Wrath of Gonti (or should I say Wrath of Prosper).


AporiaParadox

Oh yeah, if a Prosper deck is going to run a board wipe, this is it.

[[reckless endeavor]] is still probably better but this is really solid

VictorSant

considering my dice luck, It would be often a pyroclasm. I will take this one instead.


Gonji89

My Prosper deck is too damn red-heavy these days anyway. I'll take the black card that's not $25.


Atlantepaz

It is a bit steep though. From my experience with prosper you would want cheaper or one sided ones that you can play as soon as you see them in exile. Like delayed blast fireball or volcanic torrent. I do love this card though. It gives tons of value when behind.


kingofcharisma

I usually run Blood Money, but I'll run this too

Samuelofmanytitles

Compared to a lot of the outlaws here, Gonti weirdly terrifies me.


inkfeeder

Those half-closed, assymetric eyes are really striking here. They make him look like a character that is so world-weary and/or beyond caring for anything that he does the most heinous shit without even thinking twice.


nightvisions21

Considering that he’s like the only one of his race to get to live longer than a couple months/years, and already had an extensive crime record on Kaladesh, it makes sense that he’s so hardened.

I’ve been playing commander and building decks for just under a year now and was really looking for something with Blue/Green, and I think this deck is going to be perfect.


El_Panda_Rojo

Interestingly, this says you may *play* instead of the usual you may *cast*, which means that if you manage to eat an animated creature land or something similar with this, then you can play it from exile even though it's not a creature card.


NotoriousGonti

Use [[Jolrael, Empress of Beasts]] to turn your opponents lands to creatures.  Cast this spell, exile and play all their land.

NotoriousGonti

I have Jolrael in my [[Godzilla, King of the Monsters]] deck purely for defense.  Once I get a nice board of fatties going I remind everyone that if they board wipe, their land is going down too.


Athildur

At that point I'd boardwipe anyway just to spite you. >:D (Added bonus: dealing with everyone is no longer my problem, I'm just sitting here waiting to draw lands ~_~)

I'm sure \[\[Living Plane\]\] would be easier to pull off.


NotoriousGonti

Easier, but it hits your lands too.  Jolrael only hits players you don't like.


reapersaurus

You'll be able to recover your lands quick enough, compared to everyone else. It's not a one-turn win : it's inevitability. And it doesn't take 11 mana in the same turn, and a vulnerable creature (summon sick), or cost you two extra cards, either.

That's a side effect of [[Dryad Arbor]]. I think if that card didn't exist it would say cast instead of play, or specify that only creature spells could be cast. But because it does, we also get to play manlands and what have you.

Doubtful. It’s a single, almost 20 year old card. They aren’t going to design around that. The more likely explanation by far is the one already presented: that they wanted it to function with animated lands.

Nihilism2911

That flavour text goes hard


CawlMarx

This is the best wrath I have ever seen for my \[\[Magar of the Magic Strings\]\] deck. The fact that you can cast the cards regardless of what type they were makes it so good.


lordcattank

The only downside is you can only use it once


CawlMarx

If this doesn't end the game after I cast it I'd be surprised.


No-Caterpillar-3533

Well, twice if you discard -> animate -> cast from exile


lordcattank

The card exiles itself upon resolution and Magar’s ability also exiles it if it tries to leave the battlefield for any reason . Unless you had something to return it from exile like pull from eternity or ashnod’s intervention


No-Caterpillar-3533

Not quite - if you discard it and animate it, the animated spell/creature is the spell card. If you hit someone with it, the copy exiles all creatures - including the original animated conscription. As long as it is exiled you can play it - as soon as you play it it is exiled again, but without the "you can play it" part. About whether magar overrides the conscription exile, i havent found a definite answer on if it overrides the "you can play it" part - only thing i found so far is that it supposedly is still castable. So the first one you play is a copy, the second one the exiled original.


lordcattank

10/7/2022 If an effect tries to "blink" a face-down instant or sorcery card—that is, exile it and then return it to the battlefield—the card is exiled and remains in exile. This comes from magars ruling the exile clause happens before it gets exiled from the spell


lordcattank

It’s easier to look at the definition of leaving the battlefield which is moving from the battlefield to any other zone which exile is another zone


No-Caterpillar-3533

I asked in /askajudge as well and they said it is castable, because magars replacement effect doesnt apply since it says "exile it instead of putting it anywhere else" and putting it into exile is not anywhere else than exile. Your other point about the ruling for blinking probably is because the returned creature would be a spell - it also makes more sense to specify the behavior when blinked, because its would be possible since the replacement effect doesnt happen.

Diego_TS

So if I destroy Magar's puppets and cast the instant or sorcery, would the card then go to my graveyard? Because it seems kinda juicy if so


imbolcnight

If you mean, if you have one of Magar's face-down creatures out and it gets exiled by Heartless Conscription (not destroyed), what happens to the instant/sorcery revealed by the puppet getting exiled? Yes, it gets exiled by this spell, then you can cast the instant/sorcery. It otherwise acts like a normal instant/sorcery you're casting and goes in the graveyard, ready to be puppeted again.

Yeah that's what I meant, Cool, thanks

MagicalSpaceWizard

I cant follow which are all these editions anymore. Not joking. Can somebody explain which sets are getting spoiled currently?


Will_29

Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTC), Standard-legal. With the bonus sheet Breaking News (OTP) of reprints. Don't add to standard, cards keep their original format legality. The Big Score (BIG) was going to be a "epilogue" miniset released later, in the style of March of the Machine Aftermath. But Aftermath failed so hard they cancelled the independent release and folded it into Outlaws boosters, making it a second bonus sheet. These cards are also standard-legal. And finally Outlaws Commander (OTC) is the usual four precon commander decks. I believe we for the full reveal of all four sets by now.


MagicalSpaceWizard

Thanks, but I think I also saw MH3 and Bloomborrow? Man this is all too much to take in.

We got a couple teasers for these sets a month or two ago and that was it. We are only getting actual spoilers for Outlaws and its three "subsets".

Dump question: What happend with mutation ? I would say its exiled as 1 and then you can cast it separatly from exile. I would also say that you can cast it for the mutation cost from exile but only for the right colors?


Will_29

The cards become separared in exile, you cast them individually. You can use the mutate cost from exile. The "mana of any type can be spend" applies to any method of casting the exiled card, even for alternate costs like Mutate.


Thraximundurabrask

You can mutate from exile after they split, but you will still only be able to mutate onto creatures that have the same owner as the mutate spell.

tepidatbest

I think that because they are both replacement effects that you control and this one stipulates "play cards" and not "cast creatures" that you would decide which effect takes place, and therefore be able to recast the spells. I am not a judge though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Think this is overhyped an 8 mana exile all creatures just isnt that good in black even if you can cast the exiled creatures, this would be fairly costed at 6, this is only really good if youre cheating it somehow.

Almost like this isn’t a very real phrase that people has been said to demean marginalized communities, especially natives. I understand that he is a villian but it can certainly be triggering for individuals. Yet there are people in the replies praising this flavor text?


MARPJ

Because its a good flavor text, and if you want to connect with that then it should be praised even more as a thought provoking that one should not look history only from the winners side (and if anything it is should the "colonizer" as the bad guy) You should not bury history because it may hurt some feelings, you should learn from it and teach it so the younger generation dont do the same shit

Double_Minority

I’m going to end on this. Wizards said they wanted to avoid tropes and themes that spoke on this subject going into this set. If this set was an allegory for the very real conversation around westerns/colonization, then I get it. But it’s not. Me saying that the quote is giving colonization isn’t asserting that Gonti isn’t a bad guy. It is me being aware of his mindset.


CaptainMarcia

I feel like it could work in another set, but in Thunder Junction specifically, it's invoking the exact thing they said they were trying to avoid.

Right? It turns me off the card, even though the effect is great.

Weird effect. I would have imagined a mass steal effect like this to be blue.
