@evouga It's blue. So not completely dead.

I'm doubtful on this one too, but it might make slightly lower power creatures more viable, and therefor let you play slightly more low-to-the-ground, castable creatures because when you get them in play they will be a much greater statistical threat with this floating around in your deck. Yeah, Titans for example. Exactly.
Is that slower, grindier way of playing Oath actually better? Unclear.

What happens If we put this in Landstill? Copy Snappy? Copy Factory? Copy Champion of Wits? Is that good enough value?

What happens if we put 1 in Survival Salad? Is it garbo (probably) or a late game backbreaker that becomes an extra Vengevine you cast from the graveyard?

@brandawri ha. I reread it in that voice and you are so right.

@yakuzaxrock you know... I played an intuitive sacrifice against the former world champ... no big deal.

There is always a bigger dragon round the next bend.

@fsecco I do think he fights with Jace, since they do such similar things. I agree he fights with Teferi. I also think he pretty clearly loses both, since he pretty clearly would cause the existing archetype to lose more games against the field if you replaced a Jace or Teferi with him.

If anything, this thread (which I think is generally pretty great) reminds me that cards are, in essence, always ultimately evaluated in terms of whether they cause winning. If they don't, they just don't get played. It seems to me that is the best way to theorize too - would this thing cause a deck to win more often? Stuff like, is it better than x card, or what is its "power level" is fine. I suppose these are generally an effort to answer that question, but it seems to me these often misse the true question.

@chubbyrain Misusing commas, is, irresponsible regard,less of intent. How dare you sir,

@wfain I guess I'm underrating how big a threat it is.

@wfain Aren't we running cavern?

I wonder why people don't include Eidolon of the Great Revel in this analysis. Jeskai Spirits seems at least testable. I would think against Xerox and Paradoxical, Eidolon would be pretty difficult to beat. Kira, the great glass spinner comes in against Xerox. Extra Katakis come in against shops?

@chubbyrain So do leftovers.
