The mechanic behind this card wouldn’t make any sense without the art.

The only Mythic I pulled all day, which was kinda disappointing. Also I placed 10th out of 30-something, so I just missed getting into the Top 8. Still, this prerelease was still more fun that the last one I went to. I ran Red/Green aggro, which either won really quickly or didn’t win at all. Also a kid gave me half of his chicken and bacon pizza, so that was cool.
This is what every custom card thread on /tg/ devolves into.
I went out an met new people.
However, this occurred at Friday Night Magic, so it was a complete and utter nerd-fest.
Those of you who do not play Magic: the Gathering will not understand or care about the following.
I love the art for this. There’s this horrible-looking creature before him and dude’s just like, “Nope, you can fuck right off,” and kamehamehas it in the face with one hand.
To kick off spoiler season for Avacyn Restored, we have Avacyn herself!
Avacyn, Angel of Hope doesn’t really feel like a constructed playable card. It costs 8 mana, and it doesn’t really make any immediate impact on the board, besides having a big body. It should be a great card for EDH though, making all of whites sweepers especially brutal.
Because FUCK YOUR SPOT REMOVAL.
Except for Dismember. And Tragic Slip. And any Infect deck…
I was hoping for a better effect for that cost, but I still like it, and she could do wonders for token-heavy decks or decks that rely on keeping certain combos on the field.
I went down to my LGS during my lunch break today and picked up some Dark Ascension packs because I’ve been meaning to get back into Magic. In my first pack I opened three mythics: Vorapede as the mythic, Elbrus in the flip-card spot and a foil Mikaeus in the back. After that I also pulled a second Mikaeus and a Falkenrath Aristocrat. Not too shabby.
