You might want more. Today is supposed to be basic land day.

So the "Zendikar Expeditions" in Kaladesh are called "Kaladesh Inventions".
Before people start complaining, just look at what Expeditions did to prices of the regular cards in BFZ. I'm actually pretty excited about them, not because I want them (lands are much more my thing), but because (1) prices will absolutely TANK for cards in the rest of the set and (2) it'll add a lot of excitement for new players and drive sales.
Expeditions are back. Artifact Expeditions. Hangar back Walker, Mana Crypt, Verdurous Gearhulk, and Gauntlet of Power are first four, all will be spoiled today. Can't post images from work, unfortunately.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
I do hope we get the other four gearhulks in these gorgeous frames.

People should only be complaining about the Kaladesh Inventions if they want them but don't want to open the packs or spend the money to own them. If that's the case, join the rest of the players who want cards they will likely never own.
These will tank the prices of singles for the rest of the cards in Kaladesh.
ohh great now instead of reprinting on demand cards they will jsut make super mythics of them. Just ******* great(seriouslly people wanetd more of this?). I dminded the expeditions abit but if it was only contained on Zendikar then fine but now we got loterry cards in this aswell. God ****nig dammit
Expeditions was nice because it was a new thing and really rare..
but if it becomes a thing for every block... it doesn't become as collectible.. and I know some collectors who just won't be able to keep up with everything WOTC is coming out with...

And it is basically indeed a new "epic" rarity, because it is here to stay.
No matter how stupid the rumor about Kaladesh Expeditions and epic rarity sounded...it turned out to be right. I admit I am shocked.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
They are going to be a regular thing. This will be in every set going forward.

Reminds me of... "Wizards could put $100 bills in packs and people would complain about how they're folded."
I'm quite happy to have super rare cards - if I get one.
Probably should have seen this coming, it makes sense with their market research

but if it becomes a thing for every block... it doesn't become as collectible.. and I know some collectors who just won't be able to keep up with everything WOTC is coming out with...
don't think it's a good thing...
At least these aren't new cards, just reprints(coprints, in the case of the gearhulk).
