when Iroas, God of Victory is released, what you to think will happen to boros staples like Boros Reckoner and Assemble the Legion ? im leaning to them increasing for a short while before RTR rotates out
I give you:
Dictate of the Twin Gods
3RR
Enchantment
Flash
If a source would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.
Yes, at 5 CMC that's high, but this is the amplifier Mr. Boros Reckoner has been looking for:
- Anger of the Gods
: all creatures take 6, and since Boros Reckoner
just took 6, you take 12. I used to love the Boros Reckoner
/Blasphemous Act
combo, this new one is great!
- Searing Blood
your reckoner: he takes 4, which in turn deals 8 to your opponents face... oh yeah take another 6 from Searing Blood
.
- Fated Conflagration
your reckoner for 10, your opponent takes 20 damage. GG!
- Good old Lightning Strike
the reckoner for 6, your opponent takes 12. And if you're holding that Boros Charm take 8 more.
Let's not forget the reckoner's playmateSatyr Firedancer : burn and clear the field. Hell even Izzet Staticaster will no longer need Gorgon's Head to be able to kill most of the aggro creatures out there now. How about, staticaster pings the reckoner for 2, you take 4.
Yes... I like the possibilities with DotTG. It's the amplifier that Boros Reckoner needs. I predict at least a short term price jump while the pros test this out. If someone wins a big tourney, Boros Reckoner could jump in price again. How much: $30?, $20?, $15? -I have no idea. But this is a great addition for burn and people who want to make Boros Reckoner a deadly threat again.

@Apoptosis... for your #4.
If you're holding that Boros Charm , make your Boros Reckoner Indestructible... then hit him with any damage... even a Shock .
2 to the reckoner...
target the reckoner with his own ability... 4 to the reckoner...
target the reckoner with his own ability... 8 to the reckoner...
target the reckoner with his own ability... 16 to the reckoner...
target the reckoner with his own ability... 32 to your opponent...

Rayenous Excellent!!! You found a simple way to make the amplifier go past 11, all the way up to infinite!

One good card isn't necessarily going to suddenly make them spike. They might see a small bump, but you're bleeding money on Boros Reckoner if you haven't sold them already. It's been sliding since shortly after Theros released like most Standard cards do. It's down from 20 to 10. Assemble the Legion has more or less been stable at around $2, so even if it started seeing more play I doubt it will move much.
