I feel like there are so many cards in this set—including this one—whose power level is completely dependent on there being some cheap cantrips like Opt or the Shadowmoor wisps. I'm unusually excited to see the common dump this time around.
I like the Phoenix, it is the most Phoenixesque Phoenix design in Magic so far I think.
It hatches from his egg (morph), dies, returns to his egg and then either dies if the egg is killed before it hatches again or returns.
Agreed, except for the weird flavor where it's beating for 2 an egg as an unhatched egg.
I think this is a pretty solid card, like a mini flying Thragtusk without the life gain. 4/1 that turns into a 2/2 post death isn't quite good enough but the morph ability, even if it's only used every other game or so, might push it over the top.
Sell them now before it's announced that they're being reprinted.
or:
List them on eBay now so you can capitalize on the rise in price when it becomes clear they aren't being reprinted.
I've noticed Maro is avoiding saying "Magic 2016" and saying "the 2015 summer core set" instead on Blogatog. More evidence that it will be Magic Origins instead of M16.
Has WotC ever given us any reason to expect enemy-colored gold cards? All the spoiled cards are allied colors and we've heard that only five duals will be in Theros, so it's sure starting to sound like the enemy guilds are being saved for Born/Journey.
But it's possible that she's 3 because her weapon costs 4, and it would be awkward to have two cards we're supposed to play together occupy the same slot. So far two of the 4CMC gods have 3CMC weapons.
Man, it's such an amazing coincidence that the only physical cards that have leaked out for this set are all mythic rares with already released art and known names.
It's almost as stunning a coincidence as the fact that no one who is lucky enough to open these cards has access to a camera or phone manufactured in the last decade.
Interesting... This quadruples the damage, right? So one swing with a Polukranos would be lethal for the attacker?
That's sort of a thing.

Still more goodness to come here at the #mtgktk party. Don't leave/go to bed. #spoileralert

?
This has got to be fake, right?
Edit: Can also confirm that Meletis Charletan is a possible blue rare.

I believe it, because calling the name of the mechanic and that it's a riff on Chroma is pretty impressive. Also, it's a great design.

Hmmm... Could be legit?
No P/T in original post.
EDIT: No, wait, it's a 5/5 in that post
