also: I actually kinda like that 2/3 defender. even if he doesn't have flying.
Cowed by Wisdom seems pretty high up on the Awesomea Scale, though. Freed from the Real is cool, but I'm not much of a blue player. the Oboro Envoy's ability is not very blue-feeling, but whatever.
Cowed by Wisdom and Freed from the Real are excellent! as for the others, i just have to hope there are card draw engines besides returning land into your hand. half of these cards you won't be able to play because of all of your mana will be stuck in your hand!
notice Loreweaver is pumpable... only have 3 cards in hand? got mana? no worries!
I'm liking the Cowed by Wisdom. Similar to Brainwash on so many levels, yet potentially better.

All of these are so cool!!! I am definitely going to get 2+boosterboxes of this set. This set looks like it will be the new Apocalypse, not the new Prophecy.
The scrollkeeper is great. The moonbow illusionist is a cool casual card. That one soratami is better than wak-wak. Wak land only reduces flyers. I am loving all these hand size matters cards. This set looks like it wont suck like betrayers did...
BTW-Betrayers DID have teh jitte of death,but most of the other cards were teh suxorz...

Counter target spell. Draw cards equal to that spell's converted mana cost. "My brain hurts."

Just thought that I'd point out that Overwhelming Instinct in the first post is wrong. It's counter target creature spell, which makes it considerably worse.

Ah, thought it was wrong.
I fixed it.
Anyone else find it weird that we have a source that got precons and we are getting scans of precon sheets?
It's certainly a new way to get info.

Well, the Onna do seem like a cycle, although I'd be quite surprised if we saw Yuki-onna as a non legend critter, I mean, there's only one. Great finds by the way guys, what a treat these last couple of days have been.
Am I the only one who finds Oboro Envoy weird? You would think it should be "until end of turn", wouldn't you?
That's a VERY good catch. Either the card is a misprint, and should say 'until end of turn' (in which case I will buy 4 copies of the Envoy in Spanish to compensate for Meloku the Clouded Mirror), or Wizards just created a common BOMB in Limited.
EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. An UNCOMMON Bomb in limited.
If that's no typo, then that card is darn strong in limited at least, and who know's what else.
I could see him in MUC with that ability, and he'd have an ability that could weakly substitute for shackles when that rotates out of the format, if a muc build could be playable post rotation.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
The Orobo Envoy is undoubtedly strong in limited, and I can't help thinking that his ability seems more white than blue. When was the last time Blue got something that reduced a creature's power? It's cool, don't get me wrong, it's just... permanent, and thats crazy.
The same thing applies to the kitsune too, his toughness bonus is permanent too, so turn after trun this guy can get real huge in the ass and block everything grounded from your opponent. hmmm, nice cards, but... kinda crazy.

No, the Kitsune Loreweaver SPECIFICALLY says 'until end of turn'. No permanent bonus for him.
At the very left part of the picture where Overwhelming Intellect is, there's 5 cards at the edge of the image. 2 of them are blue,1 is red,1 is green,and the last one only has a black border. Also, on the bottom-right of the Moonbow Illusionist there's the upper-left corner of another blue card.
I'm not saying this is useful information...just that whoever took the picture knows more than they are letting on. :grin2:

Actually, that was me cropping the picture to split in the threads and rotating some. I think the full thing is too large to upload?

The two green cards and single red card above the Bonesetter, Intellect and Onna are in the Spirit Flames thread. We've already seen the cards.
The blue card on the bottom right of the Illusionist is Overwhelming Intellect.
The scan has just been sliced up and reoriented so that we can see the cards.
A soldier! Weird. The only other kamigawa soldier i remember is of course bushi tenderfoot, but he's really a samurai in disguise......
even so, unless you wanted to abuse the cip ability of a white creature (and i can't think of any offhand that i'd want to....), the ability is not very good, except at abusing spiritcraft....

This card reminds me a lot of Hammerhead Shark. This appears to be a very playable card for constructed.

I don't want to start a riot, but is this possible evidence that we may see that Library of alexandria variation in Saviors, as has been speculated?
Nice scans, my many thanks to our source(s)!
