Magic: Origins (Speculation and Spoilers)

[Kaalia with haste]

He's a new commander for that oblivion ring tribal EDH deck.

[LinkCelestrial]

If he prevented the damage we'd be in buisness.

this!!!

imagine if he flashed in to prevent damage and p/t was = damage prevented THEN we would have a beast

you attack with how many sliver/elf/infinite bullshit? cool, this dude, have a nice day

Sitting in the command zone like "come at me bro."  Would be a badass card.

[LinkCelestrial]

Hell, even if it was just

2GW
2/2
flash
When it enters, prevent all combat damage that would be felt this turn


I'd play him

Me too probably.

[rarehuntertay]

That Liliana though.... So going into my Alesha TL

[griffin131]

I mean seems bad to me but I just hate paying 5 mana for stuff that isn't card draw lol

Plus Spear of Heliod is similar and it doesn't see play

Spear taps to destroy one creature and has to target...

Bye bye splinter twin's friends. (If they're smart they won't attack with the original.

I'm not sure what to react on, but {splinter twin}?
The guy is legendary.
Oh, w8 nvm... Twin can actually copy legendaries.

However, state based actions being checked before you get priority, would his etb even trigger?

Yes. He has to enter the battlefield for the state based action to even occur.

The fact that state based actions are checked and may change things does not mean the game won't see the necessary conditions met for a trigger and then let the player trigger them. A player can't put those triggers on to the stack until he or she next receives priority but the trigger isnt negated by state based actions changing the boardstate. Both players can have triggers waiting to go on the stack while state based actions are happening.

Tx for clearing it up.

What I meant was, if he had a built in fog and became as big as the number of creatures he exiled, he'd be good against splinter twin decks. Not to splinter twin himself.

[blackychan1]

If he just fogged he'd be instantly playable. like if it was "exile any number of attacking creatures"...except he woukd be a cheaper version of that angel yhat foes it. {angel of the dire hour} or whatevs

That's dirty....

[Thetrufflehunter]
