Silverheart The Simic

[Killin88]

Do you think he will go up? I was planning on making a simic deck and his ability seems quite powerful by pairing him with a 0/0 counter living creature, then moving the counters to wolfir making him 8/8+some and having ( if they release one ) a creature that gives creatures with +1/+1 counters trample

I don't know if he will go up but he is still wicked powerful. He's an 8/8 for 5 with a  {Blessings of Nature} built in. Simic will get more land to support but you already have unblockable creatures to pair up with wolfir... I think it'll only get better.

There's nothing to say the new simic will have the same ability as the old simic.

I cant wait for gatecrash!
All the interesting guilds except golgari and izzet are there!

Simic is going to be a horrible time. You've been warned

Who knows!
Simic as the colors are now, yes. What they'll be with all five new guilds out? Not even a fortune teller can see!

To play against or to play as? What do you mean?

[Dudecore]

To play against. Because of {Thragtusk}. Thraggy+counterspells will be a trash environment. You can do it now with {hinderland harbor}, once {Breeding Pool} enters the mix

Edit: I've been brewing a Midrange {G}{U}{W} deck that is ready to explode with better mana fixing. I think the meta will almost instantly respond to this. Everything is going extreme aggro, because those decks get in before {Thragtusk}. Fast aggro decks like {B}{R} Zombies and Azorius Aggro are top 10ing more then ever. Once a good control deck with {Supreme Verdict}, {Terminus} and counters can control the board till {Thragtusk} hits will be monsters.

This is obviously pending a Thraggy hoser.

"We decided to reprint {Torpor orb}, sorry azurios!"

[Kaleo42]

First off simic will not have the same ability. However all new abilities are supposed to work well with the old ones, so it is sure to involve +1/+1 counters in some way. This also makes sense with undying currenty legal, a way to put a counter on an opponent's creature could be very powerful depending on the adjacent effects.

Dudecore, good foresight. I also anticipate some serious mill and combo decks to emerge with dimir and simic in the mix.

Finally on {thragtusk}. With that new dragon i excpect to see an anti thragtroll artifact. Perhaps like a differntly worded {pithing needle} or {torpor orb}. I can garuntee it will not shut down an entire RtR mechanic though.

[Dudecore]

{Nevermore} does it, I also expect an artifact similar to Nevermore, so that everyone has an answer to it.

By the same accord, they tried to hose {Snapcaster Mage} with {Grafdigger's Cage}, {Ash Zealot}, {Dryad Milliant}, {Rest jn Peace}, reprinting {Tormod's Crypt}, {Ground Seal}
