M14 Spoilers: Savage Summoning
Standard forum

I see this being a card that is very heavily abused in many formats. For one green, you get:
- Instant Speed
- The spell itself is uncounterable
- The next creature spell you play has flash
- That creature cannot be countered
- It comes in with a +1+1 counter
...Why is it only a rare? I see this being the heart of a lot of Standard decks post-rotation.
P.S. I think M14 is trying to slow down the meta, which is pretty good. It's a bit too fast right now. Just about every mythic/rare is 4/5+ CMC, and the uncommons are barely an exception.
Leave your thoughts below.
The only deck I can see running "Savage Summoning" is an Animar, Soul of Elements EDH deck, so the Commander can be cast right before your turn, and enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter... giving you a bonus right away.
Beyond that, it's possibly a sideboard against control... but just not worth filling up the deck space to be in Mainboard.

I just noticed: Savage Summoning ->Zhur-Taa Ancient Yeah Mana Me Baby!
Likely still not standard viable as it's too slow, but think of the look of shock. Lol
