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.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Christ, fine then, ♦ is a pretty drat big mechanic to be introducing in one set. The third set problem's gonna be the second set problem. Nah. If anything BFZ was already stretched thin between callbacks to original ZEN and adding a few new things. There definitely wasn't room for a new basic land. Adding something big splashy and cool in Oathwatch is actually how you avoid the old third set problem.

Even if these are real, I doubt it'll make a permanent change to how colorless mana is produced because it'd make it too much like a for real 6th color. It'll be a gimmick for this set and for wherever they bring it back.

It'd probably only see play as a 1-drop and even then it'd need the right metagame to make it. Zero power without investing mana makes it a really weak threat. Edit: misread and thought you meant a regular shade whydirt fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Nov 26, 2015 |

Well one is supporting the flavor and a mechanical theme of the set while the other is just a random mythic in a core set. Legends also tend to get more wiggle room in general. It's a color bend for sure, but I don't think it's as big of a gotcha as you think it is.

If you can't understand why bestow and transform are easier for casual players to understand than suspend, maybe you are the dumb one.

4/4 for 4 is lovely until Khans rotates out. Could be good after that though.

True colorless is a neat mechanic for Eldrazi, but I don't see it being evergreen. I think at most it'll be like hybrid mana and just used occasionally where it's needed. The more often it gets used in costing spells and abilities, the more it will feel like a permanent 6th color, which I would guess WotC wants to avoid. Changing colorless production to a unique icon is cool and probably helps understanding in the long run. It'll confuse people in the short run for sure though.

I changed my mind - I want to hear Charlie Murphy tell the story about going to Prince's house, but instead of playing basketball they play EDH. Prince plays Maelstrom Wanderer as his commander and wins on the first turn.

The giant octopus pulls everything beneath the waves (into players' hands) and if you surge the octopus comes out to play. It's not perfect, but mass bounce has been flavored as tidal waves/deep sea creatures before.

Surge will almost certainly be in all 5 colors, but I'd bet it's probably centered in U/W like awaken was or maybe in U/R for limited.

Strip Mine might also have a higher supply than Wasteland given it has actually been reprinted in white borders. Dunno enough about print runs to say for sure though.

I almost wish they'd done the change to the colorless mana symbol in Origins. Core sets have been used to make rules/templating changes often and it would have hinted at colorless being a thing in BFZ block without giving too much away.

Like LSV, I think that redrafting is good when you and some friends draft packs for fun on your own and awkward at best otherwise.

I'm phone posting, but off the top of my head it'd be roughly 75%. (17/33 + 16/33 * 17*32 or roughly the same as getting at least one heads from two coin flips)

There's a big difference in showing some basic self confidence and making dumb jokes during a stream or YouTube video in order to entertain your audience and being a jerk to play against face to face.
