Ravnica Resurgence: Magic the Gathering

drp527

pretty sure he's the villain in the next Duels of the Planeswalkers game

SLyM

Isn't he already the villain for the one that's out?

Or at least the last guy you fight there really isn't a story for that.

drp527

all I remember is they said something about him being the focus of M13/something else

also I have never actually played a Duels game

drp527

new spoilers up

drp527

I actually really like our first Wolfir

Radius

That wolf, I love him already.

PiptheFair

that smuggler could be nasty

drp527

two more came in from other sites

PiptheFair

holy moley that champion

SLyM

At first I was like "ehh they're gonna kill it pretty quick anyway"

but then I remembered how everything in this set goes away and comes back all the time.

The Good Doctor Tran

Yea, I'm glad AVR won't be drafted with DKA. Dealing with Increasing Savagery or the other counter instants and that champ would suuuuck.

The Good Doctor Tran

For the daily mtg spoilers I'm mostly interested in the wolfir. I expect to see a few infect rogue decks still desperately trying to make it all work with that. Should also show up in some ramp.

Klendy

that nephalia guy can be fun when it interacts with things like Fiend Hunter and/or Fiend Hunter

drp527

new weird enchantment

PiptheFair

I pretty much exclusively draft so that enchantment is kinda


I don't know? confusing

drp527

I really don't know what it's supposed to help with

the only thing I can really think of it doing is some weird trick with Mirror of Fate or Barren Glory or something, and for both of those there are far better options

PiptheFair

maybe they want mill to be a real thing again?

drp527

but this doesn't even really do anything for mill, just constantly eradicates both players' hands and/or fields

though the wording with and/or makes me think we'll be seeing something in the set that would make one or both of the effects desirable

edit: although actually I guess I could see it performing reasonably well in a token deck assuming you have enough producers to support the exiling of permanents, but it really seems too slow to help tokens

Kwoaru

So this is a set coming out soon right? I wonder if I can have enough scratch set aside to take part in a release event thing

drp527

pre-release is the 28th-29th, with release the following weekend

drp527

and just in is the R/W land Slayers' Stronghold (approximately)

effect is pretty much "target creature gets +2/+0 and has haste and vigilance until end of turn"

Meiz

That's awesome. Cost is great, it pings images and will be an asset to aggro.

TheBlackWind

Yeah that land is damn good.

sort of an interesting smokestack/death cloud variant

the mana cost keeps it from being too breakable but it's a potentially powerful effect

drp527

now confirmed (via some Spanish store opening a pack way in advance I guess) are reprints of Thunderbolt and Barter in Blood

edit: well at least there's a really bad quality image of a Spanish Thunderbolt with new art and AVR set symbol, and beyond that just the poster's word that BiB was in the same thing

TheBlackWind

They both kind of make sense for the set, so I wouldn't be shocked.

I read that as lightning bolt at first and was all AHAHAHAHA.

oh man same

PiptheFair

all

haha who needs fucking sustain

aggro time like whoa

drp527

I am not entirely sure if I'd be happy with Lightning Bolt being back or not, probably though because hey more chances to pick some up and use them places

he's also listed a few other cards (without names) and provided one other sorta-blurry picture (still clear enough to make out text though) of a new card, so I may as well list off the stuff even if it's not quite fully confirmed yet

3BB enchantment, gives you a 5/5 flying demon if you have 1 or less creatures at upkeep (rare)
1R instant, discard your hand then draw (2 or 3, not known for sure) cards (common)
1W human soldier, 2/1 vigilance (common)
W human _____, 1/2 pro-vampires (common?)
and then Appetite for Brains which we already know and some red knight with no other details

drp527

and I guess I should probably put up the vigilance guy's picture so

TheBlackWind

That card is meh but that art is awesome.

SLyM

I kinda get the feeling decent into madness will be banned in EDH?

I mean, eventually it will reach the point where no one has any permanents or hands anymore.

drp527

I don't know if that's ban-able at least insofar as the official rules go, but it'd certainly be a no-fun situation and I can see lots of playgroups forbidding it (though that's probably what you meant????)

although then again answers to enchantments are something I rather frequently run into when playing EDH, so maybe not

SLyM

Well, things like limited resources, balance, sway of the stars, and upheaval all seem to me to be very similar to decent into madness, and they are all banned.

drp527

huh, then you could very well be right, I didn't know what was on the ban list but it didn't initially seem that bad to me (you're right it is somewhat similar to those)

also rare land posted by the same guy from the other un-proven ones (and one proven):
when ______ (name unknown) enters the battlefield, name a creature type
tap, add one colorless to your manapool
tap, add one mana of any color to your manapool, use it only to cast a creature of the chosen type. that spell can't be countered

drp527

Tuesday's reveals are up, confirming that one demon spawning enchantment (though the guy's wording was slightly off)

TheBlackWind

Not gonna play it, but I love the flavor of Angel of Glory's Rise.

Entreat is aaaaawesome.

Radius

Avacyn becomes a 10/10 and only costs 5 mana now? Awesome.

drp527

adding in one more

super anti-human

drp527

and another one

approximate translation: Somberwald Sage
tap, add three mana of any one color to your mana pool, spend this mana only to play creature spells

situationally better (effect-wise) BoP that is still a 0/1 at three mana
