I think there’s actually less Dino centric cards than either previous Ixalan set. I may have made a spreadsheet. You really feel it in Dinos absence from white and white color pairs.

Bartolomé would make an interesting voltron/aristocrat commander. Basically build your board with the typical voltron equipment, a bunch of tokens, and at least one haste enabler. Slam Barty, suit up, swing in, and sac tokens until P=21. Hes cheap enough that even if a player removes him, rinse repeat

Deeproot Pilgrimage seems like it really wants you to be taking turns off to make a bunch of tokens that you ACTUALLY attack with the next turn. Super easy to do that with the card, at least, any vehicle with Crew 1 essentially turns any nontoken Merfolk into a Bitterblossom.

Maybe Skullspore Nexus goes in the Fight Rigging deck? You get it out cheap, and if your overstatted meatheads die, they upgrade into equally big creatures but without the drawbacks.

With Brass' Tunnel Grinder you can just do a play pattern of Turn You Play Tunnel Grinder - Wheel your hand, hopefully hit another tunnel grinder Next Turn - Play second tunnel grinder you got from wheeling, send the new one to the graveyard (hitting descend), wheel your hand again. Next Turn - Play third tunnel grinder you got from wheeling, send the new one to the graveyard (hitting descend), profit

I was lucky enough to play with Anim Pakal in both of my prereleases, and she's really more like a 3/4 than a 1/2, even with no synergy. Play her, attack with your 2-drop, she gets +1/+1, attack next turn, she gets another +1/+1. That's while putting three 1/1's on the board as well. The card is probably too fragile for constructed, but it does demand an answer and leaves behind (*artifact creature*) tokens if answered at sorcery speed. The card is probably only okay to have in the format at all because the answers are so good -- she runs away with the game VERY quickly if unanswered, at only 3 mana, while often putting value on board tapped and swinging on the turn she comes down.

This isn't even a rickety combo. It's not a huge setback to have a spell countered. I'm sure it won't be a new competitive deck but it's pretty lol

I played against several pre-release decks this weekend, and one thing I found was that Dracosaur has been "enter the battlefield" crept out of existence. Every time I would see someone play him, or would play him myself, the other side of the table would basically immediately remove it. Yes it runs away with the game if you can't remove it, but because it has no effect when it enters the battlefield, removal is too strong against it
@tinfoilslacks3750
@tinfoilslacks3750 7 ай бұрын
Blame FIRE design. Removal became way too efficient over time to the point that creatures don't stick for longer than a turn. This meant creatures all had to have enter the battlefield effects to be worth playing. This would have caused 1 for 1 removal to become unviable and for most gameplay to become ETB creatures being thrown at each other, which in turn meant that creatures had to have both up front value in the form of ETBs *and* continuous value in the form of on board effects so it was still necessary to remove them. There's a reason that the best deck in modern is a bunch of ETB creatures and all of the actual spells are ways of recurring or cheating those creatures.
