Retromancer posted:So during some early testing, I'm thinking As Foretold may be a really good card in UW Control if it continues to gain traction. being able to leave up tons of mana, or being able to tap out while still having counters live during your opponent's turn is super valuable. It can even let you Ancestral Vision immediately for free the same turn it comes out.

There's a new magic story out from a day or so ago. Basic rundown: Nissa is wandering though Amonkhet checking how nice everything is as long as you don't check out how awfully hosed up the leylines and energy of the plane is. She wanders into Kefnet's temple and stumbles into the Trial! Of! Knowledge! trying to find answers about how Bolas hosed things up. Spoiler alert: It nearly loving kills her. It's filled with endless nightmare illusions, which she defeats by closing her eyes and telling them to gently caress off under her breath. She finds herself in another room of illusions that tell the truth now, and she sees an allegory for how Bolas jacked up the plane and killed three gods leaving "just three dark rents in the fabric of the sky. Three dark holes, possessed of an energy and fury all their own, pulsing to a rhythm malevolent." So, maybe expect to see some evil corpse gods in Hour of Devastation. She also sees that Nicol Bolas' travels have left a literal trail of darkness behind him through the planes. Maybe. It's all in allegory, so who loving knows. Anyway, she gets trapped in a revelation loop and an angel that "reminds her of Emrakul" (wink wink) tells her to stop being a pawn or a queen, and instead be a player. Then Kefnet jumps in out of nowhere, pissed that someone is interfering with his Trail. He gets good and ready to kill Nissa, until she uses leyline magic to open up Amonkhet's debug menu and sets Kefnet's murdervalue to false. Then he fucks off, saying she passed the trial, and she fucks off feeling pretty jazzed that she's not a complete punk anymore.

Okay, so, another chapter of the Amonkhet story was posted. Let me break it down for you. Gideon Jura is following Famed Feline Divinity Oketra to somewhere she wants him to go. After a bit of travel, he and we are introduced to the Tah crop, a gaggle of attractive young adults who have managed to get through three whole trials without losing anyone. Oketra tells Gideon he's here to join the crop, and total dudebro Djeru greets him and they wrestle. We meet other members of the Tah crop, and find out that Gideon is the replacement for their old member, SAMUT, who got They are eventually greeted by Bontu the EDH Fodder, who tells them that nobody is ever born strong. Gideon's all like "Not even the gods?" and Bontu is like, "How Brazen", but she likes that and is totally not mad. The rest of the crop is stunned that Gideon is This amazing team of young people who have never lost a single person to a trial instantly loses someone in the first room to a slowly filling pit of acidic sewage. Gideon's like "Why are we doing this again?", to which Djeru's like "BECAUSE!" Then they run into an Ammit, and here's where I gotta go off on a tangent. Gideon of the Trials becomes an indestructible 4/4. The ammit he faces, though, is pretty obviously meant to be a Baleful Ammit, which the observant among you might notice, is a 4/3 that is not indestructible. Gideon should, by all rights, be able to dickpunch this thing into next week, then dickpunch one third of it's identical twin brother. Spoiler alert: He can't beat it at all, and it can somehow jump several stories to eat an aven warrior that tries to save him. I'm calling bullshit on this Ammit right here and now and I cannot not be annoyed at it because I'm that pedantic. Anyway, they retreat from the Ammit room, and basically retreat through a bunch of rooms that force them to leave people behind to be eaten by the Ammit (which Gideon should have killed already). They dwindle down from twenty to nine, just in time to finally reach Bontu's chamber. She says that the very last trial they need to pass is to pay her toll. In a pretty cool nod to Egyptian myth, she demands a heart that she will weigh in a scale. Gideon's really, really not cool with this, while the rest of the team just jumps right onto murdering each other like a bunch of shrieking pinatas filled with blood and meth-candy. Djeru takes this opportunity to very apologetically drown his brother in cobra-infested water and then carve out his heart. Gideon has had enough of this half-baked Battle Royale poo poo and gets up in Bontu's face. She says "Why you judging man? You need to understand this because you screwed up that one time and now, because of that, you are morally required to be okay with forced teenage murder-suicide." Then she mind-controls him and forces him to leave, because that's totally something Black can do as a color. Then Gideon's like, "God-Pharaoh? May He return quickly and may I be found worthy... TO MURDER HIM TO DEATH"

I could see 5 color dragons as a theme, but those all seem...just so bizarre and awful? Just...awful. Each of them. Just, like what? Cat dragon? Why? Why is Okagachi not indestructible? And the Ur-Dragon looks like a card an over-enthusiastic 9-year old would design.

Pontius Pilate posted:These seem fine for edh dragon decks and the first one is a completely reasonable card? What am I missing? idk don't play edh tho Now, don't get me wrong. If you'd shown me the partner commanders as a leak, I'd have thought those were fake as poo poo too, because of how utterly weak they were. I could very well be wrong here and those could all be real cards and spoilers. It's just not likely. Edit: Also, I would submit "Wasitora, Nekoru Queen" as a candidate for worst loving name for a card in existance. It is 2/3rds made-up nonsense fantasy language and the whole card reads like bad fanfiction. Veyrall fucked around with this message at 06:34 on May 25, 2017 |

cheetah7071 posted:To my recollection the #1 indicator a leak is real is that the art is new. I'm not sure I've ever seen a fake that had plausible original art on it Edit: Also, the cat token has an artist credit to Cynthia Sheppard, but the token itself doesn't really look like her style. But then, she's also never done anything "cutesy" before either, and the pic is blurry. I just really, really hope these are fake, at least with different rules text.

So, Saffron actually has a semi-decent deck for this weeks Against the Odds. I might snipe a Petroglyphs or two for myself, just to hedge against a decent token deck emerging from nowhere that uses the card.

Angry Grimace posted:Except how is Petroglyphs better than just playing Intangible Virtue Comparing Lingering Souls to Promise of Bunrei, Lingering souls takes 5 mana over multiple mana payments for 4 1/1 fliers, while Promise takes 3 mana for 4 vanilla 1/1s. Then factor in that getting +2/+2 with Intangible requires 2 separate Virtues, while Petroglyphs is the same boost in one card, and 2 Petroglyphs is +4/+4, and it seems like it allows for a significantly stronger set of plays. Now, Intangible Virtue plus Lingering souls gets down earlier and requires 1 fewer lands to use, and if you get the turns is just a more compact set of cards, so I don't think Petroglyphs is strictly superior, and may just be worse if an opponent suspects it, but it can be an unexpected haymaker that seems like it served Saffron pretty well.

Angry Grimace posted:Tokens doesn't feel like an interesting choice to go for a Petroglyphs deck when Virtue is just a better card for the strategy. He should have made it a Goyf deck with Collected Company or something. It's a shame that Goblinslide's tokens have Haste, because otherwise there's a rather spicy Goblinslide/petroglyphs deck to be made. Sadly, it was not to be.

So...about Ixalan.... What, exactly is the flavor justification for mono-white vampires? I mean, I got the idea with the ones in Zendikar being all orderly because they're in an army now, but.... Also, it pains me to see Wizards make cards that wouldn't even pass the muster of our own design contests.

It's a little disappointing that the Scarab god doesn't interact with the Locust and the Scorpion like they do with each other. Well, it kinda works with them. Not super-amazing, but the Scorpion can kill things while the Scarab brings them back, and the Locust can loot into what the Scarab scries (scrys?) into.
