For some reason, the Dimir Charm is probably the best charm imo.
[/quote]

Only because of how much a Dimir fanboy you are :o It's interesting, but certainly not the most playble charm so far.

Stolen Identity copying artifacts is really interesting.

I mean, Mind Grind is by far the best card spoiled here. It's the Dimir version of Revelation. Esper Control should run both Revelation and Mind Grind as win cons.

A lot of decks in both standard and modern play very, very few sorceries.

So does every other kill spell, more reliably.

Don't even compare it to Brainstorm.


In standard, at least, it deals with Rakdos's Return, Bonfire of the Damned, half a Lingering Souls, Farseek, Dreadbore

It kills mana dorks and Silverblade Paladin.

Can fateseal and opponent in the lategame.


It's not applicable in modern. Cards like Esper Charm, Izzet Charm, Path to Exile, the like, all exist.

Oh comeon, it is good!
It counters sorcerys. Need I explain? I don't want to.
It destroys things like Bob.
It is also a brainstorm.

Izzet Charm.
It counters sorceries, instants, enchantments and artifacts.
It deals 2 damage to creatures, either doing the same thing or making it easier to attack into them.
It is a draw engine.

It also kills Vampire Nighthawk. Stops a farkseek, which is arguably one of the best cards in the format with Shocklands. It is a hard counter for them.
This is an instant brainstorm that doesn't draw, but puts it on the top of your deck. [quote name='Kevin the Bird' timestamp='1357582027' post='6114279']

This counters sorceries, a hard counter. It isn't stoppable unless you counter it, which no one would anyways.
This would destroy them if they are lower. It can stop Infect, an early game Tarmogoyf.
It is a draw engine as well, with digging into your deck, not decreasing your hand.

Stop calling it a draw engine, or a brainstorm, or anything like that. It's actively giving you card disadvantage, and not in the way that Izzet Charm at least gives you 2 extra cards to work with immediately.

Countering Sorceries means next to nothing. I already mentioned Farseek, but that's the best thing it counters in standard.

Oh and next to no decks even run Nighthawk right now. Yay!


Hard counters aren't necessary in modern. The pay 2 clause on Izzet Charm is practically enough to always be a hard counter when you need it to be, and Izzet Charm has better modes as a whole, while not being as restrictive. Again, nearly no deck in modern plays sorceries.

Every other removal spell deals with Goyf much more reliably. Infect just pumps their guy in response and you 1-for-1 their spell. Not to mention against mono black infect it can't even try to deal with Vatmother.

It doesn't draw anything though. =/

Izzet Charm is either a hard counter or prevents any more actions :/
So would Izzet Charm.
That's pretty much what Izzet Charm does.

Nighthawk is a popular sideboard card for aggro matchups.

But yea, Dimir Charm isn't that good. It isn't bad by any means, but the GW, RU and WU charms are all better.

Is it just me, or are the Boros getting like NO love from this? Hell even their keyrune is lame compared to the others....
[/quote]

They just haven't got that many cards yet. That's all. Their Keyrune would probably be much better if it was 1/2 double strike.

I can only guess we'll get some big splashy Boros rare this week.

They've only gotten 4 cards, half as many as the next guild. They'll get a handful of new cards soon.

[quote name='Borderline Unplayable' timestamp='1357588876' post='6114389']
I'm not surprised Boros aren't getting much. RDW is already arguably the best deck in the format.
[/quote]
Um, no it isn't. Its a deck that is winning sure, but it is far from the best deck in the format.

Why they would revisit Zendikar so quickly is beyond me.

Nothing we didn't know.

I also updated the first page to have the card image of the 3 cards that only had text before.

Also found this
