Dragon's Maze (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

[Wackaman9001]

Any idea who the leaders are? Also, weren't we supposed to get more commander decks?

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

No I think next is commanders top 20??

Or is it 10...

It's the commanders top "something"

I am, I am! Really hoping to see some actual decent Dimir cards. And I'm very curious about the champions.

It is real. I'll save my reservations until I actually play it. So far, it seems like a great equalizer vs. uncounterable control decks. The cost is a bit steep so we will see how it plays.

Split second judgement: Meh.

[Wackaman9001]

I think that card is breakable. Starting T3 you can effectively shut down your opponents deck, longer if you run recursion like {snapcaster Mage} and {archaeomancer}. At the least you can use it to slow them until you can set up. It gives Esper yet another threat, but at least it is counterable

I don't know if it will be used for that purpose. {Snapcaster Mage} is working his way out of decks, recursion is becoming less useful because of aggro is coming too fast and heavy. It may gain some tempo in the Esper decks? I want to play with it first. It looks like a halfway decent counter to stifle {Cavern of Souls} and Naya Human decks that pump out uncounterable creatures constantly. 3 mana puts too far from being effective early game - but not a horrible option after a board wipe.

I'd really like to just play test with it for some time, see how good it really is. I put it below {Dissipate} for now, but that is going to rotate eventually.

I'm not so sure I agree with the steep cost.  {Counterspell} for 2 blue and  {Silence} for 1 white, with it rolled all into one card I'd say they are being generous by not adding a colorless. It's not amazing, but it's still a 2fer1.

[Wackaman9001]

People playing 3 colors dislike needing 1 of a color and 2 of another to cast a spell. It's like {Boros reckoner} in orzhov, it essentially becomes {W}{W}{W}, not too easy to get immediately

I think this card will get some standard constructed play, but I think it's real value is in modern vs. storm decks.

Well.....,its not quite a 2fer1.  If it read like  {Clan Defiance} it would be very useful.  Like if it said, "counter target spell and/or target player can't cast spells this turn."
