In reply to Jared Elick. Standard foils are a trap

In reply to Kelly Reid. Yeah I moved on my cavern of souls and regret it. It seems like a card that we should always try to have in stock. I plan to start collecting them again. I'm right there with you kelly.

Silverblade Paladin still interest me as a fair spec. I think the aura deck might give it enough interest for it to bounce into the +10 range. Humans are getting more popular in my local meta overall even before the bant aura deck and everyone keeps talking about boros this and boros that. I’m hoping paladin is a fair pickup that eventually levels of at the 12+ range. If they are below 8 I’ve been taking them.

I dont expect Sever to do much, but I do want to point out that it was a) prevalent and b) extremely good, even though it 1) targets and 2) is sorcery.

I just started amassing Caverns last night, and I don’t think I’ll stop until i have a few playsets.

Sever needs/needed to read “destroy any creature” and/or have it be at instant speed for it to be any good.

In reply to Jared Elick.

That\’s a really good price on the wolves. I look at monored as a reasonable budget deck, too.

Sever reminds me a lot of Chainer\’s Edict, where you\’d use the front end and just hope that you\’d get to the back end eventually. I agree with you – if all we\’re looking at is the first casting, a 4-cost removal spell is cumbersome.

I would like Sever, but as the format gets more efficient, a 4-cost removal spell gets worse. Without Wurmcoil Engine, it isn’t as good.

However, I love the Pyreheart Wolf spec. I have 2 playsets of foils, and plan to pick up plenty more. I got the foils at $.40 each.
