Whats is dat ugly blue black Zombie token ?
A Childs drawing ?
I kind of like it. Reminds me of the old artwork of the early days. Not the computer generated stuff that gets churned out all the time. That token will probably also be around a dollar a piece as well as I don't believe its ever been printed before.
Here's a list of her other cards to get a feeling for her style.
It was mentioned on the stream Lynde was previewed in that avoiding Overwhelming Splendor is the main reason she's Grixis and not Mardu.
I don't quite follow this logic... I mean, as soon as Overwhelming Splendor lands on you, she will lose all abilities and you'll not move it to anyone else and get your cards. So it's completely stupid to play Overwhelming Splendor when she's out... I don't feel you need to set her color identity to prevent players from playing that total non-bo?
so the last one animates lands to wolves thats nice but that made a brutal error and made the cmc 2G when should have been 1G since thats the cmc for the other 4
Anyone remember when "Demon, flying, trample, X/X for Mana Value X" was attached to a huge downside??
Of course, this is hardly the best demon around, just the MV of 6 makes it unplayable in many decks and even formats, but it still feels weird to me to get something with all upside.
I wonder how he fits in story-wise, seeing he's the size of Elder Demons...
Wir zerstäuben ihr Parfum wie Nieselregen in die kranke Nacht
Schaben mit den Scherben ihrer Duftwasserflacons
Die Gemälde ihrer Ahnen
Aus den reich verzierten Rahmen
Wo wir nun selber prangen...
... grausam und erhaben
- Nocte Obducta - Hexer (Verflucht)
Sorry, just couldn't resist.
Translation:
We vaporize their perfume like drizzle into the sickened night
Scrape with the shards of their toilet water flacons
The paintings of their ancestors
From their opulently adorned frames
Where we ourselves now hang resplendent ...
... cruel and exalted
Anyway, I really love her showcase Murderous Rider. It indeed reminds me a lot of old Magic art, specifically Andi Rusu (e.g., Lost Order of Jarkeld and many of the legendary creatures in Legends like Rasputin Dreamweaver).
So in German, "Kürbis" is the pumpkin - can't imagine that that's sheer chance.
Moorland Rescuer: I am reminded of Goethe's Poem Der Erlkönig - I just hope the Rescuer is more successful.
Otherworldly Gaze looks pretty good, though it does not draw you a card. Can be useful, anyway.
And we have a new, rather worse Tragic Slip...

This obsessive astronomer needs to go to bed, however...
So we're now getting extended artwork versions of Commander-only Commander cards? This is new, right?
He did get trample, but the Profane Prince was indestructible and a 9/7.
(I'm an astronomer myself, I get to say that.
