Using planar bridge on a Eldrazi will not activate the cast ability but you can bounce it back to you hand later on.
So you will not get a extra turn with old Emrakul nor mind control with the new Emrakul.
....but you get to play it, from your library, at instant speed, for 8. Or any other silver bullet from your deck. Tutor + play for 8 colorless, repeatable.
So with all of these master pieces around can we finally call out the "collectors" on their bs? How hard can we rub in how full of crap the collectors in the forums have always been. Talking about how rarity is what makes the cards valuable. Magic has not been a collectible card game in over a decade. They print the cards on the same level baseball cards are printed. The reason the cards retain value is because they are playable not because they are rare. These master piece cards aren't going to be sought out by that many people. My biggest magic playing friend is officially out of standard. Battle for Zendikar expeditions destroyed that game for him. He was already buying 18 booster boxes when a set came out so that we could get all of the cards that he wanted. He was on the card board crack diet of opening packs for fun. Now with expeditions around he's done. He buys no more booster boxes and has basically quit magic outside of very casual play. I think the tilt of the player base has gone in favor of purely treating magic like a game and it's heavily reflected in purchases. Or lack of purchases. Wizards needs to smarten up and realize that adding more lottery effects to their game isn't a good thing long term. They have only been re-hashing the same game formula for years. It has gotten worse though. Planeswalkers were a very bad idea. I'd like to have planewalkers eliminated as card types. They could still appear on card art and in the story line but the power imbalance is out of control. Then there is that lack of non creature spells to win you the game. Long gone are the days of killing someone with megrim, the rack, blackvise and other non creature cards. Creatures are also way too big and over powered. You can have a good standard format without super powered low cost creatures. Wind drake for the kill! I think masterpiece cards in every set are a last ditch effort to prop up the game. Then when the game goes under all of those collectors will be sitting with piles of worthless cardboard.
Wow, that's a lot of hate. You forgot to pound on Mythic Rarity and the Reserved List, otherwise I would have completed my mtgsalvation bingo by now. And you veered off target quite soon so I will not get into detail into the things not having to do with the topic at hand. Masterpieces are only for collectors. You can get the non-bling version of them as easy as any other rare card, they change nothing. Buying 18 booster boxes to get all the cards in a set is a horribly ineffective way to do so. You know that you can buy cards for a much smaller price via the internet? Whole set displays even! I don't want to calculate it right now, but I'm pretty sure you could buy a display AND most of the masterpieces (except for maybe the most costly) for the money you spend on the boxes. If you don't like the lottery effect that's fine, don't buy boosters and save the money to buy single cards. As far as I know Magic is going pretty strong right now, with RTR, Theros, Khans and BFZ each breaking each others record of sales (even though both Theros and BFZ had low power). So while Masterpieces are certainly a marketing ploy it's not affecting you if you don't let it and it's certainly not a sign of Magic "going under". Also remember this: The one time Magic WAS close to being destroyed it was because of Combo Winter of which broken noncreature spells were a huge part of.

My own complaint about these is that they take up a mythic slot in the box lottery, which can be kind of depressing for people who are just trying to play a limited game with cards that are found in the current set only. What would make these better is if they just added value to the pack. Like they'd have one in place of a token card or something in the pack on occasion.

They replace a common, not a Mythic.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!

Oh, nevermind then. I haven't opened packs in over 5 years and from what pack openings I saw I thought they replaced something more valuable.

that five mana artifact is probably going to break several formats. It untaps all mana dorks and mana rock for only having to play one spell. Even if you only have two or three mana rocks in play you are netting at least two mana every time you play something. Add some cheap cantrips that now also add mana and you are good to go. Have some grapeshots to finish the game off.
That is going to be super sexy to try and break modern with that card. 2 CMC mana rocks do exist in modern so you can get that of turn three easy. Then play some of those 0 cmc cheerios artifacts and get ready to go off.

That said why I'm worried this new amazing card won't get banned in commander
But sadly I would not be surprised if that ends up happening.
Is this any better than pyromancers acension for storm though? You're going to have to build around it pretty heavily and the main point is to cheat on mana which is what pyro does.

These two points seem awfully contradictory to me, being someone who was playing RG during a standard season including Static Orb and Opposition i much prefer seeing non creature win conditions coming in the form of cards you can interact with.

Just gonna point out..... NOPE!Isochron copies, doesn't cast.
I shouldn't post before I fully wake up
Uh...Are we looking at the same Isochron Scepter? The exiled spell is copied, then cast for free...

But what can prevent it is that it could get destoryed so fast in the other formats, and also it's e same catergory as
Panharmonicon, Doubling season, Deepglow skate and Eye of ugin (Eldrazi decks Ofcoarse.)
