55 AM »

Embalm is more or less flashback for creatures. It should be good!

A full list of the invocations (except for the new gods):

There are some surprisingly low-value cards there - counterspell? Dark ritual?

Finlay · « **Reply #7087 on:** March 30, 2017, 01:28:15 PM »

flashvback that makes them zombies and tokens so can use both of those.

new gods?!
same as Theros ones?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7088 on:** March 30, 2017, 02:56:10 PM »

Five new mono-coloured gods, but no info so far on their mechanics. They might not use devotion.

Aven Mindcensor reprint!

Cat snake! ?

Finlay · « **Reply #7089 on:** March 31, 2017, 09:05:15 AM »

I never used him in edh, too trolly considering we don't use tutors.

Do you use him in any decks at your fnms rufels?

I'll probably put that catsnake in any green decks I have!

fuck off blue! hahahaha.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7090 on:** March 31, 2017, 10:07:37 AM »

I've never used Aven mindcensor because the card was (a) quite expensive and (b) had that horrible future-shifted frame. I might use this one! Bird wizard = Derevi's friend. But only at FNM.

Cat snake astonished me by being a cat snake! It's the weirdest creature type since fish crab. But, it's a good card. Surrak Dragonclaw's ability!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7091 on:** March 31, 2017, 09:06:07 PM »

Cycling dual lands with basic land types!

But.... only in allied pairs! I hope they do enemy pairs too.

Finlay · « **Reply #7092 on:** April 03, 2017, 01:31:03 PM »

Kahlia, Freyalise, Daxos and derevi precon commander decks getting reprinted as one product.

weird.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7093 on:** April 03, 2017, 03:08:02 PM »

Yes, that's 'commander anthology.' I'm not sure what the point is really.

Aftermath is real!

That one is an instant and a sorcery, which is weird.

Red god!

Finlay · « **Reply #7094 on:** April 03, 2017, 06:06:06 PM »

He's shit!
Damnit.

Also hate that aftermath card design .

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7095 on:** April 03, 2017, 06:40:09 PM »

I'm hoping the blue one will be good!

Finlay · « **Reply #7096 on:** April 03, 2017, 07:16:14 PM »

I guess he's maybe good if embalming and aftermath are really prevalent? A 3 turn clock if discarding what you drew and attacking.

Maybe they made the theros ones too good and these will all suck!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7097 on:** April 04, 2017, 10:27:53 AM »

She's probably fine in standard (madness is still around too), but I doubt she'd be worth it in EDH. Purphoros need not fear for his job!

Maybe the blue one will have an opposite theme? Can't attack or block unless you have at least n cards in hand, and an activated draw ability? And also flying.

Rules change on split cards! Now their converted mana cost is always the sum of both halves, instead of sometimes being that and sometimes being either of the halves individually. This means (for example) that you can no longer put fire/ice on an isocron sceptre!

In general though, the change makes sense.

Finlay · « **Reply #7098 on:** April 04, 2017, 11:45:22 AM »

and b/g might be related to cards in grave (although g could also be p/t of other creatures you control?)

It's the haste on the red one I don't get. She's surely rarely going to be hasting!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7099 on:** April 04, 2017, 12:12:18 PM »

Right. Haste + 4 mana indestructible = good! But no attacking unless on 1 or 0 cards clashes with that.

It should be first strike instead.

These gods are easier to kill than the Theros gods too, since they're always creatures and thus more vulnerable to things like tragic slip and swords to plowshares.
