Meh I don't even have the money to play modern right now, except maybe if I build Pyro-Twin, RDW or Fish..

I might build the Past In Flames deck that was mentioned in the SCG Newsletter recently since I have most of the cards for it and it would give me something to play for the GP Seattle trial(s) in my area.

Undying has the potential to be broken depending on what kind of creatures will have it. I thought persist was bad.. (looking at you kitchen finks).

Persist is the most annoying mechanic I've ever played against. Undying sounds worse.

I'm still waiting on that jar of eyeballs artifact to be spoiled.

Definitely got a Sorin coming this set:

So that's why they made the change, just to print those last three words.

First Mythic (I think) up at Gameshead -

http://www.gamehead.com/sites/defaul...er-7qvu2hv.jpg

Downright bomb in limited, but seems poor in constructed.

**Weltall** · 2012-01-10 11:11

More like pathetic* in constructed. Art is bad too. Just getting worse and worse at Wizards ; ;

Hey, the set symbol is sweet though, and I like the blue card that mills X and can be recast from graveyard.

**Olo401** · 2012-01-10 11:27

Not good in constructed??? Throw that baby into Pristine U/W/B Control and it's INSANE.

**Weltall** · 2012-01-10 12:13

You must be on drugs. There are so many options for 7 or less mana in that deck its ridiculous.

If my opponnent taps out for 7, and that thing is all he ends up playing, I'm considering myself lucky. Way too many options against that thing, tapped out or not. I'd rather have Elesh Norn or however you spell it, for starters. Karn even.

Elesh Norn is going to keep going up in price with that 5 1/1 total card being a legit win condition along with Cat tokens.

The interactions that it has with pristine is nice, but for 7 mana you want something that will impact the board more than letting you draw more cards. I don't think it's that good for the same reasons that most Esper or U/W control decks don't run Consecrated Sphinx anymore. It's just too vulnerable to spot removal like Doom Blade and Vapor Snag plus this new guy can also be Dismembered. Plus it's one more mana.

EDIT: Another spoiler.

Another .25 cent rare <3

Cool in limited though.

**miokomioko** · 2012-01-10 18:49

That mythic is so unimaginative. Slap a bunch of preexisting keywords on a creature and make it cost 7+ mana. Boooooring.

I hope they really did something fun with the spirit tribe instead of having just a couple of weak lords.

**Nama** · 2012-01-10 20:46

yay another trash mythic I can curse at when I didn't crack Sorin. Want more interesting non 7+ cost cards. Wizards has come up with what one good 7 cost(Elesh norn) since they first printed titans 2 years ago.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd we have a winner.

**Weltall** · 2012-01-11 01:00

Certainly playable and splashable in the human decks. Its ultimate might as well read: "You win."

**Bebopaloo** · 2012-01-11 01:02

any PW that can put bodies in front of it to protect it will always see play. The fact that they are fliers AND have lifelink is going to be amazing.

edit: just lifelink. still not bad. will have a bit of a harder time against u/w tokens then.
