well it hasn't already

pia's revolution is gonna be stupid in EDH.

lol guys, I know Voidslime is a thing. UG in Modern, however, is not, while UX of almost every other type (UR, UW, UWR, URB and sometimes the rare UB) is. This card could see play.

Damnit did anyone save the images? I didn't see them

 

[Angry Grimace]

Using it with Geist to stifle the Angel so it stays. That's what I'm doing with it.

I mean the angel isn't all that good.

In Standard sure, but countering an activated/triggered ability isn't all that good in and of itself and it's still 3 mana.

 

[FreedomFrisbee]

I'm guessing that dark intimation is bolas destroying the portal while nobody is looking. Which would be dark, as it implies bolas wants the phyrexians right where they are? And also perhaps that the jacetice league failed to really stop tez?

It looks to me like they're still up, but imgur if you can't see the direct links: http://imgur.com/a/0RshZ

Reminder text shouldn't be on Rare cards

It is, though, all the time. Even the mythics with new keywords in KLD have it.

 

[OnPoint]

I appreciate the really subtile hiding of the Bolas symbol in Dark Intimations.

 

[Firemind]

Bolas better be good.

 

[Santiako]

I find hilarious that they rescheduled all the magic stories and previews around not spoiling the story and all the story highlight cards leak. That's very WotC.

 

[Kerrinck]

Not sure if it was already posted. Shuhei was caught cheating on camera spending 4 mana to cast Avacyn.
I could give him the benefit of the doubt but it was a decisive play and he counted the lands a turn earlier. Looks like he will stop playing.

[Santiako]

Looks very blatant. He even separates the lands and counts them.

They're still there, but here are more images.

 

[Simply Sarah]

It's really strange how little information comes from these story spotlights compared to the Kaladesh ones. You could put together the rough story of Kaladesh with its story cards but here we have "Pia starts a revolt (which is news to exactly no one), stuff happens, showdown with Tezz, Tezz next to rubble with a Bolas callout".

 

[OnPoint]

Looks kinda like Tezz wins? But are we missing a fifth card? Or are there only four.

 

[El Topo]

If only BatB was an instant.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

It was so stupid that Tezz had to cheat in the showdown with Pia and with stupid I mean comically bad writing. Tezzeret has decades of experience more and a direct connection to one of the most powerful metals in magic, he doesn't need to cheat and he's utterly prideful. He might stab you after he loses but he'll fight you fair and square.

we are missing 3 you can see them numbered next to the collector's number.

We are missing number 1, we have 2,3,4,5.

disallow is 1.

Still not surprised by the bad writing and horrible use of their cast. Every good guy should be good, and every bad guy a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Disallow is clearly 3.

It's fine with one dimensional characters like Ob Nixilis but Tezzeret isn't one of those.

Disallow is clearly 3.

How is that a 3?

 

[Santiako]

How is that a 3?

How is that a 1? Compare it to the collector's number in the same card.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

You're right looks like it's 3.

 

[y2dvd]

Wonder how much Disallow will hurt the Marvel decks. Stopping activated triggers is huge.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I like this latest attempt to make Cancel great again. It "feels" right, but time will tell of course.

 

[phazedplasma]

I like disallow. Its so versatile.

 

[OnPoint]

I know he isn't supposed to be but this is how he's being written

 

[Santiako]

Disallow is good against Emrakul. You can either counter the 13/13 or the mindslaver.

 

[kirblar]

Seems like Bolas doing the world a solid favor in blowing up that portal. Bad guy does bad things for good reason trope?

 

[OnPoint]

Seems like Bocas doing the world a solid favor in blowing up that portal. Bad guy does bad things for good reason trope?

I'm guessing 'Bocas' is a typo for Bolas? I'm not up to date on the story, but is that what happens? He has Tezz blow up the portal?

 

[Hero]

But is Disallow as balanced as Cryptic Command?

 

[Angry Grimace]

I got worked.

I opened a P3 Angel of Invention and tried really hard to change the deck to include the double white and went 1-2.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Guys, the reason they never made Voidslime into a straight colored spell wasn't because Voidslime is too powerful, its because Stifle is a confusing effect for newer players.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

countering activated abilities is also a green effect

 

[Infinite Stars]

Seems like Bolas doing the world a solid favor in blowing up that portal. Bad guy does bad things for good reason trope?

If I had to guess, Bolas wants the Portal(and likely Phyrexians) to Stay where they are right now. It does him no good if they have free access to a transdimenional Portal they can use freely, after all.

Basically what Bolas can't control himself he wants destroyed.

 

[DashReindeer]

Monoblue Voidslime confuses me, but also makes my EDH decks pretty happy.

 

[charlequin]

This is maybe a silly question, but how do people know that the last card depicts the broken portal? Is there a picture of it somewhere?

 

[traveler]

What's Tezz's current standing with Bolas and the Phyrexians like anyways?

Seems to be speculation on kirblar's part.

 

[OnPoint]

I feel like Tezz is going to end up the antihero in all of this.

I was just piggybacking off someone else.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Hard to say, he doesn't seem to be fully Bolas puppet anymore but he still seems to be an accomplice. At the end of test of metal they agreed to work together but that's pretty much noncanon.

 

[OnPoint]

Tezz is the Mr Sinister to Bolas' Apocalypse. He's a friend and sometimes subordinate, but he's up to his own crazy shit, and would undermine Bolas if he had the chance to get ahead. That's how I see it.

2 EDH Rules Questions:

With Saskia's ability and Panharmonicon out, will you be able to target 2 players for the damage forking?

Do infect creatures give poison counters to the player that Saskia targets?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

YesNo and yes. Also note that the damage from Saskia's trigger can be redirected to PWs

1) No, Saskia's ability says "as she enters the battlefield". Basically it's not a trigger; but rather an action you do as a player as she shows up on the battlefield

2) Yes, they do. ANY damage dealt by the creature is dealt as infect. So you can double infect players.

edit: watching familien edit his post three times in a minute is funny

Pls no. We have enough antiheroes.

 

[OnPoint]

Pls no. We have enough antiheroes.

Who? No one else is anymore.

Garruck is a murderer
Sarkhan is no longer crazy
Liliana is a sarcastic good guy
Sorin is on ice
Ashiok is ???
Bolas is evil
Phyrexians are evil
Nahiri is crazy

There are no others filling this role currently

 

[bigkrev]

The follow up is that this is more a thing they want to do to all sets, and are just using this as an example
I'm not sure I like Wizards going through and deciding what cards should be removed from classic formats because they would probably be terrible at it.

This is really stupid. Come on.

Dovin Baan

I don't think he's proved to be a villain yet. Did they ever even go over his involvement in the story besides getting the Gatewatch to come to Kaladesh? I feel like he's an unwitting pawn in Tezzeret's scheme.
