RedGauntlet: I thought the same thing at about the same time.
There are 18 tokens in SOI. I hope half of them are Clues, each with different art and flavor text. Barring Land or other Artifact tokens, there's at least 8 of them.
Thing in the Ice is pre-ordering for $0.99 at SCG... gooooooooooooooooooooooo!
(These pre-orders are killing me, I haven't been this excited in a set in ages)
4.99 now. Whew...
Sold out twice at $4.99, sold out now at $5.99... do I hear $6.99?
Don't even want to think about how much the foils are going to cost. Better believe I am going to pick some up before they make into a Top 8 and skyrocket even more
I wonder if we will finally see some innistradi merfolk as the tide rises. Shadow Over Innsmouth had fish people.
Someone said it in another thread but before then I'd never realized how much I want Innistrad gillmen Merfolk.
That the cryptoliths form as focal points of mana seems... Telling. To me
I'm sort of buying into my own theories now but I'm still not quite sure how everything goes together exactly yet.
I like that, whether it was intentional or not, a Zendikari Kor planeswalker exerts influence over other planes using the land as a facet.

They didn't care that he was the savior of Fort Keff, the great hunter of Ondu, the champion of Kabira. To them, he was just another piece of flesh, a thing with life to be drained away.
Not suprising that Reflector Mage is the best creature. He might be the primary reason that Thing from the Ice won't see as mutch play in standar, unless they play together

Another interesting thing I noticed so far with the spoilers we have. There's no +1/+1 counters to be seen yet. Fingers crossed it's -1/-1 counters.
I was really hoping SOI would be the place we see them again, but of I recall right, the Delirium wurm gives itself +1/+1 counters.

At least there's not a devoted +1/+1 counter mechanic like: Detective- Whenever you draw a card that's not the first card you drew each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on...

My favorite flavor text: Time of Heroes
Feel free to tell me yours!
a person or thing that announces or signals the approach of another.
"witch hazels are the harbingers of spring"
synonyms: herald, sign, indication, signal, portent, omen, augury, forewarning, presage; More a forerunner of something.
"these works were not yet opera, but they were the most important harbinger of opera"
No. When Thing in the Ice transforms, it keeps its CMC of 2, but has no mana cost and thus no devotion. (Also note that if Thassa is a creature when Thing transforms, she'll be bounced too.)
And the tentacles on Harbinger of the Tides - those are obviously octopus tentacles so... not Eldrazi-related.

I never even thought of that. If Reflector Mage remains even halfway decent it's going to wreck Thing in the Ice.

I hope Wizards doesn't do this; how about some mon calamari instead.

"There is a forester lives up..."
Is this intentional?
EDIT:
Let's just wait until 4-color rally/CoCo dies when fetches rotate before we start talking about the prevalence of Reflector Mage.

Good catch, that's actually *extremely* similar to the prediction I made for the EMO symbol
(an upturned crescent moon with tentacles dangling below).

Or something.
was thinking on this thing...
Origins had a 'Harbinger'.

No, but it will have a CMC of 2.
