I really like Kari Zev. More than the other legends, her expertise works really well with her, since she can crew a vehicle you gain control of.

[Prototype Viktor]

Did I go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the Urza block?

Can't be, the free mechanic's actually appearing outside of Blue.

Bring back Urza!

 

[Ozigizo]

Weird that green gets one with no evergreen. Like, at least be lazy and give it trample.

 

[Simply Sarah]

rrgh

this is torture

You're not getting an equipment-focused legend in a block without equipment

 

[Toxi]

Aetherborn lord is neat.

why are the red bue and black so much better than white and green?

 

[SigmasonicX]

It's flavorful how it gives aetherborn death triggers.

Also, forgot to mention, it's really interesting that to fully stop Kari Zev's damage, you need to block with three creatures.

Because green and white get everything else these days?

cause white an green can get bent sideways

we're talking about limited fodder here not constructed

 

[RuinerPrime]

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

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was exclusively looking a small sets. Seems like 6-10 is the average for most sets.

6 legends in KTK

RIP Ankle-Shanker

Dude is an individual character robbed of his limelight because it's hard to Strech a "Non Khan" legend to all 5 factions.

It's Ashodin. If wishes were fishes it would be raining Swords of Ice and Fire.

 

[Ashodin]

I don't need Swords of Ice and Fire. I already have one

 

[Santiako]

I'm hopping on a plane now, when I land full spoiler should be out. There better be some red cards with Revolt or I'll revolt.

 

[darkside31337]

Kari Zev is my favorite card in this set. Fantastic art, great design. Seems really good too.

 

[Giant Panda]

Aether chaser seems constructed playable to me, though I'm not sure there's a deck for it.

 

[Yeef]

From what we've seen so far, it looks like revolt is only in Abzan colors and improvise is only in Grixis colors. We likely won't see any blue or red revolt cards (or any green or white improvise cards).

No red revolt seems like a flavour fail.

That's only what's been shown so far, no?

EDIT: Okay, NOW it is fully up. It definitely wasn't complete a few minutes ago.

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

what a waste of great art

 

[Firemind]

Red is legit awful.

 

[Yeef]

Not sure how I feel about this one. I was already on the fence about the Fall of the hammer cards green has been getting since they feel too much like burn spells in limited. Now this one steps even further over the line.

[EDIT] Hey, look.

 

[El Topo]

Man, the red artifact removal sucks.

 

[Neoweee]

"Caught in the Brights" is a great design.

 

[Yeef]

No graveyard hate to speak of.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

"Caught in the Brights" is a great design.

I think it's a flavour fail since running lights imply a continuation of being crewed.

It's interesting that it checks the value on cast

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh my god

 

[Lucario]

sucks that it can't hit PWs, but still nice to have another flexible removal spell

V A L U E. Looking forward to 0-2 dropping at FNM with my Era of Innovation deck.

Was wondering if we'd get another energy payoff card for non-aggro strategies. That seems pretty damn pushed, even for a three energy cost.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

why couldn't this have been an instant?


nvm skipped the sacrifice

 

[Lucario]

all these aristocrats payoff cards with obnoxious restrictions

activate at sorcery speed only, 'nontoken'.... ugh.

 

[Neoweee]

why couldn't this have been an instant?

Because it is the common removal spell for limited, and can kill vehicles even when they are uncrewed unlike the overwhelming majority of the common removal in Kaladesh?

It's interesting that it checks the value on cast

It kind of has to due to the variable number of targets and having to decide the # of damage to get assigned to each.

 

[Lucario]

new templating that prevents getting blown out when you use a pseudo-fight effect

kind of neat

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I didn't expect an answer tbh. At instant it might have been constructed playable either sideboard or in limited numbers

 

[Ozigizo]

Green 2/3 for 1 if you fetch

 

[Yeef]

It's interesting that it checks the value on cast

It's a rules quirk. When distributing things (counters, damage) you have to choose targets and the split when casting.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Green 2/3 for 1 if you fetch

With bonus deathtouch.

 

[TheBlackMarvel]

Oh my god

This seems quite good.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

couldn't think of another artifact that activates infinitely by itself

 

[Simply Sarah]

Jeez, AER red really is just aggro or bust outside of Indomitable Creativity, isn't it?

 

[Supast4r]

No graveyard hate in this set or proper emrakul hate lmao. Anyhow what are you guys preordering?

This so much , nothing that overpowers Aetherworks marvel into Emrakul on turn 4. Congrats wizards on your shitty standard turnouts for another couple of months.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Unbelievably underwhelmed by AER. Shitty standard continues. *sigh*

Maybe emrakul will actually see a standard ban then.

Just realized that Locket of Myths is a Pokedex.

Biding my time until Amonkhet arrives. Chandra can die in a fire.
