For those of you who are on the fence whether to follow me or not, here is a thread I'll pin, that will let you know who am I, what is my content like and introduce you to the last few years of my work, looking at what was there and what to expect in the future. 1/27

@jenara19 Congrats! Awesome things happen to good folk...

@WizDomMTG you still in Zurich area?

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

@Fated434 @IslandGoSAMe I think history judged him correctly, as being completely humiliated by a couple of zoomers shows.

I know some contemporaries had sympathy towards him but the charm patina is gone and what is left is a pathetic fraud.

@ourmartyredlady „Not sure if it is commander material but will fit right into my 88”

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

@Fated434 @IslandGoSAMe He is.

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

@rocketf20 @IslandGoSAMe Hey, you can be approaching 50 without being pathetic. I heard.

this is my personal mike long tale. it leaves out a bit of context of our first interaction at spotlight orlando in 2025.

cheaters and scumbags and bigots do not belong in competitive magic. don't let them feel welcome.

@ashleybits Did he reply with improvement suggestions?

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

Since I was posting it yesterday after the spoilers - RT for the X prime time.

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

So - we have seen all the signpost uncommons for Marvel - time to do an "in vacuum" assessment. Mind reader - I cover limited so no need to get angry that card I said was good is rubbish in Legacy, OK?

Let's dive into them.

@UpYourCornhole So are we supposed to assume that the design lead known for careful, synergy driven design forgot to put sac fodder and just assume the card is "horrendous" ignoring any priors?

That is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

@UpYourCornhole I mean we literally had the card.
2nd best U in its set despite BG being a rather poor color pair. I concur - maybe BRO was particular and we don't know just yet how well positioned it is but I would err on the side of "it's very strong" given the history.

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

@joshez_ Are you looking for trouble? You wanna get into fisty-cuffs?

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

I need to take a long shower and cry just at the mere attempt to imagine this.

Also put 4 in Judge Tower.

[Guy Fox @ulgulanoth]

Alright now this card should give anyone who knows MtG an aneurism

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

Excited about the spoiler season.

Dave Humpherys tends to deliver banger draft sets, so I'm not despairing about the no ETB 4-drop signposts but wonder: what is the reason for that?

And I have little doubt there is one and it is a crafty one.

What do you think?

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

Last but not least: Cap. This one is just great on rate. 3 mana 3/4 Vigi just blanks aggro. And there is rarely removal that can trade favourably with those kind of stats. Also pseudo-vigi for the rest of your team is nice. And if there are any cool tap abilities - VALUE.
