Who's on the world championship roster?

RIP Goblins

Jimmy is so much better at making this seem like a professional presentation than Wil was.

 

[Firemind]

White gets dwarves
Red gets gremlins

FUCKING LMAO

Yeah this was put together by people who have, like, actually watched a video before.

White gets dwarves
Red gets gremlins

FUCKING LMAO

This is actually good tho. White needs a non-human race they can do all the time and red is all set with goblins so it's okay to mix it up.

I was just about to say how glad I was Wil wasn't hosting this.

 

[Santiako]

Saheeli seems pushed as fuck for 3 mana.

edit: maybe not, but she feels really good.

 

[charlequin]

 

[bigkrev]

That ultimate: find Sol Ring, Time Vault and Key

Also, she doesn't protect herself AT ALL

 

[The Technomancer]

Oooh 3 mana

I like that

 

[Firemind]

Hello worse Dack Fayden

 

[red13th]

omg SAHEEEEEEELI

love that art too! Murai is the best

 

[Angry Grimace]

Seems....okay.

 

[Ashodin]

Duuuuude

 

[A Serious Man]

Can't protect herself at all but could be pretty nuts if you build around her.

What about the lizard people: Viashino?

Gremlins look freaking dumb.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Dack didn't either, but Dack's +1 is actually pretty busted, whereas Saheeli's +1 is pretty bad.

But I'm guessing a Saheeli deck is less trying to plus and more trying to play a 3 mana clone.

 

[kirblar]

lol @ the +1

They're running out of interesting space.

 

[Hero]

Seems kind of pushed? Not sure. I like her other abilities though.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Hmm, did they accidentally post the Inventors' Fair early?

 

[Santiako]

They are selling Gremlin "Gamer Pouches" at PAX.

 

[Ashodin]

That finger pinch

 

[El Topo]

Unfortunate +1 ability on Saheeli.

 

[charlequin]

What about the lizard people: Viashino?

And those fit with an artifact-y world how? Literally the whole thing about gremlins is that they poke around with machines.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Chandra is the true villain of Kaladesh, confirmed.

 

[Angry Grimace]

lol @ the +1

They're running out of interesting space.

I think its one of the worst +1's in a long time. Scry 1 + ping is worth like half a card or so, I think and she has no way to protect herself at all in any way.

It's in a weird color combo, too, but we haven't seen much of the set. I think whether its good is whether the minus is worth anything.

 

[ultron87]

-2 only being stuff you control is kind of eh.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Actually a bit disappointed that gremlins are red, since when I heard they were in the set, my thought was, "Oh neat, they found a way for black to interact with artifacts." (The few gremlins printed have been black)

As for dwarves, I imagine there will still be some red ones.

Her +1 is way worse then Dack's, but her -2 is way better isn't it?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

The art is simply gorgeous but she seems the most Mehmet for a 3cmc walker yet. She doesn't draw she filters badly and she doesn't protect herself. She doesn't generate card advantage quickly either.

 

[A Serious Man]

Cue ominous music.

 

[Crocodile]

• I'm not sure how I feel about Saheeli's card yet but I'm super feeling her character/design <3
  
• It's a shame they couldn't figure out how to do Contraptions in time for this set. Seems it would have been perfect.
  
• LOL @ "did you check out our LN chapter we posted online"
  
• Also, did the music get all "evil" like when the Vedalken PW just showed up on screen? Subtle much?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Liliana as a gadfly is the best.

 

[bigkrev]

Her +1 is way worse then Dack's, but her -2 is way better isn't it?

Seems way worse? Dacks changes the board state significantly

 

[charlequin]

ahaha liliana whispering in chandra's ear is amazing

 

[Crocodile]

Liliana sounds like Chandra's enabler.....

Spoiler

YURI fanfic is a GO

Her +1 is way worse then Dack's, but her -2 is way better isn't it?

LMAO have you ever played Cube?

 

[Joe Molotov]

oh my

 

[Ashodin]

Chandra the villain

Also fuck that art for huge boobs, she looks like she's wearing body paint

 

[bigkrev]

NO
THEY DIDNT JUST SHOW THAT ART
THIS IS LITTERAL LN GARBAGE

 

[Angry Grimace]

Her +1 is way worse then Dack's, but her -2 is way better isn't it?

It's way worse in the format Dack is designed for.

If Dack was in standard it would be format warping because his plus is ridiculous.

 

[El Topo]

You're gonna get Liliana x Chandra fan art (and fan fic) for years to come. Jeez.

 

[Firemind]

Isn't that a retcon of Chandra's spark origin?

 

[A Serious Man]

I feel blessed to not know what LN stands for.

 

[Ashodin]

Light novel

Basically anime words

 

[The Technomancer]

I guess I view Dack's as being so matchup dependent, and he makes more sense in eternal formats. In an imaginary format where I have some R/U shell with both Dac and Saheeli are legal and I'm facing down Bant Company, Dack's -2 is dead and he protects himself even less

 

[SigmasonicX]

Isn't that a retcon of Chandra's spark origin?

As far as I can tell, it matches up to what we got in her Magic Origins story.

 

[Santiako]

These puns...
