If you don’t leave a voicemail, I assume it wasn’t important.
I get asked sometimes when I don't leave a voicemail why I didn't. It's because I don't really care if you call back. I called because of something urgent, but not important. Just text me instead.
Unstoppable Slasher at home.
Seriously. Slasher is so pushed. It's insane that card is 3 mana. Even wilder that it's not even close to broken in current standard, but maybe that just means that power level is where we're at now.
The ward on this is nice, but at 5 mana, the opponent will have many ways to answer it. Or they can just take the hit and block it since it's only a 3/3 I guess.
Selesnya counters? Was that the deck with Venerated Loxodon?
I hope so. Selesnya has a ton of support right now, especially with the Gearhulk. That plus Sheltered by Ghosts can be the core of a counters deck.
The other deck that came to mind was Simic adapt, but I think that was in the beta.
I too want all AI chatbots to be unhinged Nazis. That way we might be able to all move off this chatbot bullshit and back to communicating and working with humans.
For an ability locked behind 12+ charge counters, I'd have hoped for an ability that favors big red. Maybe a ritual or some other kind of ramp instead? The haste might still be useful, but I'm sure there's something better there.
A 3 mana bushwhacker on a land is nice, but this feels like it'd be too slow for the aggro decks that really want this.
This will either be ass or busted, and I'm inclined to lean towards busted, assuming you can station while summoning sick like you can with crewing. Playing this t1 and tapping all your creatures when they ETB until this hits 12+ feels free in a meta where aggro doesn't overrun you in 3 turns. Plus, artifact decks tend to make big creatures pretty quickly, and Tolarian Academy is OP pretty much everywhere.
Missed opportunity to make this a kindred spell, sadly. Also, at 6 mana, I'd rather just play a double strike sliver most times, and it doesn't create slivers until the next upkeep.
Might be fun in limited and commander, but I don't see it anywhere else. A standard slivers deck would be neat though.
Questing Beast at home?
For 2 mana, this is a ton. It dies to basically all the removal in Standard though, so definitely more of a sideboard card in most decks.
This might depend on the warp cards that get revealed. We already know of a card with a 1 mana warp, so I think if more cards with cheap warp costs exist and they are otherwise playable, then this card might be playable as well.
This also depends on standard. From what I can tell, it's no longer a turn 3 format, so you might not need to thoughtseize/duress on t1 anymore, meaning you can hold this until it's more convenient.
This definitely does not replace duress/thoughtseize though. Those cards are good against control because they allow you to continue your turn afterwards, costing only 1 mana. This card feels better in a dedicated discard or midrange-ish deck that already can reduce its cost to 1 somewhat consistently.
If a trans flag is political, then so is a cross. In fact, I'd argue religion is more about politics than it is about faith these days.
Makes me feel for the people who actually use religion as a tool to better themselves and not just as a tool to argue for something when no better argument exists.
5 mana do nothing is going to be a hard sell. If stationing is easy to do, then this will be a 5 mana repeatable hero's downfall (or combo kill if you hit your own Screaming Nemesis). Otherwise this feels like a commander or limited card.
It makes you feel the wind a little too well though. But I guess that's probably a problem for everyone.
