Wilds of Eldraine is practically Pioneer Masters, but it has great new cards for Modern as well.īeseech the Mirror has players dreaming of combos as far back as Legacy, and Up the Beanstalk is a dark horse contender for a Modern format full of free Elementals and cost reduction effects. Season 19, Episode 2: Wilds of Eldraine Full Set Review, Part 2 of 2Ĭavedan and David go hog wild in a 3-hour finale to our Full Set Review. Is Beseech going to be a $75 dollar flop, or will we get more than we bargained for?ĭavid’s Yorion Fires Beseech Pact Foretold Cavedan and Lawson put their heads together to review eight new homes for Beseech the Mirror, to separate the truth from the hype. David has some ideas in Pioneer (hint: they involve Demonic Pact), while Modern players have taken a more brute force approach in decks like Oops All Spells. But making this cheaper Bring to Light variant work in smaller formats is a trickier task. What does all this mean for the early darling of preview season, Beseech the Mirror? The card is certainly powerful, as first week wins in Legacy and even Vintage can attest. In Pioneer, Sleight of Hand is making early moves, and there’s so much left to explore. Meanwhile, strange things are brewing in Agatha’s Soul Cauldron, with multiple known archetypes already picking up the artifact successfully, and dozens of more suspicious combos bubbling up besides. In Modern, Hot Ring Summer is drawing to a close, and players now clambering Up the Beanstalk to unlock endless value. The first week of results with Wilds of Eldraine is in the books.

(Hello, Tree of Perdition.)ĭavid is brewing up a storm in Pioneer and he’s already snagged his first 5-0 trophy with Spiteful Hexmage (which, incidentally, was also the first recorded 5-0 trophy with Setessan Champion since the Trump administration). We can “hide” the Cursed Role on a 1/1 creature, or even use it to upgrade a 0/0 creature. We can count the game objects, using Spiteful Hexmage to power Celebration or Regal Bunnicorn. The possibilities are endless: we can enchantments-matter or auras-matter effects to gain advantage, or sacrifice the token to pay a cost, or even straight-up replace the token with a different Role. The brewer’s gears are turning this week as we seek to turn a liability into an advantage, cashing in our Cursed Role for fun and profit and unlocking a black Wild Nacatl in the process. The only catch? One of them is a Cursed Role, which is ostensibly a drawback. Spiteful Hexmage is a beautiful puzzle, offering two fresh permanents on an above-rate creature at the cheapest possible price. Is there anything more beautiful than a game object? Rectangle theory is back in full force this week with our favorite 1 drop from Wilds of Eldraine.
