I competed in MCVII, day 2'ed some paper tourneys, and like to sneak away to play 75% commander. The card has value because of T2/ Extended where the card is by comparison much more powerful. I play Natural Order in Supreme Blue so I wouldn't really consider playing a sorcery speed three mana removal spell, but I could see it fitting in the spot of Rhox War Monk. Hi, I'm Eli (pronounced Ellie), and I am a podcaster, avid arena player, and streamer. Maelstrom Pulse in CounterTop seems pretty meh to me. They may not be the flashiest cards ever printed, but they sure do get their jobs done. I have a lot of nostalgia for both of these cards. The price tag may be low, but these are the cards that players often want to buy in multiples. Utility cards that aren't high-end are an underrated part of sets like Double Masters. Maelstrom pulse will certainly be effective against any token deck should one present itself. However, this card will certainly be useful in any ramp or aristocrat based strategy. It's hard to say exactly what the limited landscape of this set will be. Sacrificing a creature for one mana may not be that impactful, but if it also draws you a card and puts a +1/+1 counter on your commander, well now you're cooking with grease. While Korvold has probably become the Jund sacrifice deck, Awakening Zone is a great include here as well. I personally had this in my Shattergang Brothers EDH deck as a source of mana and a constant supplier of throwaway creatures. You will see if often in Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, and Meren of Clan Nel Toth. It is an auto include in every sacrifice based EDH deck that can run it. While it sees no eternal format play that I'm aware of, it is a great EDH card. That being said, its still found in over 4500 EDH decks according to .Īwakening Zone has sort of the reverse story of Maelstrom Pulse. It being sorcery speed is also a hit on its playability. While Pulse also sees play in EDH, it has much stiffer competition for BG removal spells, such as Assassin's Trophy and Putrefy. Although I haven't played jund in five years, pulse is still has a home in the main deck of many Jund decks. An often played Jund card in modern, it has saved me more than once against a flock lingering souls. Maelstrom Pulse has seen its time in the sun. Without further ado, say hello to Maelstrom Pulse and Awakening Zone! I've always really enjoyed preview season, so it feels great to be a part of it from the other side!ĭespite the discourse surrounding this set, there are a lot of cards to be excited about from needed reprints to box topper alternate arts. Thank you to Wizards for the free previews. I've made it to the big leagues with not one but two previews of Magic's newest Premium product, Double Masters.
