MTG Salvation

Quote from sleeper agent 2.0 »

I'm thinking what Jin was trying to do no was a far more modern version of that - they know there is no simple organ but with all the resources and technology and magic they were looking for a way to harvest a spark of some sort. (Which we separately know is possible through the magic of the elderspell that Bolas did.)

They don't even need to look far away from new phyrexia for a way to do that... Back in Mirrodin Memnarch transformed part of the core into a spark transfer machine soo he could steal Glissa's spark...

I don't get why they did a keyword soup matters Odric again when it was just one aspect of him(his last iteration)(Odric, Lunarch Marshal)
Remember, Odric keyword soup was a representation of his finesse in combat tactics and leadership... Just remember his first card Odric, Master Tactician.

This new version makes no sense both in flavor, gameplay/powerlevel and in fanservice. A total failure. If it was an uncommon in a set like commander legends then it would be understandable but this was printed in a standard set, on the set where he turns into a vampire=becomes more powerfull... What a joke.

Shark Typhoon Agroo version lets go

This is even worse.

Like a 6-sided dice, ok, maybe someone has one, not guaranteed.

A spin-down d20? sure somebody has one, almost guaranteed.

But a d12 ? Good luck ...

In case you missed the news, it has been repeatedly stated that you are NOT supposed to use spindowns for dice rolls as all of the high rolls are right next to each other and anyone half decent at rolling dice would be able to ensure a 10+ roll 90+ percent of the time.

Wotc taking dumb decisions? Nothing new . At least allow ppl to roll with a cup…..

Just use equipments if u want to abuse the firebreathing ability, once u get 20 power u can unequip and pump it to activate again.

Quote from flaming infinity »

Do beholders actually fly or just levitate a bit off the ground? Flying in Magic tends to imply being very high for evasive purposes. It doesn't seem to have any need to try and evade you. That just makes it harder to blast you with its eye powers. It also seems to do just fine with the eye stalks. It immobilizes you and causes you to act for it. From what I can see, it does quite well at representing a beholder just like Tarrasque does everything it's supposed to do. It just isn't as overpowered as some people want it to be so they can whine about it being overpowered later.

Yes Beholders are ok without flying because of their “slow” levitate speed
NO! The Tarrasque is not ok without some form of unlimited recursion (like returning to deck) and a way to trample over a bunch of creatures, even ones with deathtouch, fighting one is not ok, the sight of the tarrasque is the doom for towns, even with multiple people defending it. Not having trample and a way to return is just bad design and flavor(on the d20 set why not just make a “when tarrasque dies, instead of putting it into the graveyard roll a d20 and put it on top of its owner library beneath that many cards.”)

such a miss

Please tell me that the frog is the walker.

Like the suspend mox this will not see play in modern but be pricy...

Well with the amount of food clue and treasures in the set this thing will be scary with flash.

This is a goyf killer and a Death Shadow card at the same time

I have not seen a single card from this product here, despite it being silently previewed since the end of Double Masters.

Card image gallery is here:

New mechanics:

Double team - when a creature with this attacks, you may conjure a copy of it into your hand. Then both cards lose double team-

Specialize - a digital-only twist on transformation. Pay the cost, discard a card, transform the card into one of its other versions, dependent on what color or basic land type the discarded card was.

This emulates your character multiclassing / changing the class. Used on legends, The transformed versions have the same art as the paper versions, but different coloring. The exceptions are specialize cards that are Arena exclusive (the tiefling disciple Klement and especially the druidess Lukamina, who changes into different animals)

Reimagined cards - use the same picture as the paper version, but have different names and rules text.

This. When I heard there's going to be a vampire Odric, I thought they'd give him some "manipulate combat" ability, because that's pretty thoroughly white/red and in line with his core "personality".

Nothing that removes curses explicitly

Today's MTG Arena Announcements from the mothership, https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-announcements-october-27-2021, strongly hint that two card names in Crimson Vow are Olivia, Crimson Bride and Sorin the Mirthless. Guess Olivia could be the Vampire Noble, but it really looks like she won't be in the duo card (I'm still betting on Hal and Alena or Ludevic and Olag).

Or maybe Thalia and Saint traft.


Btw the “A legendary character returns, but now as a vampire” could be a Sorin legendary creature… On other hints Maro uses “Lengendary Creature” but with this hint he specially said “Legendary Character” well, planeswalkers have now the legendary type, and if sorin loses his spark and is printed as a legendary creature, then he would be a Vampire this time…

Also the obvious guess for the mechanic is Bloodthirst

The could be giving Sorin similar technology as Grist, the Hunger Tide. If so it could have some fun interactions with Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord and Forerunner of the Legion as well as allowing him to be a commander. For the guild mechanic a part of me hopes they give haunt an upgrade like how chroma became devotion. It's super flavorful and with spirits getting a commander deck disturb is most likely not coming back.

Except for the Zendikar Rising trailer none of the trailers are meant to be fully canon and just give the views an idea of what the set is about. They likely used Jerren, either character and/or just the name, since he's a character in lore who fits as the church orphanage abusive leader.

well now we get the shock of are lives

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/returning-legends-innistrad-midnight-hunt-2021-09-17

But Ormendahl succumbed to the Eldrazi's corruption, and Jerren was killed along with the rest of the Council during the Battle of Thraben.

So jerren died during eldritch moon and Ormendahl suffered the same fate as gisela and bruna when they turned into Brisela, Voice of Nightmares

for those playing at home why does jerren and ormendahl have cards when ones dead and the other is eldrazified

Too bad that Avacyn Memorial is just a weaker version of the real Avacyn for the same cost

Quote from Mana Goat »

As of now the old versions will still enter in their daytime form, however once they do transform they will be in sync with the new cycle system.

Wrong, if you don't play a spell on your turn but your opponent plays a instant, then all the new werewolf will transform (nightbound) while the old ones will keep being humans.

Yeah, my mind skipped over that only on a players own turn part, tiny text is really annoying on a phone. This does however make the newer werewolves even scarier than the old ones, as with the older version your opponent could try to stall the transformation. Now one turn of no casting or if someone uses Moonmist on someone else's turn things could get dicey.

Even worse now is if you try playing the old and new werewolves in the same deck and try to keep track of everything.

Quote from TwinfrodoPhoenix »

It does say on the token card is you keep track only after a daybound card enters play.

It says you track day/night once it becomes day or night or a daybound permeant enters the battlefield.
While it would need further clarification, with that reading it becomes night if your turn 1 is play a land pass as you cast no spells and thus day/night needs to be tracked for the rest of the game.

Quote from leslak »

If Arlinn costed 3 (1RG) she would be playable beyond standard and commander.

Green Legendary creature gonna see some standard play with finn (the 1G death touch legendary from kaldheim).


About the Day/Night card i hope it only enters play after you play a transform card otherwise you would need to keep track since turn 1, and yeah, not good.

It does say on the token card is you keep track only after a daybound card enters play.
