Jace will see casual and maybe EDH. You get nearly no value out of him in constructed, and even limited, if you open a pack and find him? Ehhh...might pass

I really like the golgari PW but I gotta say 40$ for it Pre RTR drop isn't worth it. She'll be around 20$ before you know it.

Thank goodness she has 1 {B} in her casting cost

And +1 for {liliana of the veil} comment. People were probably say OMFGLOLWIZARDSMAKESBROKENPWAGAIN

^in reference to ultimate.

Dudecore

I don't think too many people saw Liliana as broken, they were probably excited. I didn't like new {Liliana of the Dark Realms} and still don't. This new PW looks truly powerful. She can protect herself, she has a usable ability worthy of being a card itself, and an ultimate that is worth achieving.

Not comparing her to {Jace, the Mind Sculptor} but he's so OP because he has infinite {Brainstorm} and a -1 {unsummon}. He's playable beyond belief.

This new creature has a decent, albeit not game changing +1. Starts with 5 loyalty and can -3 and destroy any non-land permanent, including another PW. The only drawback is mana cost.

Coffee Vampire

Along the same lines as the liliana comment: I agree, and also she seems to be like the new ajani in that her ultimate pumps out a number of creatures that either win you the game next turn or die and do not win you the game.

Just like ajani, little miss medusa will sit around 20 in due time.

I was really hoping the planeswalker would be selesnya. 😔😭

But this one looks insane. I might go golgari at prerelease for her.

I can see {G}/{B}/{W} tokens being fairly strong with populate, this walker, {sorin, lord of innistrad}, {innagible virtue}, {lingering souls}, and the golgari guildmage.

Also white has that new populate function...that new G/W guy that has p/t equal to creatures in play and populates when dealing damage to an opponent would be great in your deck idea

There's a new RtR creature that does the doubling counter thing. I'm sure it's straight green but I just thought it'd work well will scavenge but like Black jester first said with the planeswalker counters, get 10 loyalty and get those assassins out ASAP!

It won't affect the PW cuz the card says when a creature enters the battlefield.

BlackJester

Yep. Here, {Doubling Season} is THA SAUCE!

Dudecore

They're better reprint an artifact similar to {Ratchet Bomb}, because things are gonna get crazy quickly.

BlackJester

I'm sure most guilds will have their own answers to the threats of other guilds.

I'm gonna go with jund{B}{G}{R} myself. The new troll and PW, nighthawk, zombies, and bonfire. What's not to like about that.
