It doesn't have the word "may". So it's a requirement to sacrifice it on the opponent's next spell. If it had "may", now that's a really strong card.

Edit: Ninja'd

And that's why you're using it in tempo or midrange, not control (unless you're intending to recur it) - you're supposed to be using the extra turn to win or vastly improve your board position. The delay factor is supposed to be significant. In that regard, it's like Acid-Moss. You're putting yourself ahead a turn or two and then riding that momentum to victory. If you want control uses, then you need to recur it - preferably every turn. This thing makes me immensely glad we don't have Sun Titan.

Yep. If it was 'may' it would be amazing. If it comes out t3, 4 even 5 it's pretty good, just after that it loses its shine. Anyhoo the pudding is in the proof.

August 1st makes no sense, that's a Monday.

And all da horzies birthdayz

The only popup I get is about prerelease and EMN arriving in duels soon which my bet is still on 20th of July.

Is Wednesday the usual day for release? Wednesday the 27th then?
I'm sure I keep downloading on the Thursday given my time difference.

Isnt it time to open the casino and start betting on how big the delay is going to be for this new set release?

I'll put my money on October release... Jk, I hope.

I don't think there will be delay. The only card I think they will want/have to include that's a nightmare is Emrakul. Even if they let you access the opponent's hand ala TKS and play the cards accordingly that would be fine.

Am I overrating this or is this really f*cking good? Fixing, draw, delirium enabler... at common.

Lets not forget that they screwed up working cards with the last update (Disciple for example), so they can screw up even seminal simple things. I have a feeling meld cards will be bugged...
Só august 1st, the bug Hunt begin!
I bet the first thing Everyone's gonna test is the Priority "feature"...

It's probably fine if they've fixed priority. Fwiw, we have better delirium enablers though.

The full set.

Just...WHY?

Could be useful in my aether grid deck... It could fill in empty slots in a whole bunch of decks (not that decks usually have missing slots, usually the other way around). Mill could use it as mana fixing insurance and another draw for tutelage... Not bad, but nothing extraordinary.

Prob doesn't quite cut it. Has uses yes, but do you really want to pack 3 or 4 of these into your deck? I guess I'm comparing it to deathcap cultivator which gives you the extra mana from t3 unlike this. Best used for delirium.

Absolute ton of cards being revealed right now. Is it that 'just reveal everything' time already?

Not overeating at all. Very strong.

Stand outs for me:



Enchantment that pulls double duties, pretty good for an aura.



It's nice to have this effect outside of Blue or multicolor.



Poor man's Control finisher. I'm a poor man.

Ok, I'm actually surprised by the amount of "same-as-X" or "worse versions of X card we already have" are in here. There's a version of Read the Bones for example.
