My guess on June 1 Announcement: Banned/Restricted or......

Have you heard about Vanguard?
Ertai - Vanguard (MTG) - Magic | TrollAndToad
Players started to play MTG in the late 90s may remember the over-sized promo cards in store shelves.
Each big card contains a set of rules. You start with 30 life; You can draw 2 cards; your creatures get +1/+1......
Vanguard was marketed as a new format? I never got the chance to know or play games with them, so I don't know.

Companions are the new Vanguard, I guess.
Companions will not be seen in official events unless you put them into decks.
We are getting a sub format in which all decks must include a companion.

This is an alternative to banning. Banning will infuriate too many players, store owners, collectors.

Will companions plummet? In short term, they will.

I'm still thinking what to do with these cards, so it would be better for me to write about it in my next entry.

Hope I can write something before 1st June.

Anyway, I am trying to play MTG in real life.

Good luck to me!

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 /...
