So, if I have Platinum Angel on the field... And I'm destroyed...
???
You're destroyed so I don't think she protects you. This doesn't explicitly say you lose the game. You're sent to the graveyard as a state based action...
Right?
It's not a state based action. It happens immediately before priority is passed. Very important distinction to ponder while you sit in the graveyard.
Also, should we expect three legends per faction? 'Cause sheesh. I mean we already have three BR ones and one WU one.
Edit: MaRo has stated that this is not the case, the Dastardly League just happens to be lead by a Cabal so all their leaders get cards. Also there might be even more than the three we've seen.
Hold on... Since the article doesn't mention it... could you use Mary's activated ability to effectively steal an opponent's Mary O'Kill (assuming they don't have the mana up to activate it in response to flip it back to hand) or killbot, because it doesn't specify which side of the battlefield the target needs to be on?
Could you lose the game as a state based effect if one of your libraries ran out of cards?
The only way you lose as a state based effect from milling is if you draw from an empty library, and I'm gonna assume players will not usually choose to draw from empty libraries with this.
Wow, just wow.
I could honestly see 2nd or 3rd picking in draft a couple of these FOIL tokens.
Your store leaves the tokens in the pack?
I mean, the article states that the tokens will be one of the fifteen cards in the pack. (2 contraption, 1 land, 1 token, 11 unstable cards) So I imagine they're left in.
People are calling this a strictly worse rampant growth, but really in a constructed format it'd be almost strictly better. Theoretically you'd pick out your land art so most of each type you use (but not all) have trees. Then it's a rampant growth 99% of the time with an option to put the card in your hand if you like.
I imagine you can't bring a forest to hand though, which is unfortunate.
I feel like that replaces Barrage of Expendables in my cube, though admittedly I'm not totally sure it's even in the cube anymore. I should slot this in even if I don't. Artifact support and sacrifice support in red are things I badly want to cover better. I love cards that serve as an intersection of archetypes.
All have names that would imply being given the Dinosaur type. The only one I could see not getting it is Fungosaur, though since that one only has it in oracle they could just get rid of lizard... Pygmy Allosaurus suddenly doesn't have errata anymore.
But that's not at all what's going on.
Doesn't specify it has to be a number in the text box. So that should be legal.
It'd be awkward to use it with fetches.

Huh. I wonder how that slipped the net.

Oh right, I forget that that's actually a black bordered card. Yet another unset mechanic brought into the fold of black border magic.

The difference between 3 and 4 on a burn spell is massive.
