Title: Opinions on Anafenza?
Post by: DimirOverlord1300 on October 11, 2014, 11:28:42 PM
What do you guys think about her in melira pod? Resets your persist dudes, pumps guys, and disrupts GY strategies. I like her, second opinions?

{Anafenza, the Foremost}

I don't see her in Melira pod. She wants to be attacking to remove persist counters, and she's blocking {Kitchen Finks} in the 3 spot. Finks is the primary target. It could be a sideboard option though.

Overall I wish she weren't in Abzan colors, would be a good Selesnya card. She doesn't feel very black to me, but it is difficult to design wedge cards.

There are better cards that will keep her out. Pontiff, Linvala just to name two of the top of my head are better.
Your opinion was the one I needed most Conan. I might give her a try, but the points against her are all valid

A little off the original topic, but how about Anafenza in Junk Midrange (or maybe in the sideboard)? It's comparable to Doran, which saw play for a long while, and exiling creatures from the GY shuts down {Living End} decks.

{living end} already has enough creatures in the yard by the time she hits the field :p

Not when you have the potential to cast it T2, especially on the play.

{Living end} can still easily have 3 creatures in the yard by that time. And casting it turn 2 on the play is the only time it might be relevant. Definitely not something that scares {living end} players very much.

Also {Living End} is basically nonexistent now

A shame, it was such an easy matchup for my Ravagers ;)
