Devotion only looks at mana symbols anyway, I don't think there's much if anything in MtG that would mess with it. You could lose Devotion if you turned your Evil Twin into something nonblue, for example.

Oh, now I see what you are saying.

Until further update from Wizards:
In your hand it is both a creature and an enchantment, so it is a creature. You do not have to pay 1 extra for Thalia.

Ah but things like Lucent Liminid is treated as both a Creature and an Enchantment at the same time therefore it would not be caught by the Thalia tax or Duress so that makes me thing that Thassa should not.

Thalia says noncreature spells, Thassa is a creature spell. It's not affected.

I had Thalia backwards, I mixed her up with the one that taxes creature spells.

Hmm well just based on the idea of an enchantment heavy block, and emphasis on devotion, I have been looking around, and mainly liked ideas of an enchantment UW control deck. I mean there's sphere of safety, pacifism, detention sphere, and I am sure a few more that are decent, add to that stuff that will come in from theros, could be cool

So I'm bashing away at a modern deck with the goal of coming up with a deck that won't murder my wallet but can reliably compete with various metas, albeit while not being fine tuned to any given one. This is what I've got so far:


Creatures
3 tithe drinker
3 high priest of penance
4 tidehollow sculler
4 nightsky mimic
2 sorin, lord of innistrad

Spells
2 path to exile
3 beckon apparition
3 inquisition of kozilek
3 edge of the divinity
3 zealous persecution
4 lingering souls
2 immortal servitude

Lands
4 godless shrine
4 isolated chapel
1 vault of the archangel
8 swamp
7 plains

Sideboard
3 duress
3 sin collector
3 brave the elements
2 path to exile
2 blind obedience
2 deathbringer liege

The deck doesn't really fit into control/combo/aggro since it does a bit of all three. Heavily messes with an opponent's hand early, beats down with a lot of efficient small creatures that demand removal and has really strong synergies across the board rather than relying on individual card quality. Nightsky Mimic and Edge of the Divinity are two key players along with Immortal Servitude at the 5 drop spot to bring back all my creatures conveniently costed at 2.

There's also a sub theme of token beats, with Lingering Souls, Beckon Apparition and Zealous Persecution, Brave the Elements and Sorin. Sorin's emblem is lethal given the sheer mass of little dudes I can put out, and I can also chump all day and race their 5 drop walkers to ult range.

would definitely like to dabble in a UW enchantment deck when theros is released!

I had some great success with it in a casual m14 draft with 5 other friends. Played only 1 game against each of them only though and went 5-0. Lol... It was a UW splash Blightcaster, was a ton of fun to play. Even got passed a Ajani's Chosen in the final pack and I literally LOLed.

Getting real excited about Theros. Super sweet art, super sweet looking block.

This isn't the greatest card by any means, but it was fun to crack a pack and get the regular and foil version of the same card.

[image loading]

My main problem now is that in order to play, I need to buy online, but Iove the collection aspect as well. I'm addicted to that new card smell. In other news, my wife is drawing up divorce papers I think.

Exact quotes when I tried to explain the game last night:

A: "So it is like Yugio then?" Obviously I replied with all the indignation a BW player uses when responding to a supporter of minesweeper.

B: "i can't believe what a geek you are." To which I had no response.

My shivan will keep me warm at night.

Is the divorce action still on the stack? You could always counter it with a Cancel.

Divorce papers don't resolve until both players pass back priority. but if it's anything like Risk, you should have let go of Asia a long time ago.

Not as good as it looks. Red/White color combo and they left off the most potent keyword, Haste. It's certainly playable, but more niche than you think, looks awful on the draw.

Whats the Pillar for? Voice? It doesn't look like your deck should struggle with Voice. I would be more inclined to just leave that card alone and let it dink me for 2 every turn.
