NWO only effects what can be printed at common. There isn't really an excuse for other things.

I think beck is meant for modern elves. Not much use in t2 but for sure a great addition to a combo deck.

Man, the more I look at Ral, the more I realize that he is not very good in control and off color for aggro. I've kinda forgotten what he's good for...

Haha I do want to get him just to ult once in a game and then throw him back in a binder.

Also, just thought I might add,  {Beck // Call} is a terrible card. 3 colour 8 mana to draw 4 cards and make 4 falcons at sorcery speed is just awful.
I'd rather just revel for 5.
you can put the card in an all {G}{U} and ignore call. Beck has some excellent combo potential. It's basicly a {glimpse of nature} which is on the banned list for modern

Personally I think they bit off more than they could chew with Dragon's Maze. It almost feels like they just rushed getting the set done.

Coffee Vampire

Yeah not close to glimpse, but often better. For instance:

It counts opponent's creatures
It counts tokens
It triggers on ETB instead of cast, allowing you to stack triggers

Neids

I pulled him at prerelease but didn't play him there and I made a deck with krenko and him in a goblin izzet deck haven't got his ultimate but at one point I had 45 1/1 goblins on the battlefield and my opponent conceded

{intruder alarm} makes an infinite combo with krenko

The ETB requires resolution, ehh, it's decent.

I used his ultimate last night, got 4 extra turns. Cast {Aurelia, the Warleader}, swing for game. Pretty nasty. I tapped down all of his mana on each extra turn, so I basically couldn't lose.

Do we get a decklist?
