    Oh, that's easy:
    STE? nice.
    Kokusho? Nice. A little slow.
    Keiga + Yosei? Nice, if there's a deck for them. A little slow.


    uh?? ^^;; you expected Kokusho and Yosei to cost 5 or less? That would be ridiculous, they are powerful enough as they are.

    Now, is there room for this 4/4? Sure, this guy dodges sorcery speed removal; but when was the last time you saw Wrath of God?


    Errm.. any deck with white on it would at least have wraths in it's sideboard

    And wouldn't you rather *SPLASH* black for Graveshell Scareb? Or better yet, run a better creature that survives Wildfire?


    Why should I screw with the mana base? And this thing does survive wildfire (unless, of course you got 9 mana and activate it first, but why would you do such a thing is beyond me)

    Now, if it cost 3... I could see it being constructed playable; I mean that's a 4/4 attacking on turn 4 (3 w/ birds).


    Yeah because all cards need to be in the same power level than Ancestral Recall and Swords to Plowshares or else they suck. I mean.. Jitte costs 2? WTH? for that cost it should at least come into play with counters on it or something. As it is now, is badly overcosted because by turn 2 your opponent already will have how to pay a naturalize for it.

    I think that this shows that Solifuge is 4/3. The curvature of the unknown toughness isn't due to photo angle as shown in the first pic and second pic.

    I disagree. If anything your pic proves it's 4/1.

    Look at the curves of the 3 in the known p/t that you see in a regular card, then compare it to the "3" that is on the bottom of the scanned ones. The curves aren't nearly big enough. The curves are clearly a sign of the image being compressed and creating curves. If you look closely it's a one.


    Actually you can see how after the manipulation, the "1" becomes a blurred dark wide stripe, while the 3 loses it's fine curvy ends, and the curves in the main body blur into a thin semi-straight line just like in the discussed pic.

    The card to it's right

    Petrifying ? - 6G

    Creature - Warrior ? (the flash was too strong, and it reflected too much)

    ?

    Bloodthirst 3

    3/3


    First hint to bloodthirst sucking as we feared? =/ 7 mana for a 3/3 creature that situationally becomes 6/6 is not even good in limited.

    The searcher on the other is O_O.
    Realy nice and will see pretty much as much constructed play as Bribery. Could anyone please tell me, does the spell target or not. In other words, can I kill North trees with it?


    Im pretty sure it says "choose a permanent target opponent controls" So the answer to your question is YES! Grin

    wow this is awesome! good pictures + an italien speaker would add dozens of new cards to the spoiler in no time.

    Im a spanish speaker and italian is alike enough to spanish. I can understand like 75% of the text and I can say that what others have posted about the dragon and the replicate spells is correct.

    Maokun, if you can get a mana base that can regularly produce 1BB 3rd turn and then 1RGG fourth turn, in T2, I'd commend you.

    Umm I'm talking about Pillory? After transumting for 1BB I need 1WB which surely I already have for next turn.

    Hmm the more I think about pillory the better it gets. Yeah, you can try and scoff a 1 life loss per turn. But you would be running 4 of them, right? That would be 4 lifes per turn, plus you practically removed 4 of your opponent creatures. And black did get a little mechanic called trasmute so you can improve your chances of getting any card you want when you need it. Point at and laugh at your opponents when they waste their putrefies on their own creatures! Be the coolest kid in the block! Win the lottery! Yeah, this card is definitely cool. Grin

    Pillory of the Sleepless
    In a draft, cast it on your opponent's Moroii = Behold a grown up man cry

    Rumbling Slum
    As everyone has said awesome card. Im loving the flavor text and the way ith links the three GP guilds.

    Stitch of Time
    Umm.. I knew my four Uyos would come in handly some day. Anyway, I can't understand why are people bashing it so much. Let's see an scenario: It's your sixth turn and you got a Hunted Dragon (or another evasive fattie) in play. You also have at least 5 lands and your hand has some burn, maybe a 'clasm and a stitch. I say, why in the world wouldn't you love to cast the stitch after combat? If you win the flip is almost GG which is awesome, and if you lose it, that's ok, you've still got mana left and everything is going just as planned. But then people whines "but then I totally wasted 3 mana and a card because stupid luck", and I say: "uh? Magic is all about that! When you cast any spell you are risking having it either countered or destroyed right away if it becomes a permanent and you are left with tapped land and a bitter feeling".


    but that's what most annoys me. Because it will be played by noobie tims... and when you lose because of that card versus such a deck... it just sucks.


    uh, sorry? I missed when we started talking about Jitte in this thread :wink2:
