It's a decent {Vesuva}, they're good friends to say the least

Vesuva copying a thespian stage is op.
That doesn't seem half bad, lol now you can play 12 {Wasteland}s!

See, the way around Aurrie's cost?
USA control :3 Mana cost means NOTHING XD
Yea you would eventually be able to play her, but in that type if deck you won't have many creatures, which limits Aurelia's utility. There are other, better cards to play as the game-ender for control. She's amazing if you could go {Hellrider}, {Thundermaw Hellkite}, Aurelia...but that's not really control, and In aggro if you have the first two aren't you winning anyway?

Edh,  {Kaalia of the Vast}

Dudecore

{Aurelia, the Warleader} will likely never see constructed, it's not the type of card constructed players look for. I may eat my words, but I'm pretty confident I won't.

It isn't cool enough to make it, {Isperia, Supreme Judge} gives card advantage (you know how good that is) and gets nearly 0 play. Aurelia is a similar thing. It will be in {Kaalia of the Vast} EDH decks.

I honestly can perceive of {Obzedat, Ghost Council} making it to competitive, {Skullcrack} because of Tempo and the Charms. Outside of that I don't see the {Dreadbore}, {Abrupt Decay}, {Supreme Verdict}, {Detention Sphere}, {Ultimate Price}, Charms and other RtR cards being equalled or bettered by GTC cards so far.

6 CMC isn't too bad. {Zealous Conscripts} sees play.

Dudecore

{Zealous Conscripts} is 5CMC, is splashible (costs only {R}) and swings games in sideboard. It has interaction with {Restoration Angel} (by flickering the stolen creature and making it yours).

Conversely {Aurelia, the Warleader} is not splashible, does not have turn 6 evasion (like {Thundermaw Hellkite}) and can be dealt with. I am not in love with the card.

Coffee Vampire

I understand your doubts about her, but I think tyat comparing her to isperia is too much. There are 3 kinds of creatures with effects

1) creatures that effect the board immediatly
-
2) creatures that need to tap or attack to take effect
-
3) creatures that do not take effect unless a requirement is met

Isperia is on the 3rd scale. Isperia doesn't even do stuff when it attacks...your opponent gets to wait until he or she draws removal or whatnot. A pretty bad creature. Only good against newer players who do not realize the value in drawing cards, and use {Sign in Blood} on you.

Aurelia is much much better. She falls in between 1 and 2. Yes she needs to tap to take effect, but she has haste. So as long as your opponent has no instant removal for her, she takes effect. And then you can stark blinking her and whatnot to just finish your opponent. I believe she would be decent in naya.

True she isn't as good as "when cast" creatures ({Kozilek, Butcher of Truth}) or ETB creatures ({Thragtusk}) in most situations, but I have a hunch you will be seeing her a lot more than you think in t2 constructed.

But the whole set isn't spoiled yet so anything we say here is not really certain.



Estel2931

I preordered 2 of her because of my Naya deck... Im thinking she will see play... Thats just a hunch though. I also got a playset of {Boros Charm} and a playset of {Signal the Clans}

Dudecore

I just see her as winmore. Only time will tell who wins this card evaluation. Until then, we've seen 44/52 rare cards. I'm not anticipating anything that to alter my opinion of this set so far.

I do like the EDH additions.

Coffee Vampire

If there are two cards that will for sure be good, it is boros charm and signal the clans. Good choices lol

Coffee Vampire

4 new cards spoiled! Two of them I will speak of (the notable ones).

Spark Trooper (or spark something):
1WWR
6/1
Lifelink Trample Haste
Sac at end step

...SO. Pretty cool.

Something Seer
4/4 flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, BOTH players pull a Bobster.

...Interesting.

For those who don't know: Bob = {Dark Confidant}.
