I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.

Sigarda's Blessing is going immediately into my Sigarda equipment voltron EDH deck! Auto-equipping AND instant-speed artifacts is too good!!
Not to mention it's a win flavor-wise!

But you know what's not a flavor win? The fact that it's going in my Nahiri, the Lithomancer deck: Nahiri, the Lithomancer: You Won't BELIEVE Her Art.
July 7, 2016 6:52 a.m.
Well, shit. If I continued my Kalemne deck, I would shove that enchantment in without question.

Mausoleum Wanderer 
Creature - Spirit
Flying
Whenever a Spirit enters the battlefield under your control, Mausoleum Wanderer gets +1/+1 until the end of turn.
Sacrifice Mausoleum Wanderer: Counter target instant or sorcery spell unless its controller pays X, where X is Mausoleum Wanderer's power.
1/1
A Flying Spirit Cursecatcher, with a built in tribal pump ability, and a slightly better 'counter' ability.

So because I am a Dimir fanatic, I figured I'd build something like this for after rotation Unleash the Undead Masses. Any suggestions for edits?
I'm currently subbing a few cards in there for cards in EMN like Collective Brutality, Dark Salvation and Fortune's Favor.

Am I the only one who finds Sigarda's Blessing inexplicably busted?
I'm putting it in my Izzet Painful? deck.
T1: Play [Sigarda's Blessing]
T2: Play a Faithless Looting or two to get Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind in my graveyard.
T3 on my turn or my opponents, or whenever is most fitting, Goryo's Vengeance back Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind. Cast Curiosity at instant speed. Tap Niv. Win.

TMBRLZ No, I definitely see it too, its reach will even go beyond combo. I have been playing aura decks since i started playing and this is an exciting card, Instant speed and turns equipment in to pseudo auras also with instant speed. i think it can be extremely effective

EpicFreddi says... #11
Tmblrz, how is that busted? This changes nothing in your normal curve.. You still go off t3, except you can cast the enchantment instant speed which wouldn't matter since you have to play it in your turn anyway.
July 7, 2016 10:35 a.m.
Ravenous - That spirit is the sexiest thing I've seen in this set. Please WOTC, keep giving me tools for this not-busted Standard "faeries" deck I've been planning for several months...

FFS can GW get junk for once in this Standard?
Nice toy for blue decks
Too expensive for humans?

Imprisoned in the Moon
2U
Enchantment - Aura (Rare)
Enchant creature, land, or planeswalker.
Enchanted permanent is a colorless land with "Tap to add C to yor mana pool" and loses all other abilities.
Only one vault was great enough to hold Emrakul.

Like, did Wizards just not anticipate GW: The Format when the best cards are all GW...?
July 7, 2016 10:46 a.m.
ADX95: Cannot Unsee. Thanks.
Those new humans from the Mothership make me want to build Sigarda EDH again. Brilliant. :D
July 7, 2016 10:50 a.m.
So, they are giving flash to everything except to the spell that supposedly defeats Emrakul, which is the only way it would work against her.
Welp.

Man, I have been expecting emmy to go to the moon ever since the clue mystery was solved, confirming her existence. I feel it's a bit uncreative of wizards. We did get a blue Song of the Dryads out of it though. Worth worth worth
July 7, 2016 10:55 a.m.
GeminiSpartanX says... #23
You have to admit that giving blue a semi-conditional removal spell that hits so many things is pretty bonkers. Up until now blue either had to bounce permanents or use a Pongify/Reality Shift sort of effect to kill creatures. I can see Imprisoned in the Moon making it's way into Modern as additional copies of Spreading Seas in Blue Moon for example.
July 7, 2016 11:04 a.m.
Imprisoned in the Moon, I like it. I think I will be using that in my Edh deck to use on an opponent's commander.
July 7, 2016 11:04 a.m.
It's basically a less powerful Song of the Dryads

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #26
Unless Humans morphs into a midrange deck I am not too worried about most of the G/W cards being spoiled. Other than maybe Lone Rider most are too slow or aren't good enough to replace current cards.
I feel the same remains true for G/W tokens as well. Other than Working Together (which is REALLY good in a token deck) I don't see much else that would be added (maybe Thalia, Heretic Cathar?).
From what I have seen from these spoilers is that U/W spirits, Zombies, R/B vampires, and even R/G werewolves received much more support than either Humans or G/W tokens.
July 7, 2016 11:09 a.m.
EpicFreddi - You're seriously undervaluing the improvement that going off at instant speed gives me in that deck. One of the most glassiest and painful parts of that deck was that is has next to NO interactions. It just tries to go off. If you counter or kill something I care about, I just kind of have to dig for it again (which isn't terribly hard to be honest).
By being able to go off at instant speed I can work around opponent's counterspells and react in response to their kill spells. Everything that hates my curious dragon can now be worked around simply because I can flash in Curiosity. I can go off on my opponent's turn. There's few things more valuable than that in an infinite combo deck.

Oliva's Dragoon
1B
Creature - Vampire Berserker (Common)
Discard a card: Olivia's Dragoon gains flying until end of turn.
Displays of Voldaren bloodlust are not restricted to glorious banquets and lavish parties.
2/2
The green and black bears are telling the new red bear to fuck off.

TMBRLZ if we go after your description, you won't be able to play arround a counter spell. If you really go off turn 3 with Goryos vengence you have two options: Play the enchantment in your mainphase and go off - which can be stoped by a counterspell or a removal spell, or wait till after the combat to wait for removal (but you can't attack).
If you choose to go into your combat step, you can hope that your opponent makes a mistake by killing Niv before "declare attackers". If he chooses to not kill him there, you're in the same situation than before, because you can't attack, since your combo would stop working.
you also can't go off in his turn because Niv would die at the end of turn.
Correct me please if I'm missing something.
July 7, 2016 11:40 a.m. Edited.
I don't attack with Niv...?
I just tap him.
Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
Being recurred with Goryo's Vengeance gives Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind haste. Use his activated ability with Curiosity attached for infinite triggers and win.
And I can go off on his turn. I could go off at the beginning of combat if I felt like it, after my opponent tapped out for precombat main spells.

She should be topless for the greater distraction of the Champion's opponent.
July 7, 2016 12:37 p.m.
I like the lighter emphasis on her scartoos. The super emphasized ones with her creepy smiles are just really awkward.

HOLY BALLS! Sigarda's Blessing is an incredibly fun and potentially powerful card!
July 7, 2016 1:21 p.m.
Wizards, it sure would be swell if you stopped giving support to one of maybe 4 decks that didn't need it.
At least they're trying to help blue out, even if it bends the color pie. Aside from giving them a good card draw spell, of course.
July 7, 2016 1:36 p.m.
ducttapedeckbox says... #36
Just remember DarkLaw, blue could get 1 playable for every 3 in any other color and people would still complain about it more than most things.
I really like how they used blue's association with the moon/tides/stuff to turn something into a colorless source. I think it's an effect that we don't normally see in general so it feels weird, but doesn't necessarily bend the color pie.
Blue did get some love with Summary Dismissal as it now has a way to deal with on-cast abilities. Unsubstantiate is also cool. But I'm not sure that blue will find much of a place in the GW format. One can only hope.

One of deez days... BANG! ZOOM! Straight to da moon!!

Blue's place in Format: GW is to enable the Bant version of the GW deck.
July 7, 2016 2:13 p.m.
@ducttapedeckbox: I'm honestly not sure who complains more: blue players because they're not getting the cards they want, or non-blue players complaining that blue is too strong when it does get strong cards lol.
July 7, 2016 2:17 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #40
And then you have everybody complaining about the fact that green and white have gotten good synergistic cards for the past 2 sets...
July 7, 2016 2:21 p.m.
has seen some really unique stuff this set as far as directly interacting with spells on the stack instead of just using counterspells to remove them.
You've also got [Spell Queller] along with the cards ducttapedeckbox mentioned. 
will definitely be strong in this new Standard. Curious why 
seems to be getting substantially less love.
July 7, 2016 2:32 p.m.
nobu_the_bard says... #42
Did some checking. Not sure if this constitutes less love? Red has never had a 2/2 for 
that didn't have a downside (some like Mage-Ring Bully do come with a compensating upside). However they have never had a vanilla bear before. I didn't know that.
Green, white, and black have like a million vanilla ones, and tons all-upside ones. Blue has only a handful of comparable creatures that mostly have what would be considered downsides (though some would be situationally convenient).

well stunning growth can put a damped on my Jhoira edh deck. Unless I just counter it, hahahahaha

Linkdude74 says... #45
black prob hasn't really had love because of the domination of the devotion deck.
July 7, 2016 3:22 p.m.
Still, it needs a little love. The two best colors at combating the G/W Tokens deck need to get off their butts lol. Give Black and Red a little love so we can stop seeing Bant and Selesnyian domination.
July 7, 2016 3:26 p.m.
Linkdude74 says... #47
Oh I love black and want some more for it, though I like black blue better :P
July 7, 2016 3:28 p.m.
So how come spoiled cards have not been added like in the past?

Sigarda's Blessing
W
Enchantment
You may cast Aura and Equipment spells as though they had flash.
Whenever an Equipment enters the battlefield under your control, you may attach it to target creature you control.
Illus. Howard Lyon
This is just a lovely card for any equipment/aura's deck.
Insane 2 for 1 benefits for just 1 cmc.
