Kinda worked fine,but planeswalker were too strong and the conter cards too weak so trying to play without planewalker, especially jace, was impossible. | ||

He is certainly slow to get into play, no doubt about it, but I think he is a very viable Planeswalker option, even at 7colorless. We have to see the rest of New Phyrexia though. EDIT: Uh oh...I just reread Karn's text. His +4 causes the player to exile, therefore, there is no synergy between Karn's +4 and his ultimate. I believe only the -3 will work for the ultimate to be effective. So...yeah, not even close to Jace and definitely below Venser. EDIT #2: I'm hearing different things O_o...I hate PW mechanics >_< Can someone clarify for me? Look, he's gonna be too slow 90% of the time, that's all you need to know. People like to forget that 6 CCM is very different from 7 CCM. Getting to 6 CCM reliably is so much easier than 7, only 1 true ramp needed most of the time. | ||

Why don't you just win with Koth instead  He's gonna be too slow till something like Urzatron comes back. | ||

Saw there were a few posts about PW removal being limited at the moment and only saw Rachet Bomb suggested. Vampire Hexmage is a really good option for ending PW cards. If your not able to run black in Main or sideboard a great option in combo with any form of artifact destruction is Liquimetal Coating(This artifact is borderline broken, been having fun with this one). Phyrexian Revokers, early game hand snipe ie; Inquisition of Kosilek or Duress, and having LiL Jace x4 around to blow up Big Jace is always awesome especially for the cost difference. Straight up burning your opponent for 3 dmg to quickly dimish or pop PWs. Also in the newest set for Scars block will have: Hex Parasite 1 colourless for a 1/1 artifact insect tap X(phyrexian land - tap a swamp or sac 2 life) Target a permanent. Remove up to X counters from that permanent. ~ gains +1/+0 until end of turn for each counter removed this way. So ya lol lots of ways to make those PW's nothing but Graveyard fodder. | ||

I haven't really built any decks, just stared at other players' constructions. Still, I've seen that Nicols Bolas gets some competitive play, and his cost is just ridiculous. | ||

Bolas was also in a setting where you can get away with stuff like that. You try doing something like Cruel Ultimatum in T2 today and you'll just lose. Also, Bolas had far more useful abilities than Karn; taking a creature, destroying a non-creature will almost always be better than Karn's two. Also, with the promos coming out at this point in time almost guarantees that those Titans (most likely all) will be reprinted for Standard which means outside of niche decks (like the rotating out Eldrazi), the curve is gonna stop at 6 in most top decks.

Don't think i'll actually play too much of this as I enjoy being across from my opponent and MTG video games are notoriously lackluster imo.

Hexmage is good since you can cheat his damage to fake the "on the stack" trick you use to be able to do with first strike, but its BB so you won't see it outside of mono-black or black heavy decks....of which there is exactly 1 right now and that's Vampires. Ratchet is just jank, so many pacing issues with that card; do you drop it on turn 2, leave mana open for counters, drop a chalice instead, drop a stoneforge, drop a cobra, drop a hawk...etc. so many better turn 2 plays that doesn't suck on the play or draw. Liquidmetal Coating I have actually playtested heavily and it basically boils down to this, if you can resolve it turn 2 and land a turn 3 land destruction, you're good...or so you think. The problem with LC is that you would think it would play like the good old Red decks where you Stone Rain the fuck out of them until you can drop a win condition....except its not...Stone Rain is 1 card on 1 turn and you have the option of making separate plays on turn 2 to pressure your opponent, not true for LC where you have to play LC on turn 2 and then something on turn 3...which means that your investing 2 turns to destroy 1 permanent. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Myr Superion] + Myr Superion (2) Artifact Creature - Myr (R) Spend only mana produced by creatures to cast Myr Superion. 5/6 I don't know what to say about this card except fuck. I'm not looking forward to this card at all  . Got a vial? Say hi to an additional 4 goyfs + Show Spoiler [Mutagenic Growth] + Mutagenic Growth (G/Two Life) Instant (C) Garget creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Also an amazing card! Nothing much needs to be said about this card, it's strengths are so obvious. + Show Spoiler [Beast Within] + Beast Within (2GG) Instant (U) Destroy target permanent. Its controller puts a 3/3 green Beast creature token onto the battlefield. People seem to think this card is strong, might be a decent sideboard card in some green Legacy decks. Personally I like Krosan Grip better in almost all cases. Seems pretty strong for a standard card though, might be really strong there. + Show Spoiler [Jin-Gitaxias ] + Jin-Gitaxias (8UU) Legendary Creature - Praetor (M) Flash At the beginning of your end step, draw seven cards. Each opponent's maximum hand size is reduced by seven. 5/4 Won't see competitive play, but a hilarious card in casual play :D Source EDIT: Missed something insane... + Show Spoiler [Mental Misstep] + Mental Misstep (U/Two life) Instant (U) Counter target spell with converted mana cost 1. This set will indeed bring fresh air into Legacy | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 0 mana extirpate Surgical Extraction (B/2life) Instant (R) Choose target card in a graveyard other than a basic land card. Search its owner’s graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with the same name as that card and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library. So basically you can play it in a non black deck. The 1/1 infect for G is going to make legacy and pauper infect much much stronger, as well as the G/2 life +2/+2 spell.
