Thopter Assembly 6

Whenever a creature an opponent controls is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

Battle cry (Whenever a creature with Battle Cry attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until EOT)
Whenever... put two... onto the battlefield.
Source: MBS poster. Saw it at my store today. The Battle Cry card was behind Glissa and that's what I remember.
(P.S. I'm sure Viperesque can vouch for me as a reliable source)
EDIT: Like every other poster I believe the Thopter is the Release card and the Glissa + other card (with battle cry (It's a white creature, probably a knight)) being prerelease cards. Seems like that there is 1 prerelease card for each 'faction'
EDIT: Thanks to CB for the reminder text for Battle cry!
Surprised that the Glissa card would have Deathtouch, I assumed they'd stay away from that ability on Phyrexian cards since it overlaps with Infect so much (same reason there is only one card with deathtouch in Shadowmoor block).

If true, 'Battle Cry' is quite a cute mechanic, even if it's just a simple 'on attack' trigger. Simply giving that trigger the name of 'Battle Cry' lends a lot of flavour.
Really wanted Glissa/Sheoldred to have something to do with Poison/Infect. Deathtouch is fine, but without an amazing triggered ability, the card will be a complete waste as a Commander. If the triggered ability gave out Poison counters, I'd throw a ******* party.
At least they got the colors right. Here's to hoping.

Whenever a creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, target player gets a poison counter.
3/2
That Thopter seems pretty amazing in all honesty. I mean sure you have to play it twice more than likely to keep it out, but you get 10 flying power. I don't know, maybe I am wrong, but...it seems pretty f'ing good.
I will crap a cactus if glissa makes elves even stronger.

so that thopter factory sounds like a cool card. really hope that's the pre-release, it also enables metalcraft of course... but at this point... gotta wonder what faction the factory will be aligned with.

Love the factory, seems like it could be extremely powerful with metal craft and cards like Tempered Steel. Also hope Glissa is a solid card, would love a new GB general that's worth playing.

I don't know about the thopter guy, just seems WAY to under powered. With all the big beaters in today's decks, he just seems weak. Even in decks that run tempered steel, he is to slow, as most of them are running cheap artifact creatures, so maybe a 1 of, or at most 2.

Good job!
Did you catch the name of Glissa's card? Anything to do with 'Sheoldred, Whispering One'?
Is Thopter Factory an Artifact Creature - Thopter?
Could it be a cycle with Titan Forge?

Reanimates with Infect? I'd accept that.
Otherwise, it seems too much like Geth, and has little correlation with the art. That would be very disappointing.

If an opponent's dude dies, return an artifact from your yard to your hand.
Was on the poster (top of stairs at Good Games Sydney), but too lazy to take a picture.
EDIT: I only have ONE post?! Dammit... What credibility do I have?! Ah well, you will see. lol.
(I know it's not standard, but seems a casual cool combo do add to Time Sieve).
