It fits in thematically with much of what greek myths are about - heroes becoming greater over time. It is not like double sided cards (which flip back and forth but instead represents training, god's champions etc.
I would bet that they have tweaked levelers somehow and renamed it god's favour or something. It could also be champion mechanic (avatar or something) that has been reworked.
If these are real - what does it say about the guild mechanics? I would have thought the guild leaders would play into guild mechanics...
Maybe landfall returning for Gruul... or maybe something with land in hand (discarding land - Maro did talk about the previous incarnation of landfall having to do with land used in a different way).
What about boros - nothing to think of there really - maybe tapping creatures as an ability (attacking and then allowing them to tap again would help).
It is very funny to read this thread after reading his and see we hit on the token idea (double sided) with a regular card (normal back) realtively early. Too bad mechanically they couldn't do this...
I really agree with him - I think the cards will feel right when you play with them.
I really think we need to play with the cards and draft them before we judge... we must assume wizards did this
I bet that having some information about what others a drafting may make drafting better not worse or at least interesting in a different way, It is like a partial rochester draft...
If you look back I proposed a double sdied token with a single sided day card (with normal back) and people still jumped down my throat and said I was ignorant...
I didn't get it exactly right but was pretty close...
I think this will be great!! I love that people are now talking about the mechanic...

I would bet on those two things.

Just thoughts

Thanks jedimindtricks.... i was a little off on the token being able to represent every dual sided card but you can't win them all....
I hope this is a fun set to draft cause that is what I primarily do!

Do you not think people will just buy opaque sleeves from here on out?

that is when the cards will transform
