Rodrigo Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Original pic (in Chinese) can be found on MTGS. A 2/2 flying lifelink for 3 with possibility of upgrading into a bigger creature? Very strong card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Pretty sweet, manifest is definitely one of the better new mechanics wizards has come up with in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawkobo Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Probably the only manifest card that is actually going to be considered. Having two relevant keywords and the chance to flip a dude is pretty good in midrangey lists as a matchup breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surely won't be the only one, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sold on that quite yet. There's a lot of random chance involved in maintaining most other manifested cards if you're playing outside of green, and even with Courser + scry letting you set up, you have to hope you can get around to flipping relevant things. I'm giving this a pass because flying and lifelink are strong enough effects that I'm willing to slide it under any sort of card, no matter if I'm missing out on a Sarkhan or Elspeth or something.

CLG Klavier Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Think of it this way: if all the manifest cards said "put a 2/2 token into play", would you play them? People think you ALWAYS need to be able to flip the manifested card, while most of the time, a 2/2 stapled to other effects is really good. And if you ADD the possibilites of it being a better card, then yeah, it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I found interesting about manifest is the prospect of making lands in later portions of the game not dead draws. But that really only applies in the late game, and there are much better things you could be doing maindeck, or even board, at this moment in time. Let alone the fact that while one can continually argue manifest provides more acceleration in non-blue colors, whiffing can really suck in this metagame when you lose particular cards. Example: I'd rather have that Anger of the Gods than have Rageform manifest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoRWBY65 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 If I'm playing with Manifest cards, I'm probably going to have something else that will let me see the top of my library, for instance, the large number of scry cards from Theros, or the Lens of Clarity from Tarkir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Brainstorm+this+Emrakul+Cloudshift=GG It's almost redundant mentioning combos like that involving Emrakul. There's like a billion cheat combos, that's definitely one of the worse ones. Akroma + Flickerwisp is just better, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 You can replace Emrakul with the fatty of your choice but it's a fun casual combo. Arkoma +flickerwisp is definitely more playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
