[FS] Marshalling Cry & Lost Auramancers (Rumored)

[{mikeyG}]

Alright, so I was having my usual depressing supper of Campbell's vegetable soup (over the kitchen sink, naturally) when I dropped my bowl. First I was pissed that I ruined my supper by spilling it all in the sink, but then I noticed something. The letters that I normally turned into words like "ass" and "knob" had arranged themselves into complete sentences. And if I squinted, the little bits of corn kinda looked like symbols.

Totally freaked out, I wrote it all down .....

Marshalling Cry

Sorcery
Creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain vigilance until end of turn.
Cycling:
Flashback:
Common

Freaky huh?

Even scarier is that my substitute dinner (Alphabits cereal, also over the sink) slipped out of my hands too! But the cereal letters didn't fall into an arrangement of a cool Future Sight card. All I saw spelled out was "anus", which made me giggle. The scary part is that when the cereal splashed into the sink, it swirled around the remnants of my soup (what can I say, I live like a dirtbag) and the soup did rearrange itself into what looks like it could be another card. Let me know what you think:

Lost Auramancers

Creature - Human Wizard
Vanishing 3
When Lost Auramancers is put into a graveyard from play, if it had no time counters on it, you may search your library for an enchantment card and put it into play. If you do, shuffle your library.
3/3
Uncommon

Of course now I'm 0 for 2 on meals today and all I have to show for it are two cards that probably aren't even real. I mean, who believes what soup has to say, am I right? I'm really hungry, though. Please send me food. Or just comment on these possible cards if you'd rather just be selfish.

lost auramacer has break me written all over it. and i love the cycling//flashback combo. loving FS right now.

[binji_banji_man]

mmmm auramancer makes me smile, i think thats going to make or break alot of decks.. i feel combotastic decks in the side lines..


damn i love food that speaks to ya

[LittleDragon]

Yeah I agree GrassNinja, that lost dude is well mr broken and cycling and flashback together, wahhhhh, that is evil, but pretty good. Good find and nice story...

[Elvish_ruler]

Let the soup throwing begin! :P
I like the wannabe acadamy rector. The other one is kind of dissapointing. I hoped for a better cycling/flashback

[chaosof99]

holy frick, its fixed Academy Rector. Let's see if we can get this thing abused. Counterdecks that get Form of the Dragon into play from their library could be hard to kill.

The Cry is ok in limted

[rancored_elf]

Dude, there was an anus in your sink...

If these are real, the common will be junk and the auramancer is a slightly wonky Academy Rector...

Just think what patterns those little bits of corn might be arranged in TOMORROW night, eh? Better check your toilet bowl before you flush!

[Pharmalade]

Auramancers Hurrah! That makes me very glad indeed.

Lost Auramancers + Vesuvan Morph tricks + Obliterate effects - Cards in hand = Search your library for Barren Glory and win the game.

Also, it gets Debtors' Knell, Dovescape and other awesomeness.

And Marshalling Cry is wonderful. Card quality turn two, pump turn three, and if yes to either pump turn four. Turn six it's a cantrip. Turn seven it's +2/+2. Vigilance is nice too. A very nice limited card.

And of course, X's can look like +'s, misshapen B's can look like 3's, I's can look like /'s, and those little off bits can make punctuation happen better grammar Nazi's, so this is believable.

Good job!

Great story Mikey G! Had me laughing out loud.

I don't have much to say on these cards that hasn't been said already. But with all the solid enchantments in this block, the cheese stands alone, I can totally see this guy finding a nice home.

I love the theme of cycling/flashback so much. The card gives white weenie some much needed card filtering without loosing virtual card advantage.

[magac]

Cycling and Flashback........ not bad. It's ability is kinda inferior though, for a sorcery...... granted, it gives vigilance (which, indeed, works only on your turn anyway), but 3 mana global +1/+1 still loses to 2 mana +4/+4 global booster, IMO...

The Auramancer is blah.... it takes too much effort to use it, except using Vesuvan Shapeshifter to guarantee the creature having no time counter. Plus, 3/3 for 4 with vanishing 3 is so bloody weak..... But perhaps it could see a bit of use....

Oddly enough, that wasn't the first time.

And that wouldn't even be the strangest place we've been finding FS cards lately ......

If I crap out another card, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

I personally like the Cry, at least in Limited situations, pretty much for the reasons Pharmalade stated. It's very, very flexible, even if it doesn't look like it does a lot on its own. And it allows you to swing without leaving you open to an opposing counterattack. Solid little common. Not world-shattering, but solid.

The Auramancers may simply be a crappy Rector, but it's also uncommon, which is really nice to see. Especially when said uncommon can fetch some really awesome enchantments. I think it'd be awesome to see a strange Neo-Rector deck, though I doubt it'll happen outside casual.

You'd need some way to get out of cards AND perms. Greater Gargadon helps with the later, but the former? Add Ignorant Bliss? A 4 card combo...
I can't believe they balanced Rector. Although by wording it's worse since one of the things that made Rector good was the ability to act as Moat (attack? What if he blocks and gets a silver bullet?) and they couldn't remove him or they might as well commit suicide. Now you have to play it and wait 3 turns... and yep, can't attack or block with it because then you get nada!

[chaosof99]

hehe, Even in T2 there are some good Enchantments to hit:

Teferi's Moat
Form of the Dragon
Dovescape
Debtor's Knell

and Battle of Wits ^^

Nah, just run cheap spells and discard outlets. I'm looking at you, Lightning Axe and Simian Spirit Guide and who knows maybe even Fury of the Horde. Getting cards out of your hand shouldn't be a problem, and it'll be easy to have less than ten permanents to sack to Gargadon, and Fury Charm and/or Timecrafting make it easy to get the counters off the Auramancers. Easy Peasy, this deck is making itself.
