In the current meta whgat does it stop? Off the top of my head Master of the wild hunt, mana dudes, cunning sparkmage.... what am I missing?

Oh, Thornling I guess.

It's ok but not like it's going to destroy any decks. I'd almost rather have that urza's armor angel from M10

[oldoldman]

Also even Kamigawa had a few good cards.

edit: totally misread this card

It shuts down a lot of Extended pretty hardcore.

Also does some damage to Vampires (Hexmage, Highborn)

I guess it's pretty good now that I remember Knight of the reliquary.

I still like heartstone better because you don't need a specific color to play it.

I would normally agree, but "U" is such a more appealing cost to me with all these levelers being so cheap to get on the table, not to mention there's for more reasons to splash a little blue than just Training Grounds.

I really liked the idea of levelers from the get-go and shit like

make it that much more appealing

That argument might hold if it was like UU for heartstone effect

At U for 2 heartstone effect, it's not even remotely close

If a levelers deck ever actually becomes decently popular Consume the Meek will wreck them.

Seriously... it's an instant speed wrath... seriously?

Not like pernicious Deed or EE instant speed. Like consume the meek out of fucking nowhere instant speed.

Leveler decks will have blue for countering such things.

How much is the new set going to affect the Jund decks? My friend and I are about to buy the cards for it this week and start playtesting. Don't want to buy them all if its going to get knocked out.

levelling up is a sorcery effect though, you either hold back your mana for counter instead of levelling, or spend em and risk getting blasted there.

Speculation says it won't do shit to Jund. But who knows, something out there might dethrone it (not likely). It does get an interesting creature in Vengevine tho.

As long as Bloodbraid elf, blightning, putrid leach and sprouting thrinax are in standard jund will be good.

Thank you gentlemen.

Vandillion Clique ftw?

[CrosisX]

As a whole the set is rather interesting. I guess i'll see how it plays tonight in pre-release booster draft.

[gaimear]

First prerelease, do they usually provide lands for the sealed deck tourneys? or will I have to bring my own.

[CrosisX]

My local shop provides the basic lands i don't see why others shouldn't supply the lands especially when you can buy like 1000 lands for a dollar or something lol.
