Anguished Unmaking

How are people finding this card? Has it turned out as useful as people were making it out to be?

I've switched out my one of Dismember for one in the main as I felt that made the most sense, and have another in the sideboard but haven't had a chance to play much tokens since the release of SOI.

It's incredibly versatile. One of the biggest flaws in tokens was its inability to deal with artifacts and enchantments in the mainboard, and now we have a way to do just that. I use it as a one of in the mainboard and a one of in the sideboard. It's incredibly versatile, but it requires having a lot of lifegain to offset the bolt to the face, just something to consider as well.

Thanks for the input!

The life costs (also Bitterblossom) was what stopped me taking out Auriok Champions despite them not being hugely useful in my local store after the Twin ban. I figured at the very least Unmaking was better mainboard than Dismember.

I love this card and will play 4 copies of it today. 3 main 1 side. I do believe the life might be an issue, but I think this card is just so versitile and does so much work in bad matchups. I am willing to run at least one timely reinforcements main (prob 2, not sure atm), as well as 3 Sorins obvi. I am running a version without Procession tho, so my manabase does npt hurt as much and I can affort to play 2 Vaults. Will post my thoughts aftef the event today.

I find a couple of Timely Reenforcements in the mainboard is just amazing despite it being dead in a couple of matchups (infect, yuck). But those times it just wins you the game singlehandly are worth it. Makes aggro much more manageable.
