Creature — Dog

Whenever Jackal Pup is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to you.

Coward_Token on March of the Machine

1 year ago

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor: Good call, wasn't aware that it was up.

Link for reference

Predictions/takes Show

• A double-faced token (one that transforms): Templating sounds like it'll be wordy e,g. "Create a 1/1 black Phyrexian creature with "B: Transform this creature" that transforms into a 3/3 black Phyrexian Horror creature."

• A card that costs XUUUU: More efficient Mass Manipulation?

• A legendary creature returns not seen since Homelands: Irini Sengir? AFAIK all the other immortals have had reprints, and I could see her teaming up with Daughter of Autumn. For reference. (A much better idea: Vampire Chandler)

• Two draft archetypes that have a creature type matters component (one of which is Phyrexians - see above): Angel?

• The tenth _ & ___ sword: Blue & Black. I was thinking "Oil and Water", but the naming scheme for the ally-colored Swords tend to be complementary rather than contrasting. Dunno either what mechanics they'll use, most seem to have been snatched by the rest.

Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:

• “You may cast spells with flash or flying from the top of your library.”: Some blue-inclusive pairing, can't think of which tho.

• “where X is the excess damage dealt this way.”

• “This spell can’t be copied.”: AFAIK stuff like Isochron Scepter and Mizzix's Mastery can still copy it while it's a card outside of the stack

• “Each player can’t cast more than one non-Phyrexian spell each turn.”: Not a fan of this, feels situationally bad.

• “Whenever a permanent you control transforms or a permanent enters the battlefield under your control transformed,”: Hoping Tovolar  ^Flip will be able to use this.

• “If the opponent protects it, remove a defense counter from it.”: Guessing this is for a Battle card and that it's indeed something Monarch-like.

• “At the beginning of your upkeep, if you haven’t been dealt combat damage since your last turn, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.”: Interesting seeing as the last set had Phyrexian Arena.

Finally, here are some Phyrexians in the set:

• Creature – Phyrexian Bear Rhino: Ikoria-based

• Creature – Phyrexian Devil: Innistrad-based, I hope. Would be funny since then it'd be Norn-ish.

• Creature – Phyrexian Dog Warrior: Tarkir-based

• Creature – Phyrexian Jackal: Jackal Pup reference? Otherwise you could go with Amonketh, although the lack of class makes me doubtful.

• Creature – Phyrexian Shark: Mmmm yess

And some creature type lines of denizens fighting them:

• Creature – Raccoon Warrior: Capenna-based

• Creature – Goblin Spellshaper: no idea what it'll Spellshape

• Creature – Wolverine Dinosaur: Again, Ikoria.

• Legendary Creature – Elder Giant Dog: As pointed out, Kroxa + Kunoros

• Legendary Creature – Ape Dinosaur Turtle: Kogla + Yidaro, Wandering Monster. Feels kinda weird since they don't seem like very natural enemies?

This looks like a fun start on a classic archetype. Avarice Totem is an all star.

Lich's Tomb can be neat alongside Jackal Pup effects.

Blue gets cards like Sky Swallower , Role Reversal and Vedalken Plotter .

For each X your opponents conntrol cards can work well in lists like this, especially artifact hate.

This is a really neat gift. Sorry to hear about your brother's pups.

You might like these: Hyena Umbra , Jackal Familiar , Isamaru, Hound of Konda , Pack Mastiff , Rambunctious Mutt , Two-Headed Cerberus .

There's also some interesting synergy among Blood Hound , Lava Hounds , and Jackal Pup . Building around those would probably be a whole different deck though haha.

Lame_Duck on Why Are Some Players so …

For a less useless answer: some people just prefer when the game doesn't take itself too seriously. Yes, it's goofy that a Squirrel can fight Savannah Lions to the death but it's just as goofy that a Jackal Pup can do the same to Grizzly Bears . You're never going to be able to resolve the conflict between the gameplay abstraction and the flavour in a 100% consistent way and some players enjoy it more when WotC embrace the absurdity a bit.

LOL! I would maybe swap 4x Jackal Pup for the Rakdos Charm just to give you some recursion on that front of the combo. it seemed pretty sketchy (not that you don't thrive in the world of Sketch :P )

eyes2sky on M25: 20 New Pauper legal …

The following cards have been downshifted and will be Pauper legal when M25 is released.
Ainok Survivalist
Assembly-Worker
Balduvian Horde
Borrowing 100,000 Arrows
Cinder Storm
Court Hussar
Crimson Mage
Dragon's Eye Savants
Fencing Ace
Frenzied Goblin
Geist of the Moors
Ghost Ship
Hordeling Outburst
Jackal Pup
Loyal Sentry
Pillage
Relentless Rats
Ruthless Ripper
Savannah Lions
Skeletonize
Some of these will certainly see play in current brews or will inspire new ones. Which of these are you most excited about? I'm really happy about Ruthless Ripper, Fencing Ace and Loyal Sentry. Gattison is probably psyched about Hordeling Outburst !

Jackal Pup, but yes, I was thinking of the wrong effect.

It is a Jackal Pup with a sort of upside.
