third Planeswalker instance, I'm gonna go out and say a Warp Worldesque card. something that puts cards into play or could it be non-planeswalker? does the orb work like that? Perhaps a Level up creature that turns into a planeswalker? Level 12-Search your library for a Planeswalker etc...
I'm also sad that there is no allies and no landfall. maybe some sort of enabler. my timmy/johnny senses are tingling. I feel that this next Standard is gonna be a Summer of Combo. (crossing my fingers).

Did ALL the Allies just pack up and leave? I find it hard to believe there aren't any allies left on Zendikar. Also, it begs the question: if these "allies" aren't around now that the multiverse's biggest threat is here, were they ever really your allies to begin with?
maybe they were like, "ZOMFG! eldrazi titanz are here lets split up nao."
kidding aside, i think the ROE setting couldve supported them. i mean, zendikar is threatened by these titans and i think this is the best time to form a group of allies against them.
Perhaps the fact that the entire plane of existence in threatened, every creature in some way has become an Ally if possible. Of course, this would be impossible to do in RoE so I guess they simply left them out. No big deal. I wasn't craving anymore allies anyway, and I'm sure more than enough people agree with me based on the intense hate for 80% of the blokes.

Phylactery Lich will forever be known, to me at least, as Pimpin' Lich. Get up on it, suckas.
I would to have liked to seen a legendary ally as well. However, who isn't hyped about "merfolk" appearing 12 times? It seems the allies jumped ship but at least the fish are holding it down.
i remember some black guy once called me called me cracker i didnt know what he was meaning. but them i found out that it is a Racially motivated term for white people, based on the fact that we're the same color as Saltines.
Good to see Wizards wants to support that mechanic...
Yeah that really depressed me. I really, really, really like Allies.

Yea, those are MTG Bars. What can I say, I am a dork
Doing some Orbing, got zero results for Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Also nothing for "protection from colored spells"
That picture from a day ago seems fake to me.
I'm all for pointing out what I perceive as a bad decision, but I think most of the negative stigma comes from that knee-jerk, limbic reaction which in most ears sounds like "GRWHAHHAHHWHAHAAA, DAMN YOU HASBRO WIZARDS MARK ROSEWATER TARMOGOYF PRICES!"
I build rogue decks and sometimes they're good. Current:
What an allied deck needed was an Allied bomb...possibly legendary....
I'm really disappointed WoTC didn't give us that
I do not understand why you are making such a big deal out of this...anybody who was around in the past months know from the Wizards' official statements that Rise of the Eldrazi is not supposed to support the mechanics from Zendikar and Worldwake - e.g. landfall/allies/etc...
It sometimes pays off to actually read the rumors...then you aren't disappointed.

fyi Darkhaze there is a seperate thread for orb results. Solmancer is compile it all in the first post. here We're gonna look at all those crazy mana costs and numbers and arbitrially throw them together and make wicked crazy cheesy cards, until someone hits us with reality..
for me.. two things I just found and added to the other thread.. XG, xxG,xB and xBB for mana costs. (there is many other costs that are O.o ). these 4 intrigue me. especially anything that has XX, granted these costs could be Level up costs but that seems odd to have x in that cost. I'm hoping for either some interesting Land search/accel or maybe tokens for green and black its prolly some sort of drain/destroy/discard.
for that +10/+10 maybe it's a critter that gets the buff when blocking/blocked by eldrazi cards? that would be interesting and thematically appropriate. I have to say I'm happy about flash coming back.. makes me happy, love that mechanic.

Calling someone a Commie is flaming and must be stopped, but turning the word Conservative into a loaded pejorative and using it over and over again is perfectly acceptable.
20 hits for colorless. 17 of which we know are for eldrazi spawn. So 3 spells with ghostfire like text doesnt seem likely. Right?
Most likely this is so, especially since Ghostfire isn't reprinted (sadface to THAT).
Would anyone like to wager on them printing an "Eldrazi cards you own are colorless; colorless creatures you control get +1/+1" type card, just to mess with us?
EDIT - Also, regarding the XB/XBB costs that pop up, I imagine one of these will be used for Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief. She references herself, and a drain life for X seems appropriately vampire legend worthy.

I hope she's one of the three 3BB and not the one 5BB or she wont fit vampire.dec, vampires need more threats to keep removal off Nocturnus/Highborn or an insane bomb.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.
As for the card that references Planeswalker in its text, I expect something like Blood Oath (or Tarmogoyf, hehehe) as those are the only ways Planeswalkers have been referenced in text before.

They could have had ally creatures without doing the ally mechanic. The Creature type isn't really a mechanic. It honestly doesn't make sense for all the allies to just up and leave.
a. allies would never leave you hanging
b. didn't have their spark so they couldn't leave
c. doesn't support any of the other allies that were on the plane
I see this as being as bad as if all the elves disappeared from Llorywn when it turned into Shadowmoor and even that could be explained by crazy magic happening.
I'm usually not this hardcore about what WotC does but it just seems like a missed opportunity.
Allies were always going to be Zendikar/Worldwake specific. The new draft format is going to be 3 packs of RoE so to make allies viable in the new format as well as ZEN/ZEN/WWK there'd need to be another whole bunch of them. This wouldn't leave as much room for them to try new mechanics and would be just be repetitive.
