Granted, you are entirely at the mercy of card draw from there on in while your opponents have at least 3 cards (assuming no mulligans) but c'mon, how many people are willing to bet someone will blow 7 cards on their first turn?
My favourite turn 1 play of all time was a game where I went first, Swamp -> Black Ritual x2 -> Mind Swords x2. The table had 7 people at it. Still got knocked out first due to instant aggro from everyone but it was worth it. It's one of those combos that basically mean people HAVE to play slow.
@Daniel Jenovah: Okay, nevermind. I'm an idiot with a garbage memory. I remember the effect so well that I mixed the mana cost up with a different card altogether. it is (1)B and is called Mind Swords, and if you control a swamp, you can sack a creature if you can't pay the two mana.
@Daniel Jenovah: no, it was a really old card (comparatively speaking), like...I’m tempted to say around the era which the Torment set was relevant. Had a half-hidden face of a guy holding twin falchions.
Are you playing Paper or MTG Arena, Jo? Just curious. Arena has access to the Allegiance cards as of today, and a lot of them are fun. I love Teysa Karlov for my Divine Visitation token deck.
@Chomper are you sure the card is all players? Because the card you're describing is similar to Witness the End http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=407592
/2 I know what the wording is on plenty of them but no results come up. For example, there's a card that states all players choose two cards in their hand and they are removed from the game. It's a black sorcery, costs (3)(B) and yet no results are yielded. Things like that are so strange.
I'm thinking of buying singles to make 3 or 4 decks based off of the playstyles I enjoyed back before I got rid of my whole collection. The only problem is that even with advanced settings to help search results, I still cannot find what a plethora of cards are actually called. /1
well i do put nexus of fate in my deck. but i did it as an anti mill. because you can't be mill out if you have nexus of fate. other than nexus of fate Gaea's blessing will also do the same and better if you play green.
@Marcos Kosteraku Sollero Gruul aggro can be the new answer to Teferi, they can set Rhythm of the Wild, and now Teferi deck can't counter you that much. They can also remove him with Thrash//Threat, at instant speed, so they can kill him before activating any effect.
Jo, you could go to a store to see a pre-release paper event xD
there are some nice stores in São Paulo
About Teferi, he's probably continue a strong deck, but golgari midrange and monored aggro are already dealing with him atm, I don't think he'll rule the meta anymore
The pauper troll deck is gonna be Persistent Petitioner, whileas Merfolk Tribal laughs in Zegana's face and keeps going with Herald of the Secret Streams. Combine Guildmage will be welcomed as a combat trick on a stick, and Gyre Engineer for ramp.
