It’s time for even more Magic 2014 (M14) spoilers. This time we start off with this little gem:
Brave the Elements
It’s back to make white weenie viable again
For those of you who were sick and tired of losing your little weenie horde to a Bonfire of the Damned (miracled or not), Wizards has the answer for you. Mind you this will probably be more played in a Green/White aggro style of deck but who knows – we might yet see a real white weenie contender.
Its offensive capability is rather great as it can allow pretty much your whole team through something like a wall of Thragtusk or 3/3 Beast tokens if you’re going in for the killing blow. I can’t wait to get a chance to play this again in Standard.
Doom Blade
Does it simplify or complicate the black removal suite (Ultimate price, Murder, etc) ?
Opportunity
I thought Wizards wanted to cut down on the instant-speed card drawing
Grim Return
Great card design but mostly Commander material for now
Shock
Anyone ‘shocked’ to see this back?
Scavenging Ooze
Awesome! It’s pretty much official at this point
Elixir of Immortality
We’re pretty much all just getting used to it at this point …
Angelic Accord
Well, don’t knock till you try it I guess …
Elvish Mystic
Another Elves 1-drop
Corpse Hauler
A more aggressive Gravedigger that you can use when you feel like it
Soulmender
Lay of the Land
Now you can keep that one-lander!
Corrupt
Just how good will it be?
Claustrophobia
Finally! an Innistrad reprint!
Accorder’s Shield
Just not the same without this guy
That ends another preview Blog for Magic 2014 and I for one think that the limited experience is sure to be dynamic to say the least. As far as constructed goes, I hope we can still get some more Standard playable cards before the totality of the set is revealed.
Here’s hoping!
