Recent discussions here and elsewhere have made it clear that there seems to be a group of players who consider blue and control synonymous, as if they somehow started playing a game with four identical and "bad" colors that do nothing interesting because they just "turn men sideways" and then true, glorious blue, the only thinking person's color.

holy cheezecakes! did someone say kozilek was good? this guy is #1 in my books. if you can cast this dude, its 100% game over for the OP. unless wizards comes out with a colorless deal 15 damage spell, that is....
If the whole Brood lineage ramp thing really is playable at a competitive level, Emrakul is beyond broken.
It's one thing to trigger the Time Walk when you simply cast it; I can live with that. But to make it uncounterable pretty much kills control if this thing is actually playable.
Pretty silly, IMO. WotC continues to cater to the Timmys of the world.
Yeah, I think the Time Walk is what pushes it over the top to insanity, though there's no way they'd print something like that, and make it playable, without also printing answers. Keep your ear to the ground for a colourless exile at instant speed.
Blech. Level up only as a Sorcery? What fun is that? Figure of Destiny (the precursor for this mechanic I'm sure) could do its stuff at EOT and in response to removal. Luckily, the release cards, when they showcase new mechancis, are rarely the best/most powerful example of what said mechanic can do.
My thoughts exactly. I had my hopes up for some decent blue Leveler creatures that would provide an outlet for EOT mana. Levelling as a sorcery just makes the ability feel so... lackluster. I'm gonna need to see some insane Level Up effects to sell me on it.
I guess mill will just never be a real strategy (outside of turbo fog)
It kills Turbofog as well; you can discard this card in your discard phase, forcing a shuffle. Unless you have sub-13 in your library and they respond to its trigger with Archive Trap, you're safe.
this is broken. I'm sorry. even at 15 cmc, this is broken. my friend quit magic after cards like admonition angel and dragonmaster outcast and novablast wurm came out, and now he sure as hell isn't coming back. damnit.
Because those cards are played in so many decks..?
Yeah, but since I don't know the rest of ROE spoiler, I'm guessing there are likely better picks, akin to Doomblade or something.
I could be completely wrong though.
If presented with a choice between a huge expensive problem and a cheap solution to that problem, I'll often take the cheap solution.
The eldrazai seem intense! way too powerful if you ask me, which leads me to believe that there will be LOADS of spells and cards designed to make sure they never see the light of day. We know wizards well enough, there will certainly be a card that says "destroy target eldrazai"
Sadface at this art being this titan. There just seem to be so many more EPIC arts that this could be than what is previewed. I hope the promo has sick art.
While I don't traditionally play casual, something inside of me really just wants to use Fist of Suns to power this thing out turn 4-5. Not nearly as good as turn 2-3 Indestructible flying 20/20's, but definitely more stylish from my perspective...

Hmm... and to think you could have two with a mirror gallery... that would hurt. Maybe there will be a rule that limits the amount of eldrazai in a deck.

And if you don't, you have to PAY 15 mana.
Rediculous.
Thanks to Heroes of the Plane Studios for the amazing sig.

Bawwwwwwwww
You won't quit.
If you do, you have other reasons.
There is nothing "kiddie" about these cards, sorry to say.

So 3 eldrazi titan cards out of 248 is it?
You're going to let 3 cards out of a large set you consider to be kids' cards cause you to quit?
at least try making a cube before you quit they're the best.

When can I expect this MPR oversized promo to be shipped?
Kozilek = control nets you cards and has a high but possible casting cost
Emrakul = combo very hard to cast , protects itself , begs to be cheated , almost an
automatic win.
Ulmalog = aggro?
IT PASSES THE SHIVIAN METEOR TEST!
I have written a proxy generator. If you have a deck you want to try out, you could do much worse that use this... mtg.edd-miles.com
It could be a 1/1 and still pass the test.

Use Mirror Gallory for Eye Of Ugin to put multiple copies in play then use that legendary land that makes all lands swamps -just a thought ...:o

Because it's not supposed to be. Only the first keyword ability in a line is ever capitalized.
If your answer is "No," then your morality does not come from God's commandments.
If your answer is "Yes," then please, please reconsider.
I think their mana cost is that rule...
Why would it be? Keywords aren't capitalized unless they start a sentence.
