Just had a thought - what if it's an Enchant Land enchantment?

The art is big enough for it.

Eldrazi flip cards confirmed
That is awesome, I'm really curious about the regular side now.

Ash, it's spoiler season. Don't even post mock ups, please. It's too easy to put people's hearts a flutter.

Oh man, an entire village turned into a protoplasmic mass is so cool

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I bet you this isn't happening
Put MOCKUPMOCKUP acoss diagonally in indented clear font.
If it doesn't happen, you can't complain about mana flood or screw for a year.

It's far easier to just make it so one of them is a flip card and the other isn't and just say if you control both you can sac them to flip the one with the flip side. There's no benefit to the BFM design and that kind of design isn't new: they've had Tron-like mechancis forever.
Also the chance of ♦ appearing on a card is like negligible, they're not gonna make colorless matters stuff

There's no benefit to using a BFM design other than proving your theory is right. The identical in practice mechanic could be made by having Bruna's card say "Sac Gisela: Transform Bruna." and having the combo card on the reverse of Bruna's card.

When Magic goes for body horror they fucking nail it.

I'm disappointed there's apparently lots of Eldrazi in this set. I think they're actually fucking up in a way I didn't think they could.
The only thing I can guess is that they dramatically underestimated how much people like Eldrazi and how well the Return to Zendikar would be received.

I love those two kids watching.
So, for the new OT OP, we already have the title card (moons everywhere), and the Set Details art will probably be Emrakul rising out of the water. The art at the end will probably be that. I was otherwise planning on using the merged angel art, but I don't want to scroll past that every time I edit the OP.

I don't think we'll be having LOTS. Just certain cards morphed into eldrazi counterparts.
shit is scary af

There are at least 6 colorless cards before Emrakul, and this one is not one of them (check the collector number).
Eh. There's worse things. Like, at least Bruna and Gisela are together.

Emrakul at 7 actually has me thinking we're seeing no more than 20-25 Eldrazi in the set. Even for a small set that's not a ton, I don't feel
holy shit, this might be it hahahaha

There's 40 in Oath of the Gatewatch. 25 is a lot for a "non-Eldrazi" set, particularly given we also have an Eldrazi tutors.

I'm not disappointed with any of this so far. I anticipated Bloodborn, I have received Bloodborn. The eldrazi filling the cosmic aspect of bloodborn fits perfectly.
I can see the angle where people are bummed about it from a continuing mechanic perspective, at least. Infect was hated by tons of people back in the day and if that had continued to appear there would have been people wouldn't have been happy. So far tho, this is just flavoring. Gameplay wise, it just seems like we're getting Innistrad mechanics with cosmic horror flavor.
Emrakul gets sealed in the moon at the end, lili breaks the chain veil during, accidentally resurrects Yawgmoth, everyone moves on to another plane, status quo restored. In hindsight the players will see that Emrakul actually drove them irrationally mad and we'll all just have a pint down at the winchester.

But flavor is a reason people want to see different Planes. I don't want to play Innistrad for Zendikar flavor.

I guess this specific version of eldritch horror fits well into Innistrad for me. I don't feel like this is Zendikar style Eldrazi

Yeah, what we've seen of the Eldrazi so far is a very different presentation from what we saw in Battle for Zendikar block. Remember that people in this very thread were complaining about how BFZ didn't do much Lovecraftian Horror stuff with them.

I wouldn't call Eldrazi part of the Zendikar flavor. They were after all kept separate originally, to the extent that people are actively mad that BFZ block had Eldrazi in it (to the point of hounding Maro).
Can't wait to see how people react to the coming interplanar war.
It's The Myst creature yo!

Eldrazi flip cards confirmed
After tokens it swings for 13

The real question is whether we see cards requiring colorless mana.

Right.. because... guillotines use.. .gunpowder (???)
This was super obviously going to happen. The theme of Innistrad flip cards is "dark transformation"; Emrakul causes people and things to transform; doing flip cards lets you pay colored mana for a card that becomes colorless without using devoid.
Similarly, devoid was obviously never going to happen here since it doesn't mean anything in-block. In BFZ it's a major mechanical theme and super relevant to limited, it wouldn't do anything here.
zomg this image is incredible
Maro also confirmed this is not happening today, it's a Kozilek thing only.

Commune with Lava + Pull from the Blind Eternities is kinda fun synergy.
