    There is a cycle of uncommon 'ordeals', it seems like.


    Yeah but those are enchant creatures, that might take the uncommon cycle, but I have to think were going to get at least a cycle of just straight Enchantments in Rare.

    Agreed if you're going to do token maker you need to use Purphoros

    Have we had any enchantments yet? and by that I mean just straight forward ones, no creatures or artifacts. I have to think there's some sort of cycle or something with that coming, probably a rare and an uncommon set

    I'd be surprised to see enemy colors in Theros. more likely in the other two sets, along with their respective dual lands and gods. Kiora has a good shot there as well.


    We already have one in Anax and Cymede at R/W

    We seem to confirmation of a B/W creature

    There are few, but one which is three. RT @qu4rantine: Which creatures on Theros admire/follow/worship both Heliod and Erebos


    If I had to guess it's the Chimera probably at rare

    If I had to guess I'd say the Chimera is B/W

    Which creatures on Theros admire/follow/worship both Heliod and Erebos


    The Cerebus is B/R

    I see Dreadbore going up in price.

    There is supposed to be another card in Theros that affects planeswalkers I hope it's blue or white

    yeah, but your stuck casting a 2/2 for 6 :| (i believe this is what he meant)


    No he screwed up. It was changed so quickly though I have to imagine the first article was written someone caught it, he rewrote it but the old article was still on the servers.

    I still have the original page, does anyone want me to make a screen cap or save the text?

    That can't be real. Art doesn't look "right" either.


    if it is then Starcity games has a lot to answer for

    game over Gruul wins

    2GR

    +1 Add X Mana in any combination of R or G where x is the number of creatures you have

    0 add a 2/2 satyr token with haste

    - 6 exile the top 7 card from your library then put any number of Land/and or creatures into play

    WTF?

    Sanguine Bond anybody? if they don't disenchant SB before your next turn, next turn you play this and it's a minimum 12 point life swing. Plus if you're playing mostly black and you've got Nykthos you might be able to start this turn 4

    I don't think the minor will get a weapon I can see ordeals and emissaries for sure. Beyer confirmed the Ordeal were inspired by the twelve labours of Heracles so i think a cycle of 5 per set makes sense

    Quote from Jedezter
    Rescue from the underworld isn't one of those?


    No Ordeals are definitely enchantments, most likely Enchant Creature

    As for extrapolating it's hard to say if it's going to be attack attack attack reward like OoP

    I could See Thassa's reward being Scry 3 or draw 2 or something like that. I just don't know if attacking is going to be the sole criteria it could be does combat damage, or if target creature damaged by so and so dies.. I'd like to think it's different triggers because otherwise you could put two or more on a hexproof creature and go to town

    From Doug Beyer's Tumblr

    I believe all those stories were at least considered for card designs across the block, although not necessarily expressed mechanically in the ways you suggest. The labors of Heracles in particular are represented in Theros as a cycle of “Ordeal” enchantments, which let a creature venture out, accomplish tasks, and return with a reward.


    So Ordeals are confirmed.
