Her own token!

It wears goggles! I will never give up the Equipment fight! NEVERRRRRRRR

Zev's Expertise can cause blowouts. Steal a vehicle, Incendiary Flow their other blocker, crew up their vehicle, swing in and tap everything down. Seems good af.

 

[Wulfric]

Yay monkeys! Legendary tokens are the best.

Does anyone else find this set kinda strange? There's a lot more token generation and searching going on than a small set usually does. AER-AER-KLD is going to be interesting to say the least. Maybe it'll make more sense when the last 80 cards are spoiled, but right now I don't know what this set is going to do for standard constructed.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Legendary Monkey tokens, wew lads. My body is ready, time to Red.

 

[El Topo]

That monkey token might be the best thing ever.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Amazing. More pirates! I love the token, but I admit I wish it wasn't legendary so that you could create multiples...

EDIT: Oh, token exiles itself. Obvs. And yeah, should be Monkey Pirate creature type

 

[Ashodin]

Worth noting Kari Zev triggers revolt all on her own.

 

[jph139]

A pirate that spawns her own little monkey... not sure what I expected for the Red legendary but it damn sure wasn't that.

Very cute design though. I like it a lot.

 

[Angry Grimace]

The monkey not also being a pirate is a huge fail.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Ah, I missed that "end of combat" trigger, I skimmed over it and assumed end of turn.

 

[Ashodin]

This also means Advika Taar is multicolored.

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

I agree it's a bullshit lifelinking vehicle, I laughed lol

rofl

I love her art but the card seems underwhelming.

 

[Toxi]

This is why we need errata.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Much like the God artifacts not being equipment, you can't fit the text on the card.

I also second RW equipment/Allies. It is faster than vehicles but can have really bad draws as well.

 

[traveler]

There's a number of personalities with art in the art book. Wasn't sure if they were going to be cards or just concept work for characters. The pirate is one of them.

Edit: Black mythic is easily my fav mythic.

 

[cuc]

The universal solvent, one of the holy grails of alchemy, simply exists in Kaladesh.

 

[Ashodin]

I will bet $100 Advika Taar is WR

She runs a fight club. She augments herself with Equipment (hee hee).

I'm going with UR....cuz I'm desperate for a UR commander.

Maro confirmed months ago that there is no UR commander in Kaladesh block.

[Ozigizo]

Where's that person who was on the Aether Revolt inserts in Kaladesh? 🤔

Advika Taar, she either doesn't have a card or it hasn't been revealed yet.

 

[Ozigizo]

Advika Taar, she either doesn't have a card or it hasn't been revealed yet.

Ah. She'll get spoiled tonight or tomorrow probably.

 

[Santiako]

Ah. She'll get spoiled tonight or tomorrow probably.

Tomorrow we'll have the full spoiler, so if she has a card we'll know it

My favorite creature of the set. Love the design

 

[Angry Grimace]

Would be weird to have 2 WR legends in the block

 

[Hero]

That red legend is insane for Cube. Get in my life!

 

[Ashodin]

Would be weird to have 2 WR legends in the block

COUNT. ON. IT.

Spoiler

wake me up inside can't wake up. I can't wake up, save me!

 

[Angry Grimace]

For some random reason everyone on MTGS is convinced that demon sucks...because discard helps your opponent. The fact it costs 7 without building your deck around it apparently isn't the problem.

lolmtgs

 

[Wulfric]

So a 1WR Stoneforge Mystic? Gotcha.

*please be a real card*

The mythics look like limited bombs, but that's about it. There's nothing in there for modern... bleh.

Maybe I can convince them to give me some of their terrible Liliana of the Veils.

 

[Wulfric]

I... What?

Well, there's the whole delirium thing going on in standard right now. The demon is still a 5BB junk rare though.

Maybe I can convince them to give me some of their terrible Liliana of the Veils.

Don't tell anyone this, but Liliana Vess is going spike any minute now. Get the Terese Nielsen foil before it's too late!

 

[RuinerPrime]

Spoiler

wake me up inside can't wake up. I can't wake up, save me!

well, we can at least agree she's part red

RW - Possible, but Depala is also in the same block
RU - I would say highly possible, but Maro shut me down
RB - I'm gonna go with this as my prediction. I have nothing to back this up.
RG - highly doubt it

 

[red13th]

OMG that Pirate that's HUGE value for a red 2 drop (a super shitty slot). Welp. Most important card in the set for cube for sure. Plus a LEGENDARY PIRATE MONKEY. How cool is that.

 

[ultron87]

I appreciate that it's the same monkey even if it dies in combat.

 

[Transhuman]

I want to save the monkey with Timestop

 

[cooltrainer]

The universal solvent, one of the holy grails of alchemy, simply exists in Kaladesh.

And it somehow is being held in a little bottle too. To unbelievable for me, Wizards.

 

[Yeef]

 

[Santiako]

That means no Advika Taar in the set, as this is the last rare.

RIP Ashodin

 

[Ashodin]

fuck! Well I have ONE hope left

ONE

Some sort of awesome equipment with Advika Taar's art on it

or a card that goes and gets equipment or SOMETHING

 

[Yeef]

Looking at the image names on the Aether Revolt page with all the different characters, they're all have the character name in the file name, except Advikar Taar, which is called "Scrapper Champion."

They might use the art for an uncommon then.

 

[RuinerPrime]

So only 6 legends in this. Its the lowest legend count since Journey into nyx.

Edit: I meant Legendary creatures

That's stupid! She is literally the embodiment of a card that I'd use on LEGENDRULE. Wtf WotC?

 

[Santiako]

So only 6 legends in this. Its the lowest legend count since Journey into nyx.

But they're all super low CMC, so it's cool. There is also one legendary enchantment and 4 legendary artifacts.

 

[Yeef]

Apparently, either Surash or Advikar (but not both) fit the number crunch. I guess we'll find out for certain in 12 hours or so.

is it possible estimated rare numbers are wrong?

rrgh

this is torture

 

[Yeef]

It's possible, I suppose. People are just using the rarity numbers from OGW.

There's only 5 in Khans, and BFZ and SOI are tied at 6.
