Wow this is a pretty big addition to modern, seems great in Yawgmoth

Is this the first time they’ve ever printed “this ability only triggers twice each turn?”

andrew,

Seems pretty versatile for eldrazi/tron decks. Even if X is 0 you can draw a card and exile a creature token for cmc 2 which seems decent.

Otherwise this is instant speed reanimator/grave hate, ramp, card filtering, and/or creature removal and in tron it feels negligible to get X pretty high if need be. If it hit creatures and planeswalkers I think it’d be nuts.

Dang that face is nightmare inducing

Yeah significant upgrade, 1 mana less and it hits planeswalkers. I guess that’s the difference between modern and standard.

Wow love this reprint! One of my favorite cards from Saga block.

Wish they got new art that fit the frame better but I’ll never complain for high powered retro reprints 🙌

Holy crap Jet Medallion’s art is super creepy, been a while since I’ve seen some classic gross MTG art!

andrew,

Wow this is so cool, really fun and powerful effect here. Art is absolutely amazing and perfect for the old frame too.

Didn’t really think free spells are something we needed more of in Modern and Legacy but at these feel somewhat underwhelming, and require creatures at least.

The blue one is obviously good for Merfolk but also would work into the cascade decks running Shardless Agent.

Wow this seems like a nice Urza’s Saga toolbox card and pretty decent cheap/sideboard hate against the pitch elementals, Force of Negation/Will, omniscience, etc. Incidental Plot and Mishra’s Bauble hate too 😜

This is a cool card, like the interesting use of exert on a land. You could give two creatures haste with this as well if you spend one of the reds on each which is kind of neat.

andrew,

And draws 2 cards, or 4 if you give your opponent a pair of 2/2s as well.

Still crazy to me that a 6/6 trampler for 4cmc is not only at uncommon but probably not playable!

andrew,

Pretty nice planeswalker removal + mana drain effect!

andrew,
@andrew@mtgzone.com avatar

Seems too narrow sadly but does hit Wrenn and Six, Omnath, and Teferi in 4c Omnath. Does not hit The One Ring sadly, or the elementals or Binding.

andrew,
@andrew@mtgzone.com avatar

Ah! Good call 👍

I believe the buyer’s name is hidden, which makes this all the more suspicious. I mean this is like 6x the price of the most recent highly graded alpha Lotus, which was only a year ago.

If his upper leg goes all the way to the end of that armor then yeah he’s like 8’ tall. It looks like his knee might stop well before the leg armor though, it’s hard to tell if thats sky background poking through there or not.

Really well named card. Winter from Winter Orb, with Moon since it only affects nonbasics.

I doubt this is good enough in Modern as a stax or tempo card but you never know.

andrew,
@andrew@mtgzone.com avatar

Oy another Eldrazi Temple for Modern. Even “protects” a big boy for later, assuming it doesn’t get destroyed.

andrew,

Wow is this the first completely land-based land tutor? I wonder if this goes into Amulet or even Legacy Lands? Legacy is running Elvish Reclaimer now and this kind of does the same thing, albeit doesn’t represent a clock at all if need be.
