Constructed: 1/5 Limited: 1.5/5
A Llanowar elf of sorts :p. I think this is an underwhelming common that might see some fringe play in a constructed deck that is in need of Avacyn's pilgrim 5-8 however those deck do not need any more ramping cards such as this. The reverse is nice though. A vigilant bear that provides double mana is not something to be scoffed at. It seems to me though it might be too much for the deck that wants the flipside and not the frontside. If you can play the next card I am going over whilst this creature is flipped then all the better, but then we have the classic case of playing one card to make another better..
Constructed: ?/5 Limited: 2.5/5
As I said above, this is a card that could improve the fortunes of many fringe playable cards in this block and the previous. Immerwolf ( Everwolf?) gives all other werewolves and wolves you control +1/+1 for those who don't understand German, which is nice. The were-deck has 2 lords now between this and the mayor and maybe could see some play. A lot of what makes this card better however is it's second function. Werewolves you control that are not humans, meaning the flipped versions, cannot be transformed. That means the Immerwolf locks all humans that have transformed into their were-states. The issues presented by that sort of deck are that you need to sacrifice a turn to flip your guys. I know some people would scream at me and say that "Moonmist is a card" and "Your opponent could miss a spell" but they're wrong. I think maybe this helps the deck out by pumping both sides and if you manage to flip your guys, keeping them flipped is a good thing. I honest don't know how to rate this card in constructed until we see the 1 drop green werewolf and how aggressive it is.
From the uncertain nature of the Immerwolf to contacting those who have passed on.
Constructed: 1/5 Limited: 1/5
Sitting around and thinking about this card is not going to help improve it. Flavourful and a perfect fit for the block aside this doesn't do what you want from a card like this. The tokens do not have haste so you cannot take advantage of larger creatures which may of died such as the reaver from yesterday. The only good point of the card is that it activates in both players turn, meaning you have an extra blocker but really who blocks anyway. Sorry Wizards, but try give them haste next time....
Constructed: 3/5 Limited: 4/5
Now this is a mythic. Would I like to buy back all my best creatures for an additional cost of 1....yes please. If you get back your own durdles that your opponent has killed then ok, that is good. Think about if you are playing constructed, and rebuying a grave titan..Better yet, you opponent has one of the new Reavers and have this guy...Shit you're thinking, how do get rid of it. How about casting Snapcaster Mage from you bin, and flashing back that dismember or go for the throat you wasted earlier... I think this card has potential in constructed but maybe needs the right home in a control deck with much removal. Maybe this starts as a one-of in most U/B deck then grows in numbers, time will tell.
In Limited this rules the roost, being able to cast any of your creatures again for an additional 1 is game changing. You see this, you pick this, and move on with your life.
Constructed: 3/5 Limited 2/5
Thorn of amethyst never looked so good. This card is another in the long line of hate bears to be printed at rare other such notables include Gaddock Teeg and Grand Abolisher. This is more comparable to Kataki's War Wage than any of the others. It destroys storm combo's of any kind, and making people pay 1 extra for removal spells isn't to bad either. This sees plays more in modern and legacy than in standard, however it does fell the 2 slot in human deck more admirably than Grand Abolisher at the minute with the prevalence of spell based decks.
Limited wise, I maybe wouldn't take it over a high calibre piece of removal, but it should be gone by pick 3. One white mana makes this eminently splash-able in most decks although I would recommend against it. A solid card overall that will see more action in 60 rather than 40 card decks.
Constructed: 1/5 Limited: 2.5/5
An underpowered front side changes to a powerful backside which once flipped, I think could take win a few games. Not many decks can deal with a 4/5 in this limited format, and when he hits he hits hard and nets you cards. The only thing I dislike about this card is that it is green, but i think i can forgive and forget.
Right that is it for today, I will return tomorrow as always with some more new cards from Dark Ascension
