So the only side you can search for is the front which has the one triangle symbol. When dual modal cards are in the graveyard or library, they are officially face up. This way, now, you can play Alrund straight out without paying any extra commander taxes.īUT, before you make grand plans to use cards like Trusty Retriever to go after the Sword of the Realms from the graveyard, first you must realize that the artifact equipment is actually on the back side of the card. If you play the two drop Hakka, Whispering Raven, and deal combat damage to a player, it goes back to your hand. Once again, you can play either side from the command zone, but this one has a special caveat that I think we will see on many dual modal cards in the future. Alrund, god of the cosmos, was featured in the figures Wizkids will be bringing us later in the year. The third dual modal god card brought to us by Wotc’s stream today was one that was spoiled way back in October. Anyway, if you build your manabase right, you won’t have to worry about the cost so much. Well, if you want to bring out Tilbalt next, it’s going to cost you a whopping eight! So, although we finally got a usable Tibalt planeswalker card, it’s an expensive one. Say you play the two drop Valki, god of lies, and it dies. The Commander tax counts it as one card too. But you’re going to still have to be careful. So Tibalt brings the red/black to the commander deck no matter what side you play. We had a conversation over Twitter with Sheldon Menery of the Comander Rules Committe to get some clarification. But he’s invading this plane in style taking the form of their god of lies. Seems like our little half-devil troublemaker is doing some heavy duty impersonation on Kaldheim! No, not that Tibalt isn’t bad enough. So, if you thought the option to play Halvar or the Sword of the Realms from the command zone is a game changer, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Because today, in the opening twitch stream for spoiler season, two more dual modal legendaries were revealed!’įirst off, we got a Tibalt planeswalker as promised, but no one had a clue that he would be dual modal with a god card on the front side. And you know what that means? These type of cards can be your commander. Kaldheim will be the first set where we can play a dual modal Legendary. And it seems to be working like a champ! I know I loved having the options in Zendikar to play one land or another or even play an instant, sorcery or creature instead. So, Wotc is continuing their work on giving us options as not to be stuck with dead cards in our hands. Halvar was unique in that he was not only a god card, but he was dual modal (as stated before) and his back side was The Sword of the Realms. Now we had dual modal lands that were creatures before in the Zendikar set last year. No, early on, we were introduced to a god of Kaldheim named Halvar, god of battle. And I’m not just talking those awesome lands that Zendikar Rising started and we’re continuing in the new set. One of the nuances that Kaldheim brings to the table is its continuing use of dual modal cards. (Man, way too much to compute! Burning up my processor!) There are a dozen cards, mechanics and decktecks I could get into right now. Well, spoiler season is upon us and it is METAL! Even without all of the musical interludes, the Kaldheim set is a different breed bringing the fight to the table and favor from the gods. A bit of Viking goodness, brought to you by BDC
