Buying Magic Origins

To see my review, you may go to this article.

Since I don't feel well, let's go right to the cards I like to buy in the next few weeks.

1. Woodland Bellower
Woodland Bellower
Opposite to most reviewers on the web , I give this card positive rating. Six mana for 6/5 and a smaller green creature is not bad. We should not limit its potential to "searching for a Deathmist" or "searching for another green 3/3" etc. As we don't exactly know what green cards will be in the upcoming sets, this card have some unpredictable potential after rotation.


2.  Exquisite Firecraft
Exquisite Firecraft
People comparing it to Char, Lightning Bolt, Flame Javelin won't agree my point: this is the best red burn in the future Standard. All previous core sets recently signified the power level of the next standard. Stop complaining and accept this card as a so-so but USABLE card.

3. Starfield of Nyx
Starfield of Nyx
The only cards ever in Modern that animates enchantments is worthy for us to keep a close eye on it. It may have a little chance to shine in Standard, too. In the same way as picking Woodland Bellower, we are buying the potential of getting good enchantments in the upcoming sets.

Why the following cards are not included?
Archangel of TithesAvaricious DragonDay's UndoingEvolutionary Leap
It's simple: I don't understand the cards. They look fancy, all new cards with interesting ideals do. How many of them can stand the test of Standard? Not to mention becoming 4x in a popular deck? I am not saying they are bad, just unsure.

I rather like all the pain lands reprinted. People like to overreact toward reprints. As long as people play colored decks, these lands with rise by at least 50% a few months later.

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...

Mono Red Devotion

Will devotion come back in the new Standard? There is no card better than Dragon Whisperer for red devotion. Not only does it contribute RR to devotion but its 1R:+1 ability brings back Flamewake Phoenix ( Ferocious) . I like Flamewake Phoenix. But on paper, it has a promo version. It's likely that it's designated to be printed as a player's reward card( much like what they did on Chandra's Phoenix ). Do you like Ashcloud Phoenix more? Is it better than Thunderbreak Regent? Or reverse? No matter what the answers are, Regent is the most likely a replacement for Stormbreath Dragon after rotation. The list: Mountains 22 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 2 or 2 more Mountains Dragon Whisperer 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel  4 Flamewake Phoenix  4 Goblin Rabblemaster  4 Ashcloud Phoenix  2 Thunderbreak Regent 2 Fanatic of Mogis  2 Purphoros, God of the Forge  1 Outpost Siege  2 Chandra, Pyromaster  2 Stoke the Flames /...
