![]() This will make the cube but it won't see quite as much play as the hype suggests. There is not enough call for Conscripts to need cube redundancy and I cannot imagine a deck that wants that one mana off the card so much that they would chose this over it. The real problem for this is Zealous Conscripts, for one mana more you get so so much more, no type or power restriction on targets, haste and an extra toughness. Somewhat narrow and somewhat midrange despite being a fine tempo card. When it is good however I suspect it will show up even the mighty Courser of Kruphix. I like this card and want it to be good but fully expect it to see too little play to merit a slot. You want it to just fit in your deck and be good rather than tweaking your deck with a few more cheap instants so that it is good. Outside of those kinds of archetype Jhessian Thief is quite average. My worry for this little dork is that it is only really good in a couple of very similar decks. Prowess is a decent upgrade on Scroll Thief and is especially potent in the cube. We have seen Ophidian improve over the years. Certainly playable but not up to required calibre of the present day. Flashing five mana 4/4s are not the creatures you are looking for. If the things he exiled stayed exiled then this would be a very different discussion, as is, I shall stick to cards that have a more consistently high base power level. While situationally this has enough power to make it in the cube it is far too much of a fiddly card to be a cube mainstay. Sunblast Angel in a cheaper more interesting form. Soldier of the Pantheon and PreordainĦ - Decent stand alone cards and the bar needed to hold an A cube slot.ĥ - Good things that don't quite make it into the cube (B cube)Ĥ - Good things that don't really have a home despite offering decent powerģ- narrow archetypal stuff that is of the right power level but not nearly often enough (C cube)Ģ- shouldn't see play but has unique aspects or an obvious home in a presently weak deckġ- unlikely to ever see play but has a glimmer of potential Bloodbraid Elf and Remandħ - Good archetypal cards and high quality filler cards. I do not expect to ever give this rating to a new card.ĩ - Things like Deathrite Shaman and Snapcaster Mage, the cards that are total staples in their colour(s) and are likely to be banned in other formats.Ĩ - Tier one archetypal bombs and high quality rounded cards. I look forward to playing with them all very much!ġ0 - Insane levels of good reserved for Time Walk and Sol Ring. It started out poorly with weak versions of existing cards but steadily improved to be a very impressive set with loads of exciting, interesting and well designed cards. With the flipping planeswalker dorks taking so long to review I have broken the set review down into two parts, them and the rest, which is this.
