Other Colors


 
khm-159-arachnoform.jpg

arachnoform

Jamie: 5/10tribal will care about this.. otherwise fairly underwhelming, there are 11 flyers in the set

Melvin: Spider-elf, spider-elf. Never ever gets left on a shelf. Can he swing, from a web? Do we care, they’re an elf. Look-out! Here comes spider-elf.

 
khm-160-battle-mammoth.jpg

battle mammoth

Jamie: 7/10 big body that replaces itself when its removed. heck yes.

Melvin: I’m not going to play this because I know Legolas is just going to kill it with two stupid arrows or something and then surf down its back.

 
khm-161-blessing-of-frost.jpg

blessing of frost

Jamie: 6/10- if you spend 4 snow mana on this and get to draw 4 cards, thats magical Christmas Land. It's going to be more like 2 counters and maybe draw 2, which is still fantastic

Melvin: Nothing Cold Can Stay

 
khm-162-blizzard-brawl.jpg

blizzard brawl

Jamie: 7/10 better prey upon in a heavy snow deck

Melvin: WoW! That bear is some kind of Diablo! But the fight isn’t over-watch!

 
khm-163-boreal-outrider.jpg

boreal outrider

Jamie: 7/10 payoff for being in snow but sort of fragile

Melvin: She’s out riding to a stag party.

 
khm-164-broken-wings.jpg

BROKEN WINGs

Jamie: 4/10 sideboard card most likely, there are a ton of targets where this could be main deckable, especially if your deck is weak to flyers

Melvin: How fake! That owl just tucked that spear under its arm and is pretending it got stabbed.

 
khm-165-elderleaf-mentor.jpg

elderleaf mentor

Jamie: 5/10 fine filler, more desireable in a green white go wide deck

Melvin: If you have an elderleaf, is it still appropriate to turn a new one?

 
khm-166-elven-bow.jpg

elven bow

Jamie: 6/10 having reach on a big fattie to protect against flyers is nice

Melvin: Or elven curtsy, or just an elven high five.

 
khm-167-elvish-warmaster.jpg

elvish warmaster

Jamie: 8/10 fantastic in elf tribal.. the pump is a bit expensive but it's on a bear

Melvin: I’m more familiar with the Elvish Omlette-Barmaster.

 
khm-168-esika-god-of-the-tree.jpg

esika, god of the tree

Jamie: 5/10 a mana dork with a big booty, 5 color snow decks will want this, but otherwise not super exciting

Melvin: Her hands are pouring rainbows. Are we sure it’s a tree she’s the god of, and not a certain other notable piece of vegetation?

 
khm-169-esika-s-chariot.jpg

esika’s chariot

Jamie: 8/10 KITTIES! solid stats for 4 mana, plus makes a copy of a token on attack. I wouldn't pass this.

Melvin: The Kaldheim driver service, “Upurr” quickly went bankrupt after people realized using cats was an awful idea.

 
khm-170-fynn-the-fangbearer.jpg

fynn, the fangbearer

Jamie: 6/10 1/3 deathtouch is solid... probably won't win with poision counters.. but with some pump spells and evasion you could live the dream!

Melvin: Poison counters??? I thought we were fynnished with that nonsense.

 
khm-171-glittering-frost.jpg

glittering frost

Jamie: 5/10 3 to 5 color snow decks will want this... otherwise not super worth it just for the ramp

Melvin: All that glitters is not gold. Because it’s frost. Seriously, it’s all frost.

 
khm-172-gnottvold-recluse.jpg

gnottvold recluse

Jamie: 5/10 powerful spider with a tiny butt, there are fewer flyers in this set so I'm not really looking to run this unless I need filler

Melvin: Oh great, Australian cards.

 
khm-173-grizzled-outrider.jpg

grizzled outrider

Jamie: 5/10 big elf! 5/5's are tough to deal with in this set. I'm looking to play 1-2 of these for the top of my curve

Melvin: Together, they quest in search of the fabled “pic-a-nic basket”.

 
khm-174-guardian-gladewalker.jpg

guardian gladewalker

Jamie: 5/10 filler, nice to buff up something and use this as sac fodder?

Melvin: I like this as a changeling, because it makes the gladewalker a plugin to any green deck.

 
khm-175-horizon-seeker.jpg

horizon seeker

Jamie: 5/10 if I'm desperate for fixing I will grab one of these... There are a ton of 2/1's though so expect this to trade down.

Melvin: Or a Verizon Signal Seeker. All this hiking and still no bars.

 
khm-176-icehide-troll.jpg

icehide troll

Jamie: 6/10 snow payoff... attacking with a 4/3 indestructible is going to get annoying for your opponent fairly quickly.

Melvin: Icehide sounds better that frostbutt.

 
khm-177-in-search-of-greatness.jpg

in search of greatness

Jamie: 2/10 no. don't do it. this is not for limited. it's a trap!

Melvin: Is that squirrel going to boop the wolf’s snoot! That’s nuts!

 
khm-178-jaspera-sentinel.jpg

jaspera sentinel

Jamie: 4/10 if I am desperate for fixing or in elves matters wanting some ramp, I would run this. But it's not great!

Melvin: So a sentinel’s job is to keep watch, but they’ll mostly be watching themselves be the last card drafted in every pack.

 
khm-179-jorn-god-of-winter.jpg

jorn, god of winter

Jamie: 8/10 Jorn gets out of control quickly... even untapping a bunch of snow lands and using mana in a mana sink is powerful. The equipment is even more powerful! Obvsiously Want lots of snow permanents to make this work.

Melvin: Was he Jorn to be wild, or Jorn to run free? Maybe it’s Jorney and not the destination.

 
khm-180-king-harald-s-revenge.jpg

king harald’s revenge

Jamie: 4/10 I would be more excited if this was a true lure effect, but the creatures only needs to be blocked by one creature.

Melvin: I had some of that lembas elf bread from a sketchy push cart vendor, and I got King Harald’s Revenge for like three days.

 
khm-181-kolvori-god-of-kinship.jpg

kolvori, god of kinship

Jamie: 5/10 great if you can draft a bunch of legndaries, but that probably won't happen, the artifact is too retrictive for me to want to draft it highly.

Melvin: So a god, a snake, a wolf, and a bear, walk into a bar….

 
khm-182-littjara-glade-warden.jpg

littjara glade-warden

Jamie: 6/10 nice mana sink to have late game, changeling type will help with tribal synergies

Melvin: I’m pretty sure this is a mythic uncommon, so don’t pass it. It’s litt AF.

 
khm-183-mammoth-growth.jpg

mammoth growth

Jamie: 5/10 i'm into this because of foretell... more interested in playing in a deck with a bunch of trample creatures or evasive threats

Melvin: So the internet pills do work!

 
khm-184-masked-vandal.jpg

masked vandal

Jamie: 6/10 late game get ride of an artifact or enchantment is solid

Melvin: Why do shapeshifters need to wear masks?

 
khm-185-old-growth-troll.jpg

old-growth troll

Jamie: 8/10 triple green is tough but this is a LOT of value for that cost. Big troll with trample, and if dies, becomes another big troll with trample. I'm in.

Melvin: If the growth gets too much, he can just use Axe body spray.

 
khm-186-path-to-the-world-tree.jpg

path to the world tree

Jamie: 6/10 fixing for 3+ color decks, and with duals it's not too tough to activate.

Melvin: The line looks pretty long on that path. Is there any way I can get a fast pass to the world tree?

 
khm-187-ravenous-lindwurm.jpg

ravenous lindwurm

Jamie: 6/10 love me 6/6's for 6 that gain life. This is a pain to deal with. I'm looking for 1-2 of these for my top end in green, and with a bit of ramp, you're opponents will be saying OH NO

Melvin: I really enjoy lindwurm truffles. Or is that something else?

 
khm-188-realmwalker.jpg

realmwalker

Jamie: 6/10 powerful effect but will need to draft a lot of the same creature type for this to truly shine. 8-10 of the same creature would make this FANTASTIC.

Melvin: Please take note of the creepy giant head statues in the background of the art.

 
khm-189-rootless-yew.jpg

rootless yew

Jamie: 6/10 this is bff's with Ravenous Lindwurm... a big threat that finds another big threat is solid

Melvin: Yew love to see it.

 
khm-190-roots-of-wisdom.jpg

roots of wisdom

Jamie: 5/10 this is mill 3 draw 1 no matter what. probably filler unless you have some killer elves you are wanting to return from your graveyard.

Melvin: The wisdom is not drafting this card or playing it.

 
khm-191-rune-of-might.jpg

rune of might

Jamie: 5/10 replaces itself right away and pumps the creature... putting this on a 6/6 would be great.

Melvin: Might be good.

 
khm-192-sarulf-s-packmate.jpg

sarulf’s packmate

Jamie: 7/10 I want to draft as many of these as possible! Value!

Melvin: Okay, who gave the wolf a vape pen?

 
khm-193-sculptor-of-winter.jpg

sculptor of winter

Jamie: 5/10 ramp in snow

Melvin: Honestly, she’s pretty happy if she gets to sculpt anything that’s not a swan for bar mitzvahs.

 
khm-194-snakeskin-veil.jpg

snakeskin veil

Jamie: 5/10 being able to give hexproof for 1 green mana is solid

Melvin: If you’ve already got the boots and the belt, a snakeskin veil is a nice use of the leftovers.

 
khm-195-spirit-of-the-aldergard.jpg

spirit of the aldergard

Jamie: 6/10 snow payoff, this can get pretty powerful with a ton of snow lands and snow creatures. Also fixing for the 3+ color snow decks.

Melvin: The spirit was known to roam the woods, searching for the small boy that left him there years ago, along with the pig, the owl, and the rabbit, which he subsequently ate.

 
khm-196-struggle-for-skemfar.jpg

struggle for skemfar

Jamie: 6/10 decent removal especially with the foretell

Melvin: It’s okay, you can kiss.

 
khm-197-toski-bearer-of-secrets.jpg

toski, bearer of secrets

Jamie: 8/10 this with some evasive creatures can get out of control quickly. I like drawing cards!

Melvin: Look at this cute little peanut, with his pistachio fur and hazel eyes. Indestructible makes him a tough little walnut too. I’d probably pine pretty hard if I had to pass this little pecan.

 
khm-198-tyvar-kell.jpg

tyvar kell

Jamie: 9/10 building an army of deathtouch elves is pretty terrifying... unsurprisingly, the ult will just end the game. Planeswalkers, am I right?

Melvin: “My abs are so sexy, I’m legally required to cover them in public.”

 
khm-199-vorinclex-monstrous-raider.jpg

vorinclex, monstrous raider

Jamie: 9/10 6/6 trample haste is enough of a threat, more counters is just icing on the cake.

Melvin: Ask your doctor about Vorinclex.
