Yeah, turns out {Anafenza the Foremost} + {Hangarback Walker} is pretty great.

And {Dromokas Command}!

Splicer

Is {Monastery Mentor} ever coming down?  Maybe when khans rotates?

Don't see the hype behind Walker. Just exile the dude
Not that easy in standard right now...

Except not really ... In standard the only viable answers to him are:

{Abzan Charm} (situational)
{Last Breath} (situational)
{Magma Spray} (situational)
{Jeskai Charm} (short delay)

As for sbing Artifact hate ... He's the only artifact in the deck so the hate like {Revoke Existence} and {Unravel the AEther} suck against the other 56 cards in the deck. Same goes with {Virulent Plague} if you drop VP T3 and they go T4 Rhino your VP is just laughably bad!

Tldr Hangarback is very strong right now and it fits in so many decks so Id predict a price increase soon

Mattao19

Lol sure ;) it's not that easy. Against a skilled opponent they won't make walker above 2 vs Abzan and sure D Light works but in the end D Light isn't a great card that can just be put into many decks like what are you cutting for it? Downfall? Bc that's just bad

4 abzan charms will do the trick. Or let's see devouring light. Yeah not worried at all about the Walker.

Just look at the top8 decks of every standard tourney
I think I detected a hint of sarcasm in donnie's post..

Turn 2 you drop Walker as a 1/1. My turn 2 I bile blight. Bye bye Walker and no tokens for you. Up until 3/3 bike blight takes care of him. After that charm. No issues.

Um if I drop a T2 walker and you BB it I get a token bc it dies ..

DirtyMustachio

Because the counters are still there regardless of it being a 0/0 ?

It checks the toughness not the counters to kill it

Understood. I get neg karma for discussing a card??? Wow

It is a sweet card but with all the exile spells for abzan I'll deal with him.  Doesn't white hVe a 2 drop sorcery exile enchantment or artifact?
Not the one doing the negging, but I could imagine it's the tone.

Mattao19

Agree with Kaylesh (also not me who's negging)

Also {Revoke Existence} but the thing is is that revoke only has one target in the deck so it's not really worth it.

Anyways back to prices lol

{Hangarback Walker} will be going up

Kaalia with haste

Khans fetches still rising

Tone? Just saying he's overrated. Oh well. By the way how does one have a tone with words only? Lol
Can't find an example right now, but I could imagine it coming over as scoffing the card vs your deck, while ignoring the people who say like: there are other decks...
(I realize you didn't mean it like that)

Vindog

Why is  {Oblivion Stone} So high ?
