Buying Oath of the Gatwatch

Be patient! I am asking both the readers and the writer of this article. All of you have great thoughts, but wait and wait until they are at the right prices to buy. The time is not now.

1. Thought-Knot Seer

Widely used in Modern, I can be in Legacy and Standard. In the event of Modern decks adjust to resist Eldrazi aggro or Wizards ban Chalice, whichever happens, a chance to buy Thought-Knot Seer happens.

2. Kozilek's Return

It's used in GR Ramp decks in both Modern and Standard. It's a Mythic rare that has a potential to rise more then Though-Knot Seer.

3. Sylvan Advocate

I already see it in Abzan decks, Bant Aggro decks and some Ramp decks. It indicates that Sylvan is usable in both Control and Aggro decks. It 's a good sign. Most cards in Abzan rotate out with KTK, but Bant remains. If Shadows over Innistrad doesn't introduce something game changing, I think Sylvan will be more popular.

4. World Breaker

It's the best card to activate Kozilek's Return. If GR ramp does well in Standard it can rise a lot. Also, Shadows over Innistrad may bring some graveyard related combos that fits World Breaker's reanimating ability.

5. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet

It's theme- related to Shandows over Innistrad. I won't buy it now because it's already too high. After Rally decks rotate with Fate Reforged (hope so), Kalitas may stay at a better price to buy.

6. Chandra, Flamecaller

After Ugin rotates, Chandra is the best mass removal in GR ramp if Shadows over Innistrad has nothing for GR. I am watching this card.

[Standard][RNA] Gruul Decks

Against Control - the kind of control doesn't seem very strong in the current meta nor the new meta, we got several cards, all Gruul. Cindervines pressures an opponent's spells casting, directly shut down Izzet Phoenix. Its enchantment removal effect neutralizes Conclave Tribunal type cards. Rhythm of the Wild makes both conterspells and sorcery speed removals effortless. Gruul Spellbreaker provides a more solid way against Settle the Wreckage. So, control is totally ruled off in a meta full of Gruuls, if the meta IS full of Gruul. Let's look at the decks a Gruul facing: 1. Aristocrats A wall of Indestructible, Lifelink and Deathtouch, how do your Nullhide Ferox pass through it? Even with a Carnage Tyrant, the best it can do is just a few damages recovered easily, then it dies to a blocking Pontiff. 2. Mono Red After casting Rhythm followed by a Gruul Spellbreaker, it eats a Lava Coil the next turn, your life downs to a horribly low level, thanks to...

What is Magic Origins about?

If I am right, Magic Origins is a collection of "redesigned" old cards in MTG history. Evidence so far supports the prediction. We have: Dark Petition reminiscing Demonic Tutor, Day's Undoing replacing Timetwister, Honored Hierarch taking after Noble Hierarch. I believe more cards from Power Nine and old sets will appear in Standard but with lowered power level. Let's make some wild guess before the spoiler's out: 1. All ten Shock lands return ( Dual lands ) update: painlands, not shocklands 2. There are remakes for Armageddon, Nevinyrral's Disk and Wrath of God update: they remade Cataclysm. 3. Moxes will appear with 1 mana cost and "enter the battlefield tapped" 4. Something close to Force of Will is in the set

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...
