DaggerV - where, I see no other thread. :/It seems great. it fogs for it's plus 1 shutting down any non-control deck. It's -1 is explore (very handy) and it's +5 is I get a 9/9 each of my end steps. Basically, instantly going in my Simic Deck

@Ultimaodin, it only shuts down one creature, so it's actually great at shutting down control decks (AEtherling ) becuase they usually only have one creature to kill you.

Ohhh my god. This beast if for sure going in my Simic Biovisionary deck, not even interested in the ult.

How does she even touch AEtherling ? +1 targeting him, ok, cool. Before EOT exile him, now he's a different permanent. Next turn. Swing 8.

I think AEtherling will probably go back to Esper's main bomb again XD
I've looked a bit closer at Kiora and I feel her starting loyalty is making her suffer. if she were a 3 loyalty she'd be a significantly bigger threat. You'd get 3 explores for 4 mana, or 3 turns to her ulti. In simic by turn 7/8 (depending if ramp) you don't have a creature comparable to a 9/9 you're playing Simic wrong... admittedly playing simic wrong is rather easy to do. (as I stated in that pseudo article ages back)
I honestly also thought her +1 was initially a full on Fog (misread her due to to much happiness over a simic planeswalker). I suppose that would have made her too powerful but I feel a starting loyalty of 2 would have been okay then.

Ultimaodin Starting loyalty would hardly matter if it was a full fog because the only things that could take her out would be Dreadbore and Hero's Downfall . I think she's fairly appropriate, though I doubt she'll see any play.

I honestly think she'd be good in a simic control build. It would be easy to protect her with counter spells and Simic Charm. Unfortunately I'm not a control player and that extra turn of possible death by Hero's Downfall make's her less plausible for me. Also Lightning Strike, Mizzium Mortars would kill her as well.

Ultimaodin, I think Lightning Strike and Mizzium Mortars can't target planeswalkers.
December 26, 2013 10:38 a.m.
@JogandoPelado well, Not Mizzium Mortars because that only targets creatures, but Lightning Strike targets players, which you can then redirect to Planeswalkers they control.

Dalektable- I think the new Ajani will most likely be Selsenya.
