I really think that the monks need attention, because if you've read the legend vignette of Jugan it shows how the monks fight really hard. Read Gnarled Mass' flavor text and it shows that the monks have been battling for 57 DAYS, almost close to two months of nonstop spirit-ass whuppin' while enduring the pain.
White: Clerics still, even if a few made it into Kamigawa.
Blue: BRING BACK MERFOLK!!! Oh, and probably Wizards and the like
Black: Assassins, Vampires
Red: GOBLINS (I love them!!!!),
Green: Spikes
All Colors: Mercenaries
Sorry, forgot: With what Flamebuster's getting at, I think he may be right :The third set usually contradicts what the Majority of cards in the first and second sets did.
The fact that you can refill it with coretapper, turn it indestructible with That Which Was Taken, and still have three great choices of abilities, plus it is in the Precon Rat's Nest? I originally wanted to buy Dark Devotion and Rat's Nest, bu instead I'll get two Rat's Nest instead (1 Jitte plus 1 Jitte= Maniacal Chaos)
Here's what I think:
White- Either Soldiers or Aven. Oh yes Clerics.
Blue- What else but Wizards? Oh, and maybe Merfolk since they look evolved humans that lived underwater for too long
Black- we may see Zombies , Assassins, and the like
Red- Dwarves. They look like human midgets.
Green- Elves will make a comeback. I'm feeling it. Dryads as well.
Oh yeah forgot one thing:
- I have a feeling that in the third book, Takeno's Spirit form will still be siding with Captain whatshisnameagain because of his strong ties. We might also see more Spirits siding with humans e.g. Tomoorow, Azami's Familiar. Also, about the flip cards, Champions had nobodies becoming great legends, betrayers had humans dying, so in Saviors? I personally think that we will have spirits that will mortalize themselves to become Non-Spirit creatures, and another card cycle (anything will work)
Well, I also agree with the Soratami Samurai coz if you read the prolouge of the 1st book, you'll know that after Lady Pearl-Ear went past the room with Nagao and his soldiers, she was then in a room wherein Takeno, Hisoka, and a Moonfolk where there. This took place in Eiganjo Castle. This might be a possible hint that there will be Samurai in Blue. Also, about the names of the sets: Champions was first because it showed people of great importance, like Konda and Hisoka, Betrayers because it showed Humans becoming Spirits, so what to expect in Saviors:
- Konda, will probably have a change of Heart.
- People who turned spirits may side with humans
- there will be a new mechanic.
- Konda may finally get back that stone thing.
- Legends that may become cards:
Lady Pearl-Ear, Blade-Tail, Snow-Fur, Hayato, Uramon, Ku-Ku, Oku-Doku, Hoto, Jiro
- Takeno and Kenzo may have another card, Takeno becoming a Spirit, and Kenzo might have a change of heart, after his path to death was blocked by Yomiji.
For those of you who don't know what Intruder Alarm is, here's a desc.:
Intruder Alarm 2U Enchantment
Creatures don't untap during their controller's untap steps. Whenever a creature comes into play, untap all creatures.
So it's like this:
Have Intruder Alarm, Kiki-Jiki and the Fanatic in play. Use Kiki-Jiki's Ability to produce a Fanatic, and the Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping Kiki-Jiki, which can allow you to get another token of any creature. An infinty creature combo.
For me creatures that will work well with this combo: Frostling Mogg Fanatic Phantom Warrior and any other creature with evasion. sac. for great abilities
Now I need a deck based on this, so any ideas, post.:)
I have an idea. It's called "learn what forum to post in before you post". This is not a discussion of Frostling, it's a discussion of Kiki-Jiki and Intruder Alarm. That means it belongs in the Type II forum.
Hey, now that we've seen Mirror Gallery, it is very possible to upgrade the spirit deck like this:
