Is this Burn? I don’t know. In any case, [scryfall]Torment of Hailfire[/scryfall] seems like it’s not very good. However, in a right shell it might work quite well.

As usual, there are some potentially very impactful cards hidden in the final bunch of spoilers. One of them could very well be this one.
I didn’t really expect that to be back any time soon, as they have recently nerfed this ability somewhat, but it is a good answer to Eternalize. However, in Standard, just the tempo can also be important.

It might be subtle, but the most impactful cards in most sets are the rare lands. They are the piece of the puzzle that enable different builds. For example, right now because of the fast lands, wedges are faster than shards, which informs the way people design their decks. This time it might be different. It might be the uncommon lands. Like this one:
This cycle enables plenty of Eldrazi decks.

The reason I’m thinking about this is “Ammit Eternal”. Don’t know if that’s the real name, as it was spoiled in Japanese. The translation, via MythicSpoilers, reads like this:
“Ammit Eternal”
2B
Creature – Zombie Crocodile Demon
Afflict 3Whenever an opponent casts a spell, put a -1/-1 counter on Ammit Eternal.
Whenever Ammit Eternal deals combat damage to a player, remove all -1/-1 counters from it.
5/5
That should work well with [scryfall]Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons[/scryfall]

Zombie Jackal Cleric? Okay…
My Favorite Decks from Pro Tour Amonkhet
Part of me loves the fact that Monoblack Zombies won, but part of me also hates it, because now everyone know about the deck and how good it is, so I can’t play it anymore. So, let’s dig a little deeper once again.
Amonkhet Brews, pt. 15 – Can We Still Use Saheeli?
Last weekend I played a PPTQ. I didn’t do well, but whatever. I think my deck choice was pretty good. I just wasn’t playing optimally myself. However, what I wanted to talk about was [scryfall]Saheeli Rai[/scryfall].

Since the cat is out, maybe moving from white to green is better.
[MtG] Using Monetary Investment as a Reason for Not Banning
We’ve heard it plenty of times: Wizards doesn’t want to ban certain cards, because people have a lot of money invested in their decks and they don’t want to ruin that.
Well, that’s kind of absurd.

Apparently I’m not the only one who feels like Cartouche is a dirty word.
