well dang that eldrazi has the power of ulamog, interesting feature with the regen one. so Card Advantage + Awaken. poltentially a 3 for 1. you missed Retreat to Emeria.
Coastal discovery reminds of mulldrifter, but instaed of getting 2 cards for 3 mana or a 2/2 flier + cards for 5 amna you can get 2 cards for 4 mana or a 4/4 haste creature + cards for 6 mana (so it is somewhat slower than mulldrifter)

I wonder why they removed annihilator on the eldrazi? Now they are pretty bland creatures that would only ever be any good to run at all due to colorless casting cost.
The two creatures seem very strong in Limited, but I'm not seeing anything for Constructed today. I want to like Coastal Discovery for control in Constructed, but the baseline power level of bad-Divination is pretty unforgivable.

Most of the Common/Uncommon Eldrazi from Rise were for limited and not constructed. Or do you see a lot of Pathrazer of Ulamog, Hand of Emrakul, and Ulamog's Crusher running around? (Maybe the last in Pauper).

Seems like they could have costed it at 2U or 1UU at least. Right now its kind of "Meh".
The Eldrazi are okay, strong in limited. I want to see some Eldrazi that make me want to play a constructed deck with them. Right now, they're kind of just colorless bland creatures that are big, but I don't see too much of this internal synergy that MaRo kept talking about at PAX. I'm going to need an army of Scions or something to cast all these fatties.
I like Retreat to Emeria. Definitely a neat little card, and not too bad for an uncommon. Four cmc is a little high, but at 3 cmc this card would have been pretty darn good in my opinion.
So my question is: Did spoilers start this week? I thought someone said next week?

Fair enough. I actually was taking a break when Rise came out, so this will be my first Standard season with Eldrazi. I'm still adjusting to this many high-cost creatures in the mix.

1UU would have been interesting, dang. Divination with a higher color requirement but sweet later-game utility could have really impacted Standard. Oh well.

Weird, there's no Maro article. Hopefully that one just hasn't gone up yet.
That is a shame for this wasthe one article I was expecting the most. Now I'm stuck with spamming F5. *Sigh*
Seriously, I'm refreshing the Mothership homepage every 20ish seconds waiting to see if it goes up, but no luck. He usually has the best day 1 spoilers too.
How was Annihilator unfun? It was pretty much the only reason running Eldrazi was fun. Annihilator 1 or 2 isn't game breaking. Maybe they just shouldn't have made Annihilator 4 and 6 cards? How do you go from 6 to 0 though?

It's more like a 5cc/4.5cc card, since you need to drop another land to make it even start doing stuff.

Mothership Spoilers start in earnest next week. This is just the last of the stragglers that weren't posted online previously from PAX.

Maybe they're saving 1UU for a rare-level draw spell one day.

I think Annihilator failing to return is less about it being too strong or unfun and more it simply being an uninspiring mechanic that didn't need to return. Eldrazi can do a lot of cool stuff without resorting to the same old sacrifice effect.
If they wanted to avoid Annihilator-style effects, they wouldn't have given Ulamog his on-attack trigger, after all.

I hope that day is today. Blue seems light on efficient draw this Standard.

And poor, poor bad draw spell.
Lots of good flavor here
Annihilator was too strong and mostly un-fun.

Breathe out.
Let your passion give you strength for the task at hand... And let the bashing begin!
