It's day two of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic The Gathering's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Streets of New Capenna previews, and today we're taking a closer look at the Maestro crime family. A family of art hoarding vampires, the Maestros crave only the upmost decadence and are more than willing to slit a few throats to get them. The best assassins in New Capenna all belong to the Maestros, which is (or was, thanks to Ob Nixilis) overseen by its vampire demon boss Lord Xander.Today's previews inꦜclude a few more Commanders, a powerful tutor, and lots for spell-slinging decks to enjoy. Here is e⛄verything revealed on day two of the Streets of New Capenna spoiler season.
Mage's Attendant
Two generic, one white Creature – Cat Rogue:
When Mage's Attendant enters the b🐭attlefield, create a 1/1 blue Wizard token with: "Pay one generic, Sacrifice this creature: Counter target noncreature spell unless its c🌠ontroller pays one generic mana".
A little bit Cabaretti with the token generation, a little bit Obscura with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:counterspell ability, Mage's Attendant is a flexible piece in a large number of decks. Finding ways to copy that token coul𒁏d be an 🐲easy way to shut down a game as well.
All-seeing Arbiter (translated name TBA)
Four generic, two blue Creature – Avatar:
Flying. When𓆉ever All-seeing Arbiter enters the 𝓀battlefield or attacks, draw two cards and discard a card. Whenever you discard a card, target creature an opponent control gains -X/-0 until your next turn, where X is the number of different mana values of cards in your graveyard.
Mana value effects like this are always a pain to track, but they're certainly effective. Load up your graveyard with🍸 lots of different mana values with mechanics like connive and casualty and you could be severely nerfing big threats on the board every turn.
Make Disappear
One generic, one blue Instant:
Cas𝓀ualty 1. Counter target spell unless its controller pays two generic mana.
Conditional counterspells like this are always a little bit disappointing, but this one manages to use the casualty mechanic to turn it into something ꩲpromising. You could double up the counterspells and force an opponent to pay four mana (which is efꦑfectively a hard counter in a lot of situations), or you could do a bit of stack management and target multiple spells at once.
Cut Your Losses
Four generic, two blue Sorcery:
Casualty 2. Target player 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mills half their library, rounded down.
This is probably meant to be the Maddening Cacophony replacement for when Zendikar Rising rotates out of Standard in a few months, but the ability to copy it and force an opponent🤡 to mill 75 per cent of their library is terrifying. As an aside, Dominik Mayer is a relatively new a𝓰rtist for Magic and he has been killing it in every set he's done art for.
Unauthorised Shipping (translated name TBA)
Three generic, two black Sorcery:
Casu📖alty 3. S🎃earch your library for a card, put it in your hand, and then shuffle your library.
We haven't had 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a black tutor this powerful for a little while. Completely unconditional, and can easi💝ly be copied to let you search for two cards instead. It's expensive and at sorcery speed, but the promise of two cards makes it worth it.
Maestros Initiate
Two generic, one black Creature – Human Citizen:
Pay four generic, one blue or red mana, and⛄ exile M🅘aestros Initiate from your graveyard: draw two cards, then discard a card.
This is prime casualty fodder. It's g✱ot the high power to make it an effective sacrifice, and then have a graveyard ability to give it even more 🅺value after death. Unfortunately, that hybrid mana locks it out of a lot of Commander decks and means it likely won't see much play outside of Standard.
Grisly Sigil
One black Sorcery:
Casualty 1. Choose target cre🀅ature or Planeswalker. If it was dealt noncombat damage this turn, Grisly Sigil deals three damage to it. Otherwise, Grisly Sigil deals one damage to it and you gain one life.
We've had a few slightly worse versions of Lightning Bolt in this set already, but putting one in black is a genius 🐽move. It's a sacrifice outlet that can deal between four and six damage to any one creature, or between one and three to two instead. It might be sorcery speed, but, again, it not being red turns what would've been a disappointing spell into something fantastic.
Join The Maestros
Four generic, one black Sorcery:
Casꦿualty 2. Create a 4/3 black Ogre Warrio🧔r creature token.
Five mana for a 4/3 vanilla token is a bit rubbish, but five mana for a sacrifice outlet and two 4/3 vanilla tokens? That's not bad at all, especially at common.
Dig Up The Body (translated name TBA)
Two generic, one black Instant:
Casualty 1. Mill two cards, then retuꦫrn a c🦩reature card from your graveyard to your hand.
A nice bit of self-mill for graveyard deck꧂s with the added bonus of being an easy sacrifice outlet. This one could be a surprise player in some formats.
Arcane Bombardment
Four generic, two red Enchantment:
Whenever you cast your first instant or sorcery spell each turn, exile an instant or sorcery card at randoꦆm from your graveyard. Then copy each card exiled with Arcane Bombardment. You may cast any number of copies without paying their mana costs.
One of the first big, splashy mythic rares we've seen from New Capenna, this is a powerful card in virtually any deck. You may need to put work into protecting it from removal, as it feels very much like a kill-on-sight kind of card, but double this up with something like magecraft or storm and you'll be ro𝔉lling in value.
