Worth noting that Atraxa's Fall doesn't transform your battles, so its main use is still to destroy your opponent's battles, unless you want to get your battle in the graveyard for permanent recursion interactions.

As I understood, battles only "transform" when they are defeated (lose all defense counters). Destroy, sacrifice or leaves the battlefield will not "transform" them...

If you have a 1-drop, you can get a 3/2 Halo Hopper out on turn 2. Not bad, and 3 damage will help take down battles faster.

Saiba Crypto is like a combat trick and a mana reducer (convoke) all in one. In other uses it can be sacrificed without batting an eye. It's a really good card.
@christianswigart2060 Жыл бұрын
It also has an advantage over a card like Shore Up in that it is an answer to edict effects such as Sheoldred or Invoke Despair if you are trying to protect a more important creature.
@randyrobineau2699 Жыл бұрын
It will have many uses, it's a good card design. Imagine if it had convoke slapped on to it as well. It would of been completely broken and banned in no time.
@EthanBeattie-wh4zx Жыл бұрын
Saiba Cryptomancer seems like it slots in well to a few decks for limited. It's nice in the +1/+1 counters deck, and a 2 mana guy that saves another guy sounds very good for the convoke deck
@macmusial3644 Жыл бұрын
There are actually more vigilant creatures in the set than usual I think because it combos with Convoke, there are 16 creatures that come with vigilance as a baseline in MOM according to a quick count I did on Scryfall and only 8 in ONE, plus the Knight tokens a bunch more cards make come with vigilance
@Chaconcito96 Жыл бұрын
For sure a surprising amount a creatures with vigilance, they did the same thing in Guilds of Rav with Selesnya when they had console. One of the reasons GW was powerful in that standard.

Cut short is pretty good with convoke around as well also if you out right destroy a battle without removing the counters it doesn't get cast

Those Red instant/ Flash cards are juicy IMO. Forget about Fire Prophecy in your Izzet Creativity Pioneer deck. Green based battles seems way more interesting suddenly. Pretty neat commons to be honest, though I've never thought that a crypto bro would be able to convoke my attention. Weird ;)

So does atraxas fall transform the battle when you destroy it? If so do all destroy target permanent effects transform a battle and how about exile target permanent effects when targeting a battle?

nope. a battle only transforms when it loses all its defense counters. use Atraxa's Fall on your opponents' battles that they play on you.

Describes what I've been feeling for a bit. So many of the cards are just weaker versions of cards that already exist and we're not really getting our money's worth. Would explain why they're including the lottery cards again. Can the game just crash and burn already so someone else can swoop in and do it the right way and make some original stuff for once in like 30 years besides the battle cards
