love flipwalkers

#

they're such a fun design

||that sorin|| sounds like it's gonna be an accomplice to a lot of ruined evenings

Definitely want that GB one for Meren

#

It's nice to get obvious toys for a toolbox commander

proper onyx
#

Yay, creature Ral

old trench
#

Grist being referred to as "it" instead of "her" for the backside is really strange

inner canopy
#

oh you mean the transform ability on the front side

old trench
#

Ah, yeah I meant the ability on the front side which refers to her backside

craggy seal
#

I wanna say it was a spacing thing but that seems really weird since Grist isn’t a long name and the others do refer to their pronouns

barren escarp
#

I was wondering if there will be double faced cards beyond the leaked cards and wondered if we'd get any others reprinted, only to then realise that all Double faced cards printed are already modern legal

prime mountain
#

not all, but all that matter

#

there's a couple from LCC, and all the BOT cards

barren escarp
#

I do constantly forget about the existence of the Transformers cards despite owning several of them

(Not sure how to spoil the preview but it doesn’t really matter since most of this is unreadable).

Add < and > to the ends of the link to suppress the preview

I know you can do that but not sure how to have it gain the spoiler box…unless

Yep that works too

Huh, I swear it didn’t used to do that but neat change

||Is there stuff in the rules that allows for tokens like that yet?||

native siren

#

ah true

#

i can't make out the jund one

#

gonna try and guess

#

||Cor___ the Undertaker 1BRG||
||Legendary Creature - Human Warrior||
||~ has +X/+0, where X is the greatest power among creature cards in all graveyards.||
||Whenever ~ attacks, each player mills a card.||
||During each of your turns, you may play a card or cast a spell from among cards in graveyards that were put there from libraries this turn.||
||0/5||

#

seems neat

#

also someone on the reddit points out

#

that might be ||White/Colorless Elemental Blast|| on the first page

#

And it seems to ||hate on multicolored||?

#

also these all appear to be commander cards

Oh right, they're giving me the coloured Eldrazi deck I've always wanted this sey

#

I forgot about that, that's fun

||omo, queen of vesuva 2 U/G
Legendary shapeshifter

when ~ etbs or attacks, put an everything counter on up to one target land and up to one target creature.
each land with an everything counter on it is every land type in addition to its other types.
each nonland creature with an everything counter on it is every creature type in addition to its other creature types. 1/5||

||I think omu says "nonland creature", though unsure exactly why||

coarse hearth
#

|| [not sure about name, top nonlegendary eldrazi] 7

whenever you attack, choose odd or even. creatures with the chosen mana value can’t block this turn

each other colorless creature you control has bloodthirst 2 8/6||

At the beginning of combat on your turn, switch the power and toughness of each of any number of target creatures until end of turn. 1/?||

Menace, haste
Whenever ~ attacks, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of up to one other target nontoken creature you control. You get E_ E_. At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice that token unless you pay an amount of E_ equal to its mana value.

#

Points in favor, though: ||1. folks can't seem to find the art on any of the artist's pages or via Google image search, and 2. the collector number lines up with where we'd expect, even when we're expecting a colorless portion at the front||

inner canopy

#

that does seem like it would go well with ||Shawinigan Handshake||

#

That and Boil are the two cards that make me think it's not real. Maro has said they don't want to make versions of Urborg for WUR because of those kinds of effects.

Totally reasonable magic card that is in no way a problem

proper onyx

#

I made a joke about ||choke|| for one of the cards leaked yesterday, but now realise much greater potential with ||Carpet of Flowers||. The full range of fun tricks are probably quite diverse and will require looking into every old card that cares about those kinds of things

bleak delta
tired plaza
#

If that's real, that's rad

#

Also would be happy they chose Kindred officially

barren escarp
#

I remember that would be the new term for the mechanic/card type but use the more clunky term they tried for the creature type matters meaning for deck building purposes

#

it just took until now to reprint or make any new cards with the type

old trench
#

Watch as they still don't update gatherer with it

even WOTC staff don't use Gatherer anymore. They're all pretty open that they use Scryfall

I wonder if Necrodominance is a cycle :V

What would be the rest of the cycle?

#

What's a famously busted enchantment that'd probably be fine if put into Modern with a little fix?

inner canopy
#

[[Mystic Remora]]?

fast geyserBOT

#

I could maybe see it. Land Tax for Plains is something else I could see

inner canopy
#

what would Red have?

#

Aggravated Assault?

that just leaves Green

bleak delta
#

Mix in a once per turn restriction and it’s maybe not broken

remote ledge
patent tartan
#

This new Necro is better than the old one, so the new enchantments have to be better than the old ones. Sylvan Library is Too Good already.

remote ledge
#

it could be similar but different enough to not be too good

barren escarp
#

there's a lot of old weird enchantments in green that don't really make too much sense in the modern colour pie, so there's a few I can imagine they change to keep the spirit of the older cards but with a modern sensability

remote ledge
#

wait, whats the green one that you sac a creature to draw cards equal to power?

inner canopy
#

Food Chain?

patent tartan
#

Greater Good

remote ledge
#

I think both do that but I was thinking of GG cuz of the cheeta art

patent tartan
#

Food Chain is mana. I could see that.

barren escarp

bleak delta
#

Sorta yeah but MH3 is unstuck in time (like how we have flipwalkers).

proper onyx
#

Mirrodin mostly doesn't exist, yes

bleak delta
#

We have Zhalfir in the space that was new phyrexia that was mirrodin

inner canopy
#

#

Looks like it's hiding a water mark?

I think it may be hiding a call to bring back Terese Nielsen

#

old trench
#

||the fact the prefix got cut off in both instances is so funny I wanna think it's intentional||

inner canopy
#

oh its very much intentional

#

just like the reprints where literally all that we see is the name

patent tartan
#

There was another leak like the Kappa Cannoneer one that makes me think that this entire thing is a load of bull

inner canopy
#

its possible that one's in the Jeskai commander deck

#

Brainstorm was another "top centimeter of the card" leak as well

#

but until then i'll put on my skepticles

old trench
#

I could maybe see it being in a precon, but it feels like a bit of a trap to include if the deck isn't built to shuffle/mill the top cards

patent tartan
#

Yeah, it was Brainstorm. There's almost no chance that's getting put into Modern

barren escarp
#

It did seem like a lot of these leaks were from commander decks rather than the main set

prime mountain
#

It's either putting commander cards behind main set cards to drive hype, or it's grabbing random ass cards from existing sets to pretend they're in MH3

inner canopy
#

maybe it is legit but i have no reason to expect it is

old trench
#

Which they did explicitly do with cannoneer, lol

barren escarp
#

It also raises questions as why a set made specifically for one format, would then have an extra product full of stuff not playable in that format the main set is named after

inner canopy
#

i've seen that argument elsewhere

patent tartan
#

Thing is, I could believe some of the reprints. Like Sylvan Safekeeper and Kappa both seem like they'd be fine for Modern.

barren escarp
#

Kappa is still a pretty big deal in legacy, but with Seat of the Synod and Mox Opal banned and Ancient Tomb not being in the format then the Blue Artifact deck can't be replicated exactly. Basically every other card beyond those and Kappa are currently modern legal though

#

no wait, forgot Lotus Petal. They probably don't want to make that modern legal anytime soon either. Give Modern all the big powerful stuff, just don't give it any of the fast mana

I like how it gives +2/+2 to the tokens in the grave itself

inner canopy
#

i wonder if all 7 jund goyfs will be reprinted in that deck

#

probably not [[Detritivore]]

fast geyserBOT
#

Creature — Lhurgoyf
Detritivore's power and toughness are each equal to the number of nonbasic land cards in your opponents' graveyards.
Suspend X—manaxmana3manar. X can't be 0. (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay manaxmana3manar and exile it with X time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)
Whenever a time counter is removed from Detritivore while it's exiled, destroy target nonbasic land.

inner canopy
#

wait no the other one

#

[[Magnivore]]

fast geyserBOT
patent tartan
#

No, they should put Detrivore in the deck

old trench
#

I could see [[necrogoyf]]

fast geyserBOT
inner canopy
#

yeah the green and black ones are probably safe

old trench
#

The rest I feel like are just too weak? But idk, we did also get [[exalted angel]] in the disguise precon

fast geyserBOT
inner canopy
#

also its should be noted we have a token with a mana cost now

#

i know its technically not the first but its not a copy

patent tartan
#

Huh. Not even the cards that make Llanowar Elves tokens or similar do that, do they?

prime mountain
#

nope

inner canopy
#

Garth One-Eye comes dangerously close

#

you are casting a copy of one of the cards, and copies of permanent spells become tokens

prime mountain
#

Best I could offer you before now was that Kobolds of Kher Keep tokens had the same mana value as their original card

#

but no mana cost

inner canopy
#

well that's just a coincidence

prime mountain
#

Good point on Garth, I always forget Garth

#

the Shivan Dragon and Black Lotus copies definitely have the costs

inner canopy
#

Garth strictly is not "creating" the token they just resolve as tokens

native siren
#

copies of creature spells become tokens too that inherit all of their details

old trench
#

Finally, a part of this that walker tokens didn't get to first

inner canopy
#

i'm pretty sure renamed tokens existed before the walkers

old trench
#

Not predefined named tokens

#

All the other predefined tokens refer to creating them by the subtypes (Which is how academy manufactor "works")

#

Getting deja vu to a different set of leaks, Osgood is the only printed token with a mana cost so far

#

(we did get some printed squad tokens in the 40k decks, which should have costs, but none of them were printed with one)

#

I'm curious if they'll use the same tech as her, or if they'll just straight up give us something that looks like a tarmogoyf if you don't check the typeline

inner canopy
#

you know what's funny

#

oh wait nm

#

the myriad lhurgoyf has trample so my joke doesn't work

old trench
#

Oh yeah there's also a leaked token from bloomburrow that uses the osgood tech

remote ledge
#

ah yeah, that tokens is what made me put "Squad variant" in my bingo sheet for Bloomburrow

inner canopy
remote ledge
#

oh wow, thats pretty nasty

stuck rivet
#

it's only your GY so it'll be smaller than tarmo

inner canopy
#

well yeah its 1 mana

#

Oh good, black doesn't have enough overpowered 1 mana creatures that can come back from the graveyard

#

#

Gods I hate Pest Control

remote ledge
#

I unrionically love it, but I had my face beaten in by a lot of convoke decks so I might be biased

#

plus it could be worse, it could exile

patent tartan
#

Whereas I love Convoke

remote ledge
#

that would explain ti :V

#

time to play more heroic intervention effects

bleak delta
#

I love this land

#

Also ||spawn gang commander reminds me of seige gang||

#

Flinging Eldrazi sounds fun

#

Comments say the crop rotation has a DMR code so it’s another fake amongst the real cards

barren escarp
#

that land seems fun though I do start to worry by what point my artifact decks will be mostly utility lands

#

I'm trying to think what the most expensive thing in the deck is which doesn't already have it's own cost reduction built in, which is probably Chaos Defiler, but even getting that down to 2 mana with a load of tokens and baubles seems good

bleak delta
#

New art and better visual of the mana cost

bleak delta
tired plaza
#

If that's real, that's disgusting

#

I need to buy this deck

patent tartan
#

That would be a main set card, not a deck card

inner canopy
#

this looks fake as hell

#

what does "concept Eldrazi" even mean

old trench
#

Usually exiling cards from your library specifies that you exile that many cards from the top, too.

bleak delta
#

Much like the praetor got

This leaker is being swallowed by the eldrazi as we speak

(referring to the weird image fuckery on those first four)

#

NO! NO! FUCK! NO!

#

THE LESSON WASNT TO PRINT MORE FAREWELL-LIKES!!

bleak delta
#

At least it’s destroy not exile

coarse hearth
#

its still functionally exile!

bleak delta
#

You get the death triggers

coarse hearth
#

that. fully does not matter in my head

#

thats not the reason i hate farewell

patent tartan
#

Yeah, I think because Modal spells resolve in order, this is functionally Exile Everything like Farewell. Not getting Death Triggers wasn't the problem with Farewell. It's the cost and fexibility and freedom that are the problems with it, and this spell mimics that

coarse hearth
#

at least its in black where youd rather run damnation or deluge for cheaper cost and its not nearly as flexible and widespread as farewell

#

but still. awful.

#

stop making em pls

old trench
#

Not getting around indestructible & not hitting more relevant permanent types is the more relevant part

bleak delta
#

Huh, when I hear people talk about disliking farewell I usually hear the problem being that it’s so broad with little cost to getting rid of everything because you can’t get value from the death triggers and there not protection from it.

coarse hearth
#

no i despise the damn thing because it removes everything permanently with no chance of recovery

#

it removes a resource on top of whats on board for no cost

patent tartan
#

Death Triggers don't come up often enough for them to matter.

#

Farewell is just too good at being a catch all answer to anything while still potentially keeping you ahead for a cost that is absolutely not high enough

coarse hearth
#

i care about them in just the one deck of mine (aristocrats)

bleak delta
#

Love this art

inner canopy
#

so is every Goyf just Tarmogoyf now?

patent tartan
#

Seems like it. So the Jund deck is Goyfs and not Lands?

inner canopy
#

Its a selfmill deck

patent tartan
#

Huh. Totally thought it was a Lands deck

#

So it's Eldrazi, Self-Mill, Energy and Clones?

inner canopy
#

but yeah, looks like the lead commander is the Goyf commander

patent tartan
#

That's kinda neat

old trench
#

Which I guess puts a potential damper on them reprinting [[necrogoyf]] in the commander decks, since that tracks something else unique

fast geyserBOT

#

Wight of the Reliquary is one I hadn't seen but want to play for at least Meren

bleak delta
# proper onyx I think it got taken down for technical issues

If my technical knowledge is to be trusted (don’t), the way card images are done now is with multiple requests to their server rather than being baked into the article itself and if an article contains a dozen or more images and a thousand more people open it in a show amount of time then that’s a lot of system requests (maybe enough to break something).

#

Even first look articles up to this point haven’t had so many card images.

Why does Urza have a cave? It’s a good cave, I’ll give him that, it just doesn’t really feel like his style

coarse hearth
#

i dont know whether i want to buy the eldrazi precon and dismantle it or buy the just parts

#

depends on cost ig

#

i think they were cringe for making the eldrazi lean 5c in this set and giving the main set ones colored costs in the textbox but. thats fine ig

remote ledge
#

isin't...isin't that the point of Devoid?

coarse hearth
#

yeah. not super a fan i think they should have kept them colorless mostly

#

i understand why they didnt but it irks me

bleak delta
#

Just wanted to say that it’s safe to assume this leak is fake considering it’s using the same art of a Planechase plane

#

Pretty sure the set symbol is wrong too but it’s really hard to see

#

(Other leaks in this style have been real though so I thought it worth bringing up)

I’ve never seen that said for this cycle just the urborg lands. I don’t imagine it would though since the space isn’t exactly healthy or robust.

It looks like Magic art, just not art that'd be on an artifact.

This one somewhat worries me. there is enough good energy generation(especially with that new ||soul sister||) that this does the same as ||alluren|| and kills the turn it comes into play

It would certainly have more pieces needed to combo and one of the key pieces from old combos isn’t modern legal (yet).

Not sure if there’s a substitute and if there was it would probably be worse

Oh gods

quick hamlet
#

Why do they still try with pitch cards

bleak delta
#

It’s (some of) the player base’s guilty pleasure

celest pier
#

Because they're good for high power formats by giving interaction when otherwise not possible

They did a bad job with Grief and Fury specifically being too good, but every other MH pitch card has either been good but fair to outright awful (force of rage I'm looking at you)

bleak delta
#

There’s something to be said for reactive pitch spells (the old argument that force of will makes formats fairer - please don’t ping me to argue, I’m not interested in doing that again).

quick hamlet
#

to be fair i definitely take the cynical communist pov and see all the mh pitch cards as just staple money bags

barren escarp
#

Yeah, even the worst of the MH2 elemental incarnations is still a very good card

These pitch cards all seem really bad tbh (for competitive formats anyways)

I don't think they should be underestimated at all. If anything, I feel like Flare of Denial is the final nail in the coffin for Twin ever getting unbanned.

quiet burrow
#

Death, taxes, and twin being banned

prime mountain
#

this new cycle do have real costs, you have to trade a full card for the price, and it's a card you've spent resource on already since it's on the field

#

but also free spells basically always good

celest pier
#

Flare of Denial has very specific decks it benefits

Flare of Cultivation is a Nic Fit care in legacy, will likely see no play outside of commander otherwise

The white one is a commander card purely, had it included "can't lose the game this turn" it's a potent anti-combo card but eh

Malice might be okay in a Gravecrawler deck

Flare of Duplication? Idk I can see it being fine in specific circumstances

prime mountain
#

I am deffo excited to see if Cultivation makes Nic Fit reliable neough

Denial in Merfolk will be interesting to see

Hate the deck with every fiber of my being, but modern desperately needs at least one Vial deck that's good

I'm pretty down on those cards in general, but that cycle specifically has always just been so, so bad.There's 1 that I would even remotely consider playing, and that's in Commander. They're all just the worst versions of already existing cards that have a lot of redundancy. The flexibility with them just isn't worth it

celest pier
#

||they basically only existed to give lands to oops all spells||

supple peak
#

Basically my opinion these days is that EDH players had better start playing more basics or I’m going to Blood Moon them for their life’s savings and they’re gonna deserve it

#

Punisher cards are good, actually

patent tartan
#

I agree. But I've also always been pretty high on playing a lot of basics. I put Field of the Dead in every list I brew, and I still play 20ish basics in everything below 4 colours. My 5 colour deck still plays 10 of them

I was specifically talking about the Mythics there, but frankly even the non-mthics are a waste of paper IMO. They're all just deeply mediocre.

proper onyx
#

Well, going to have to disagree there

patent tartan
#

I honestly look forward to the day I don't have to play Pathways in Pioneer

proper onyx
#

(I'm also talking from an edh perspective)

patent tartan
#

In Commander there's exactly 1 even remotely playable Zendikar MDFC: Agadeem Awakening. I wouldn't waste a card slot in my decks for any of the others.

remote ledge
#

not even the X damage one?

#

its kinda like removal

patent tartan
#

The red one is the one I hate most. I play a lot of red. It's been in lists I've played. It's done nothing but lose me games

crimson lagoon
#

I enjoy them with future sight effects and Bolas Citadel density

#

Oh and Tangled Florahedron is underrated. I love it for hitting 4 drops on T3. Its either a land or your T2 accelerator

#

Most of the white mdfc lands are mediocre

patent tartan
#

Tangled Florahedron is either a bad tap land, or an overcosted mana dork. And given that I cannot remember the last time I sleeved up a mana dork in Commander, it's safe to say I have no interest in play bad ones. Commander as a format has access to the very best of these effects. I'm not going to waste a spell slot in my deck on cards that are worse just because they have rarely useful flexibility. And wasting my land slots of these is an even worse idea.

crimson lagoon
#

Cards that serve multiple roles are good.
My Ingasika and Yasharn decks both want to hit a 4 drop on 3 and it helps deliver both.

Its not good in every deck. Im okay with that. I think its really reductive to say that only 1 mdfc land is playable.

Other folks clearly value the utility more than you do, that doesn't make them bad.

supple peak
#

I think 9 times out of 10 an untapped land or a decently costed spell is better than a single card that can do both but is immeasurably worse

#

Also I am of the opinion that MDFCs are coward cards. Commit to your picks.

supple peak
remote ledge
#

bugsbunny.gif No

supple peak
#

Also. The more that lands get better the less bad I feel about Armageddon as a card

#

Yes, I have destroyed your hundred dollar land base you ramped into on turn 4.

Cry about it?

#

People who get greedy deserve to be punished. I’m the greediest Magic player alive and even I know that.

proper onyx
#

That's a bad reason to play armogeddon

#

Just ruination

patent tartan
#

Armageddon doesn't punish greedy players IMO. It punishes green decks doing what they do best, but that's not really punishing greedy players.

supple peak
#

I would partially agree

#

But with how pushed green has been it ends up basically being the same thing

patent tartan
#

Greed is not playing a single basic in your deck because you want to get full value out of Hermit Druid.

supple peak
#

Armageddon was just me using the archetypal example, to be clear. Ruination is the actual pick

#

And I have started playing it in more decks specifically to dumpster 4 and 5 color players

remote ledge
#

problem is, if somebody lays down a bunch of rocks or treasure, your armageddon suddenly becomes your losing condition

supple peak
#

And I’m willing to take that loss

#

Because they didn’t need to be taught the lesson

patent tartan
#

The lesson of what? Wanting to be able to cast your spells in a 5 colour deck?

supple peak
#

In the case of most 5 color decks I’ve sat down across from, legitimately yes

#

Jodah the Unifier gets no rights

#

The lesson is that sometimes when you get greedy you get punished. And that that is a fair thing to do

patent tartan
#

That's a problem with Jodah being a busted, miserable card, not 5 colour decks in general. If a 5c deck chooses not to play any basics at all, then that could be considered greedy, especially given how good at fixing Rampant Growth et al are, but it's not greedy to want to be able to cast your spells.

crimson lagoon
supple peak
#

Then your playgroup didn’t need the lesson

crimson lagoon
supple peak
#

I think it’s very different. I think manipulation of land and spell ratios is the hallmark of good deck building and that trivialising that by making some cards both unconditionally is a cop-out

#

People should have to commit

crimson lagoon
#

Disliking that it provides utility is different from the cards being bad.

#

I think 3 life is a low cost for edh.

But the etb tapped, and +1 manacost on spellside is a pretty meaningful cost.

Like I think they made some of them just good enough to be a tricky decision of if they're worth running.

Wheels are too easy to break the symmetry.

Also it says "may" because you can pay 0 energy

old trench

Yes

#

And what would happen if you paid 0 energy, and it wasn't a "may" to exile

if it wasn't a may then they would have formatted it to be "you may pay one or more {E}"

They would have balanced it
