Wow! Either this is the only common with emerge or there are few enough to not use up all the red-flags they allow themselves (20% of commons, I believe,) OR they are relaxing on CMC as a red flag.Nich Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686832423418814443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-58553779574069929412016-06-28T15:27:53.265-04:002016-06-28T15:27:53.265-04:00Extort, used twice in the review, should be exploi...Extort, used twice in the review, should be exploit, yes?Nich Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686832423418814443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-10311686329909489222016-06-28T14:30:31.872-04:002016-06-28T14:30:31.872-04:00I also think it's important to note that Emerg...I also think it's important to note that Emerge serves a very vital role in an Eldrazi set - it lets them make massive big dudes without having to worry about being able to cast those dudes normally. A {7} creature in a normal Limited set is very tough to make playable; but when you give it a cost-reduction mechanic, then you'll get the feeling of casting huge creatures, without the inconvenience or warping of a format.<br /><br />In addition, sacrificing to cast a large Eldrazi monstrosity captures both a feeling of 'transformation', and/or a feeling of you being some mad cultist. For example, if you sacrifice a Gryff to this, that's transformation; if you sacrifice a Human, that's some eldritch rites.<br /><br />I love this mechanic, and its flavor, and its role. It is perfect for the set.Inanimatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739701478436262740noreply@blogger.com
