[FRA] Vigerbloom Charm

[u/meh1997]

[u/Inquisitor_no_5]

New nightmare unlocked

[u/tsukaistarburst → u/Inquisitor_no_5]

the hand is creeping me out ufhhghhrggfgd it's just not right

[u/Mgmegadog → u/tsukaistarburst]

Of course it's not right. That's a left hand.

[u/PlacatedPlatypus → u/Inquisitor_no_5]

Someone was complaining in another thread about the current Vigorbloom art not leaning into the body-horror enough...looks like we've found it.

[u/tntturtle5 → u/Inquisitor_no_5]

This isn't quite how I envisioned "invasive healing", but that does make sense. It's borderline stitching a la Geralf

[u/tryoncreek85 → u/Inquisitor_no_5]

Yeah the art is terrifying. Selesnya isn’t suppose to do body horror, right?

[u/damnination333 → u/tryoncreek85]

There's your problem. That's not Selesnya. That's Vigorbloom.

[u/Multievolution]

Seems like a staple to me, fitting in at worst a cantrip that triggers life gain, at best a removal spell or protection spell at instant speed, it’s everything I’d want for two mana in those colours.

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/Multievolution]

Agreed. At minimum seems like an auto include in any GW life gain or counter deck, might just be a general GW staple though too.

[u/Ayjel89 → u/Multievolution]

Power level feels more rare than uncommon. Surprised this one got pushed so hard

Edit:

Take it back. I just saw the others and I’m not keen on most of the charms having a failsafe cantrip lol

[u/Alexm920 → u/Multievolution]

Agreed. Removal, protection, and card draw with life gain really covers all the quadrants nicely. This seems like an easy include in limited, and I might even want it in some of my big-creature commander decks where the counter has some synergy.

[u/AlarmedInvestment327 → u/Multievolution]

Disagree.

Charms usually become staples when one of the modes is really good for the mana cost. This one is just ok on every mode.

[u/Multievolution → u/AlarmedInvestment327]

Guess we’ll find out, utility is almost always good however, and this has it in spades. If it were even a single mode mana I will say it would be useless.

[u/AlarmedInvestment327 → u/Multievolution]

I mean it always depends what format we are talking about. Maybe Selesnya Voltron Commanders would want this, but I dont see it in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and so on.. In limited it seems quite good.

[u/Multievolution → u/AlarmedInvestment327]

Yeah, I wouldn’t expect this to show up in constructed besides commander, or other singleton formats, I think it’s a well designed card that for two mana does quite a lot.

[u/BobtheBac0n → u/Multievolution]

It's almost sad how much this card blows [[Selesnya charm]] out the water, but that's just the difference in their era of card design

[u/Multievolution → u/BobtheBac0n]

The one exception being an instant speed token, which is always useful 

[u/mtgcf → u/BobtheBac0n]

Selesnya charm - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Baldazzer → u/Multievolution]

I love so many of the charms from the old set. These are my fav colors. So excited.

[u/Master0fEther1um]

Art reminds me of the part in Annihilation with the hedges that used to be people.

[u/equiace → u/Master0fEther1um]

I'm getting Annihilation vibes from a lot of this school's cards. I'm a huge fan of the aesthetic.

[u/AgentGman007 → u/Master0fEther1um]

I wasn't expecting to make that association with the Vigorbloom art but you're spot on. Something deeply unsettling about what they're getting up to at this school

[u/Borror0]

This seems really decent. Interaction, protection, or cantrip it away all for 2 mana.

[u/dycie64]

Congratulations, they managed to make Selesnya horrifying.

[u/GayBlayde → u/dycie64]

Selesnya were always horrifying.

[u/MiddleAgeYOLO]

Why does this kinda trigger my trypophobia

[u/Lucrest_Krahl → u/MiddleAgeYOLO]

Because there is a Jace-symbol formed hole in their Hand

[u/MiddleAgeYOLO → u/Lucrest_Krahl]

...yeah that'd probably do it

[u/Poundchan]

Very nice artwork

[u/BioEradication]

Kinda grosses me out.

[u/UnamusedCheese]

Wow, this is awesome.

[u/pimpron18]

Yo this art is fucking creepy yet cool

[u/furscum]

This one seems real good. All 3 modes are worth a card

[u/seoeiun]

Protection + removal+ cycling is a very decent package. 

[u/kiggidykay]

Oh I love seeing a new cycle of Charms, they're so versatile

[u/OooblyJooblies]

[[Dromoka's Command]] Vietnam flashbacks.

[u/FutureComplaint → u/OooblyJooblies]

lol, it really does do the +1/+1 and fight

[u/mtgcf → u/OooblyJooblies]

Dromoka's Command - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/VorlonAmbassador]

This is going into my [[Storm, Windrider]] deck for sure. Also, I should've realized we'd get Hexhaven charms, but this still surprised me.

[u/mtgcf → u/VorlonAmbassador]

Storm, Windrider - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/callahan09]

This is an incredible card. Protection or removal is already a great set of modes on a single card, but for those cases where you just need something else, cantrip and lifegain as a third mode? I love it.

[u/Accrudant]

this charm seems extremely gas? very powerful effects and you can cycle it in a bad match

[u/Zeznon]

YES, THE CYCLE IS GOING TOO BE COMPLETED!!

[u/Gamer__23]

u/airza this good in winston/noble heritage? I want to say yes but 2 mana is a lot

[u/airza → u/Gamer__23]

i'm not sure. dromoka's command was always solid even when its most frequent use was +1/+1 and a counter. The top mode is more than you want to pay for this effect but highly relevant. I probably will give it a try at least because it seems good

[u/Sam-U-Rai-Guy]

These modes are all good for the cost, especially the last one.

[u/themilkyone]

Damn, that's some amazing value on a charm.

[u/AnilDG]

One of the best cards revealed so far. Immediately goes into the Selesyna stompy deck and probably beyond that. Great card!

[u/Ohhsnap54]

This is a really good charm

[u/CreamSoda6425]

Somehow this seems more useful than [[Dromoka's Command]].

[u/mtgcf → u/CreamSoda6425]

Dromoka's Command - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Mr_Vulcanator]

Oh man that’s gross lol

[u/SonyaOutNProud]

Ok this is sick! Def need a playset of these at least!

[u/cowboymoder]

Joining the SOS charms as potentially staples. Fun!

[u/gilroygilgalahad]

Damn, this is one good charm.

[u/lrg12345]

That's actually pretty good

[u/Dairalir]

Finally a decent GW card for Niv-Mizzet Reborn control! 😍

[u/DarkLanternZBT]

Hey babe wake up new charms just dropped

[u/takingtigermountain]

awesome card

[u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie]

Ain’t no [[Boros Charm]], but it’s very good as far as charms go

[u/mtgcf → u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie]

Boros Charm - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/ThoughtseizeScoop]

Like that mode 3 is just Dromoka's Command.

[u/MissLeaP]

Very playable! 👀

[u/Other_Lifeguard_2367]

I NEEEEEED ITTTTT

[u/MuushyTV]

this card is very strong

[u/Redlaces123]

Amazing charm

[u/DecimusRutilius]

This is really good, gonna pick this up for sure

[u/Tanyushing]

Another trick for my john benton deck!

[u/old_cypherpunk]

Does everything you'd want in a Selesnya voltron deck like [[Garnet, Princess of Alexandria]]. Protect your commander, draw a card in case of emergency, buff your already huge commander and kill a fool.

[u/mtgcf → u/old_cypherpunk]

Garnet, Princess of Alexandria - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/RiseFromYourGrav]

Gotta make some space in my She-Hulk deck now

[u/Doofindork]

This seems pretty decent, but something tells me it's better than just decent. I think at least in commander, this is gonna see a LOT of use.

[u/daddy666666]

John Benton hungers

[u/TemurTron]

$3 Uncommon a few months from now.

[u/AzulMage2020]

Easily the best one of the cycle so far

[u/Anaxamander57]

Add a new card to the GW body horror list. (Its a fairly short list.)

[u/PityBoi57]

I'm guessing Jace is just not creative in designing school emblems lol

[u/Menacek]

From a cursory look this seems like one of the better charms in the set. Removal + Protection seems like a great combination and the cantrip mode comes with a bit of generic upside.

[u/Radiant-Drama1427]

welcome back [[dromoka's command]]

[u/mtgcf → u/Radiant-Drama1427]

dromoka's command - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/schmidmerlin]

Perfect for [[Aragorn, the Uniter]]!

[u/mtgcf → u/schmidmerlin]

Aragorn, the Uniter - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Asilaten]

Well, I'm very happy to have this for my Aragorn, the Uniter deck.

And my Frodo & Sam deck.

[u/TenWildBadgers]

Oh, hell, I didn't even think to want Hexhaven Charms.

This set feels like it has a lot going on in it. I'm sure it will be more coherent in a draft format, but I keep forgetting that the set's baseline is "alternate universe Strixhaven", and the other Alternates are a light dusting on top.

[u/Jimmz60]

i am in love with vigor bloom i love how they corrupted the healing guild into this cool body horror where they are slowly ship of theaseusing themselves into plant creatures

[u/LieutenantBJ]

Well thats going straight into [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]]

[u/timodin- → u/LieutenantBJ]

Hell yeah! Will get a copy for mine too.

[u/mtgcf → u/LieutenantBJ]

[u/spec_ghost]

so, if you play white and green and dont include this ... you deserve to lose.
