Very powerful and cool to see, it also seems to fit Tamiyo’s own flavour really well. And then the ultimate, that’s definitely a thing of beauty. The -2 ability is a way that the walker can protect herself, and it is nice to see something different in that slot than “destroy target so-and-so”. Add in creatures with double strike, and things get a whole lot better. Her +1 ability is completely bonkers if you have any board, and even if you don’t, you can target your opponent’s creatures with it, so you end up with value nonetheless. However, Tamiyo, Field Researcher is completely different. While that also had to do with the fact that the Temur colour combo was just not in the same level of competition as the others, the card also wasn’t that great. The last time we had a 3-color Planeswalker in a set was Sarkhan Dragonspeaker last year in Dragons of Tarkir and unfortunately, he proved to be a dud. Very underwhelming.įor me, this is one of the most exciting cards from the set. His flip-side is also pretty uninteresting, especially given the “non-Werewolf” clause, which is a flavour fail given the name on the flip-side. He doesn’t add all that much to a werewolves deck, and so the RG slot for this set is completely wasted. But the fact that he completely lacks any kind of an evergreen ability, something like haste or trample or what have you, that’s really disappointing. His enter the battlefield trigger is also pretty neat, and there are definitely some combos that can be set-up to make full use of it. As a 4/4 werewolf for 5 mana, Ulrich of the Krallenhorde isn’t that bad. In comparison, the hype for this card has been in the opposite direction. The werewolf Planeswalker Arlinn Kord was a pretty incredible reveal for the last set. This is going to have a huge impact on the format, especially when someone can string together the dream of casting this for 9 mana or less. This is really tough to get off the field, and answers are few and far in between at the moment, so we’ll see how things shake out. The card itself is pretty great, and gets across the flavour of the character really well, though it doesn’t really compare to Emrakul’s previous iteration of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. I’ve been the target of Mindslaver-locks in Modern plenty of times to really hate the middle effect on Emrakul, the Promised End. Not to mention the mythics, so let’s dive straight into the meat of the spoilers!įirst off is the big baddy herself, Emrakul. However, putting that aside, some of the flavour of the set that has come out has been incredible, with some cool new mechanics, and a lot of the rares and uncommons look like they have serious potential. The reveal isn’t particularly that big since the powers-that-be were pretty hamfisted with the signals and following on from the Battle For Zendikar block, it isn’t that exciting a reveal either. Since the reveal about the big bad of the set, and indeed the entire block, being the Eldrazi Titan Emrakul, it has certainly been an interesting ride.
