Totally agree on Glorious Protector. Blink chain shenanigans are the obvious application but even just on the level of COMPLETELY eating boardwipe effects (EVEN EXTINCTION EVENT?!), even on the level of having two relevant creature types, the card is just so gravy in so many different strategies. I don't blame you for saying "unbelievable" so much because it really does beggar belief how many cards in this set will define formats & give more decks more tools to FIGHT those format-defining cards too.

Talking from the future, it could be interesting to see Glorious Protector combined with Telportation Circle. Every turn you could go ahead and re-protect new things, or get things that you hadn't protected out of protection. Or, you could rely on it to basically act as the big Teleportation Circle. So Teleportation Circle blinks Glorious Protector and then you can use it to blink everything else (even if there is a delay to it). You could easily run it in a cleric deck that doesn't feature many (or any) angels in it to make sure you are able to protect things reliably while also getting a ton of extra value from things like Skyclave Apparition, for instance. Still, overall, I think you ended up overvaluing the flash status of Glorious Protector and Sigrid. Had GP been able to be foretold for 2 instead of 3, I think that would have made it a LOT better. Holding up two mana isn't too much of an ask, but holding up 3 mana is going to slow most decks down a lot.

@LeetMasterAce3 жыл бұрын
@@PZcryptic1 Are you joking? Control has always been the most oppressive and obnoxious strategy in the game. Midrange has fallen out of favor HARDCORE for years now. Aggro got a major boost with Embercleave, but you can't deny that without Embercleave, most aggro would be unplayable in the current meta anyway. Add to that that during half of Embercleave's existence, control had 3feri, which was like a t3 win condition for Control players. Also note: creatures get "everything stapled to them" and are still barely playable. People hardly play Elder Gargaroth, for instance, because it's actual trash against control despite having "everything stapled to it."
