Super excited about the hidden treasures, but they aren't going to affect the prices of the rest of the set much, since their extreme rarity will ensure that most sane people aren't going to be cracking cases just o get their hands on them.
If only that were true...I have a feeling that this is going to be the best standard ever for value. This set will be ridiculously opened like Khans which will make for some very cheap staples. Now we just have to hope for some cards with long term value that appear at a rate of more than 1 a case.
It just seems like the effect of ingest is too small to be relevant considering that it isn't scaleable. I know cards have been written with two instances of an ability like cascade, cascade. But so what. How would ingesting 2 cards matter when you're dealing with threats as big as the eldrazi. A 3/2 can only exile six cards before it kills you... and that is one of the small ones.
Ingest seems weak but interesting. I wonder why they templated it the way they did instead of assigning a number like they did with an anhilliator... oh well I'll just hope the new Ulamog will read.
So the xenophobic elf supremacist in her first act on Lorowyn threatens an elf in the defence of a bogart? Really wizards I know you want Nissa to be more likeable but come on. And then have her run home to escape the darkness of Shadow moor within minutes of arriving. Not a great story.
The problem with white devotion isn't achieving it. It's doing so for what purpose. Other than nythakos... that card is great in any deck that can use it.
After seeing tainted cure... I have never hoped so much for the grove of the burnwillows cycle to be completed. Please wizards... make it happen.
I wouldn't hold your breath- a complete cycle of these would turn Modern upside down.
Now, they certainly *can* reprint Grove of the Burnwillows itself...
You're probably right. But these 'future shifted' cards had to come from somewhere. So let's say Grove of the Burnwillows was on Regatta. And they let the R/B one slip in that would be a way to ease a new one into modern. A time spiral like set of duals could be pretty flavorful for this block.
