Posdibru indeed; I really want to try this archetype out in this new set.


Well Blue did get a decent 2 drop common in Aether Swooper. It's not fantastic, but 2/3 stats for 2 is better than Welkin Tern.

I usually don't complain about the ratings but there is NO WAY Spire Patrol is a 0.0. It's totally a 2.0 (Gem! Back me up on this)

I think it's very playable in the right deck.

Thanks for writing these articles, Fel! Great way to introduce ourselves to the expansion.


I don't think it's that bad either.. I think there's a tapdancer deck that wants it actually. Frost Lynx, the Pestermite spirit, this thing, Kytheon's Irregulars, some solid two drops including Dauntless River Marshall.. holding up mana for tap effects and counterspells on turn 4-5+


You know someone's going to build a deck that goes Unsubstantiate into Reflector Mage into Spire Patrol into Niblis of Frost + Essence Flux RM, and I'm going to be like ID RATHER YOU JUST COUNTER MY ****, YOU SICK BASTARD

I'm not sure that I want to use something that requires 5 lands in a tempo deck, and that gives me a 2-3 mana effect until I untap with it to attack.

Spire Patrol is 4cc tho...

I think 2 is overly optimistic; would say maybe 1. But I have a poor understanding of the grading scale so imma shut my fool mouth

Fel suffered a terrible blow to the head the other day and entirely forgot English. He's going to have to re-learn it before he can type up an article most of us can read.

I think his computer is on the fritz. That and this set looks hard to fully evaluate, so I don't blame him for taking his time.

This. I can't properly edit the articles to make them anything more than a giant wall of text from my phone. I'm really sad about it, but I think the podcast will be the only place to give my opinions about the cards, at least for the time being :(

It would still take a lot longer than normal a be very annoying, but it would be doable.
