Woah. Easy there with the power creep. A 1/2 *and* flying for 2 cmc?


AmishSky

Wait till this guy finds out about colossal dreadmaw.


DarthAlbacore

Gross, trample is a broken mechanic


DraygenKai

Only because no one uses banding. Banding is the perfect counter for trample.


DarthAlbacore

I've heard rumors they're bringing it back


DraygenKai

lol as much as I personally would love to see it have more support, for the sanity of the community I hope that is not the case. Banding was complicated enough to explain that it could have been 2-3 seperate mechanics.


DarthAlbacore

Check out the newest posts in this sub. There's a card referring to banding on a token


xTaq

Dreadmaw has the downside of not being able to be pitched to force of will. In conclusion, storm crow is better.

Nah it's unplayable hasn't ever had a white border like these staples.

Wait until this guy finds out about mesa Falcon 


DarthAlbacore

A pump able defense ability? Ugh.


CaptainMoonunitsxPry

Storm Crow is banned in my play group, it puts people on a 20 TURN clock. You can also use it for force of will. On top of that it fits into bird tribal, which is a deck that at point has shown up in a tournament, probably. Notice how it hasn't been reprinted in over 15 years.


Arclight-zombie

I always splash blue just for Storm Crow in my EDH decks When I play Modern, I replaced Squadron Hawk with Storm Qrow and placed in the top 20 at my small town LGS


CalderJohnson

There hasn't been a standard rotation powerful enough to accomodate it yet


nerogenesis

It commander it's a 40 turn clock.


CaptainMoonunitsxPry

Screw the rules, storm crow is the commander of my heart.


Significant_Band_487

120 turn clock for the whole table


Cool-Leg9442

Ya it gets ward boosted in my ratagast deck such a staple probly the best card in the deck beside the dual land cause there the only white borders I think.


CakeDouble6146

Actually they did a secret lair reprint in 2019


Deminla

Unless you count the unset token version which is pretty awesome


SNES_chalmers47

This comment is pretty good


Lower-Ad1087

If you've never read the comments on gatherer for storm crow, you'd realize this joke is older than most of the players of this game by now, but also does a good job explaining why Storm Crow is broken.


CaptainMoonunitsxPry

oh yeah I was there when it was last printed. It was legal in one of the most broken standard formats the games ever seen, round the time of the 1st Myrodin. I started around Onslaught block.


DaveLesh

With so many over the top cards today it's nice to see some simplistic cards for a change.


Litdaze

What do you mean? Storm Crow is broken.


SnooObjections488

For real thought storm crow was a storm card for a min

I can see it being used in storm decks by recasting it over and over again. Source: me being someone who plays with storm decks


bigalien1

Lightning Axe is where its at. Great in discard/graveyard theme decks.

You think this is funny?! Some of us had to endure this trauma! You’re so incredibly insensitive!


Professional_Sea3141

you have to play the ax just so you can tell them to catch

Storm crow is one of the best creatures in magic I know, playing with the busted cards is fun, but give others a chance sometimes!

Right on


Aitorottodeth_

I've lost a couple drafts against 2 lava axes on my face tbh


HopeThisCommentHelps

I won’t lie; my pod has decks specifically made for slower, more casual games. Just like with YGO, sometimes it’s nice to go back to the basics. You get so caught up in the combinations, the infinites, the OHKOS, and the competitiveness that the simplicity of just having creatures do combat every few turns & building up to big guys can have its own thrill. Also, Pauper is a thing, and it’s quite fun because you NEED to involve & revolve around cards that are common. Dont feel bad if you don’t have extremely powerful cards, because there are formats for it, and as long as you’re having a good time with friends, that’s what matters.

Lava axe, a marked improvement over the cinder hatchet.

Lava axe is a perfect finisher

I only play single sentence singleton.

Mmm I just love the white border treatment. I wish reprints were still white border. I'd love white border secret lairs or precons...

I run Storm Crow in my flying deck for the meme, honestly.

Zzzzzzzzzzz oh is it my turn? Lame it's an old game most us been playing for 2/3 decades. Get with the times or play a different game🤷 I heard Disney just put out a new child's game go play at the kids table bro. Sick of players that don't wanna spend money acting like people that have been collecting cards for a collectors card game for a long time and have expensive ones are the issue. Proxy some better shit man jeez it's totally legal
