[ARB] Defiler of souls + Jenara, Asura of War

lord_of_obscurity · 04-12-2009, 11:06 PM

The defiler is in MaRo's article for today. Jenara is in Doug Beyer's article for today.

Discuss.

Why does Jenara look like a guy

NecroBlade · 04-12-2009, 11:09 PM

Jenara = Solid legend.

(Who does look like a guy.

)
Defiler = boring waste of good art.

Sakrafyce · 04-12-2009, 11:09 PM

That angel seems really good. Simple card, 3 mana for a 3/3 flyer that you can pump. Very nice.

manlymotley · 04-12-2009, 11:10 PM

Can anyone make out the card number for each of these? It's pretty blurry. I think that Jenara is 126, but I'm not sure.

How do these mythic rares fit into the numbering scheme as well?

Btw, both made my jaw drop.

Also, for Jenara:

T1: Forest, Noble Hierarch.
T2: Either Island or Plains, Jenara.
T3: Another land (at least one Plains by this point), 2 counters on Jenara, attack for 6.
T4: Rafiq of the Many, attack for 14. Good game.

I am just very angry about Jenara being mythic, though I suppose this makes sense with the legendary status.

Jasura seems playable in Dark Bant/Ziggurat Aggro as a 3 power flier for three that has late game value seems pretty strong. Not sure if its good enough to make the cut, but it definitely has potential.

On the other hand, the Defiler is kind of meh in a format filled with tons of tokens where his Abyss ability will rarely hit something good before he gets killed.

Caveman · 04-12-2009, 11:10 PM

they seem....alright i guess. at least the 3cc 3/3 isnt that bad

MakoEyesX · 04-12-2009, 11:11 PM

Jenara is absolutely insane and is sure to have a place alongside all those Rafiqs in standard.

NecroBlade · 04-12-2009, 11:11 PM

I got it. S/he looks like a guy because Jenara = Generic!

Chieftx · 04-12-2009, 11:12 PM

To be honest, those are both, rather boring cards for mythics.

the angel is nice, definitely worth testing but not fantastic. The art on the Demon is fantastic, but with so much multicolor around, his ability is pretty weak.

@ iRebel: Save the image from the article and then upload it back onto the post when you go to "manage attachments"

I actually like the Demon guy since he does have a potentially very punishing effect, but I just hope there aren't TOO many mythics.

Seth Dracovitch · 04-12-2009, 11:13 PM

Ok so Jenara in my opinion not as good as i thought she would be, that should NOT be Mythic, she should be rare like the two legends in Conflux.

However the Defiler I love... I've built decks that were solid gold before and he is screaming for me to do it again... oh we shall see... we shall.

kaijia · 04-12-2009, 11:13 PM

The angel is just insane.

Defiler of Souls maybe good in the right deck, against the right opponent.

plaguezombie · 04-12-2009, 11:13 PM

Heh, Jenara puts your opponent on a 4 turn clock once it's out if you hierarch turn 1, then play it turn 2 ^^

I like the other guy, because he's cute and will be able to do a lot come prerelease day.

I already know 5 color is going to probably be huge for limited that day, should be one of the best prereleases ever ^^
