Kozilek coming back was fairly heavily foreshadowed on a bunch of cards, including ,as-previously-noted, Herald of Kozilek, but also Kozilek's channeler and Kozilek's sentinel.

The cards said "Kozilek's spawn are loving around underground and no one knows where Daddy K is". Meanwhile Emrakul's only named card said "On the other hand Emrakul's minions seem to be weaker in their master's absence".

Im guessing Emrakul is for Zendikar 3 or it escaped and will attack some other plane.

That sounds rad as hell! You can also put infect on anything with instants and the like right?

Would a Red Black Infect deck work? What's the way to share decks / collections to get advice? I have the Decked Builder and I have all my cards uploaded onto a data base, but I'm not sure what I want to add to my Eldrazi deck. I may just make a new one based around infect.

Modern Infect is a pretty popular deck. Usually they play really cheap creatures with infect, and then just dump their hand to make them enormous to win the game instantly in a turn.

E; i think its usually Green and black

Let me be the first to say: Holy poo poo does Support look underwhelming.

Eldrazi cards look sweet, though, especially Spatial Contortion. That card's going to see non-rotating play.

Scion summoner is probably going to end up best green common for drafting.

Colorless nameless inversion has sweet art and is very playable, dunno about any of those other very underwhelming rares.

Jori En and Cavalry seem relatively bad, and the others seem like limited bombs at least.

Reminder that the limited format will very much be defined by the Oath cards, as the draft is OGW - OGW - BFZ, so just one pack of bad green / good yourfavouritecolour.

I wonder if this can do something dumb with Grafted War Gear/Demonmail Hauberk in Modern. Not viable, but "I can't believe I lost to that crap" dumb. Turn 1 Doomed Traveler, Turn 2 Outfitter, Turn 3 Wargear-> Sac Traveler to equip to Outfitter and cantrip -> attack with the 6/5 Outfitter?

Imagine three blocks on the edge of a cliff. Say a block is sent to the back of the line of blocks and takes the place of the first block. The formerly first block becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the third falls off the cliff.

Standard works the same way.

Yeah I get it, just not used to it yet. I was thinking of Atarka anyways.

Mind melter is good if you pick up a lot of processors. Also 2 unblockable damage and an equipment or something is good. I think it's as strong as the others but is more deck dependent.

Fumarole = Cinnamon roll??? Also its a very interesting design for a card IMHO and I like it.

Nissa Oath seems solid enough. Card draw in a color that doesnt often draw, and the enchantment effect is probably good.

It'd be kind annoying if it ends up a staple 4x in most green decks (which I don't think is unlikely) almost solely for being a good cantrip, since that's usually a common effect.

It draws a card in green which almost never draws cards. In any 3 color deck with a planeswalker it smooths out your mana a little bit. It's gonna be a staple, and if there are any "enchantment matters" cards it gets even better.


E: Sigil is legal in standard for a bit so theres that
