I'm more interested in the fact that Wizards once again introduced a good mechanic that they had no intention of supporting outside of one set in a block, but, sure. Get your lols.
Does anyone else sense that it is still possible that Emrakul may be lurking in this set?
I hope not. If that was the case then it would be a case of horribly bad storytelling.
It would be like: I need to find information on something, so I go somewhere... When I arrived I found the thing I was looking information on right there on a silver platter.... What a coincidence...
What decent story works like that?
What are they going to do? Something like:
- Guess what, the moon was the real body of Emrakul from the start... Surprised? We didn't think about that until 1 year ago, but the Innistrad block was already made and so it will not make any sense whatsoever, but the moon is still Emrakul... Cool huh?
I really hope that we won't see ANY Eldrazi for at least 1 more year.
It's not coincidence. It's expected.
Sorin lured the Eldrazi titans to Zendikar. Zendikar got screwed over. Nahiri wants to give Sorin a taste of his own medicine.
Honestly, given how things played out, I'd have been surprised if Nahiri DIDN'T lure Emrakul to Innistrad.
Let's not forget that SoI was originally the third set in B4Z block, so they may not have had much of a choice but TO have Emmy be the Big Bad, and any encryption would have been done after the fact.
Exactly. If you're running a deck with bolts and goyfs, you're not running this card. And if you're running this card, you're not running bolts and goyfs.
After all the land-discard effects resolve, you can activate Spellskite to redirect the Storm to it, but if they have another land in hand, they can pitch it and re-redirect it back at you.
Im guessing nahiri is actually gonna be WRB. while not plausible i can see it happening similar to how kaalia wants revenge and all that
she doesn't need to be Mardu colors. She can be mono white and still be quite vengeful.
True, but the methods by which she seeks that revenge could put her into black and/or red.
If she is, indeed, luring Eldrazi to Innistrad for revenge on Sorin regardless of the collateral damage, that's totally a black act. If she's doing so without regard for herself or what comes next, that pushes it into red.
So a white-centered BRW Nahiri would totally fit this scenario.
I'm surprised that nobody is mentioning that removing Rule 4 makes Converge and Sunburst cards playable in Commander now without requiring a 5-color Commander
Today, a young man on acid learned that matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is just a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather...
Not to imply that you're on anything or anything, Hydro; just thought the quote was relevant.
I just thought "Blobbles" was a more accurate descriptor. ^^
Blossom + Bubbles = Blobbles.
Sorry. I don't make the rules.

Another interesting, useful, flavor-packed mechanic introduced at the start of a block completely gone by the end of it. (Hello, Converge)
I distinctly remember threatening to quit Magic if they pulled this garbage.
Seeeeeeeeriously considering it.
Could it be that WotC is actually taking this reprint business seriously for once?
I mean, I don't have a few hundred dollars lying around gathering dust, so I won't be drafting this, but well done, Wizards. At least on this one.
It's not coincidence. It's expected.
