After Kaladesh was first announced, this guy wrote a bunch of excited posts on the mythological beings of India - what we could expect to see. I feel sorry for him.

Yeah that whale should be a decently strong card in limited. Probably not as bad as it could be in other sets because of the extra thopters that will be around here.

Yeah in general, the same effect but a mana cheaper is almost always the best upside a card can have.

 Couldn't it do something new, if it's going to have that flavor text? Or maybe this why Tezzeret is going to lose. He doesn't know his ancient Chinese history.

4 power 4 cmc flyers almost always have a downside. there was one in scars block that had a terrible downside iirc and it was still a top limited pick edit: maybe that was another block, hrm.

But they're 2 rares and a mythic.

discarding a card is also an upside, with madness  rabidsquid posted:4 power 4 cmc flyers almost always have a downside. there was one in scars block that had a terrible downside iirc and it was still a top limited pick the main one i think of is moroii from ravnica at 2UB but all it did was drain one life from you every turn which is a tiny downside

Ajani is the planeswalker who is the biggest opponent of Nicol Bolas and he needs to be around now so they can make him the protagonist of the next set while also including the Gatewatch. I'm betting next set has Oath of Ajani in it.

I doubt that. The gatewatch makes the most sense as mascots and the 5 colors personified. They need to keep the good planeswalkers on rotation

Ajani is obviously Big E But with the Eldrazi wrapped up for now, aren't Ugin and Bolas due for a rematch? Ajani already won round one, and his appearance does seem forced.

I mean, Garruk's existence is probably a good reason why Liliana joined the Gatewatch.
