[KTK] Deflecting Palm Technique*

Recommended Posts

The thing about watermarks is that should this card appear in say, the Temur intro deck, then WotC didn't want it to be a strictly Jeskai card that was awkwardly sitting in the Temur deck. That's why Mindswipe, Utter End, and Sagu Mauler don't have a watermark either.

 

 

MaRo said the watermarks only appear on three-color cards, cards with the clan's keyword, and some others.

"some others."


Exactly, what's this? It's possible that means 'cards with morph' are then given a designated a clan, but the conflict between Icefeather Aven and Sagu Mauler makes that confusing.

By some others I meant the weird things like Towershell and whatever is yet to come.

 

Icefeather Aven looks definitively set in the frozen area of Tarkir, which is Temur territory. Sagu Mauler appears to be in a jungle, which would be Sultai, but it's also a huge creature which is Temur's thing. Mauler can easily go in both.

The weird things are what's irking me. There's got to be some sorting system with all these one-offs.

Well, that's not true. The Sagu Jungle is definitively Sultai territory. It wouldn't be a Temur card just because it has 4+ power.

See, what leads me to say this should be Jeskai is the fact that the art focuses on a Jeskai monk. 

 

And not just any monk, but Narset herself. I'm also inclined to say that it's Zurgo getting his hand obliterated. But this card fits into a Mardu deck to protect from backlash just as easily as a Jeskai deck would use it as a combat trick. I blame the intro decks for watermark goofiness.
