Magic: the Gathering: the Thread

I've said it before and I'll say it again: WotC seems to have forgotten how to create interesting cards, especially ones that are useful outside of fucking drafts and standard. This hyperfocusing on Standard and drafts and whatnot is really killing this game for me.

New Thalia seems like it will be used just about everywhere.

Looks like we got a little preview of a new mechanic.

[Pendulous]

Uh...what?

Oh, I get it, it's like Yu-gi-Oh. Except without Polymerization.

[Dontrike]

We got our spoilers for Eldritch Moon, starting today.

The first card is what the rat and human shown above turn into.







Gisela alone is good, although I do like Brisela and is fun in anything with white.

Why does a human soldier and a garrison fuse into an eldrazi ooze?

Well, you see, when a human soldier and a town love each other very much...

Wait, I got it. The surrogate was Ditto.

[Dontrike]

Interesting counter spell is interesting.

Pretty sure it is the entire population fusing into a mass of flesh with the town.

I am definitely liking this card. I love that there is some wizard class tribal for once since Lorwyn.

I like the ideas of Mob and Observer but they cost too much. I think smaller and cheaper would let them slot into things easier.

I like how some people are saying that Harmless Offering violates the Reserved List, only because they're wrong.

Why's that? What card is it supposed to be?

I love the new artifact creature. WEREWOLF POWER ARMOR. Because that's what Magic needed.

It is pretty close to Donate, which is why people have been throwing a huff about it.

I like the Mechawolf, it actually might see some play in Modern, and also because it is so absurd that it is great.

Wow...just wow ... :O

Considering the card that used to let you do that costs like ten mana, yeah.

[endersblade]

Wow...just wow ... :O

Marking it now, this card is going to be pricey. It's definitely going to see heavy play in EDH. Buy'em while they're cheap if you can.

[Dontrike]

This is going to be so useful for EDH.

[endersblade]

BAHAHAHAHA That is going to be sooooo ridiculous.

Got our first legendary spider and it's....a tad disappointing. Not sure why this is mythic when Hornet Queen was rare and was much stronger.
