The wastes seem insane mostly because how would that work at a prerelease; you can add as many wastes as you want in deckbuilding? or no, and you have to specifically draft Wastes, and they have the bonus of being fetchable with Evolving Wilds?

Why would lands produce Z instead of the traditional "1"? Or is that just the new colorless going forward, like Ancient Tomb would produce ZZ?

I actually know a guy who knows a guy kind of deal but the manufacturer+distro is like 2 months prior to the launch even when padding, so having printed material this early seems unlikely except for the purposes of marketing. I'm not sure when this set is supposed to come out off the top of my head.

This is skirting the edge of possibility in so many ways it's wanting to make me believe it's real because it's so implausible they'd make things that are so slightly off in so many ways.

Pre-releases have special pre-release materials, remember? Your little "commemorative deck box" paper piece of poo poo with a sticker holding it together has room for 6 packs plus a pack of SPECIAL PRE-RELEASE WASTES and a D20 in 7 different color(less)s

True, but what about regular draft? What about modo prerelease? Maybe every Oath pack will have a waste instead of a regular basic.

The Land Stations that they sell to stores will have Wastes and adding Wastes to modo is just adding another basic land to the "add basics" button.

That's my thinking. People have access to thousands of the other basic types. Now you're releasing a new land type, with (presumably playable) cards who want to use this, how can be make sure everyone gets enough of this land?

The one they would create to make the card work, similar to the ones they make so that all the new cards work once they print them.

That's if this is in any way true, and I'm still lolling at Kozi having menace and then looking Pathrazer.

The same mechanic by which Bestowed Auras can't fizzle, I guess. Just a thing in the rules that says it does. I know people that were really annoyed about Bestow just having a weird clause that doesn't appear on any card.

The small set thing is the biggest reason why I don't think those are legit.

Tbf compared to how bestow works I'm not sure how many people know the mechanics behind how basics work, so it'd be an easy switch from what we have to "all basic lands that don't have a basic land subtype produce {D}"

I was sure it was fake because if they were going to make something completely game changing like new mana symbols, they would have put it in the large fall set, not just the small spring set. But the thing Skitterskin is standing on does look like the weird Bismuth thing that the Wastes is portraying, so I don't even know what's going on.

Time Warp, Vindicate, and Opportunity aren't "colorless" either but it turns out that when you massively overpay for them, any effect is colorless. Fake Kozilek's ability might not cost mana to activate but it sure as hell costs enough mana to set up that at that point you ought to be entitled to Disrupting Shoal poo poo without an additional mana cost.

That, though, is based on Bestow.

Wastes producing ♦ is based on nothing. There isn't a mechanic providing it with the ability to make mana, and to make it able to produce ♦ means changing what happens when rules aren't there.

Which is weird as heck.

Gaz Posting Brigade :c00lbert:
Rmember that small sets are now basically medium sized and provide two packs instead of just one for drafting. It should be much easier for them to introduce new mechanics than before.

That doesn't mean these cards are real, but Oathwatch being a "small" set isn't great evidence against their authenticity.

Anyway, the real reason it's fake is because I have it on good authority that Kozilek's actual rules text will be "im gay." Don't worry, there will be a comp rules update to define what "im gay" means in the context of Magic: the Gathering.

I started playing again at last Zendikar and since then theres been like 3 or 4 things where everyone was like "what, this doesn't work, it breaks the rules of the game, etc" and they all seem normal after like 2 games with them.
