Footlight fiend deathtouch6/3/2023 ![]() ![]() All told, this won't be making many appearances in your local pod.ĭead Revels is a strict upgrade if you're one of the 464 decks playing Dutiful Return or one of the 234 running March of the Returned, but rather than upgrading you'd probably be better off just not playing any of the three.ĭrill Bit is on point regarding the name, art, and flavor text synergy. Neither Human nor Shaman are particularly relevant tribes in black or red, the pinger ability can't hit bodies, and sorcery speed discard is a fairly weak ability in Commander. It's not terrible or anything, but it's not good either. I'm not sure a Shower of Sparks on the first half adds any extra sauce, either.Ĭult Guildmage makes puppet Jace dance! Dance, puppet Jace, dance! That's the best part about this card. Sure, the Carnage half is a pseudo- Blightning, but even that only shows up in about 831 decks. Rakdos punisher decks have a new best friend.Ĭarnival // Carnage is another unimpressive split card. Sure, the Zombie tokens could come back to bite you (ha!) if the other players turn them your direction, but either of the other two modes go off like a bomb, and are extremely hard to bounce back from. Outside that narrow space, though, it's mostly Limited fodder.Ĭaptive Audience is the spice! Yes, it costs seven, but the opponent you choose has to pick one of three modes that put them precipitously close to an unrecoverable game state. If you can consistently do that and get some added creature type synergy, then a 3/2 that draws a card for 2B isn't the worst thing in the world. ![]() Then it's easy to miss what really goes onīlade Juggler may find a home in some kind of Sygg, River Cutthroat Rogue tribal list, since the evasion inherent on a lot of Rogues makes casting for the Spectacle cost fairly easy. My guess is this winds up replacing Dreadbore in Rakdos or R/B/x decks currently running it, and probably finds a respectable home in a few other lists. Still, the utility of hitting three different card types is hard to deny, as is the versatility of instant speed removal. Chaos Warp (28,011 decks), Dreadbore (9,459 decks), and Hero's Downfall (19,439 decks) already exist as spells that deal with different kids of permanents, and we also have things like Go for the Throat, Terminate and Unlicensed Disintegration for creature removal. But is the card itself good enough? The answer is. I'm not sure either are particularly relevant in EDH, a format whose ceiling for playability gets higher and higher with each passing set.īedevil has some sick art, courtesy of all-star Seb McKinnon. ![]() Meanwhile, the Bedazzle half glues rhinestones to your jeans. Bedeck can kill a pesky 3/3, even one with indestructible, or it can buff something of ours with 4 or more toughness, all at instant speed. So let's see what little treats this Magic: the Gathering of the Juggalos has in store for us, shall we?īedeck // Bedazzle is good fun. They're Ravnica's own Insane Clown Posse, except with acid and chainsaws instead of Faygo and questions about basic scientific principles. This time around I get to review the Rakdos portion of the set. Welcome to the Ravnica Allegiance, a set where no matter how many times I type it out, I still have to spellcheck Allegiance.
