Spree = Mandatory Kicker
As they say, everything is just a variant of kicker or horsemanship.

There are a few other "Silencers" already.Quote from Crispen_Smith »Coming soon to a set near you: "Steve, who also silences people'.
They could turn it into an Oprah moment: "You get to be a Silencer, you get to be a Silencer, EVERYBODY gets to be a Silencer!" -

Lectrys posted a message on [MKM] Assemble the Players — ChannelFireball previewPossibly the most powerful card in the set. If the deck can support it, Modern Yawgmoth "Combo" can play pretty much its entire creature suite with this card. Multiples should let you play more than one matching creature from the top of your library per turn. And yes, Grist, the Hunger Tide is a matching creature.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

headminerve posted a message on [STX] Efreet Flamepainter— Ally Warfield previewA cousin between Wildfire Eternal and Prophetic Flamespeaker, that saw no play. 4 mana, do nothing, no evasion, not even an attacks trigger. This is lightyears behind Dreadhorde Arcanist guys !Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

login posted a message on [STA] Stone Rain— Mashable preview"Mystical Archive cards will be legal in Historic (but not Standard), though seven will not join the format due to power-level concerns—this includes Swords to Plowshares and Demonic Tutor. While we've let the folks previewing cards know whether it will be legal in Historic (and they can share that as part of previewing the card), it's easy to miss those notes in all the excitement."Posted in: The Rumor Mill
So far not legal:
Channel
Counterspell
Dark Ritual
Demonic Tutor
Lightning Bolt
Swords to Plowshares

Guesswork posted a message on [KHM] Immersturm Skullcairn and The Bloodsky Massacre— Miguel Simoes previewsPosted in: The Rumor Mill
It's a parachute. The problem is that B/R beatdown players don't want a parachute, they want to jump out of the plane buck naked and screaming.Quote from Crispen_Smith »My only thing with that land is that something must gone horribly wrong with your gameplan in BR for you to want Blightning that costs 5 mana. But as a "break in case of fire" option it seems like a good one.
I'd argue that it's the kind of card that red aggro decks never want, but are often forced to accept because their Plan A isn't good enough.Quote from Decadent_Creed »The land is the kind of reach that red aggro decks always want.
I mean, an uncounterable Bolt to the dome could hypothetically be a part of Plan A. But, 1) it's five mana, and; 2) the discard is essentially worthless at that point. It goes back to what Crispen Smith said, in that as a beatdown player, the place where this is useful is a place you never want to be, and in fact should not even plan for. If you have to, it means your deck doesn't have what it takes. -

Flamebuster posted a message on [KHM] Invasion of the Giants— Amazonian previewPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Tormented »Quote from Flamebuster »If someone was wondering who the invaders were, they could be told, "They Might Be Giants."
Sorry I had to

OMG...now I am so sad that WOTC didn't just pay whatever the cost was to have them do a preview card. Unfortunately I don't think a single song they did had anything to do with giants, snow or planeswalkers fighting phyrexians, nor did they really have anything heavy or even light metal. But still. I lol'ed.
Mirrodin is New Phyrexia. The song could totally take off.
So if you've a date in Mirrodin she'll be waiting in New Phyrexiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Rune of the Strong 2G

sleeper agent 2.0 posted a message on [KHM Leak] Righteous ValkyrieExciting of them to make a card the supports the obscure cleric creature type! Hopefully they will explore this design space more in the future. A deck built around clerics would be neat. It might be cool for there be more support of creature types in general, giving a "tribal" bonus of sorts to creatures of a certain tribe. Has WotC tried that yet?Posted in: The Rumor Mill - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Since it's the +1/+1 counters that gets doubled isn't it a 2/2 with 2 counters and then a 2/2 with 4, or a 4/4 and then a 6/6 and only then a 10/10 on turn 6?
Edit: nevermind I forgot about the extra counter every turn.

I had this problem with Star Whale being 8/8 only and got into hot water. I guess we just accept that flavor and function can't always line up.

Further to that though, I'm not at all sure the original complaint has any merit, there's precedence for this. In Zendikar we call it Landfall in the rest of the multiverse it's "whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control". Names are specifically linked to contexts all the dang time.

Ah, that makes sense, I never played much draft back then.

This is just never a good look on anyone. It's great that you are passionate about MTG, and about your MTG experience, and saying you are not into this product is actually awesome.
But the way you say it.. it's like saying that grocery stores shouldn't be allowed to sell mangos because yellow foods are wrong.

"Need" presupposes their goal is clarity. It's entirely reasonable that they are comfortable leaving us speculating for ~24 hours to build hype.
That being said, the vast majority of interactions with this card can be inferred from pre-existing rules. Speculation on the other scenarios and possibilities is part of the fun.

Guessing? I think that's exactly why Stun tokens exist.
