looking at it close up, that Elspeth is probably from one of the planeswalker decks, as it's 255/254.

Arivia posted:Sagas are an a+ great idea for the Grecian set. Sagas are an A+ idea in general and I wish they replaced planeswalkers completely. That said, Elspeth is at least an interesting twist. ungulateman posted:The Narcissus card is loving phenomenal, too. This, so much this. Silhouette posted:Krasis had better eat a ban before this set drops, otherwise lmaaaooooo that Hydra aura makes it even more busted I don't think it's what Krasis decks are trying to do.

The American Dream posted:I really really hope they print some good Minotaurs. I’d love to have some good ones for my tribal deck. I have a sweet Italian Legends one sitting in a binder somewhere, and people LOVE Underworld Dreams decks, so let's hope for a sweet Underworld Dreams archetype in Standard. JerryLee posted:Those full art basic lands make me think of Pokemon energy cards. I think the idea of them is great, but I'd have to see them on the battlefield to know how good they actually look. Silhouette posted:Krasis had better eat a ban before this set drops, otherwise lmaaaooooo that Hydra aura makes it even more busted No it doesn't, if your Krasis is staying in play for two full turns then you didn't need that aura to win sit on my Facebook posted:The land aura is bonkers No it isn't, it's Wild Growth with the option to pay 5 and sac it to get a 2/2. That's exceptionally mediocre.

Arivia posted:I thought the same thing. I'm surprised it took them this long, but constellations make sense for Theros. They're not really constellations, they're... nebulae and/or galaxies. The glowing interstellar dust is doing all the work. I like how the background subtly works with the theme of each color: red is a spiraling shape that fits with the mana symbol, green has shapes that evoke bushes or treetops, etc.

Holy poo poo those basic energy are BEAUTIFUL!  Best enjoy the Seb artwork while we can before he moves onto galleries.  We are so ridiculously lucky to have him doing his masterpieces for playing cards.

ungulateman posted:Yeah I was on the edge of making a bet on it when Starfield Mystic was revealed but none of my friends really wanted to bet against it, unsurprisingly. Technically it's more like creature Retrace, because it doesn't exile the card. It should be able to be done again.

Arivia posted:I thought the same thing. I'm surprised it took them this long, but constellations make sense for Theros. It's okay, the art director, Jeremy Jarvis, at Wizards doesn't know what a constellation is either. My educated guess is that for a set like Theros: Beyond Death, they felt that it was important for the mana symbols to be clearly identifiable because the celestial theme doesn't clearly associate with the geographic features that the lands represent. They can get away with not haveing mana symbols on basic lands in sets like Unhinged and Unstable because they are supplemental sets, but basic lands in Standard-legal expansions are meant for everyone and that means making things easier to understand. I would have preferred something more abstract that suggested the shapes of the mana symbols with stars and nebula. The white mana symbol could have been a spiral galaxy; the green mana symbol could have had its contour made out with stars. Or they could have just ripped off The Elder Scrolls and looked at the constellations they use to depict the three classes across all five games.  The one thing I will say is that I'm glad they didn't go with the awful templating of the full-art Zendikar lands. No dumb rear end decisions like the curved border on the left and right sides. Just a nice and clean illustration.

Zoomed out far enough, galaxies strung together across the cosmos share the same shape as trees, roots and neurons. This is one of many reasons I am a mystic.

Seeing as there's an Ashiok instant, what's the over/under on there being a busted Ashiok that slots into Oko sultai after they ban goose and nissa to power it back up?

Ashiok has had two three-mana cards, both of which are very powerful but very situational. Wouldn't surprise me if they got another busted card to sell the set. I'm actually surprised Elspeth doesn't cost 1WW with the same effects, but apparently they can show a little restraint. Also quoting this so I don't have to go back to the previous page.

Mill is kind of good right now due to Drowned Secrets and Merfolk Secretkeeper. Also I feel like Glimpse the Unthinkable is generic enough to flavor to be an Ashiok-themed reprint.

I'm ambivalent towards them overall; I think I'd rather my lands have art of, y'know, landscape features, but I can't deny that they're lovely designs. more or less same. i like lands being lands but doing something different every once in a while isn't the end of the world.

Are those lands going to be in the basic slot or is it like guilds/allegiance where you have to buy fancy poo poo to get the cool lands?

I saw an FB post with the spoilers, which also had these. The black one made me question their validity but it's probably fine, just a bit rulesy for common. Elspeth looks good as a card, wait and see on the set art, but it's interesting she makes human tokens.

Jabor posted:Grafdigger's Cage does, in fact, stop you casting cards from your graveyard using their Escape cost. I assume Escape will otherwise only be on creatures, and Elspeth probably has the most interesting cost with most of the rest using mana. Sacrifice costs could be interesting/abusable though.

Pokemon style full arts were a pretty natural idea and this looks like a pretty cool way to have pulled it off. I have to imagine foils will be very popular.

Or maybe after a solid year of “Please for the gently caress’s sake stop pushing mythic planeswalkers as the end-all/be-all of the game.
