I must made an angel deck yesterday. The combo of Bishop of Wings, Divine Visitation and making tokens is pretty great. Kill my angel and I'll just get a new one and life to boot.

yeah it's badass! I have a couple decks that use this combo the only issue is it requires a lot of things to go right for you in the game in order to pull it off, but once it goes off it's gg

Any of you fellers happen to know if they've confirmed we get a new stack of quests when Ikoria/the new mastery pass launches? If we don't know I'll knock out my quests and hope for the best. I know they did that at least once but I can't remember if that's the new standard or not.

i want arclight phoenixes back
Are there good looking Ikoria cards for arclights? I haven't looked through the full card spoilers yet, but the little bit I did didn't have anything leap out at me. Only problem of course is graveyard hate isn't completely unheard of with fucking Uro running around. I'm still in silver because I've been barely playing and playing dumb shit like Izzet drakes (Did see the new card for that in Ikoria. Still probably not enough to revitalize the deck but I'll play it regardless because fuck the police I LOVE THAT DECK I CAN'T HELP IT) and mono green Timmy.

They are in an arms race with themselves. Each new set has to have more stupidly op shit to make people buy it, even compared to the previous set which was op too. At this point Standard has more overpowered shit than Vintage. Next set will have this:

wow I'm looking at the ikoria cards for the first time and holy shit white seems really good (only looked at white so far lol) but there's a REALLY strong and easy to force prison-ey deck in there with all these at common and cheap:

in general you get more drake like options for cheaper
Oh baby! Not sure about the wizard (She's a mythic so an expensive craft, and 3 mana 0/3 that improves your looting cards... Eh. Definitely more arclight than Izzet phoenix) but my dick's hard for that instant. Nice graveyard-based nuke that hits creatures AND walkers AND exiles if it kills, so cleans up annoying shit like Uro. That could potentially be a straight up replacement for lava coil in phoenix, the instant speed really helps it too.

There is confirmation that the quests will reset/refill, so if anyone happens to catch this before Ikoria goes live you can try to burn through your quests for extra gold. New quest should be out in 3 minutes, before the big Ikoria change.

Yeah but at least in vintage you get people wanting to play interesting combos. Last time I played this it was endless RDW on turn 3/4.
