Probably Jarad because he seems the most playable of the bunch. The rest are 6 mana in what seems like a faster meta. They'll be fringe {Unburial Rites} targets, but they'll cost somewhere around Gisela

Is anyone else a grammar Nazi like me and bothered by the fact that it's "Rakdos's Return" and not "Rakdos' Return" like it should be?

YES

An otherwise awesome card spoiled by a small grammatical error.
Rakdos is his name, it's written right.

It's written Rakdos's. Its supposed to be Rakdos'

Only if it was refering to the guild, but it's refering to the demon lord guild leader named "rakdos" so the format is: NAME's so Rakdos's is correct but sounds wrong.

It's legit.  See "rule 2", it can go either way.

So we're both right.
LOL
I'd say you were wrong to say it was wrong. 😜

😓

Edit: Guess it just depends on how it was taught. I was always taught that the extra "s" wasn't needed if there was already an "s" at the end. That's how I teach it to my students. Learn something new everyday!

Christ why is grammar so complicate?
You like magic, but grammar's complexities get to you?

Grammar issues aside, how awesome is Rakdos's Return?

Yeah, and i think he's even better than the old one. Cool looking card, and great for commander
HOLY POOP!!

Great thing is, you can have each one in play for instawin.

Wait what ?!?! I'm confused on this ruling :(

I am thinking they will reprint {remand}.  There are no really great counterspells and this one has a draw back which I think WotC is doing a lot of lately....pretty much they are telling us no more free counterspells.  I just really hope they reprint it!!!

BlackJester

The old one lets you ping when you draw, the new one let's you draw when you ping. Draw a card and then you draw and ping until either they die or you run out of cards.
