I kind of like Killing Wave. It's situational and no superstar, but it can be used to put yourself in a really nice position. Life in this Standard format trickles away quickly. 1 of in Zombies? | ||

Apparently Personal Tutors are going out of stock everywhere. My friend came up with Insidious Dreams if you could ever manage to resolve one, for the 4x time walk in a row, still unlikely although funny. | ||

The angel will shut down pod, it will shut down things like phyrexian mana. It will shut down stuff like Griselbrand's activated ability. It will not shut down stuff like the upkeep triggers for the revealed demon. | ||

In Legacy it's a 4 mana card with a huge color requirement that doesn't win you the game and doesn't affect the board if it dies immediately, I don't see it getting played. Modern maybe, it would go nice in that hatebears deck. It'd be huge in block if there's a demon/sacrifice subtheme going on, since black in general this block has a huge sacrifice theme to pair with Morbid. | ||

Those are all triggers, not spells or activated abilities. Reading is tech. The angel will shut down pod, it will shut down things like phyrexian mana.

Shocklands have a replacement effect which affect how they come into play. Understanding the rules is tech. | ||

I believe it does stop shock lands as they read "you may pay 2 life" and the angel reads "Players can't pay life" On the other thing I don't know that so I wont comment. | ||

That's what hkf is saying. In either case: http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Replacement_effect. Reading up is nice. Edit: I should clarify that hfk is saying that it's not a triggered ability. It won't stop shocklands. | ||

Try to break this Blue Rare Enchantment for the set: + Show Spoiler + I hope they don't print a pinger at common in this set: + Show Spoiler + I'm glad they didn't give this evasion of some sort: + Show Spoiler + Angel Statue: + Show Spoiler + Combat math just got a little messy, it's the R/W legendary mythic angel: + Show Spoiler + A couple thoughts: Arcane Melee seems too slow to make something out of it. Many people will try though. I wonder if they are printing vertical cycles for the soulbond guys. We've seen a common and uncommon in U, and a rare in W. The tomb is solid in limited, especially if you have any flash creatures. The legendary mythic angel cycle appears to be costed XCWW, and exclude B. Avacyn is 5WWW, so that counts. Gisela seems like a one of in Frites, as if you can untap with it you can attack for 10 first strike, and it's pretty difficult to kill through combat. | ||
