[ALA] Windwright Mage, Tezzeret the Seeker & Bull Cerodon

Tezzeret is the nuts.

Oh man Tezzeret is kind of disappointing, I'm sure he'll find a place with all of the artifacts though, and mono-blue too, wouldn't have guessed that. He's definiteley good but not what I was expecting.

Oh why does Tezzeret have to cost 5?

At 4, I am sure he would at least be attempted to be played...but 5? Hmmm...that last ability is nice, though.

I hope that's sarcasm...those are some insane abilities. Let's hear it for reusing Courier's Capsule (just one idea based on what little we have).

I personally like Bull Cerodon, although R/W already has so many powerful high cc cards (Casual Extended)

XiosIkon · 09-02-2008, 11:16 PM

So, with that wording on Tezzeret, your Artifact Creatures become 5/5s too, right? Or am I misreading this?

Desertwalk · 09-02-2008, 11:17 PM

I love Tezzeret's second ability. He should have costed 4, though.
The three colored common just sucks. The bull is very playable in limited.

Edit: Did anyone notice that Tezzeret turns Lotus Bloom into a Black Lotus?

LanexZihiro · 09-02-2008, 11:18 PM

I love Alara so much! It's shaping up to be a spectacular set. The Bull isn't fantastic, but a combination of Vigilance/Haste is really nice, especially in Limited.

Windwright Mage is pretty meh in my opinion; a 2/2 sometimes flying lifelinker for 3 colors seems pretty bad compared to say, the flying and haste on Skyknight Legionnaire. At least she is immune to Terror-effects.

Someone is going to break Tezzeret, I'm sure, ESPECIALLY if there is artifact mana-acceleration in the set (which we are in need of, since Time Spiral rotates soon).

How exactly would you reuse it, given that sacrificing it is part of the cost, and you wouldn't be able to untap it with Mr. T any how given that planeswalker abilities are sorcery speed.

AEIOUsometimesY · 09-02-2008, 11:19 PM

Oh wow...I just noticed now that Windwright Mage was a common. Kind of a letdown after that epic art was previewed. Tezzeret is basically a turn 5/6 win in non-affinity artifact builds with that third ability....so many possibilities

EDIT: My bad...I thought it reanimated artifacts

Blackening · 09-02-2008, 11:19 PM

Anyone notice how Windwright Mage is an Artifact Creature?

So the filligree is turning mages into more metal then human?

Chieftx · 09-02-2008, 11:19 PM

the cerodon is pretty meh.

tezzeret is really cool! You probobly won't use his final ability much considering the second is so awesome! could make a really cool artifact deck.

the mage.... I don't really know what to say,

the card looks really cool but
in realitly its a clunky version of mourning thrull

He gets Belcher once and Tormod's Crypt infi times. Can you think of any other RATIONAL use for him?

Possibly a Trinket Angel build (now topless) with Ruins/Mindslaver using him to first untap artifact lands and then go get Mindslaver?

Yes.

That beast looks like a beating in limited.

Tezzeret · 09-02-2008, 11:20 PM

Well, Tezzeret is completely different than I expected, both in color (I thought he would be multicolored) and in abilities. However, I'm really happy with the card because it's at least playable and I love artifact decks. It seems I've made a good decision with picking the account name...
