Yeah I was a backer at the same tier. I flipped my account sometime after set 2 released for like triple the investment because it was apparent the game was going nowhere good.

So like... is this legit? Where can I find a buyer? Because I have the pro player account that I haven't touched in like 6 months cause the cards are all boring as gently caress and limited sucks.

...my greatest work yet.
Is providence a wacky one-of or will it be a cycle? I'm hard pressed to think what the others might do.

Also note that the 26 life is double the 13 that continues as a theme throughout the block.

Spirit sure is valuable for the ability to save the heavily played werewolf tribe from the near ubiquitous damage based removal in standard right now

Providence is a very weird card that I'd probably play in Wx limited control decks and nowhere else, ever

That Wolf Spirit is no Wolfir Avenger.

The 26 life spell I don't know how to react to. If there's a burn deck in Kaladesh Standard (not likely), you could sideboard four of these in and... make their kill strategy take a turn longer? A good Standard burn deck theoretically will kill by what, turn 5? So you need to really race against the clock to land a seven mana spell to steal the game from that deck that probably won't exist. It could be a decent sideboard card.

burn decks tend to not have like, any reach so 6 extra life is usually more then a turn

Providence seems like one of those cards that has some weird edge case where it goes in some super broken deck in Modern/Legacy/Vintage and does nothing else.

Thus I approve of it.

Yeah I guess you could potentially go Gemstone Mine or Spirit Guides into some rits into Ad Nauseum or Plunge into Darkness with a free 20 life but it just doesn't seem reliable enough to be good. I don't know of any other ways to make free mana at instant speed, so unless you're going gemstone mine you're going to need at least one manamorphose to go off, and this all needs to be in your opener or it doesn't do anything.

Choose one or more -
* Target player discards all cards in his or her hand, then draws that many cards.
* United Resistance deals 4 damage to target creature.
* United Resistance deals 3 damage to target opponent.

2RR for 4 to a creature + 3 to your opponent seems pretty decent, even before you get to the replacing excess lands with real cards. More of this sort of thing and red might actually be playable.

A legendary mythic rare seems like an odd place to pay homage to an uncommon spell known for being featured in a limited-only deck full of lastpick commons.

It also seems to be pretty bad in limited for a mythic, unless the delirium deck is already good.

E: it kills the new mini baneslayer, I bet that's why this isn't at a lower rarity.

They've been waiting for a spot to make a GB Spider legend because commander players keep asking for one, so they decided to spend one of their "crappy mythic" slots on it
