    I personally think it will have planeswalkers that have personal beef with him and/or have fought against him. Ajani for white and possibly red or green, Tezzeret for blue and possibly black, Sarkhan Vol for red and possibly green and/or blue. Hey, they could even have a deck themed around Ugin, though that is unlikely.
    I like this because it's planewalkers that have gotten little screen time, and aren't part of the screen-hogging Gatewatch. (Liliana being the exception.)

    Every piece of art with Liliana in it this block has been nothing but amazing. Even box art with her on it is awesome.

    Maybe because it was an octopus I misread its name as "Elder Deep-Fried". Would it be tasty?

    It would be insanely delicious.

    Put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of target creature.

    I agree with herbalT. Chromatic Lantern is going to be 1 of many requirements to make these decks run smoothly. Hell, I'll take an effective reprint with a different name if need be.

    Quote from 256k »
    In addition to giving myself hexproof, which is great, my other strategy when I have a deck that's extremely graveyard dependent is to run cards like Jester's Cap, Nightmare Incursion, and Sadistic Sacrament. I don't run these cards in most decks because just removing my opponents best cards from their library isn't very impactful, and even against combo decks, most have enough redundancy or a strong enough backup plan that one Jester's Cap activation won't fully neuter them. When I'm playing a graveyard deck however, especially in 1v1, it is absolutely worth a card in order to strip all the gravehate out of my opponent's deck.


    Don't forget about Earwig Squad. Another way to stop the artifact ones from happening is Krosan Grip, which will also help with removing the exiling enchantments. I also second in using Voidslime as it will deal with any version that will pop up in a game. City of Solitude also a pretty good way to protect your graveyard on your turn, and if you ever run a graveyard deck with white as a color, Grand Abolisher will be even better.

    Created exactly what I need.

    I am going to print this off as a funny proxy, and play it as my 101st card.


    A few nitpicks:

    1. "Enchant" isn't a card type any more, and I'm not sure where you are trying to go with that since the card doesn't seem to be an aura anyways. Probably it should just be a Legendary Land.
    2. There are no cards that I'm aware of that target a "graveyard" so, as worded, this does nothing. You want it to read "cards in your graveyard have hexproof."
    3. This doesn't give YOU hexproof, so things like Bojuka Bog will still hit you even with the rewording.
    4. Even if it did give YOU hexproof as well, Relic of Progenitus would still hit you.

    You could maybe do the wording to read "spells and abilities your opponents control cannot cause cards in your graveyard to be exiled," but I'm not sure the rules can currently support an ability like that.


    Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe this is is better?

    If I were to go in creating a new graveyard protector, I would make a card that would Ghostway your graveyard, like "2: Exile your graveyard. Return those cards to your graveyard at the beginning of the next end step."

    Reprinting things doesn't devalue the brand. Maybe your cards, but if more people are playing the game because it's affordable, the better off the company will be.

    That, and if reprinted, the cards will generate more interest in the formats, which will in turn keep their value, possibly even more than it was before the reprint. This has happened before.

    a usable-as-long-as-you-have 2C Maze of Ith.
    Sadly Displacer can only exile creatures, not lands.

    He's refering to how the Displacer returns the creature tapped, making it very similar to Maze of Ith in stopping attacks.

    posted a message on 4chan poster claims Egypt theme, then another Ravnica block to follow Inistrad

    Quote from Jiyor »
    Naga being used in name only would be ok as long as their creature type was snake. The only exception would be on Tarkir since its set in stone now that they'ed have to reuse the naga creature type there.

    Edit- Nagas on an Eyptian themed plane actally seems fitting.


    They changed Cyclopean Mummy to zombie creature type. Nothing is set in stone.

    This is true. Phage the Untouchable started out as a Minion, the around the Great Creature Type update was made a Zombie Minion. They changed her a third time to Avatar Minion, and that was in the first Conspiracy set. So, as Sanguivore said, nothing is set in stone.
    On topic with the thread, I like the idea of an Egypt themed plane, but ReReturn to Ravnica is something I hope it isn't. Someone mentioned it was a plane people wanted to see again, and I think Kamigawa, Dominaria, maybe even Alara are places I'm sure people would rather see in the upcoming sets.

    The wording on Conspiracy Theory needs to be changed so that it doesn't repeatedly trigger itself off of the same draw.
    Conspiracy Theory (Rare2)
    3B
    Enchantment
    Whenever an opponent draws a card, except from a sabotage ability, sabotage that player. (Look at his or her hand and choose up to one nonland card from it. He or she discards that card, then draws a card.)
