from what I read it was just a goofy error from someone that got the back image from online and got a fan made mock-up with a 6th color without noticing
How and why is Mystic Forge preordering for $20 foil pretty much everywhere? It's a core set and it's a sub $3 card everywhere. The foil multiplier is insane, it's like it's a premium/limited set rare/mythic...
I would argue that Golos, Tireless Pilgrim is more playable in that it can easily slot into any 5 color deck, but Forge needs either a colorless deck or a deck (commander anyway) of probably 30+ artifact/colorless cards. Star City Games has foil Golos for $10... and he's a viable commander option himself.
Is there something I'm not seeing? Sub $3 rare at prerelease, near zero potential to do anything worthwhile in standard, likely too slow for modern and beyond...
Hell, The new mythic swords from Modern Horizons only have a 300% foil multiplier by comparison... This has almost a 800-900% multiplier...
legacy eldrazi, and legacy players tend to foil out everything
And so my OCD with battle lands continues to torment me...
You sir, are not alone!
well, in this case this is a partial reprint (just like checklands were split between XLN and DOM) not an incomplete cycle (like tango and bicycle).
It's still possible that they will reprint the second half this fall (if the running theory of Kaldheim/norse plane is true we can have temples for the Norse Gods)
the main issue I see about being a fake is tied to what Maro said in his preview article: Cavalier of Flame being part of a Mythic cycle; add 5 wedge legend and 5 monocolor PW and the 15 mythic slot are completed. I don't see how Tarmo can be associated in a cycle to the Cavalier
Well, if devotion ever becomes a thing again... (Doubtful since it's high up on the storm scale, but...)
Devotion is currently at 4 in the storm scale so not far high, said that this is just a GG for devotion like plentiful other cards, just his ability is really color intensive
After seeing this I am going to predict several things that have been mentioned.
We are going to Kaldheim (spelling?) in the Fall.
We will see regular Snow Lands in that set this fall.
We will have Snow Token generation cards in that set.
Skred will get a reprint there.
Garruk will be back in Kaldheim. He will have snow mana in his casting cost.
Garruk will have a + or - target creature loses indestructilbe until end of turn. So he may "kill" Marit Lage.
Time will tell I suppose even though this card won't be playable in Standard.
Maro explicitly stated that for this set they used as main themes (not single card-keyword) mechanics that standard didn't need for years to come, so I don't expect Snow, Sliver, Ninja in standard for a bit. Nothing stops going to Kaldheim without the Snow mechanic
Hopefully we still get Gerrard at #12 with mono-white casting cost but some activated ability with red!
MaRo said that the mono white legend of the cycle is Sisay, and if he was to redo Gerrard he will be WR and in multicolor he is crunched out unless some title before the name Gerrard

on the Mothership on Monday, maybe we can get something else during the weekend

EW is already modern legal

yeah, it seems REAL COOL
