Kinda wondering if there's a cycle of 1 mana modern/legacy plants.

Enchantment
Whenever you cast a creature spell with power 4, 5, or 6, you may target a creature, planeswalker, or player. Sarkhan's Broken Seal deals 4 damage to the choosen target.

Whenever you cast a creature spell with power 7 or greater, Sarkhan's Broken Seal deals 4 damage to all creatures and planeswalkers each opponent controls.

Dumb and I love it.

I would absolutely play that red enchantment. It's pretty much confirmed that I'll be making some dumb dragons deck when this hits.

I used those two examples because the action is happening at the same time (meaning you put this into play with those spells.) It is a card that already needs to be on the battlefield, much like Containment Priest. But unlike the Priest, it doesn't have flash.

He means you can't put it on the battlefield as part of the effect of those spells and then sac it to prevent your opponent from getting the value.

The point being that the card's problem is that you aren't gonna play a 1/1 and reasonably expect to have it stay there, except it has to in order to do anything.

Weird and super niche card, but I am glad that red is consistently getting effects like this now. Note that just naming one Urza land (that's part of the Urzatron combo) shuts down the combo, since they rely on the card types and not the card names.



Neat. Surprised we're seeing two different clone effects this set, with one at uncommon. I didn't notice until it was pointed out in the chat that this can enchant one of your opponent's creatures to turn it into a weaker one.

The deck that wants that card is a deck that finds Blood Moon to be 3 times more expensive than they're willing to pay for that effect. You put that in the sideboard of 8-whack or something.

I honestly don't know why Hasbro hasn't done something like this yet. They have -so- many properties, they could do an entire silver bordered Hasbro franchise set for fun. I guess they take Magic too seriously to do something like that but its dumb justification when the Un- sets already exist

How do you guys get promos from Open House? I like the full art Guttersnipe card and could see my self messing around with a burn Snipe deck in standard. Open House is usually for introducing people to MTG though right? With the Planeswalker decks being available at Open House with this set i'm thinking the wife and I may just head to the LGS and pick up 2 decks for $20 and play a game if it means we each get a Guttersnipe.

I will be curious to see if this is better than Curscatcher in Merfolk. Will be very metagame dependent I bet

Here is the explanation of Chromium
Chromium was the Elder Dragon with the best-defined backstory, aside from Bolas himself. He appeared in several of the Magic: The Gathering comics from the 1990s. In one of the stories, he used a sleep spell to stop his sister Palladia-Mors from massacring humans. He transformed himself into a human so that he could live among them unnoticed and periodically renew the spell. I used that tale as inspiration for my design, which is my final preview card for today. I give you, Chromium, the Mutable:

My friends and I made a full custom cube with cards designed around Marvel, DC, Star Trek, Star Wars and some other random nerd properties. Drafting that is probably the most fun any of us can possibly have with the game of Magic.

Thought about posting it here at some point, but all the art is stolen off of Google searches and I wasn't sure how people would feel about that.

All custom card sets do that. Even if you don't give credit to the artists, I think it will be fine if they're easy to find with Google searches.

Design article by Ethan Fleischer

About the cards, I'm kind of surprised they're using the unblockable part of protection after all. Chromium is a neat design.

There's also an artifact horse

Richard Garfield designed for Dominaria a cycle of "lucky charm" artifact creatures that gain you life when you cast a spell of a certain color, which got consolidated into this creature. The art for this was controversial, with some in Wizards thinking it's too rainbowy, I suppose.

The article also has the tidbit that in Japanese, Vaevictis Asmadi was translated as though Vaevictis was a title on the old card, so they had to make sure the new card's name could be translated the same way.

The art was controversial for what reason? It's a double rainbow that players are going to love meme-reliving through. I promise that art will be a home run. Sometimes I wonder who is running the show over there and if they just luck into doing things right.

Here's what Ethan said.
Now, I don't mind telling you that the art on this card was a bit controversial. Some said it pushed too far from Magic's typical style. Others loved it because it pushed the boundaries. But both sides agreed that it was the Magic art most likely to have appeared on a Trapper Keeper in 1988. Personally, I love it! Let's take a closer look!

And other cards.

Mythic seems a bit much for the second, but it is a big flyer.

Is this set not being released in China? There's a lot of skeletons.

The first annoys me a bit because "It was a day like any other," works better as the first sentence.

The second has flying and "Sacrifice CARDNAME: Exile all cards in target player's graveyard."

Flickering effects overlap in W/U, this is fine, it's a variant on those.

This is the first time I've seen someone call Containment Priest a variant on flickering effects. I mean it kills tokens, but so do bounce and burn and -X/-X and...

Edit: LOL what the fuck was I saying, they don't hit tokens.

It's just discouraging when an eternal-playable effect in White is suddenly in Blue's color pie.

They're the two colors with exile shenanigans.
