[LOR] Colfenor's Plans and more...

[salomar]

Hi guys! Just found out about a few cards. 3 commons and 1 rare.

Spoiler:

Zephyr Net —
Enchantment – Aura
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature has defender and flying.
COMMON
?/301

A sort of blue removal spell, although you can hardly call it removal. I’d rather have Propaganda than this. You also rather bounce a creature I guess…It would be cool if you could swap it onto other creatures (like Detainment Spell). In a rare case you can also pop it onto one of your own creatures if you’re in need of a good flying defender… Doubt this will see play though.

Spoiler:

Triclopean Sight —
Enchantment – Aura
Enchant creature
When Triclopean Sight comes into play, untap enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has vigilance.
COMMON
?/301

Looks like there is a cycle of 2 mana costing Auras? At least this one is somewhat better than the blue one. Should’ve had Flash to make it worthwhile in my opinion. This card is especially nice on creatures with activated abilities, like Goldmeadow Harrier for instance.

Spoiler:

Glimmerdust Nap —
Enchantment – Aura
Enchant tapped creature
Enchanted creature doesn’t untap during its controller’s untap step.
COMMON
?/301

Kinda reminds me of Dream Leash, but I guess that’s because of the tapped clause in it. Reasonably decent card in limited.

Spoiler:

Colfenor’s Plans —
Enchantment
When Colfenor’s Plans comes into play, remove the top seven cards of your library from the game face down.
You may look at and play cards removed form the game with Colfenor’s Plans.
Skip your draw step.
You can’t play more than one spell each turn.
RARE
?/301

Twist on Necropotence and similar cards they have printed. Also reminds me of Desperate Research. Not sure what to think of it.
Wonder who Colfenor is though... Maybe a planeswalker we'll see in Morningtide? I haven't read the book, so maybe someone can enlighten us!

Stay tuned for more goodies soon! Enjoy .

EDIT: Added face down.

Hm... Colfenor's Plans is interesting. It's basically a draw 7 spell, but it carries some hefty drawbacks.

[The Mad Tapper]

Plans is interesting. Very dangerous (to yourself, I mean) if you don't have a way to get rid of it. Very powerful either way. I find myself wanting to find a way to break it.

[spuzzem king]

wow, theres some good there gotta say, plans + jace is one heck of an engine, might just be playable

[metamorph]

the black enchantment is interesting. its very dangerous if you don't have a way of getting rid of it. hopefully you'll just be able to win before that becomes an issue (since you basically just drew 7 cards for 4 mana) but there's a real risk of getting totally locked out. The one spell per turn clause is also kind of a bummer, it makes this card rather poor against blue control decks.

As it should. The question is, is it usable? The 1-spell-per-turn bit is annoying for sure.

[Shiri]

Eh...4-mana, draw 7 but never draw again, and you can't do storm combo or rituals of any kind with it. Don't think it's going to be that productive.

[Xyl]

I bet you're missing "face down" there...

Conlfenor's Plans is interesting. You get to skip seven draw steps ahead, but you give up all your draws after that. The real trick is getting rid of it at the right time to get your draw step back. A blue bounce spell would work wonderfully.

[adeyke]

Are the cards removed from the game face-up or face-down? With the given wording, they'd be face-up (since it doesn't specify otherwise), but then the "look at" part doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing a "face-down" is missing.

Sarnath'd.

[Singer of White Line]

Colfenor is a legendary Treefolk. Its plans remind me of Parallel Thoughts for some reason Oo

And I like Triclopean Sight ^^ More Merrow goodness!

[Radical Serbian]

i really like how Colfenor's Plans looks. With the new black clash draw card and the zombie muse from tenth, i think we could see this being very efficient and powerful. Just run it and rule of law to shut your opponet down to one spell a trun and its all gravy

I designed a very similar card for FCC , it's a good design because you can't draw 7 then destroy it as they are removed from game. You can't play it in combo as 1 per turn rules that out.
It will likely never see play but it's a nice design.
Possibly in black control if it get's a replacement for arena/confidant.

[ockham]

Hmmm interesting. The merrow is most interesting. BUT then I traded a necro for... a white knight back in the day. Suicide Black was never my thing - can't play it. Can get beaten by it though

Nothing amazing in this lot.

[weeeee]

Question about memory. Let's say you slide it out and back in with the new card Oblivion Ring. Does it remember the first 7 cards it removes? Or does that line "You may look at and play cards removed form the game with Colfenor’s Plans." allows it to remember?

[Old_SchoolMTG]

I hear drawing 7 cards for 4 is some good.

But then I also hear that not drawing is some bad.
And only playing one spell per turn is some badder (Rule of Law taught me that...d'oh!).

If it didn't have those restrictions...or heck..maybe only one of those restrictions...it may be playable...or worse..broken. But having both of those makes it very........interesting.
