Is it shipped and sold by Amazon, or sold by a 3rd party and fulfilled by Amazon? If it's sold and Shipped, WOTC has direct distribution through Amazon so it's going to be legit
Domri, Chaos Bringer; Theater of Horrors
Kaya's Wrath
Original Domri was great.
Ramping into Carnage Tyrant and giving it haste seems good.
Sauroform Hybrid; Hackrobat; Rakdos Roustabout; Mesmerizing Benthid
For my Uncommon Cube, it's rock solid card selection early or late. Early, you ensure a land drop, late game you ensure a threat.
People keep complaining about hexproof in limited, quick let's make an overtuned memey hexproof card at mythic as an apology.
Are you being sarcastic? I don't have a problem if you are, I just can't tell lol. I thought Coldwater Snapper was seen as a decent filler in Limited.
Snapper ran away with too much like most beefy hexproof creatures they've printed at common (lol jade guardian)
I really have no idea how did that octopus pass play testing and QA, let alone get printed as a Mythic. Long rules text, conditional hexproof, creates two ultra-specific tokens that both players should remember and keep track of the creatures that they cause not to untap. It's an all-around mess.
Does this mean playing in real life, you would have to track which cards have been exiled by the card this and which were exiled through other means? Or does it only work on the card it exiled this turn?
Solid PW. Nothing busted tho.
Very strong card. You can play all the cards that got exiled.
I guess there is already a weird effect where in real life you can have cards exiled but you can't look at them.
And is it just me or is hackrobat quite solid for a 3 drop? If that thing ever gets unblocked, you could easily give it +8 or whatever depending on how long the game has gone.
Cards caring about what they've exiled has basically always been a thing. Any exiling enchantment does, for instance, from Oblivion Ring to Profane Procession. Karn (both PW versions) and Ashiok do, too, obviously. It's pretty low-overhead; you just tuck cards exiled by a permanent under the permanent exiling them.
Yes, you would probably shortcut this by putting the cards exiled by Theater of Horrors underneath it, similar to how you put the creature exiled by Seal Away under the Seal Away
Whenever stuff like this happens, I see people "exiling" stuff keeping it tapped under the card that causes it to become exiled, same as keeping the regular exile as tapped under the graveyard. Not that complicated in this case. You just keep whatever stuff is exiled that way as a "secondary hand" causing you to draw twice per turn and using cards in said secondary hand after opponent damage happened (which is ridiculously easy with Rakdos)
It'd die when you buff it the second time, unless it has counters or auras on it.
Gyre Engineer
"until end of turn". It goes unblocked, then you pay RB to pump her and give her lifelink, goes back to a 2/3 after cleanup.
Edit: btw, Simic is going to get pretty nuts
Thanks for the explanation. And I'm dumb and misread hackrobat as +2/+2. Yes it kills itself on the second one as-is.
I highly doubt domri will see standard play yes
Imo the octopus has no business being mythic.
Thats just bigfoot
Eh. Llanowar's a big deal because it's 1 CMC. At 3 CMC, ramp off something that doesn't get wrathed along with the elf.
Burn Bright; Gruul Beastmaster; Savage Smash; Essence Capture
I think Domri is very powerful and will see significant play if GR beats is a thing (which, who knows). If you run 34 creatures in your deck, you're 80% to hit 2 off its second ability; the first ability lets you easily jam a hasty Carnage Tyrant on turn 4; it starts with high loyalty and threatens to ult quickly.
Though it does have to compete with Vivien in the limited "noncreature spells" space.

Theater of Horrors is pretty sweet. It fits in a different sort of deck than Experimental Frenzy. Frenzy is all about one-turn blowouts, while this wants to build resources over time.
Domri is alright, doesn't cover any new ground.
Unlike Trumpet Blast, Burn Bright works on defense.

That Octopus is bumming me out. I preferred it when all the terrible mythic creatures were in red.
Unbreakable Formation
Domri is not good, 4 cmc sorcery speed draw 2 even with the impulse is too spin your wheels in a GR monsters deck. Plus one can technically defend himself by throwing a blocker in front of him I guess. Just run Vivien and call it a day.
Edit:
Name unknown, Instant: Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
Addendum: if cast during main phase they get a plus one counter and gain vigilance until end of turn.

MaRo's article for today.
* Gruul originally had enrage, but the dinosaurs of Ixalan needed the mechanic more.
* Then Gruul had "if an opponent was dealt damage this turn, do X", called turmoil. This was moved to Rakdos, using the cost reduction cards as a basis.
* As expected, riot was based on unleash. Granting haste was used because it only lasts one turn, and people didn't like the downside of unleash.
* There was some question about whether green should have so much haste, since it's only tertiary, but this was what pushed haste into becoming secondary in green. This led to discussion about whether black should become tertiary in haste instead of secondary, but they ultimately decided haste was fine in three colors, and black still used haste in ways the other two colors couldn't (common fliers and graveyard creatures).
* Rakdos started with a mechanic that looked at the top of the library to boost power, then shifted to a mechanic called finale. A creature got a boost, but then you sacrificed it at end of turn. Set Design decided that players would still feel bad about doing this.
* Azorius has a mechanic called precedence. When a creature with precedence entered the battlefield it could copy the enters the battlefield effect of another creature you control instead of using its own. This turned out to be almost impossible to write out concisely on cards, and it meant they had to be careful about all ETB effects in Standard.

Don't know why y'all are shitting on the octopus. It's a bomb in limited and it's probably good enough to see standard play in a Simic control/lategame deck that doesn't have convenient board wipes. It's a massive board clog.
Dovin Baan and Aurelia are both walking down the street towards each other, but they are both looking at cards in their hand and not looking where they are going. They bump into each other. The cards fly into the air and then fall onto the ground on top of each other. Dovin and Aurelia pick up their cards and they see this one.
"You got Boros in my Azorius card!"
"You got Azorius in my Boros card!"
They both turn their heads to the camera with a dumbfounded look on their face.
"arclight phoenix is unplayable garbage"
someone around here most likely.
Trollbred Guardian; Skatewing Spy; Combine Guildmage

Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn. Addendum - If you cast this spell during your main phase, put a +/1/+1 counter on each of those creatures, they gain vigilance until end of turn.

That Combine Guildmage is going straight into my merfolk deck in Arena, holy shit.
Adapt costs are stupid high in order to reward taking risks with the Biomancer Familiar though, not that good for limited but they will surely see use in constructed, especially with 4x Dive Down to protect your little tentacled abominations.
Yep, they fit in so, SO many jank tribal decks where +1/+1 counters (usually) matters... it's clear they wanted UG to stand out for a while.
