MTG Salvation

Looks like its being spoiled the same way as JtMS.
He will not be legal in Modern or Standard.

Also, thanks to ktkensphinx for updating the op for me.

Flavorwise, the -2 is "gain control of target artifact", right? And its a pretty good guess its draw 2, discard 2, but you'd have to check for the fitting

I think it's just 3 abilities and that the last one is a bit longer.

I'm almost positive the first ability is "Target player draws two cards, then discards two cards." Very red/blue ability.

Second ability appears to be "Gain control" but doesn't look like it has enough room to say "until end of turn." Given that he's a thief my money is on "Gain control of target artifact."

I just wish that they had spoiled it from the other direction. Mana cost and starting loyalty first, followed by the last half of each sentence. Still, it is looking good so far.

Hmmm, this is promising.

it is in the conspiracy thread. ( What the abilities probably are and how people found the image are there. that is a nice story )

So his abilities are cards that were released with his books? I get faithless looting and acquire, but can't remember what his ultimate can be.

Okay, so a note about this partial: It's actually not supposed to be nearly as much. The intended spoiled shard actually only revealed the first ability being +1 and starting with a T and the second ability being either -2 or -3. Aside from that you could tell it was Dack, but that's old news, and we knew it was either UR or UB.

The reason we have this whole spoiler is because apparently they still left everything in the rectangle formed by what they gave us in the image's data and we just sorta accidentally stumbled upon it. Very accidentally.

It's actually funny. This was found on MTGS by Stapler, then went to mythic spoiler, and now it's back here.

Guessing from where they strategically cropped the last ability, possibly:

-6: You get an emblem with "Whenever you cast a spell that targets a [creature/permanent], gain control of that [creature/permanent]."

can someone skilled with photoshop
a) put the whole picture in
b) put the whole border in?

It's a three ability walker the proportions of the frame would be adjusted for four abilities. Look here I took Jace and Ashiok and overlaid Dark Fayden.

It actually isn't strategically cropped. It was cropped like this:

So we had absolutely no view of the ult. It just so happened that the bounding box around what is visible there happened to still have the information for the cut out parts. I'm not sure precisely how that worked.

If you take an ink sketch in paint.net to that image you linked you get this. It has to deal with how Photoshop crops photos I have noticed this happen quite a bit to renders I use for Sigs and avatars that someone else cropped out in Photoshop when I apply a effect to an image cropped/cutout in a certain way

Looks like Mythic Spoilers added a new mock:

I don't care what it does, I want it. DAMN MY PLANESWALKER COLLECTION!!! It's going to BMW!!!

Let's be honest, he's sexy and I want.

I just found out about this from this thread; how exactly do people know it's R/U? Stupid question, I know.

There's red at the edge of the image.

He's blue/red because the blue outline begins to gradient to red. For example this is my best guess at him currently:

Sorry for the poor text just trying to get widths etc. lined up to see what fits.

I put him at 3CMC and loyalty because he appears to be for Izzet style decks. Draw two discard two is a classic effect for red/blue and fits the text. Naturally this reads more like
Draw ?, Discard ?.

The ult is still way out there, no idea what text fits onto that second line, but not onto a third.

EDIT: Due to the size and boxing a third line of ult text is possible. Perhaps you get something along the lines of heroic. I'm thinking something that lets you strive spells or multi target.

Man, I didn't notice that whatsoever. Some people have good eyes.

not legal in standard correct?

I feel like it'll be 1RU or 3RU. I don't think they would do 2RU right after they created Ral Zarek. If it's the latter, too bad.

I can see this being 1RU with 2 loyalty. Dies to almost everything, can permanently gain control of an artifact right off the bat, and a decent +1. Faithless looting for 1RU every turn is pretty good, but not overpowered.

On the other hand, it could be 3RU and start at 5 loyalty, which would be good as well. I guess we'll have to wait and see..

They said the PW was pushed since its not immediately Modern/STD legal.
