    They don't have a black or white border. So like the Amonkhet Invocations, they are unfortunately not tournament legal.


    Invocations are tournament legal.

    They updated the rule from "black" or "white" border to "non-silver"

    Were the HasCon cards they are creating alternate art or were they silver border cards?

    If alternate art, I could see this one being used with MLP characters

    I'm interpreting its art as a guy with a scarab on his head trying to get it off with its kopesh. That or it's trying to scratch its back.

    At least we get to avoid a long thread of people complaining that UB always mill.

    Loss of life like this counts as commander damage? That's quite the inevitability right there.


    Only combat damage counts as commander damage

    WAIT A MINUTE I JUST REALIZE IM RIGHT

    there is a way to get at the begining of your upkeep triggers

    the order is

    Beginning Phase.
    Untap Step.
    Upkeep Step.
    Draw Step.
    Main Phase.
    Combat Phase.
    Beginning of Combat Step.
    Declare Attackers Step.

    i turn the mirror into Celestial Convergencee at the Untap phase then it will trigger because its turned into it before the upkeep BAAM.


    Can't activate abilities or cast spells during the untap step

    Also if Eternalize is return to hand it plays nicely with cycling and discard matters from Amonkhet...


    For 5 mana on a rare, it will hopefully be something better than just return to your hand

    I know someone had 3 glorybringers

    No doubles in my 2 or anybody else's that I noticed

    Did see a lot of gods.

    My second pre-release (2hg) had angel of sanctions promo, blue god, white god, and cryptic command though

    I'm pretty sure that's not the same image that was on the booster mockups,
    so it's probably not on the PW card.


    There's likely 2 Bolas planeswalker cards, right? One in packs and one in a planeswalker deck?



    I could see them not doing a Bolas for a planeswalker deck since 3 colors would be much for newer players

    I wouldn't doubt him getting an invocation card though

    I'll call cats as the unexpected tribe...they do mention wily bandar as a joke in the article, and we did just get a cat lord.

    I find it interesting that there is an "embalm" on the punch card.

    I have 2 thoughts on this:

    1. It makes it easier if you don't have the token of the embalmed creature

    Or

    2. There will be a creature or enchantment that gives creatures in your graveyard embalm.

    Or both

    I enjoyed the set for limited.

    I did 3 with three pretty different builds

    First was ub control and fliers (fatal push, 2 daring demolition, malfunction, ice over, aethersquall ancient, mana crypt, etc) 3-0

    Second was RGb (no removal at all in this one. Splashed black for winding constrictor). This was usually a quick deck that just beat face with help from destructive tampering(lost one round because of mana flood) 3-1

    Third was 2hg. I played URb (black for hidden stockpile). I ran 2 srams expertise which was nice with fireweaver.
    Partner played gb.
    We had no bombs but just decent pool and went 4-0

    My MVP was destructive tampering. It having 2 modes to choose from made it a good card to use and pretty much never dead. Through the whole weekend it won me about 5 games

    I did two yesterday. 3-0 in the first with ub and tons of removal (and a mana crypt) and split the last round for prizes.

    Went 3-1 in the second event with a RGb aggro deck i was surprised did well.

    I splashed black for winding constrictor and that card is awesome.

    I had two lifecrafters gift, a ridgescale tusker and tons of energy producers with lightning runner as the payoff

    Saheeli Rai is $20...I should've bought them when I had the chance, just to flip them.


    Was able to find a store in Australia with some in stock. Bought 8 for around $50 total including shipping

    I'm sure this has probably been mentioned, but this, 6 mana in rocks/creatures, and capsize. I will be putting that in a few edh decks.

    Please DONT tell me this is our Christmas-gift ! im grateful, but how can one rejoice to Reprints, which are not affordable & not even T2-legal ?? Im utterly dissapointed

    I am quite sure that the surprise was announced for 26th. We will see.


    They have had a spoiler of some kind on Christmas for the last few years.

    They should have something today, but it's seeming like this might be it as the day gets later and later.
