What Magic is in Store for 2014?
June 16, 2013 by dracs
Next month will be an exciting time for all of my fellow planeswalkers for Magic 2014 Core Set will be bringing us all new goodies to play with. The card image gallery is up on Wizards and I have picked out a couple of favourites.
First let's start with the ones everyone is excited about, the return of the Slivers.
Slivers are so very nasty to come up against, each one giving the others bonuses to make them even more formidable. They do seem to have one fault though as to make the most of Slivers you probably need ones from different colours, forcing you to spread the land cards of your deck out.
Slivers are not the only things to fear. Here are some of the other cards which leapt out at me.
All extremely powerful cards. However, the one which I think will be most useful isn't quite as powerful in its effect.
Needing only one to cast this provides green decks with a bit of tactical sneakiness and speed. This would be best used during an opponent's attack phase, allowing to summon a deadly monster in to block just when they thought your defences were down.
Are there any cards in this set you think will be cool? Do you have a tactic for dealing with Sliver decks?

From those Savage Summoning is defenetly most potential one but Awaken the Ancient seems to be nice for aggressive red decks. Archangel of Thune seems to be decent but I have seen more mana effective angel before this one. Those other cards how ever have high mana costs and I would only use Jace’s Mindseeker from those and only in blue mill deck so that one has limited use.
It could be a real fun challenge to boosterdraft a two or three colour sliver deck
