From Kelly Digges article:



Um, Maelstrom Pulse is great against this card, but other then that, keep pumping out Angels anytime I want (After four counters on it)? Very very nice.

It makes me think that the card that MaRo hinted at to get rid of Planeswalker would be to get rid of counters on target permanent (and would be good against these quests).

I love how it says EACH opponent's end step.

Sounds like another amazing EDH card to me :).

The fact that you can use its ability more than once per turn is ridiculous. By Turn 6, you can pump out 3 4/4s with flying per turn.

Really hard to evaluate this card, because of the condition for the counter. Definitely unplayable versus red, though.

Kelly also stated it flat out: We can mark off the "eight mana for four 4/4 fliers" from MaRo's hint list.

Is Fog-Sigil somewhat more legit now?

Possible turn 6 triple angels?

Disagree. Massive bulls-eye on your head. WAY too powerful if the quest is finished.

Can you say Turbofog? You can even play Safe Passage to take out the red decks

Another solid card for Empty Throne decks...I took mine apart, but may have to try it out again

Thats pretty nutty

Monowhite control sure is getting some love!

Wow that card seems terribly efficient, but will probably be just as bad as Hoofprints of the Stag. But it turns into a super Secred Mesa on steroids, could be good.

Naya Fog is looking better and better.

another card for white control.. nice! Theres lots of way to prevent damage in white (harms way for example) and it shouldnt be hard to get this to 4 counters.

and you can activate it more then once.. wow.

this is a solid ass card for turbofog. garuntees that its an archetype to be considered constantly throughout the next two years. 4 fogs = you probably won. Sleep becomes slightly more valuable

ascension cycle a-go-go

Is this the card that can "put 4 4/4 angel tokes into play for 8"? Four activations makes four tokens and costs 8 mana..

I like this card, but then again, I liked Hoofprints of the Stag and never found use for it. I really want to build UW control again..

Seems like a nice aggro card. Drop some fast beaters, keep them off balance while it builds up, then just churn out angels until they die.

Now this is a card that just shines in EDH! I'm for sure to pick up a copy.

Another fetchland name has been confirmed in Misty Rainforest:

This seems way easier to achieve than the blue rare quest we have. Four turns without getting hurt with white's current removal? And it spits out 4/4 fliers, not 1/1 Pegasus tokens? Sheesh.

edit: Misty Rainforest is absolutely gorgeous. Now I have to get four...

Talk wbout multiplayer goodness. You can have this online by turn 3, easy. Who cares if you've got a target on your head if you have an angel factory hepling you out?

Poor Plumeveil rotates out with Zendikar, too bad. I really wanted to see that guy shine in a deck with this nifty enchantment. You can never have too many 4/4 fliers!

This is an excellent card, even if you aren't playing it IN turbo-fog decks. Control vs control is based around no creature dealing damage for a few turns, so basically, this will be at the required counters! I image like 3x of these in control sideboards as an awesome anti-control card.

Also, if you can pull of turbo-fog, then it's already stupidly awesome.
