Seems less than amazing in this set considering there's at most 12 cards triggering it, but if we get a few commons it might be less terrible. (Was the Wretched Hippogriff a common?)

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
Clearly meant to help out Emerge, but even then this doesn't seem like the best. It would have been nice if it was colorless creatures, rather than Eldrazi only, although I guess that would mean the colored ones here wouldn't be affected by it, but whatever.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I know "cast triggers" are usually the way the Eldrazi do things, but I honestly thought that it would have been slightly more flavorful if it had been ETB instead, since Chittering Host and Brisela (as CMC 7 and 11 Eldrazi) would trigger it.
I know that makes the card worse technically (since as it is worded, you still draw if the spell got countered anyway), but I was thinking that since there are probably only 12 direct Eldrazi Creatures at most in the set (and I don't think all 12 of them are creatures), that the transform/melded cards would be able to trigger it as well, as narrow as they are already.

Regarding the flavor text, "Sentinelles" here means "Gatewatch", it's our group of heros that's overwhelmed ("Oath of the Gatewatch" translates to "Le Serment des Sentinelles" in french). Otherwise yeah, your translation is correct
I thought there're was a thread about EMN not filled with Eldrazi? So what's this card doing in this set? How does it work with SOI in draft? It's abit out of place it it serves just a handful in limited. Please don't kid me if anyone thinks it's for Standard...

The set supposedly won't be an Eldrazi Swarm like BFZ/OGW. Jury's still out on that. As for the rest, this is simply an uncommon that serves Commander purpose. Had this been rare it'd be cause for sour grapes but as is, eh? Also, a Green ramp deck that drops this and follows it up with World Breaker seems like a thing.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
With Investigate gone, maybe the UG draft archetype is going to be Emerge/Eldrazi? Ongoing Investigation and Ulvenwald Mysteries seem like they would work well with Emerge to replace all those creatures you're sacrificing.
I think it's pretty terrible. As initially played, you have a card that does nothing, so you've paid 4 mana to lose card advantage. Then you would need to cast 3 big eldrazi cards to just break even with Harmonize, a card that is decent but not overpowered.

Uhm...after 2 Eldrazis you're already beating out Harmonize. Just saying.

In Standard: yo dawg, I heard you like to winmore.
In limited; yo dawg, I heard you like dead draws.
In EDH; yo dawg, I heard you wanted to run an eldrazi deck and an asuza deck so I put an eldrazi deck in your asuza deck so you can be hated off the board even faster.

Whenever you cast an Eldrazi creature spell converted mana cost 7 or greater, draw 2 cards.

Also, I sorta get the gist of what the flavor text is saying, even if my French is a bit rusty (read: VERY rusty).
RUNIN: Norse mythology set (awaiting further playtesting)
FATE of ALARA: Multicolour factions (currently on hiatus)

I'm here to tell you that all your set mechanics are bad
#Defundthepolice
Seems a good translation.
I know that makes the card worse technically (since as it is worded, you still draw if the spell got countered anyway), but I was thinking that since there are probably only 12 direct Eldrazi Creatures at most in the set (and I don't think all 12 of them are creatures), that the transform/melded cards would be able to trigger it as well, as narrow as they are already.
Talking about creatures though, I wished it didn't state creatures, so we could draw 2 cards off All is Dust, Eldrazi Conscription, Not of This World and Skittering Invasion as well.
Yeah, my guess was "Eldrazi hordes and cultists penetrated the defenses of Thraben, and the Gatewatch were soon overrun."
Hum no I think your right "Sentinelles" is the translation for Gatewatch.
These gatewatch murderhobos need some saving lol
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
And Zombies...
This card is meh and considering 3rd pack in draft has no Eldrazi(SoI) this card is EDH fodder for the most part.

Apparently it will still have crappy, parasitic Eldrazi cards though. Disappointing.
LIARS THIS IS GOING TO BE ELDRAZI FOCUSED WERE ALREADY ALMOST TO 10 ELDRAZI LIKE CARDS IN THIS SET
(I know what they said I. The other thing but look at all of these cards that involve the world eldrazi.)

I know that would have Ben great in my ramp deck but that's what to exspensive.
