Savor The Moment is disgusting! Also, it's nice to have confirmation on the Knight... for the non-believers that is. .

What a Pity! Runes of the deus is so overcosted.

boggart ram-ram makes me to build my old MGA again.. Why not RDW?

but, hey! Look at the Flying Knight 3/3 that doesn't let creatures with counters attack or block? aside from his neat ability,

I can see a casual Knights deck coming

Haakon, Kinsbaile Doublestriker, all those lieges... etc, etc, etc... too many knights!

LSK · 04-11-2008, 05:27 PM

Well, they seem real enough.

**spiderboy4** · 04-11-2008, 05:28 PM

cool, just wish there was a better resolution for the cards.

I like savior the moment, seems to fit in with the untap shinannigans..

Vadskye · 04-11-2008, 05:28 PM

Wow, that's quite a creative drawback on Savor the Moment. I love it. I suspect this will see quite a bit of play - turn three, it's cantrip mana acceleration. If you play it with a creature, it would effectively give that creature haste. It's great with Vigilance or Q, if you have mana to use Q...

You know.. I was thinking the exact same thing, weird as I was considering these guys for RDW, and as far as I can tell a 3/3 for 3 with haste & wither is a very fine deal.

Overcosted cause on most red/green creatures it will be the death of someone in one swing.

Ram-Gang and Kulrath Knight are quite strong beaters.

Runes of the Deus (again with the deus...) seems a bit expensive but also damn painful.

Savor the Moment, seems bloody great design and possibly broken in some format.

I designed that card! Only it was

less and it didn't work as well in multiplayer.

Hot.

I also like the white untapper. Seems most likely it will be used during your opponent's turn. Solid limited card.

ZetaZeta · 04-11-2008, 05:30 PM

Yeah, I was hoping "~of the Deus" to be 2C with 2 effects... Still, +2/+2 double strike trample pretty much ensures the Deus blows up a land (boring) or whatever creature it enchants seriously beats face. Maybe it will go into a 5-color EDH deck I'm currently designing. <_< (Reaper King. :P) You're still paying 5 mana for an aura, which I don't really like.
The "Time Walk" seems interesting. It's not a pure Time Walk, since a lot of the times the whole point is the tempo increase from the additional untap step? (maybe I'm wrong).

It's more like a cantrip relentless assault variant that gives your creature haste, but doesn't untap tapped ones (which again, defeats the purpose), and lets you double dip on upkeep triggers and drop a land. It *is* a relentless assault in a deck with Merrow Commerce (but that card sucks anyway). =S

It's more like useless right? you can play another land and draw another card trigger another upkeep but that's about it.

Gaming Report is pretty reliable. They are a gaming business blog, just as much as anything. They mostly focus on retail type moves and when a big gaming company does something big on the business end. I'm a bit shocked they had something though... they aren't in the realm of spoilers.

Kulrath Knight my Vote for the Best Artwork and maybe incredile good in Limited and/or block ^^.... i love it.... doesn´t know where i can play this fantastic artwork...but i will own aplayset and maybe ...some day... i have an idea ^^

Phylar · 04-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Runes of the Dues is broken in limited. That's like an instant kill. Let's see... in the example of the 3/3 wither guy, he becomes a 5/5 doublestriking trampler. And this is common. That's ********.

Monopoman · 04-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Only cards I really like out of this batch are Savor the Moment as stated extremely insane potential there.

The R/G enchantment is nice double strike+trample on the same card +2/+2 is the holy grail of abilities. It may not be insane good and make it into constructed but in limited I don't see many reasons not to run it if you got a lot of r/g guys.

Some of the wither stuff is fairly nice they obviously were a bit wary on making it too cheap so thus the extra mana on each one.
