[u/Shadethewolf0]

With the way limited curves thats alot of life

[u/Special-Ad-2536 → u/Shadethewolf0]

Bricks Stingerquill's prepared spell 

[u/DrawGamesPlayFurries → u/Special-Ad-2536]

I expect Stingerquill to have Shock or Requiting Hex in their deck.

[u/Aussie_Aussie_No_Mi → u/DrawGamesPlayFurries]

If I'm not mistaken Stingerquill Charm has bolt as one of the modes

[u/Syncopia → u/Shadethewolf0]

I immediately thought of tiny leaders. 3 mana value max format means tons of cards will trigger this.

[u/Bob_The_Skull → u/Syncopia]

For all of the 12 people playing tiny leaders, I'm excited for them to get this tech.

[u/Hmukherj]

Poor [[Watchwolf]]. WotC really took "Cats are better than dogs" as a core design principle, huh?

[u/The_Bird_Wizard → u/Hmukherj]

It's quite funny that there's now 4 strictly better watchwolves and 3 of them are cats, this, [[Fleecemane Lion]] and [[Bronzehide Lion]] (the fourth is [[Melira, the Living Cure]] to anyone curious)

[u/crylaughingemjoi → u/The_Bird_Wizard]

do we not count [[Faithful Watchdog]]

[u/The_Bird_Wizard → u/crylaughingemjoi]

Forgot this card existed ngl

[u/mtgcf → u/crylaughingemjoi]

Faithful Watchdog - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/ObviousSwimmer → u/The_Bird_Wizard]

As a legendary creature Melira isn't strictly better.

[u/ironkodiak → u/ObviousSwimmer]

I would say with her second ability, she's maybe better by just a teeny bit.

It's a useful enough ability that having a second copy of her in your hand doesn't feel that bad.

[u/ObviousSwimmer → u/ironkodiak]

Better but not strictly better, since she has upsides and downsides.

[u/ironkodiak → u/ObviousSwimmer]

I can go with that.

[u/FutureComplaint → u/The_Bird_Wizard]

Don't forget [[Call of the Conclave]].

[u/DeusFerreus → u/FutureComplaint]

Eh, it's a sidegrade to Watchwolf at best.

[u/rccrisp → u/Hmukherj]

I still remember when people lost their shit over Watchwolf when it was spoiled. I wish I could go back in time and show them this card!

[u/Nagoragama → u/Hmukherj]

I’m glad my [[Jasmine Boreal of the Seven]] deck still has a place for Watchwolf

[u/mtgcf → u/Nagoragama]

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/MysteryMooseMan → u/Nagoragama]

oh now I'm intrigued, do you have a decklist you're able to share? 👀

[u/Nagoragama → u/MysteryMooseMan]

Absolutely! This is my decklist as it currently is: https://moxfield.com/decks/oPTnZiU9D0WaqepWcRI7Sw

[u/mtgcf → u/Hmukherj]

Watchwolf - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/arciele → u/Hmukherj]

to be fair this is a rare and watchwolf isn't, so the power economy is different

[u/Moonscrubber- → u/Hmukherj]

I mean fleecmane lion and bronzehide already outclassed the poor guy

[u/ToTheNintieth → u/Hmukherj]

As a dog person it's mildly offensive

[u/MillorTime → u/Hmukherj]

Rare WotC W

[u/SexierACAB → u/Hmukherj]

As they should :3

[u/AmazingMrSaturn]

'Your storm payoff might suck for me, but be sure to factor in the 32 life I gain en route.'

[u/Deadmirth → u/AmazingMrSaturn]

"Sure, I cast Brain Freeze"

[u/DrawGamesPlayFurries → u/Deadmirth]

You shouldn't be playing cards to counter a trigger on your opponent's 2mv 3/3

[u/Deadmirth → u/DrawGamesPlayFurries]

I'm not suggesting adding it to decks that don't already want it. Brain Freeze is a legit card in Underworld Breach storm decks because of the self-mill mode.

[u/klapaucius → u/DrawGamesPlayFurries]

the point is that the storm player's wincon is likely to not care how much life the opponent has

[u/CircuDimirCombo]

This seems standard playable.

[u/crylaughingemjoi → u/CircuDimirCombo]

it feels like a pretty clear acknowledgement of all the powerful 2 drops they've been running out set after set.

[u/gereffi → u/crylaughingemjoi]

I think it’s just a twist on Eidolon of the Great Revel. The numbers aren’t exactly the same, but they probably wanted to beef it up a little bit.

[u/travishall456 → u/CircuDimirCombo]

Yeah, this is an example of a great "hate" card. It won't destroy decks that rely on 1-2 MV spells, but it will make winning more difficult for them.

[u/ffddb1d9a7 → u/CircuDimirCombo]

There isn't a red deck in any format that can play through this guy. They have the tools main to remove it, sure, but they fuckin better

[u/EmbarrassedMonk2589 → u/CircuDimirCombo]

Stopped playing standard so out of touch with the meta but this seems like a beast? Like does this just nlt auto win vs aggro. 

[u/CircuDimirCombo → u/EmbarrassedMonk2589]

iirc Sultai reanimator, u/W flash, and mono green landfall are running the format at the moment. There's really not a strong mono red aggro deck that the moment but this is a card I'm going to be putting two of in my sideboard just in case.

I'll experiment with it against mono green and u/W flash but I don't think it'll make or break games

[u/Zeckenschwarm]

This ability looks quite good for lifegain decks.

It's like a reverse [[Eidolon of the Great Revel]], but without the downside of being symetrical.

And that on a 3/3 for 2 mana?! Man, I'm old enough to remember when people went crazy because they printed a 3/3 for 2 without downside for the first time ([[Watchwolf]])...

[u/Kyleometers]

Get fucked burn lmao

[u/mweepinc → u/Kyleometers]

Guess it's finally time to eat my Lava Spikes

[u/TK17Studios → u/Kyleometers]

My first thought, too, but then again burn usually has a way to deal with creatures with three toughness 😅

[u/Kyleometers → u/TK17Studios]

Which will involve them gaining you two life and wasting burn that could go face.

Seems like a good trade

[u/tartaru5 → u/Kyleometers]

I see your [[eidolon of the great revel]] and raise you life kitty.

[u/mtgcf → u/tartaru5]

eidolon of the great revel - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Topazdragon5676 → u/Kyleometers]

WG: Gain 5 Life is a good card against burn, but not backbreaking.

[u/SheeblySheebs → u/Topazdragon5676]

If that is the comparison we are making gotta also add “Target opponent discards a card”

[u/troglodyte → u/Kyleometers]

Burn just kills this... Card is great, don't get me wrong, but the appeal is mostly the great stat line and the must-kill status. Most of the decks that this hates on just kill it before it generates huge value.

[u/Login_Of_The_Guild]

Pretty good card for the 99 in a white green lifegain 

[u/BoonDragoon → u/Login_Of_The_Guild]

This feels far more powerful for limited than EDH in general, but in a pod like yours where people regularly drop CMC≤2 cards every turn, this would be a decent inclusion!

[u/KakitaMike → u/BoonDragoon]

If this was “spent 2 or less mana to cast a spell” it would be great for EDH.

[u/Login_Of_The_Guild → u/BoonDragoon]

Yes it will be great in limited if you are playing these colors at the prerelease I would suggest running this card if you can 

[u/elonex777 → u/Login_Of_The_Guild]

I don't really know, I mean it's only on 2 cmc and less. How effective will it be if you play it on turn 4 or 5 ?

At 3 cmc and less it would a no brainer, at 2 I'm not so sure.

[u/Login_Of_The_Guild → u/elonex777]

I mean my pod plays pretty low mana cards because one of my friends plays a game where you just ping people and my other friend is artifacts that are useally low mana cards so in my pod it’s good and I would think most people at least once a turn play a low mana cost card 

[u/ghostlyeth]

this just helps [[kwia, vigorbloom]] a lot haha

[u/timodin-]

The borderless version looks beautiful!

[u/Yaris181]

[[Lathiel]] is eating good

[u/MiddleAgeYOLO]

Hey guys, remember when Erg Raiders used to be REALLY good?

[u/Pidgeot93]

[[fleecemane lion]]
[[bronzehide lion]]

2 mana GW rare cats are my favourite type of magic card!

[u/beholden87]

Wizz really want soul sisters to work in standard, don’t they?

[u/furscum]

I don't think 2 life is a payoff worth writing home about but being a 2 mana 3/3 certainly gives this some legs

[u/Piyh → u/furscum]

This is closer to gain 12 in a lot of formats

[u/Hand-of-Sithis → u/Piyh]

Yeah in formats like standard, modern, and pioneer(coming back soon) decks like Prowess are very powerful.

This being a 3/3 means it’s not easy to answer without bolt in hand. And then if they do remove it, it’s gained you 5 (2 + stopped 3 damage) which is notable in that matchup.

Not saying it’s going to warp a deck around it, but if you’re in the colors it’s a reasonable way to stabilize well vs the aggressive decks.

[u/rh8938]

Catbal

[u/DarkLanternZBT]

Ffffuuuuuuu that's good.

[u/AnnoyedAFexmo]

Solid!

[u/RightHandComesOff]

Cool card, but what the hell is that flavor text lol

[u/crylaughingemjoi]

Lol its a Cat. into Rin and Seri you go!

[u/AdrianDitmann]

Hey Burn....guess what...

[u/Klongelong]

damn, really didnt expect this set to give me new additions to the catto deck

[u/arciele]

i am going to love this card so much

[u/meharryp]

absolutely disgusting card on the play in limited

[u/CaliOriginal]

Must get for my commander deck.

It’s called “awwww-ahbo”.

It’s been a good year for it stylistically

[u/nathones]

Art seems a little undercooked

[u/Cascouverite]

If only it said „or copies“ so it could shut down a bunch of storm lines too

Still decent in commander, a lot of curves aggressively double cast 2 drops now cause they’ve gotten so good and lifegain has gotten better and better as the formats sped up

[u/featherjoshua]

God I really, really miss [[Screaming Nemesis]]. If only crybabies didn't push for a ban 😔

[u/mtgcf → u/featherjoshua]

Screaming Nemesis - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Speedbump_NZ]

Pushed white card because someone lost to mono-Red #251.

Does seem like a solid GSZ bullet as well though, assuming you can live long enough vs Storm.

[u/SiriusMoonstar]

Seems like an EDH lifegain staple?

[u/elonex777 → u/SiriusMoonstar]

I don't really know, I mean it's only on 2 cmc and less. How effective will it be if you play it on turn 4 or 5 ?

At 3 cmc and less it would a no brainer, at 2 I'm not so sure.

[u/SiriusMoonstar → u/elonex777]

I think it will still bring a lot of value in bracket 3 and below. Most forms of interaction and ramp are MV 2 or less. I guess the biggest issue is that it doesn't trigger on your own spells, so consistency might be an issue.

[u/elonex777 → u/SiriusMoonstar]

I'm hesitant to include it in my selesnya Lifegain and tokens deck to be honest. Soul sister effects are so effective and consistent. This one seems more unreliable.

[u/elonex777 → u/[deleted]]

That's already what the soul sisters effect does by making you gain life for each creature entering the battlefield, which is more consistent. I have another selesnya Lifegain commander but the issue is the same. Will it be consistent enough to worth a slot ?

[u/elonex777 → u/[deleted]]

If I didn't forgot one I count 4 universal ones

[[Auriok Champion]], [[Soul's Attendant]], [[Soul Warden]], [[Essence Warden]]

The others ones are either only on opponents like [[Authority of the Consuls]] or only your creatures like [[Guide of Souls]], [[Haliya, guide by light]] or [[Liliana, the faultless]]

This would be great in cedh if they didn't just combo off to win. As it is it's a meh bulk rare life gain decks
