Dragons of Tarkir (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

[MuggyWuggy]

$8 preorders for shaman of meh (Carytid is better)
$8 AZ cryptic

Both doubled in price tody since announced this AM

[DirtyMustachio]

Is he going to be nuts to!?

[MuggyWuggy]

I'm personally not a fan of him, he won't be allowed in EDH (biorhythm is banned, so by that logic they would ban him too)

3 mana for a 2/3 double mana dork seems good for a t1elf deck, but everything else just seems like there are better options. Sure you get two mana, but for the 3 slot, unless you are gr monsters, i would think most would prefer courser

Where do you guys see the cryptics value at??

[MuggyWuggy]

Scg preorder for dragons of tarkir

Not actual cryptic command, but a card very similar that has been previewed

Going to have to agree. He'd be sick in EDH but he will be banned. He's not going to see too much standard play with {Sylvan Caryatid}, {Rattleclaw Mystic} and {Whisperer of the Wilds} clamouring for your non {Elvish Mystic} mana dork slots. If it wasn't creature only he'd be quite a bit better.

I'm actually not sure he'll be banned in edh. Biorhythm is good because {wrath of god} into it, which you can't do with him. (Unless I'm missing a janky combo)

{Darksteel Plate}, ect ect.

[MuggyWuggy]

Nah he will be broken, every EDH deck runs wipes and swiftboots

Wipe

Drop guy
Boots
Tap and win game

It just makes no sense of why they would allow a biorhythm creature and not biorhythm.

[MuggyWuggy]

Then simic would be amazing in EDH

Cyc rift
Play his ability.

I dunno about him still, he just seems suiuuuuuper janky. Perhaps the next blocks will make more sense with him

[MacheteMable]

I think you people are nuts on the command hype train. It's "good" but not great

[MuggyWuggy]

It's definitely getting its hype, was considering preordering at $4 and now they are $8 each with 10 left on scg as of 122pm PST. Pretty sure these will keep rising, then neutralizing blast will become a thing

If you have 8 power on the board, can rift AND use his ability on the same turn, you deserve to win.

Not hard in UG

they'll rise till people realize they're not as good as they hoped. Then they'll crash.

This one is a lot like the non-cryptic commands from lorwyn.

I really wanna see the ub one though.

Kruphix would be ridiculous.

I'm not sure why they're so expensive, but for UW Control I haven't heard an argument against the card that I agree with--it's an automatic 2-of, no questions asked. It's my favorite card spoiled BY FAR.

Still, a 2-of in a Tier 2 standard deck won't support an $8 price tag for long. Unless UW Control gets really big or someone figures out a way to make this work in modern, my guess is this card will settle in around $2-3.

The {Snapcaster Mage} synergies are pretty sweet. But agreed.
