muon posted:Love me some (I assume) release promo bulk rares! You think that's the Abzan promo? If so, odd it isn't a white creature. Maybe just the event promo. Seems like a strong limited card anyway, and neat that it sounds like each clan gets a new mechanic. I was hoping for more Delve cards, but there's probably only so much you can do with the mechanics. Having reach, that thing could turn a game around if played onto an empty board as a 10/10 for 7. Getting a 5/5 and turning the smallest guy you have into a fattie doesn't seem at all bad either. And boster seems nicely complimentary of the Abzan "counter lord" guys, a few cheap ones with Bolster 1-2 should do a good job of enabling them. So maybe Sultai will have something for loading the graveyard. Completely random thought, I think Transmute might work well for them.

I have a quick question if anyone can answer. When Yavimaya Coast says: 'Tap: Add Green or Blue to your mana pool. Yavimaya Coast deals 1 damage to you.' Where do you assign that damage? Does it have to be to your life total or can you assign it to a creature/token?

I'm assuming there will be like a 1G 1/2 Bolster 1 or something. Probably no Outlast creatures in FRF, but some other +1/+1 counter in DTK, so Bolster gets to play nice with both.

I think what I like best about Bolsterphant is that he can buff himself if he's alone or somehow your smallest dude. Also, I'd like to point out to the people who will inevitably speculate about Bolster cards that Bolster is an action (like Proliferate), not a keyword ability (like Extort), so you could have such as "XG - Sorcery - Bolster X." It's not just an ETB thing.

They've made it a keyword action and not an ability. So, presumably it's going to be on more than etb triggers, and will be stapled on spells. e:f,b It also combos great with Charging badger.

I would absolutely love it if Crackling Doom was shoehorned into Khans to deal with an otherwise overpowering Bolster Bogles deck.  EDIT: Also this seems like a pretty Temur mechanic, and synergizes nicely with the 4/2 Khan.

LordSaturn posted:I would absolutely love it if Crackling Doom was shoehorned into Khans to deal with an otherwise overpowering Bolster Bogles deck. Well the Elephant has the Abzan watermark, so it's either theirs or not specific to a Clan. Bolster as a name seems to fit Abzan too, the most like a formal military.

So maybe they are giving each clan a different signature mechanic than they had in khans? Let's all wildly speculate on the other four. Dredge for sultai?

If it adds +1/+1 counters I'm going to be using it in my cube. I hope there's a big white bolster creature and a small black bolster creature.

Dredge is cool in itself, but not printable with Delve. I do think Transmute works though, and is also in-colour for Sultai.

Serperoth posted:Don't tell that to Ken Nagle. My favorite part of dredge is when people realize that despite having dealt with my primary plan there's still way more zombies than they can deal with in play. Like at GPNJ I was staring down a board of Thalia (which means you can literally cast nothing as manaless of course) and Batterskull but 14 zombie tokens generated by just letting ichordis die is still enough to smash through that.
