[Free article] Gatecrash Vintage set Review

[Smmenen]

While i'm in the habit of linking other people's articles, I might as well link Brian's set review:

I already told Brian this, but aside from the two new Hermit Druid's, he also overlooked Thespian's Stage, which at least deserved mention (in our podcast, though, Kevin and I go over at least a dozen cards).

I like his Show and Tell deck, though.   And I like some of what he's doing with Whispering Madness.  

The first thing I thought of with Whispering Madness was Brian's old Steel City Vault combo, so I thought it was ironic, though, that he didn't go that route.

Do you think Whispering Madness could fit into some sort of new TPS UB shell? (Grim Long, whatever)

I know. Lodestone Golem eats this deck. With the new printings of Gitaxian Probe, Steel Sabotage.. Snapcaster Mage as a Cipher target I think it could be pulled off.

Just think of the possibilities of having basically a free Windfall every turn. Disgusting. The fact that Whispering Madness is a Sorcery seriously hurts its playability that is for sure. If Wizards only made it a Mythic Instant.

I don't buy into Mr. Demars using Whispering Madness on a Basking Rootwalla.

I answer that question in our SMIP podcast, which I think Kevin is still editing to submit.
