So, for our list of major mythic legends from Magic's past, we have:
I wonder who the red and green members will be?
If i had to guess: Molimo, Soul of Llanowar or Gaea or Tatania reprint
The red could be a new version of Mishra i guess.
If we go with characters from past that needed a card Gaea and Mishra at the Brother's wars would be my bet
He's here boys and girls. The ultimate big bad himself, in human form. Finally, we have pretty much every major character from MtG lore in black-border. We are lacking a few side characters like Gix, but honestly, this set delivered big time lore-wise.
And boy, he's good. Costless sacrifice engine that kills creatures, draws cards and has a very relevant protection clause, all for a measly lifepoint? Sweet baby Jesus that is strong. Probably the best Aristocrat enabler ever made, and wouldn't be surprised at all to see him hitting Constructed. The proliferation is just a nice bonus, and I honestly think he might be even stronger than Urza when it comes down for Modern applications (but Urza is still much stronger in Commander).
sorry thats incorrect theres still a few missing
gix
belbe
gaea
leshrac
jared
and theres a few other well known phyrexians as well

And I would say also:
- Taysir
- Commodore Guff
- (all the rest of the Nine Titans)
And I would like to see also Sifa Grant (Dack Fayden's lover)
Oh and Dakkon Blackblade in PW form would be super cool.
It’s exactly the description they have of him in the books before he became this
Yeah, young, tall,dark,handsome... exactly as he is described. Well,he managed to charm Rebbec on personal level,Dyfed as well, and many more by pure power of charisma.
The art is very fitting.
I thought him being way older because of a book cover i saw some time ago
But the whole Rebbec thing makes more sense now.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
So we get Urza, Serra, Yawgmoth, Enemy horizons, enemy talismans, a basic land fetch, full-art snow lands, two Swords of X and Y, a bunch of nostalgic reprints with a few possible goodies in there, and some additional treats for commander and cube... on top of the countless callbacks to previous cards.
Serra down, Urza down. Just one more to go. The biggest bad of them all. You know you want to do it Wizards.
Ugin had its time to shine - it's time for the REAL Ineffable to hit the scene.
Probably zero chance of this happening. We will get pre-Phyrexia version. "Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes" or "Yagmoth, Traitor to Thran" or "Yawgmoth, Father of Phthisis"
Same reason we're getting this version of Urza and not the one everyone knows can't see print due to power levels. (Same. exact. problem. w/Yawgmoth.)
Yeah. Not sure how to feel about thinking that about the most evil being in MTG lore
It’s actually part of the flavor. Yawgmoth was a very charming person and used that to try to seduce Rebbec and infiltrate the Thran leadership through her.

Does it mean that he can't target himself with that -1/-1 counter? Not sure why anyone would want to do that, though...
Choose one of these judge of creation:
Make Strionic Resonator shine!
You can not grasp the true form of Ashiok's attack!
Yes, the Thran were humans. I'd suggest reading The Thran for backstory.

Fortunately he didn't have Protection from Minotaurs, Dwarves, Elves, Cats and Viashino
Leaning more towards something for Humans mirrors. He can just keep blocking Champion of the Parish forever.

Also, there’s going to be a price spike on cards with undying, namely Geralf’s Messenger.
hey what do you know your right it does combo with undying
sac the creature then put the -1/-1 counter on the creature you just killed
and you know what you can infinite with that trick with Zulaport Cutthroat and blood artist because it negates the fee of 1 life
To draw cards when you topdeck him with an empty board for example.
And I would say also:
- Taysir
- Commodore Guff
- (all the rest of the Nine Titans)
And I would like to see also Sifa Grant (Dack Fayden's lover)

You don't have to place the counter, it says "up to one".
