Something about this card makes me think it's gonna be super OP and banned quickly. A two-mana, one-color sorcery to destroy any creature. Sure, you have to sacrifice one too, but you get a benefit out of that part too.
I do NOT understand why they still print garbage like this. This is a mediocre, balanced card at two mana, three mana cheaper than this, and it's still not a great card at that cost.
Convoke is back and it's once again garbage. most of the cards are terribly overpriced, forcing you to convoke.

Strands has two things going against it: It's a sorcery and you have to sac one of your guys. You have to 2 for 1 yourself on your own turn to remove an opponents creature. It's pretty bad.
This set is turning out to be a massive turd. You'd think they would have learned from Zendikar not to fuck up a fan favorite set.

- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
Severed strands is not really good. The sorcery type, and sacrificing a creature makes it situational as well. It's not bad, but I doubt it'll see much play. The life gain is not important at all. Could become better when we get Orzhov, which will surely have some cards that want you to sacrifice creatures. It's playable in draft, but I wouldn't pick up more than 1, maybe 2.
Command the storm is a bit high on its mana cost, but 5 damage at instant speed is a great effect in limited. It's not a card printed for constructed, though, and will see no play in 60 card formats.
Overall, the set doesn't really interest m eall that much except for a few cards (shocks and some dimir cards) bug I play edh exclusively so that's usually all I get from a set.
Monk, I need a monk!!!

It's not that bad as you are usually paired with other newbie decks that you are given. The game gives you a plethora of coins, enough to buy about pack a day, and as you open packs you get "wildcards" which can be used to buy a card specifically. It ends up being pretty fair and keeps you playing while you feel like you are advancing with your collection. Of course it is a slow process at first and you do need to play enough to keep up, but it does feel a lot better than Hearthstone where you would only be abl eto get a pack once a week at best.

Anyone watching the stream?
I missed a couple spoilers, but the trailer is pretty good.
People crying in the audience is cringy as fuck though.
nice trailer indeed
IMO they need to blast his ass into space for good. We've been on the Bolas circlejerk since Shards of Alara. Wizards is approaching GW levels of plot stalling, the story needs to move on.
I vote we return to the old style of hopping from plane to plane without a big overarching story.
Yeah it looks like Dack is going to die (although maybe they'll pull something, because that trailer makes it too obvious)...
I think Liliana will live.. I think there is some speculation the Raven Man may save her... I think Gideon will live too (I hope so, I think he needs to try and save Elspeth from the Underworld on Theros), but I think Ajani has a high chance of dying... it feels like his storyline has been moving more and more to a "heroic death" type of scenario. Not so sure about other planeswalkers
I'm hoping that Ugin doesn't die, they just brought him back in Fate Reforged! Plus if Nicol Bolas survives, I think it's good to keep him alive to kind of act as a foil (no pun intended) for the Grixis Elder Dragon's schemes

Can't wait til the new set... been saving up gold for it. I think I have about 36k gold saved up (so about a box worth of packs)... by the time the set comes out I think I'll have close to 72k gold
