MTG Salvation

Great thread! I too am an aesthetic collector. I mainly focus on adorable art (in main sets, not Secret Lairs, etc.) and other striking art like the filigree creatures in Kaladesh.

History of Benalia is a great piece of stained glass art.

Let's say Guardian of the Guildpact is being blocked by a green creature with 3 power; the damage will be prevented by Guardian's protection. So what happens if I cast Test of Faith before damage is declared - does the ToF prevent the damage and add the counters before Guardian's own protection prevents the damage? Or does the green creature not actually deal damage to the Guardian due to its protection? I guess I just don't know the fine print of protection, I know it prevents damage, but is the damage "dealt"?

Nimana skydancer seems pretty good for Pauper cube. 2/1 flying and flash for 3, with one added ability - that's value

Tuktuk Rubblefort is interesting - it's a red version of warded battlements.

I really like the muted pastels of the promo art - reminds me of an old sci-fi cover or something.

This is a "bad" card as far as competitive cantrips go, but it is a new design, I'll give WotC that. Outside of instant/sorceries matter situations, Omen of the Sea seems just better overall.

Ah, so here's our value DFC of the set.

First mouse creature type??

Don't worry, Tiro, some day we'll visit a Pirates of Dark Water archipelago plane full of benthic behemoths most foul and you'll have the final laugh.

Muxus does not miss any non-shapeshifter goblins in Magic’s history I think.

There's at least Goblin Marshal.

I'd like this new forest art to be available in foil please!

Finally the changed the art of terramorphic expanse I was getting sick of that other art

Seriously - the art has been so bland on Expanse. At least this has all the colors it can fetch depicted in the art. I never understood the flavor the TE - just blasted landscapes and dark/dull colors. Doesn't fit flavor-wise into a lot of decks.

Will this follow the names of the Barren Moor cycle? Are we going to get Thriving Sandbar, Thriving Thicket, Thriving Cave, and Thriving Steppe? Probably not, but that'd be cute.

I'm sorry but talons are a hard limit for me.
