He's AMAZING. First of all, a 4/4 for 4 is good as it is, but that ability is just SCREAMING to be broken! Hello, Lotus Bloom, are you lonely? Let me find you a friend!
looks like a decent card. Works nicely with mana accelerating artifacts but were not in an environment right now that has a lot of very powerful artifacts. This wouldve been a lot more useful around mirrodin block. Also seems a bit tricky to play with 3 colors

From MaRo
Every rarity gets good cards. That means that some mythic rares will be tournament quality as will some commons, some uncommons and some rares. My promise wasn't that mythic rares wouldn't get good cards but that we wouldn't limit the good cards to only being mythic rare.
Bear this in mind the next time a powerful mythic rare is spoiled
Thanks to chaostheory90 for finding this quiz for me
Its intersting, but I dont see those colors being played together. Whats up with all the legend previews, is TS going to be like Champions block with lots of legendary stuff?
they were smart in making him a 4/4. his ability is interesting but as a standard player i cant make judgement until i see the rest of the set but things dont look too good for ol' mishra seeing constructed play.

Magus of the Path 3
Artifact Creature - Construct
Indestructable
Magus of the Path cannot Attack or Block.
1t: If two creatures an opponent controls are blocking, do something unnecessarily complex that has no effect on the game; then destroy half the creatures you control and punch yourself in the face.
0/3
While this doesn't work with suspend, it is a 4/4 for 4. Though the 1RUB might be a little tough (or not thanks to the dual lands) in some formats, it might see some play thanks to Solemn (in older formats) and the Secpter (which is what I thought of when I first saw this card). Good card, quite abusable, but ONLY if you PLAY the artifact, not if it comes into play.
Note: It does say artifact spell, so you cannot accelerate with the artifact lands.
I had guessed that image on the booster was going to be Mishra in one of the TS legends threads in the speculation forum. I was really hoping it would be Mishra as Ive always been very curious about his character. Im glad to see WotC bring him back. The card not half bad either.
Such synergy with Terrarion... you can use it to cast him, then later use it for card advantage. Ditto for Chromatic Sphere. Oh, and Sensei's Divining Top is just silly in extended... 1: draw a card, then shuffle your library.
Hmmm... Mishra is just asking for bad things to be done with him.
Also:
"Which one of the brothers am I going to preview?"
That sounds like it would imply they are both availble to preview? Does that mean we're getting an Urza?
MTG is down and I can't see the pic. With Mishra and Teferi out, I think all the legends found in the orb will be the old legends or even planeswalkers with no cards yet. All of them might be needed to help fix this problem.
EDIT: There's the pic. Thanks! I don't like the art though. Too colorful for me. :lol:
Mishra with a card?!?! I wonder if this means we'll get an Urza card too???
(sidenote speculation: Maybe Urza's card will interact somehow with lands that have the subtype Urza's?)
Mishra looks a bit odd; his hairstyle and outfit looks like some sort of neofuturistic punk style, not something from an ancient fantasy setting. I guess time travel is to blame...
Wow. I'd say this card makes up for the atrocity that was Urza (Blind Seer). Great p/t for the cost, and an AMAZING ability. The legends in TS, from what I have seen, are what I think legends should be. Good-to-great cards that can swing the game, and fast.

It's Johnny-licious. Good for a casual FNM deck, and there's a remote chance it might see play in Affinity in Extended, but overall the three-colored cost sorta kills it. Also, the fact that you have to play a spell, though it prevents loops, won't make you run four Darksteel Colossuses just so you can get two for the price of one.
All I can say is HIYO!!! This is awesome. more artifacts for me to play with, and with the convenient word may in the rules text I don't have to worry about my legendary artifacts going poof if I don't want them to. Mishra is finally living up to his potential. He is truely legendary. HIYO!

Why does it say "Mishra" in the title? Do you know something we don't, Seds?

Anyone else notice Mishra's colors are the same colors as Affinity? R for Shrapnel Blast, B for Disciple of the Vault & Cranial Plating, Ufor Somber Hoverguard & Thoughtcast.
Probably too slow to be added into Affinity decks but just wanted to point it out.
