Wistfulness Though Wistfulness has only been out a short while, it has crept into many formatsStandard, Modern, even Legacy all want cheap artifact/enchantment disruption that becomes a threat and card selection later
And by the by, the next card in my countdown also feels inspired by Recruiter of the Guard and Imperial Recruiter as well, cough cough
While you could argue that the Paladin is cheaper, Nahiris affinity means youll rarely cast it for the full 6 mana, and it does an exceptional job cheating command tax since every turn you control Nahiri increases the number of equipment you control
The goal for a third set in a continuous block, meaning one that doesn't have a mechanical break in the third set, la Rise of the Eldrazi or Avacyn Restored , is to withhold something that players want that will provide a large enough twist
Of note, if Theros: Beyond Death features a return of the devotion mechanic or something similar, these qualities of Ayara could become as much a benefit as a cost
Offering combo potential and graveyard shenanigans, this card looks great
