Thuran said: True, but why would you ever play it, when drake haven and faith are a lot stronger? Also, it still seems bad in a cycling deck, since it requires you to actually cast each card manually, so you will take forever to build up even just 5-6 cycle cards in the yard. A deck which cycled the cards would have won by then

Since the AI casts every cycling spell, and doesn't lack for mana to keep casting them (NP plus the new Deserts is a lot of mana), it could easily generate a rather large pile of cycling cards in said graveyard.

Maybe I haven't expressed myself clearly, but this is the same perspective I used : it does work with the hardcore cycling stuff because it cycles, and makes the decks better (=more interesting) when the ai pilots them

Sorin will love that card. Ob nix is also not unimpressed. Yeah, pull from tomorrow.. Love it. I'd even pay extra because of the drawback.. Scraphead agrees.

I think that Sorin receieved an incredible amount of love from AMK and even more from HoU. I don't even have the guy and it is obvious that his B/W advantage can create many devastating combos in here. I'm inclined to finally get him on his next rotation
