Title: *SPOILERS* Avacyn Restored
Post by: JakeyWakey on March 15, 2012, 10:51:34 AM
Has anyone else seen this picture of Avycyn the archangel floating around, I'm far too lazy to post a link, but not too lazy to say that if this just so happens to be the actual Avycyn, she sucks.

That's lame if that is true.  I don't think she would even see EDH play.

I think that depends on your meta. I mean do you know how many Olivia EDH I've seen around? Although vamps are fun, I'd still rather be playing {Tsabo Tavoc}. She's a beast!

It's gotta be fake... First off she was trapped in the {helvault} by a demon so I doubt she would be pro demons. Her other  ability is lame as well. If that's her actual abilities than I would much rather have {angelic overseer}

I hope this isn't the real Avacyn, and good point on the pro-demons part. Is skirsdag a demon?? Cause that is who supposedly trapped her. Either way, I really really hope she's got more bang than that. I mean not even indestructible, I would hat to see her be a {victim of night}.

Spoilers don't start till April and if that's the real card that means there was a leak and wizards would be making a big deal about it. That being said I saw the card and I can saw its not real but if it's was or close to the real one it would be a bad card.

Well, she spent all of her time locking away devils and demons.  Its was just one Kick-Ass demon, Griselbrand, the most powerful demon EVAR, that got her sucked into the 'vault.  See more here:

So, if Avacyn is restored, and there are no more DFCs, then there are no more Werewolves. If that's true, then did she get rid of vampires, zombies and spirits too?

She is supposed to create a balance between light and dark. That's what sorin created her for. So there will be zombie, vamps, and the rumor is a werewolf that is always a werewolf.

It's confirmed that there are not going to be any dfc's right? I think it would be cool to have werewolves, or vamps the flip to humans and stay that way.

Storyline wise, I think there is going to be a piece of legendary equipment "Liliana's Veil".  Liliana should be joining forces with Avacyn to take down Griselbrand.  (W/B joining forces, eh Sorin?  *wink,wink*)

So, if B/W are working together, could we expect to see other enemy colors working together?  U/R Pirates?  G/U Sea-beasts?

Edit:  I just had an idea, Player/Planeswalker equipment!!  W00t!  They experimented with something similar with land "equipment" (fortification, {Darksteel Garrison})   ;D

The storyline for this can go many ways, and the set is going to be huge. I can actually see a very strange turn of events such as this, look at Rise of the Eldrazi. Sure, we were expecting the monsters, but we got a lot more than that. Just like right now, we're expecting a full on war against the darkness, and redemption, but how will it play out???

So apparently my brother has been doing research and it is predicted that there may be a possibility of 5 PW in avacyn restored and m13, the dak guy, seen in faithless looting, and the reason he is on innastrad to begin with some chick named kweefa, or something like that. We may also see a new garruk, an in veil cursed one, or he may die :(. And then we may see a new Lilliana freed from the demons who own her soul.

It is a video about the breaking open of Helvault.  Avacyn is freed, so is Griselbrand.  Liliana's gonna take him on.  Metric Tonnes of angels and demons/devils abound.  Werewolves become servants for Avacyn.  And for Prereleases, some locations will get and actual, scale model of Helvault that will only be opened when players accomplish certain task during.  Once opened, there are goodies for everyone attending!!!  SICK!!

Just pre-ordered my complete common/uncommon playset on eBay for $38 with shipping.  I find these are the best deals.  There is always great uncommons and sometimes one uncommon playset could return your entire purchase.....{sensei's diving top} would be a good example.....image buying a Kamigawa playset for $30 back then.

I still have to give Proph props for introducing me to this concept.

Honestly I'm still disappointed, aside from {heartless summoning} {birthing pod} and frite decks, she's useless, and those decks already have creatures just as potent as she, and aren't winning a whole lot. But I'm sure she'll be a good addition to these decks. Who knows maybe this is what they need to be more consistent in top 8.

Woah.
Pretty cool? I think she's a little too much though, CMC wise.
Without ramp I don't see her being very Standard worthy, and pulling her a a pre-release would be VERY hard to run, in Limited you have 18 lands, 22 other cards, that's the best way to make Limited decks IMO. To cast her you would need almost half! I don't deny the fact that she is a frekin' TANK though! But Triple White is hard...

She's out of this world on the coo factor by all means, art flavor and function.

Her playability is obviously in question, but sometimes that's not what's so important. MTG is about having fun ultimately and she's so sweet.

Anybody thought of cool ways to use her yet? My half serious one was to cast her at instant speed in response to a {Day of Judgement}. Silly I know, but imagine the look on the other guys face. "I just paid four mana to kill my own creatures."

Next card: Silverblade Paladin - 1WW, 2/2, Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired as long as you control both of them). As long as Silverblade Paladin is paired with another creature, both creatures have double strike.

Reminds me of a very powerful card from scars block.... *cough  {mirran crusader} *cough
Baby Crusader 
Soulbond seems like strictly better Banding

I like the sense of excitement it would build. Also, top decking on turn one and do 5 damage? Lolwut

No more than people might have cheated with {Delver of Secrets}.
Also, it'd have to be second turn because you'd need a land in play.

So would you just set your 1st card drawn on your turn to the side so you can keep it on the up and up?

No.  During your draw step, when you draw your first card for the turn, and it's a Miracle card, you may reveal it pay the Miracle cost, and put it on the stack.  If you don't cast it when this triggers, it goes to your hand and you can no longer cast it for it's miracle cost.
You can only cast if for cheap right when you draw it, at no other time.

Thank you for the correction bj, and I gotta say this set looks pretty cool, at least the first couple of cards do, lol. The one thing I noticed that has me bugging is that it looks like there may be a lack of planeswalkers according to the pack art. I may be wrong, but PWs usually show up on pack art, and aside from the devil looking dude in an old suit (not the grislebrand one) the others don't look very "PWish" to me.

I don't think Lilliana will be any more powerful till grislebrand is dead, so, and I hope not, probably not. And with heartless summoning, both of the big creatures are playable in standard. Or even pod decks until return to ravnica comes out.

I was not too impressed with Avacyn, but I like the demon guy. Almost love, actually, I think I'll build an EDH deck with him as the leader of the pack ;)

I'm a bit puzzled about this whole miracle thing. If I am to cast the card when I draw it, it would seem to me that the new time walk is pretty useless as I cannot cast sorceries in draw phase, hmm?

PAX East Compiled Info:
Avacyn has three main flights of angels, each will have their own legendary angel card.
There are griffs in AVR – kind of like griffons, but they have heron heads.
Tamed werewolves (wolfir) also, still werewolves but the rage curse is lifted.
Soulbond is a new mechanic in AVR.
Another mechanic introduced – Miracles! These cards have a new frame treatment to help make sure you know to reveal it when you draw. There are no black miracles.
Black and red have cool things like demons for black, and haste for humans.

They are Special event cards. Special versions of cards that you can only get by participating in specific events.

The Black one would be AWESOME In a creatureless deck.
Heck, even against a swarm deck, if you play it for X=1 it can be pretty potent.

So thoughts about {horrorcane}? I think it may see play in multiplayer and edh but not suitable for standard
Fake. I can't see R&D giving black two scalable sweep spells in the same set, three in Standard.

There are a lot of sites that show fake spoilers. There are a couple of sites that WotC likes and gives previews to them, but not every site.

{killing wave} currently at $2 preorder. I'm thinking if getting a playset in case it ends up like BSZ. What you guys think?

I'm glad someone else thinks so, I think it'll be really good one way or the other
I like {killing wave} more then BSZ.
I think killing wave is kinda useless, it's a sweep card that doesn't reall "level" the playing field like a "sweep" is supposed to. It's an aggro sweep card, which most aggros avoid main decking, and in control decks, your opponents life total is rarely a concern. I still think BSZ beats this out of the water. I pick a play set of {doom blades}, and or {victim of night} over it 9 times out of 10. It all sounds good, but an experienced player will pay the life for the one creature you need dead, if he can afford it.

I like it, it favors a couple of large fatties while hosing tokens and weenies.  This will play into Black for AVR.

I am digging {Demonic Taskmaster} he can be a one man wrecking crew.  Notice it does not say to sacrifice him if you can't sacrifice another creature.  A 4/3 flyer for 2 colorless and 1 black is nuts.  I see that guy in an old school mono black control deck that destroys hands, creatures, and controls the board.  {Killing Wave} will be awesome with this guy too since you won't have many creatures on the board.

Bigolly it is a miracle!!!!

Playsets of {revenge of the hunted} are going for as low as 6.45 with shipping on eBay.  Just trying to decide it is going to be a junk rare under a buck or not.

Am I the only one that feels the flavor of these two PW's seems just random and nothing to do with the story. I mean Avacyn, G-brand, Lili, Thalia, Sorin, Mikey, this is where the story is revolving around. So I would say quite frankly, who the F are these two? Nothing against the cards themselves, they look good in the proper decks, but for me flavor wise, just junk. Seems like the design team drew a couple PW's out of a hat with the intention of making up flimsy stories. Tamiyo is there to study the moon? Give me a freakin' break! That's just weak. Ugh, my tiny rant for the day.

Hate the blue, and I agree, completely random, but Tibalt is pretty sweet. I like how fancy he looks, a half-demon Planeswalker on Innistrad following in the wake of a destroyed Hellvault makes a lot more sense than a frekin' Merfolk from Kami! Wth? I like him though.

Oh yea Tibalt isn't THAT bad, some background on him would be nice, maybe some foreshadowing a few months ago too. This is just bad story telling. IMO. And also, there better be 3 PW's cuz I thought Dakk Fayden(sp) was supposed to be here... No check that, 4 PW's. Where's Thalia's spark!?!

That's fair enough, but it just feels like they're putting out PW's then making the story after. And I think that's junk. But if they make Thalia a PW, I'll be happy

I'm not sure if a clan deck will be so dangerous, yet at least. However I do think heartless summoning wil finally see its full potential with the addition of AVR, I am curious to see what comes next, so far Mage blade is getting most of the love. I figure haunted humans will get some love as well. I haven't seen a shift in power in the meta yet (we're only 40 cards in) but I have a feeling the top tier will only get stronger. Angels have not displayed enough power to change the meta as much as eldrazi did.

My thinking is that we already know that there was one planeswalker for each color except for white in this block, with {Liliana of the Veil} for black, {Garruk Relentless} for green, {Tibalt, the Feing-Blooded} for red,  and {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} for blue.

Because it can reset your hand while making your opponent discard his hand and his/her current game plan. Also in frites it is really good. Or any reanimater deck for that matter.

I don't play green and I like {wolfir silverheart}. Pair that with the {silverblade paladin} or with the the new {champion of lambholt} seems like fun. Plus {Appetite for brains} is such a flavorful card and has its uses. {decent into madness} is Intresting to say the least. {goldnight redeemer} seems like a limited or pod card. {Nephalia smuggler} would be better if his ability costed 3 and not 4.

I get {lure} cuz it is still trading creature damage.  I guess when I think green I think of massive creatures with trample that do not really need to be unblockable.  Adding these evasive guys just seems like a shift from the roots of green.  IDK maybe I am being to overly critical.

Oh, because precedent was set conditional unblockable with {Aura Gnarlid}, {Battering Wurm}, and {Skarrgan Pit-Skull}.  I like to think of it as "Bullying".  Similar to Intimidate, but more combat related.

Is that not the same logic with the u/r utility land, Does essentially tapping 4 mana to drop and pick up a card worth it or is that trash competitively

This might have been sarcastic and definitely wasn't referring to me, but for those who don't know it's:

Land
As Cavern of Souls enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
(T): add 1 to your mana pool
(T): add one mana of any color to your mana pool, use this mana only to cast a creature spell of the chosen type, a spell cast using this mana can't be countered

{Vexing Devil} is solid.  I think {Temporal Mastery} is getting a little over-hyped IMHO.  Like Sorin, LoI.  I DO think there are some good cards this go round, and I think if people can make it past early-game aggro, that some of these high CMC cards are going to be relevant.

I'd also like to try {Griselbrand} with {Heartless Summoning} and cheap stuff.

Me personally would use it in my burn deck, anything else then yah I'm out a card but 4 damage or a 4/3 creature for just 1 mana is crazy

4 damage ONLY to a opponent. It is NEVER a 4/3 creature, unless the creature doesn't make any difference anyway because the opponent has board superiority. It's useless.

Like I was saying though, perfect for a burn deck as a 1st-3rd turn card

Well of course, but I'm pretty sure it's useless in RDW outside Standard.

Four damage to a player for R is still pretty good for RDW, I think.  I'll leave it up to more knowledgeable players than myself though.

T1 vexxing, take 4. T2 goblin arsonist, goblin grenade. 10 life left after 2 turns? Yeah that's not good.

I do see one issue with {Vexing Devil}, the more the game progresses, the less impact it has.  He's 4 damage early game when your opponent has more life, and a 4/3 when your opponent has drawn into more answers or fatties.  I do appreciate what Piotr's saying, in that it's inconsistent because your opponent can chose the lesser of two evils.

I also think that Standard format is what causes the buzzing.  We Vintage players players are crotchety old folks with insanely high standards.  ;)

Less imPact as the game goes, to an extent. Strictly speaking of standard of course.

A 4/3 for 1 mana in any circumstance is great! Since when is it a bad thing?

I think the hype is appropriate. Not broken, a huge boost and a staple in a RDW for sure

If your opponent is at 6 life, and can kill you with the creatures on the table, they'll take the 4 damage and you'll wish you had a blocker.

If your opponent has nothing on the table and is looking to stabilize and is sitting at 25 life.  They'll take the damage.

If your opponent is at 2 life, but has a {Doom Blade} in hand, they'll let you have a 4/3.

Agreed, that is why this set is kinda like meh to me.  I do like the black cards like {demonic taskmaster}, {demonlord of ashmouth}, {gloom surgeon}, {dark impostor}, and {treacherous pit-dweller}......I even like {homicidal seclusion} just wish it didn't cost 5 CMC.

A lot of ifs. You're playin RDW late you're doing it wrong. <t5-6 win very easily.

All of the points you said ate true. I think first hand the opponent has a really tough choice, thus the buzz.

You're out 3 cards and I didn't even do anything. I spent zero mana. That's not good, that's brilliant, thank you!

I still think it's a good card, don't get me wrong.  Just playing "devil's advocate"  ;)

You asked when a 4/3 for 1 is a bad thing, so I gave you some scenarios.  I many cases, this guy is a good opener, lousy finisher.  With every turn that passes, his value goes down.  Still, in a deck that plans to win T4-6, probably won't matter, but I can see players wishing they'd drawn a kill spell instead.

Tough choice? Unless I hold a {Doom Blade}, I take the damage, it's not a choice it's a no brainer. You're not getting to keep a 4/3 crit on T1 unless you're playing a Zombie.

Think about it, you're giving me Dismember for free. Really, thanks!

I have played all week with the new cards (proxy) and the thing I can say about them is ... Green are so much Op !

The fact that they can play a 6/6 (Titan in example) on turn 3 it's just horrible ... Then on turn 4 they can soul bound them with the card that give +4/4 to swing for a 10 trample

They can really have over 10 mana around turn 4-5 ( no joke )

I thougt red was going to shine ... But green is 2000% better
