Re: Essentials
Alara Reborn stuff that comes to mind...
Anathemancer - Great late game draw, can come back if drawn early to finish someone
Behemoth Sledge - Armadillo cloak without the inherent drawback of the 2 for 1
Dauntless Escort - saves the team vs. wrath and most other board wipes
Deathbringer Thoctar - same ability as the vulture, but can function as removal as well
Enigma Sphinx - big enough to cascade into bombs, big enough to be a threat
Jenara, Asura of War - mana sink and good size to begin with
Lavalanche - fireball + controlled board wipe...this sucks to be on the recieving end of
Lightning Reaver - gets killed as soon as it gets a counter
Lord of Extinction - really big and scary but needs trample or some other oomph...
Maelstrom Nexus - Cascading everything sounds good to me
Maelstrom Pulse - NO. It gets splash damage to kill your good stuffs too
Mage Slayer - Remember the guys that used to do this? Now you can do it with good creatures
Necromancers Covenant - great late game draw, but terrible after any of the timetwister type things we play
Predatory Advantage - don't laugh, this one is one of those things that look bad until you see it sit in a 3-5 player game and make a horde
Qasali Pridemage - duh...
Sen Triplets - it's like mindslaver, but more fun. Dies way faster too...
Slave of Bolas - another way to steal guys to block and kill
Soul Manipulation - maybe good enough, but I'm not sold on it
Sphinx of the Steel Wind - robo akroma anyone?
Trace of abundance - seems good, but I don't remember how stable the mana is
Unscythe, Killer of Kings - yay for raising an army from someone elses army
Vengeful Rebirth - overcosted regrowth that is also a bolt or more
Wall of Denial - huge and blocks just about everything
Wargate - finds a guy and drops him into play, but kind of pricy mana wise
Winged Coatl - surprise! your guy is dead
the 5 guys with allied color land cycling should all be there if E. Dragon still makes the cut
Remember, I made this list at 1 am and I think more in terms of EDH than I do for 250 anymore. There are some others that I threw into my deck before I dismantled it for EDH that were just terrible.
