    Oracle of Theros ‏@OracleOfTheros 31 Aug

    There are many monsters on Theros, dragons are one of them.


    and yeah I corrected my assumption in number crunching

    Scorpions tend to be black. But it can go in the names section anyway for now.


    Understandable I figured though is it was black I'd have said wastes or even swamps directly

    Definition of SEDGE
    : any of a family (Cyperaceae, the sedge family) of usually tufted monocotyledonous marsh plants differing from the related grasses in having achenes and solid stems; especially : any of a cosmopolitan genus
    Never mind Sedges seem to be marsh plants, Black it is.

    Nice, this is the kind of nonsense I expect from an oracle. Someone is having fun. I like it.


    I know this is fairly brilliant marketing.

    I expect we'll get a card a day until the full set is spoiled.

    According to the Oracle, there's a common called Sedge Scorpion: https://twitter.com/OracleOfTheros/status/374966671620210688


    Given she said Wilds I'd assume Green?

    No Angels, No Vampires and No Goblins.

    The questions she's answering were posted on Sept 1st so it may be some time before she answers any new ones.

    Beware the wilds' Sedge Scorpion for it is Common


    So Sedge Scorpion common creature maybe green?

    What does it mean that the oracle is talking again?


    Sorry https://twitter.com/OracleOfTheros She answers questions and so far has spoiled one card a day since active.

    It's not a bad way to get some flavour answers

    Erebos whispers to me, there is a terrible monster in the sky who demands a sacrifice in exchange for its power.


    Abhorrent Overlord? I hope not

    Minotaurs are Red and Black it looks like mostly red

    Some minotaur may recognize Purphoros, few may be devoted to or recognize Erebos

    U/W using rootborn defenses or growing ranks and things get nasty real quick

  • posted a message on [[THS]] Artisan of Forms
    1U

    Creature — Human Wizard Rare
    Heroic — Whenever you cast a spell that targets Artisan of Forms, you may have Artisan of Forms become a copy of target creature and gain this ability.
    1/1

    Kinda surprised there hasn't been a thread for this yet.

    This is pretty interesting. I think it could work well in U/W or B/U control depending on what support spells you carry.

    there's going to be some interesting rule clarifications on this. Like what happens if you copy an opponent's god? If you don't have enough devotion to keep it a creature does it stay an enchantment or does it die? Or say you have enough devotion at first and you then get hit with a mizzum mortas and you lose it.

    Or if you copy a creature with evolve or somehow get +1 counters and then change the copy the counters should stay correct?

    Well we have Purphoros now

    Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, Purphoros deals 2 damage to each opponent.
    2R: Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.


    Creatures you control have haste.
    2R, {T}, Sacrifice a land: Put a 3/3 colorless Golem enchantment artifact creature token onto the battlefield.


    So if I had to guess Emissary would have fire-breathing or haste?

    I'm confident now that Heliod's Spear will do first strike maybe double strike on attack only?

    That's the third god that does nothing on empty board.
    I kinda see why Heliod is their boss, everyone else is just useless on their own.


    I wouldn't say scry 1 is useless,

    but it makes sense really Gods are dependent on having worshippers

    Well this is quite good ._.

    Just a quick Q: Since the Gods are Enchantments as well as Creatures when you cast them, can you counter them using both Negate or Essence Scatter?


    I would have to say it's essence scatter only once it's in play do you determine if it's a creature

    It's nice if you're going for a monstrous deck or bestow. Also has decent synergy With Nylea's pump ability with trample. You can easily get 5 or 6 G by turn 4.

    I miss the days of Birds of Paradise and turn 2 birthing pods.

    No turn 2 Boros Reckoners for us from now on.


    Turn 1 Forest: Satyr Hedonist
    Turn 2 Mountain: Boros Reckoner

    Didn't say it was good
