I think it's going to be a fun card to play casually in a mono-blue deck. With blink effects? Yes. I like the prospect of Deadeye Navigator + Scourge of Fleets.
Squelching Leeches isn't plural. It is a reference to a singular card. It would be my assumption that Squelching Leeches would be treated like a singular proper noun. It doesn't roll off the tongue...err, pen, but it is what it is. Writing out the original post, I wrote it as Squelching Leeches'.
I am quite sure that the Falkenrath Marauders have 2 keywords, the spacing in that line of text is too spaced to be either first or double strike it looks like flying, haste to me because i think that last letter in the first ability is a g but the flying doesnt make a whole lot of sense. Also it is whenever he deals combat damage to a (creature/player) do something. That is just my 2 cents.
And it wouldn't be a new keyword, otherwise it'd need the reminder text. Hopefully nothing lame like banding. If it had flying, the artwork would support the ability (I would think), but they're just standing there. It's something and Haste, what red keywords that won't require reminder text could go there? It appears, at least to me, to be a one word keyword also.
Anyone have any ideas of what Creepy Doll will be like? In all likelihood, at least an artifact. I'm thinking something along the lines of Stuffy Doll but with a graveyard-based twist to it.
Just seems like it's CMC is too high for it to really be worthy. Casually - it looks promising. I don't play EDH so I really don't have an opinion on that aspect.
Immersturm is a place on a plane called Valla, as shown on the card. I think they were more going for the reference that it is one-sided Immersturm effect on a enchantment.
Yeah, I know that if the first set contains a proper name, then it's the plane's name (at least thus far, ie Ravnica, Zendikar, Shards of ALARA, etc), but then again, Wizards has many times in the past pulled one on us. For all we know Innistrad and Immersturm are on Valla.
That said, didn't anyone read the flavor text? In mentions Innmersturm, which means that Core Sets now our rooted on new planes?
Yeah, I noticed that too. I wonder what the significance of that is. You think Innistrad has some sort of correlation to Immersturm? The names seem sort of similar.
Squelching Leeches 2BB
Creature - Leech (U)
Squelching Leeches' power and toughness are each equal to the number of swamps you control.
Leeches are sacred to followers of Pharika for drawing poison from a wound, but feared by everyone else for drawing blood from the flesh.

HA! My first thoughts, exactly!
It's been established numerous times (just within this thread) that it's the new Day/Night mechanic.

It is a 0/0
