Journey into Nyx: Sage of Hours and Sightless Brawler


All those Time Walk and Time Stretch fans, what do you think of the latest Mythical Rare in Journey into Nyx? Sage of Hours is a 1/1 for 1U that can strengthen itself through the heroic ability. Not only are the +1/+1s essential in keeping this alive and useful as the game progresses, it can also be used to take an extra turn. However, a misplay would involve the order of actions taken. First, if your Sage of Hours already has at least five +1/+1 counters, it would be better to attack with it first, either to kill an opponent's creature or give direct damage, than to use the ability and make the human wizard weaker again. A good thing about this card is that it does not have to be sacrificed to have an additional turn, and it could even provide the beatdown for blue if given the opportunity.

As for Sightless Brawler, it is indeed a decent uncommon for white weenie. It is even good for Boros Deck Wins, as it only needs one white mana and the other is colorless. Moreover, a second-turn play of this 3/2, provided that a first-turn creature was played, can prove deadly. Imagine if you had an Isamaru, Hound of Konda played in your first turn, then attack for two and play the Braweler. Third turn, you attack with those two creatures and the opponent is already down by seven points. If you're playing cheese, you are only a few Lightning Helixes, Lightning Bolts, and Incinerates away from victory.
