You added a "of" to Call the Gatewatch.

Any reason Containment Membrane is is link instead of a mouse hover? Also I don't like the flow of your giant card images in the blue article since they seem out of order unlike white.
You spelled flip Jace's name as Jave under the Broken Concentration rating.
You put Frost Linx instead of Lynx under Stitched Mangler.
Vessel of Ephemera under blue instead of whatever the blue Vessel is called, also you said it's a fine glue card instead of a fine blue card but then again it probably is a fine glue card.

Extra t in Biting Rain. Also called Nissa the Voive instead of Voice right under it.
Crow of Dark Tidings has an extra "the" in its name.


Corrected most of those (thanks!)

Glue card was intended. No idea about what happened with Membrane. I'm still messing with the images to see what looks better.

Solid write up Fel!

Black feels like it got a good boost across all it's aspects, but no one aspect became stronger than another color. I hyped it up too much, I blame SoI for breaking White :p

Wizards likes to include busted White cards in every Set, it seems.

When you get around to Green, I hope you mention the card that breaks 4 colour superfriends into being this season's Gruul Ramp :D

Well, the plan is to mention every single card. Which one are you talking about?

We'll see if you mention it in the set review ;) I know you'll mention every card, but on Friday evening I'll be using it as part of my list.

Read all of them, the rating of oath of Gideon seems a bit optimistic for a card that really only turns ob nixilis and maybe Gideon and jace,prodigy of vryn to unfair levels and the last two still feels sketchy.
Plus differently from the other oaths the second copy is hilariously underwhelming.
What am I missing?

Oh, an old card? Yeah, I'll only mention it if I feel it's relevant. We'll see.

I think the tokens are pretty relevant in general, although less than I initially thought. The extra loyalty has been a deal breaker more often than not, though. Especially with Chandra.

I think you're vastly underestimating Kindly Stranger. She's been a house in Orzhov Control. Delirium is easy to achieve, she can come out as an early blocker or, for one mana more than Gilt-Leaf Winnower, hit everything he can't.

I'm not really underestimating the card because I have actually played with it, and in a dedicated Delirium deck, and even in a deck where I'm going out of my way to make sure Delirium is there, that card has been really unimpressive.

I'm not sold on Oath of Chandra myself, is it THAT vital to PW.dec's game plan? A 3 damage to creature 2-of isn't something I can see being relevant outside of that deck when I could use Lightning Axe or Spell Mastery'd Fiery Impulse at instant speed.

You're right on the money about Red's weakness as a stand alone colour now. I think White has become the new Green, and Blue/Green has become the new Red. Black is still crying in a corner somewhere whilst Red is slowly being forced to hang out with him in said corner.

the second effect can be redirected to planeswalkers, playing against the deck that looked quite strong.

Your constant bad-mouthing of Allies is making me want to make a bunch of Ally decks just to prove you wrong. Then I looked at the cards and doubted my ability to do so. You win this round Fel!

I like things being allies, it means they trigger lantern scout, and I have trouble finding a better lifegain card that doesn't cost black

Between the veteran war leader, the ally savannah lion, Gideon, Lantern scout, and sylvan advocate, allies has a place in GW Humans at least.

Great write up again!

Agree with most of this being jank, one point of contention though is Oath of Nissa. I think it's a 4, EASY. One Green mana fix-all apart from instant/sorcery heavy decks (why are you in Green if so)? It's pretty splashable and although it takes PW.dec to use it's second text, the ETB is worth it alone.

Kindly Stranger is a 5 star card in limited but not at all in constructed

I agree about Oath of Nissa being really good. 4 stars I think

I can think of many Green decks that aren't instant/sorcery heavy that aren't interested in Oath of Nissa. The card is good, but it's very low impact, and you really need the fixing to consider it (by fixing I mean the EtB, not the PW text). A 4 is a card I'm going to at least consider, even if I end up cutting, in all my decks of that color, which is a thing I can say for Tracker and Recruiter, but I can't for Oath of Nissa. This is, of course, my opinion.

Thanks for the compliment :)
