Lol would actually be funny if you attempted to drive here to South Africa, don’t know how far you’d get though 😛

And yes, just having the threat of it bashing in usually lends to not blocking/awkward blocking on the part of the defending player.

I definitely appreciate the nod to picking up Spellskites, as I’ve been slowly acquiring them since they dropped as well. (Also Spellskite in an artifact Heartless Summoning deck for modern is pretty decent)

I said Myr Superion because I thought it was a 4/5 instead of a 5/6. Bet you can\’t guess which deck I played Myr Superion in.

You don\’t know me, man. What if I WASN\’T surprised how effective it is? HUH?! What if I was all like \”Man, that is literally the exact amount effective I thought it was going to be. Ya\’ll made me drive 400 miles to watch you guys playtest for nothing! Sheeeeit\”

You don\’t know.

Ok, on a serious note, I remember how good Wispmare was with Bitterblossom in the format, I imagine Wispmare is good in a format with that auras deck.

Skinshifter has the added benefit of not being totally useless without Doran out. I kind of like that tech.

Most people I know are telling me Doran won\’t be a thing, but I still think it doesn\’t hurt to be prepared for an eventual spike in interest in the cards it plays, especially if they already see play in the format. I didn\’t buy any copies of Doran but I bought a lot of Spellskites.

Currently at $1 on Starcity, and it has the potential to become an 8/8 with Doran out… A guy in my test-group has a competitive Doran deck with this tech in and you’d be surprised how effective it is.
