Delina begs to differ, with luck or cunning she can be easily the most powerful creature card in the set, playing with her on Arena, even without enhancers, but alot of luck, she has single handedly beaten players for me. Even rolling a 1 and using her own power on herself can deal 6 damage.

I did run afoul of a Delina infinite engine once or twice in Limited so far. However, in today's design article, Maro reiterated that the dive mechanics were built for Limited, and to specifically not work in Constructed formats. Time will tell if they succeed, I suppose.

I'm still working on my collection in Arena, though I do have a fully functional Cleric Class deck (which, yes, is also Cleric Tribal). It is a solid core for a heal/buff engine in Standaed constructed.

That seems like something that still isnt top level competitive. Any card can win a game, but if a 3/2 4cmc card that doesnt have haste is game winning...Standard is fairly low power.

It shines in Limited, in my experience so far, but "Dies to Removal" springs to mind.

Yeah, a common phrase is 'you can win with a ham sandwich.' This card is decent, but it literally dies to shock (if shock is or is not in standard, I dont know right now lol).

Shoxk is I'm Standard for Atlanta the next couple Months, but there are plenty of new equivalents, too.

Frostbite will always be on standard with Delina....

Timing is very thing, and you want haste and/or mirror shield on her if you can do it.

Sure, but my point is, you can win with near anything. In a vacuum this card is not pushed, at least I wouldn't evaluate it as such.

The tokens

And the Dungeon Backs...

Interesting, that explains what's up with the double-sided Dungeon cards.

That is not likely to be a Constructed dominant combo.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

The Dual Lands with text should have been in the main set. And Port Town too. Reprints with new art, but it coukd show up in upcoming books too.

We will see, I believe dice rolling cards are stronger in the right builds then they think.

They can be handy, but like a lot of co.plex vombos they aren't consistent enough for competitive formats.

The Class cards are really good, however: stack a couple of those and Level them up with cards that synergies with their mechanics...quite the thing to behold.

It's going to be a bit inconvenient to turn over the dungeon card whist you are still in it!

Got the atropal out in Arena yesterday! Yay me!

There is no way for that to happen. The atropal is on the back of the tomb of anihilation, because you only get that token when you finish the dungeon. The other dungeons have each other's token, because you need the token while you are still in the dungeon.

Clever design work.

I don't really know if this makes Dragonborn with tails "canon," or just that WotC doesn't really care anymore if they have tails or not.

Arkhan also has a tail and was in the Avernus book, so not really a big deal here.

 

[Charlaquin]

I’ve always hated the lack of tails on dragonborn, so I certainly hope they’re becoming a standard thing.

If they told him to.draw them with tails, then it seems Dragonborn have tails now.

I’m happy with the lack of boobs on dragonborns. Reptiles don’t need boobs
