Worldwake Hopefuls
This is a geek post. If you're looking for gay content, this post is not your read.
A new set for Magic is releasing very soon. It's Worldwake!
Fuck, Magic is seriously killing me. I haven't even got my playset of Baneslayer Angel yet and now this.
The good thing about Worldwake is that it is a small set and the number of cards are lower which means it's easier to collect the cards and the price won't be soaring too high compared to M10 cards (cibai Baneslayer).
Among the cards that I'm looking forward to have a playset are;
1) Abyssal Persecutor
A 4 mana for 6/6 flying trample is insane. Of course, it still doesn't solve Baneslayer but this is just wicked! Not many would be able to answer to him whacking them on the face. And when you're in Black, you have plenty of answers to take him off when necessary. For Standard play, we can always rely on Fleshbag Marauder (get rid of shroud creatures in Control decks too!), kicked Gatekeeper of Malakir or go tier 2 to Bonespliter, Assassinate or splash red for Terminate. If you're splashing white, you don't even have to worry as Path to Exile, Journey to Nowhere, Oblivion Ring and etc would come in handy to seal the win for you. This is my number 1 hit list for sure.
2. Jace, the Mind Sculptor
As much as he's a planeswalker and he's good, but I seriously don't see a deck that he can find home to yet. Nevertheless, I'd still want 4 copies of him as I currently have a strategy to abuse him but I'm not gonna share it yet...
3. Basilisk Collar (no image)
Basilisk Collar (1)(colorless)
Artifact - Equipment - Rare
Equipped creature has deathtouch and lifelink.
Equip (2)(colorless)
1 mana equipment with such ability is very interesting. This is not high priority for me, but I'd love to have a playset as I have a feeling this might get out of hand. Imagine this on an Abyssal Persecutor? Well, lifelink is what matters since with a 6 power, everything would be smashed into pieces (except for Wall of Denial, so yea, deathtouch is handy!)
4. Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs (no image)
Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs 3RR
Legendary Creature - Ogre Warrior - Rare
Whenever a creature under an opponent's control attacks you, put a 3/3 red Ogre creature token onto the battlefield unless that creature's controller pays (3).
P/T = 5/4
5 mana for 5/4 in red is decent but the ability is so wicked and does not belong in Red for sure. Seriously, this is a control card. Why would such control card be in Red? That would be a question for Wizards to answer but as of now, I like this very much and I'd definitely want a playset of it to brainstorm what kind of fun impulsive control decks I can make with him.
Other cards that are noticeable includes;
1. The red hating Kor Firewalker;
Kor Firewalker WW
Creature - Kor Soldier - Uncommon
Protection from red
Whenever a player casts a red spell, you may gain 1 life.
P/T = 2/2
Bye bye Red Deck Wins. With this, Abyssal Persecutor, Baneslayer, Wall of Reverence, Wall of Denial in Standard, I seriously think it's time to bid you farewell. What? Ball Lightning for 3 nett damage? Lol. Definitely 4 for sideboard if you're running white.
2. Can be quite broken Archon of Redemption,
Archon of Redemption 3WW
Creature - Archon - Rare
Flying
Whenver Archon Of Redemption or another creature with flying enters the battlefield under your control, you may gain life equal to that creature's power.
P/T = 3/4
White seriously has an overwhelming arsenal of fliers. With the right cards, you'd be gaining damn freaking a lot of lives! Don't underestimate him.
3. The every colors' Borderland Ranger - Pilgrim's Eye
Pilgrim's Eye (3)(colorless)
Artifact Creature - Thopter - Common
Flying
When Pilgrim's Eye enters the battlefield, search your library for a basic land, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
P/T = 1/1
Fixing color ain't gonna be difficult anymore with him around. Furthermore he's a flier that can swing! Hurrah!
4. The landy land - Tectonic Edge
Tectonic Edge
Land - Uncommon
{T}: Add 1 to your mana pool.
1, {T}: Sacrifice Tectonic Edge: Destroy target nonbasic land. Activate this ability only if an opponent controls four or more lands.
Man, this is so gonna ruin the day for Jund or any decks that run too many nonbasic lands. I foresee this in a Spreading Seas deck and trust me, you'll fall asleep fighting that deck if you run a tri-color deck.
Truth to be told, I'm not too happy with the cards spoiled so far. Wizards said they're gonna make Blue better. From the current cards spoiled, there's only 2 playable blue cards for control (Jace and maybe Treasure Hunt). Fuck this shit.
Oh well, not like my dissatisfaction change the way Wizards design cards. Let's just hope I get the cards I want from the Pre-release sessions I'm attending this weekend. If you're a Magic player, tell me what cards do you want to get your hands on from Worldwake and share your reasons? :)
Cheers
