Bearer of the Heavens

Creature — Giant

When Bearer of Heaven dies, destroy all permanents at the beginning of the next end step.

Keldon Firebombers can be good. But I would rather it also destroy artifacts and creatures. For this deck, I think the more it can reset the board, the better. I actually used to have four land destruction cards in the deck: Jokulhaups, Devastation, Obliterate, and Bearer of the Heavens.

But since I have so many draw and search cards in the deck, I'm actually able to very consistently obtain a land wipe. After many games, I've noticed that I would often end up with two or more MLD in my hand. At that point, the excess were just duds. So I decided to remove Devastation and Bearer of the Heavens to make room for cheaper cards that were more useful. After lowering the average CMC, I was also able to put in more non land cards. Which I also felt made it better.

I've looked at your deck, and I think it's VERY good. I especially liked the combos you have in the deck. My deck doesn't really have too many permanents that are sac outlets, so I probably wouldn't be using those specific combos. Which I'm ok with, since I like keeping +1 counters on my creatures to prep for a MLD.

It's just a different way of winning. But again, very good job on the Marchesa deck!

@FormOverFunction: Note that Worldfire was printed in the set immediately before Return to Ravnica (the earliest set allowed in the newer Pioneer format), and later on, Bearer of the Heavens was printed in the second-to-last set with "Modern" frames.

These are hardly "older cards" in the context in which you speak. Or in other words: wrong era for that argument. The OP is discussing late-Modern-era cards of 9~11 years ago, not the sometimes insane cards that came out of the mid-90's; 25~30 years ago..

Mythologically speaking, Atlas (who Bearer of the Heavens is based on, was literally turned into Mountains (the Atlas mountain range in northern Africa), so there's your top-down connection with .

The Worldfire one is most likely portraying an apocalyptic inferno, burning away everything in existence down to ashes. When the world itself is burning, no graveyard will survive. The flavor text mentions it started as "the smallest spark" and recklessly consuming all with no heed for your surroundings or the future, does sound like the ultimate expression of the red philosophy, mechanical card implications be damned! Burn those to a crisp too!

At least that's my interpretation :P

I believe that both Worldfire and Bearer of the Heavens are color pie breaks, because both of them do things that red is not supposed to do: i.e., they both allow red to destroy creatures, enchantments, and planeswalkers (red is not supposed to be able to destroy enchantments and is supposed to deal with creatures and planeswalkers via damage, not outright destruction) and Worldfire interacts with zones in ways that red does not typically interact (i.e., red is not supposed to exile cards from hands and graveyards, nor does it directly interact with life totals outside of dealing damage). If Bearer of the Heavens was white, it would have been perfectly acceptable, so I feel that it is a very weird oversight that it is red, although I am not certain what colors that Worldfire would need to be in order for it to be in-color; red/black would cover everything except for exiling enchantments, while black/white would allow for all effects, but would not make sense from a flavor perspective, being styled as a fire-based spell.

What does everyone else say about this? Are Worldfire and Bearer of the Heavens color pie breaks?

plakjekaas, I very much believe that Worldfire is a break, since it does multiple things that red is not supposed to do, and I also believe that Bearer of the Heavens should have been white, not red, since its effect is perfectly in-pie for white, but not for red.

Have you considered Soul-Scar Mage? This will not only give them Wither, it will practically make most of your instants, sorceries and activated abilities board wipes once All Will Be One enters the battlefield.

May I also recommend cards that don't target including, but not limited to Anger of the Gods, Blazing Volley and Scouring Sands to get around cards that grant some sort of Hexproof, Protection, Shroud and/or Ward?

Plus, with all the looting going on you may want to consider cards with Flashback(including, but not limited to Increasing Vengeance, Past in Flames and Seize the Storm) and Madness(including, but not limited to, Avacyn's Judgment and Fiery Temper).

Other cards to consider are Bearer of the Heavens(if you're feeling really spiteful), Burning Anger and Toralf, God of Fury  Flip.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

I have a friend who plays Bearer of the Heavens for Kalemne Giants. Should I throw in something like Karn Liberated or Scour from Existence?

Seconding TypicalTimmy here, if you're not using it in the majority of games, then I would scale back all besides the most useful of the cards. Unless land destruction is your decks thing, then drop at least 2 of the 4 (Devastation and Bearer of the Heavens would be my first choices)
