Well I believe today is Maro's article about proliferate so hopefully either an enchantment or couple of creatures related to the mechanic would be nice. Possible that Roalesk might be offically previewed today.
I would have thought with there being 4 Gods that they, with Bolas, would complete a cycle using the shard colours. So I would see them as:
Kefnet - WUB - Esper (likes hoarding knowledge for innovative methods - of ridding Bolas of enemies)
Bontu - BRG - Jund (still ambitious but now believes in sacrificing the weak so the strong survive)
Bolas - UBR - Grixis (no explanation required)
Oketra - WUG - Bant (likes gathering people in solidarity but now uses that to trap people to kill them en-masse)
Rhonas - WRG - Naya (previously saw himself as the first line of defence. Now used as a one man battering ram)
Isn't messing around with time how we started the whole mending business in the first place? They can't really use time travel shenanigans in this without some MAJOR repercussions down the line in a few years.
I would like to know the story behind that hippo getting eternalized...
It was mentioned in the Amonkhet fluff that it was not only worthy humanoids that were eternalized. Indeed it seemed many dangerous creatures (or more likly those with a vicious temperament that Bolas would like) would also benefit from this process.
Whelp. I guess this all but confirms (if it's legit) that the Gods are returning. Plus looks like the ginger planeswalker is called Kasmina. Look forward to the return of my Rhonas!
And as a joke, the first thing they should spoil on April 1st is RRR Tibalt with Blood Moon stapled to him and a +1 that makes 1/1 devils or something absurd.
Damn straight. I'm waiting on the reveal of Tibalt, Savior of the Multiverse. Should be craking.
I'd disagree. Mainly because that's exactly how commanders work. If someone is to destroy my commander it sets up that step where I decide if I want its destination to be the graveyard or its command zone. Same here. Annie detects a creature on the way to the graveyard and changes its course instead.
Hi there. In answer to your question I believe the scenario would play out as follows:
1. Siren of the Fanged Coast (original) enters. The opponents pays tribute to prevent theft.
2. You cast Quasiduplicate targeting Siren of the Fanged Coast.
3. A new copy enters of Siren of the Fanged Coast enters. The copy would not enter with the +1 counters that the original has but would trigger its tribute ability (as it is an enters the battle ability) forcing the opponent to give the new Siren 3 +1 counters or have it theft one of his creatures.
Hi there. Your assumption is correct. Anafenza would prevent the second trigger from Patron of the Vein.
To explain it ingame the situation would play out as such:
1. Patron of the Vein enters. As part of it's ETB it gets to destroy or send target creature to the graveyard.
2. Target creature whilst on its way to the graveyard triggers Anafenza's ability.
3. As part of the ability instead of going to the graveyard Anafenza exiles the target creature instead.
4. Patron of the Vein checks to see if a creature has died as per it's second ability. However the condition of "dies" is having target creature go to the graveyard (even if it shuffles itself back into the deck afterwards such as Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre). However Anafenza has instead exiled the creature instead of allowing it to go the graveyard so Patron's ability does not trigger.
Hope this helps or someone can explain it in a more comprehensible manner.
Oh also I’m sure they will riot at mtg if they don’t make a 5-color superfriends support legend if there’s that many walkers as well
Lol as a user of a 5-colour superfriends deck I wouldn't say no to this. Although I'd rather have a 5-colour planeswalker commander for it first. It doesn't even have to be good just the option would be nice lol.
Probably not all in the standard set. I could see the artwork for Planeswalkers used in the trailer (the stained glass effect) as new artwork on existing cards in lieu of masterpieces in the set as this allows them to be more available to everyone.
next story isnt until feb 27th what the heck!? That is three weeks from the last story.
Maybe this last one will have a little more main plat impact if they are making us wait 3 weeks for it.
Really? Wizards website to me is suggesting the Orzhov story on the 20th and the Azorius on the 27th. Hope that sticks because I can excuse one week off lol.
Lol. To me it looks like it is asking after "a set" I.E. one year's product to have each deck based on a plane. Also like how Maro seems keen on the idea as well.
Personally I'd want either of two ideas. One is a Time Spiral effect where each commander and cards do things that aren't normally associated with their colours to provide (hopefully) intriguing new cards to spice up decks in an unexpecting way. Or 2, class tribal decks. I.E decks based on Monks, Soldiers, Shaman, etc.
Although top pic would be a jund -1 counters deck. Not likely for this year but I just want my Hapatra deck to play with the Scorpion God dammit!
About damn time. Perhaps the ghost quarter could come back too. I'd love a spirit Szadek and Agrus Kos to join this carnage.
