Favorite Card From Journey Into Nyx

[Condor-Wingman]

{Godsend} and {Ajani, Mentor of Heroes}

[FreddyFlash]

{Eidolon of Blossoms} is probably my favorite so far, though I've only played standard with my friend since the prerelease weekend (new work schedule = no FNM for a while).

Giving green reliable card draw can gets insanely scary insanely quickly. We've lovingly named the eidolon Joey btw. Anywho, he slapped together what's pretty much a green devotion to enchantments deck with a white splash for some fun and it's disgusting. Seriously. Hard casting a {worldspine worm} with ten or so mana left over, and getting to draw off almost any card he played? I'll have to get his actual deck list. You'd think {Dictate of Karmetra} would be a bad thing, helping your opponent as much as it helps you. At least that's what I thought. But he got second at FNM out of 30-odd people. Can't argue with results

I'd be interested in seeing that decklist. Sounds fun.

[DirtyMustachio]

{banishing light} that is all that needs be said

I'd be interested in seeing that decklist. Sounds fun.

He's out of town so I'm not 100% on the exact numbers, but what I remember was-

Font of fertility think 2
Elvish mystics 2?
Sylvan caryatid 4
Banishing Light 2?
Sesnya Charm 2?
Courser 3?
Eidolon of Blossums 4
Polukranos 2
Dictate of Karmetra 3
GW Ajani 2
Garruck 3
Arbor Colossus 3
Worldspine worm 2
Karmetra 1
Primeval Bounty 1
Heliod 1 but I think he's going to drop it.
24 lands, 4 of each GW dual and more forests than plains. And two Nyxthos too


I know I'm missing a few things in there but that's the general gist. That dictate isn't super crazy with Nyxthos but by the time he was really rolling it didn't matter. Garruck's more of a backup plan for the worldspines, coupled with even more potential card draw. And dropping the arbor colossus with a monstrous activation same turn happened a fair amount. IIRC he said the only thing he really had probs with were pack rats, but there are ways to sideboard for that.

The big surprise for me was that the dictate didn't end up hurting him, because most other decks weren't built to take advantage of it. So yeah, fun stuff all in all
