This and that new 2 drop blue guy will help blue devotion out a lot.

Doubt it. Permission is a bad place to be right now- and none of MUD's threats carry the game well enough to play as a permission heavy tempo deck.

This is bonkers. This and a specter on the field is a mana leak. I don't know how this can be evaluated as bad in this meta.

It's only a Mana Leak at certain times, and only if you have the cards on the field to make it one, and only if you have mana to cast it with that you weren't spending to cast things to make it a Mana Leak, and it's never a Mana Leak when you need Mana Leak the most.

This is just Spell Rupture, and we all know how bonkers that was. Doesn't matter what the meta is, a counterspell on which you cannot rely on to do its job when needed will always be fringe a best.

Oh and it doesn't stop the things you need to counter.

I should probably just not talk about blue cards until I start playing blue more.

I actually like this a lot tbh, quite a nice design. Y'all whining about it are just that; whiners.

Thassas Rebuff is possibly my favorite card in the set so far.

Slaughter Games is hax against control, makes control players want to cry when their boss they were building up towards is completely removed from the game. Poor Elspeth/Aetherling/etc. :cry:

The problem with this in MUD is that it's bad against control (since if your devotion is more than 2 you are winning anyway). And control is where you need the counters. Pretty bad against MBD too I think. You can usually use negate or gainsay if you can only keep up 2 (instead of 3 for dissolve

Counter spells are bad against cards that can't be countered? huh, didn't see that one coming. I suppose I'll never play counter magic ever again. throw those cards in the trash.

Counter magic is always meta dependent just like every other interactive card in Magic. It'll take time to figure out whether or not this is good and some cards come in and out of favor.

Remember when Unified Will was laughed at and then actually turned out good? This feels similar.
