Can you search for an article when Rofellos was just spoiled or was out? to match the hype if was the same. I think you can find it.

Why the expeditions in warp world? I don’t think they trigger off a warps lands, because enchantments come into play after(or does this still all trigger?)

as for the cobra, I’m more frustrated than excited. I thought they were avoiding printing obviously chase rates in mythic. Smells like the first $50+ card for new standard

[...] He writes: The deck remains quite raw but is still capable of powering out Warp Worlds with the number of permanents approaching the mid-teens. The combination of ob Nixilis and Warp World is definitely powerful and with Lotus Cobra you just get there that much faster. Whenever you play a fetch land you end up with three mana in your pool — basically a free Dark Ritual for up to three colors of your choice. When you fetch a Trace of Abundance is essentially a free permanent that enchants the land you search up. Even lands that come into play tapped like the ones that you search up with the Heart Expedition are productive members of your mana pool when the Lotus Cobra is hanging around. [...]

@BK: The problem with Garruk is that he’s another dead card off of a Warp, since only the only cards put into play are creatures, lands, artifacts, and enchantments.

The thing is, there is no plow under in standard or a card that costs 4 or 5 that really has the same or close impact , bloodbraid is not, or any planeswalker or baneslayer, siege-gang, etc. Cobra has a fundamental problem to be really good, it needs a card exactly like plow under to be a staple, if not, it just don’t do anything, ask yourself if you need it in your deck and why. You should be finding yourself playing not needed harrows maybe to grow up nacatls and knight of the reliquary. But a naya deck doesnt need to run 2/1 for 2 mana to play bloodbraid/vengeant/whatever turn 3 or harrow. In that case, bop/noble heirach or llanowar elves might do the same for 1. Wizards actually tests their cards before throwing them away. The only deck that I think might be good is jund aggro, just for play those cards mentioned above on turn 3 and nothing else.

Harrow shouldn’t be in there :\ try cutting that and seeing how you go.

Cobra isn’t a linear, it’s something that aids and increases your development. Case in point, Brian’s deck existed before Cobra in some form.

I forgot to add my personal url, there it is, I hope BDM could test some stablished archetype vs a cobra deck in new t2 and then, post his thoughts about it.

I ran harrow because was doing a lot of things that the deck needed, you need 3-4 basics in play, and harrow does it, you need your knight of reliquarys be 4/4+ when play them to not die against bolt, and you need to play 3/3 wild nacatls, also was a nice combo with cobra and way to ramp up mana from 3 to 5 maybe to grow your pseudo tarmogoyfs (the ones for G) and stuff.

Well like I said the only deck I find cobra is medium abusable is in jund aggro. But when opponent plays putrid leech instead of cobra you are already behind in board position.

yes we’ve all heard the argument it dies to this and that (but that goes for a lot of other critters) but like BDM said, what if it lives?

I don’t think this is a Lotus Cobra deck. This is a decent deck that happens to be broken if Cobra lives.

I think this is an amazing idea, but while I was playtesting I ran into an interesting situation. What exactly happens if you reveal two Ob Nixilis, the Fallens when you play Warp World? It is legendary, so when two of them come into play, they immediately go to the graveyard, and since creatures come into play *before* lands, this happens before any lands can trigger Landfall, right? Or am I missing something?

Anyone would have to agree that white green became extremely good with 4 lanowar elves that drop turn one boosting green mana advantage and then you drop turn two one plains and an akrasan squire and so on so forth until you get by turn 5 with 4 elves tap 9 mana and bam now you have Iona Shield of Emeria out. Another thing you could do to my opinion could be green white birds with harrow and rampant growth and throw in Emeria Angel now you have a shit load of one one birds that swing into your opponent; but the key to a deck like this is to run a little bit of stall till turn 5 so that you have a better chance of playing Iona. Something like pacism or journey to nowhere or oblivion ring. Zendikar more or less just made angels one of the most powerful creatures in the game.
