To discuss any theros spoilers, speculation, questions, etc. If a mod could sticky this, I'd be glad. Please stay on topic, people.
New Chandra. New Garruk. I'm guessing the plot involves them somehow.
Elspeth, i feel, would really fit. Maybe just some of the rather old walkers?
Thanks, someone, for stickyting this.
Gideon could be a spartan. Though the Spartans seem very {W}{U}
They were very calm and collected in battle (thanks to soothing music played before hand) yet they were a military, trained very hard and were very disciplined
Maybe three colour? That'd be great, since the Spartans, I think, we're {W}{R}with a splash of {U}
Karn.

I know how you feel... Venser needs to be reincarnated, along with urza.
I don't think red fits the Spartans. Red is raw emotion. The Spartans took steps to completely remove emotion from there soilders before combat. Therefore, the soilders could think better and make better desicion's. they definitly favored thought over emotion
You forget red's fighting for what they believe in, passion, and stuff.
If the Spartans had magic they could definitly trump the boros

Yes, though red also charges in without thinking. The Spartans never did that I think
Let me just say, planeswalkers that represent Greek gods.
Athena=Elspeth due to the fact the both specialize in battle strategies.
Aphrodite=Nissa because, I don't know sex appeal??? I still don't get why Nissa is so expensive...
Zeus=Chandra-like walker or just Chandra
Hades=New Walker
Ares=Koth/Sarkhan
Hephestus=Tezzeret
That's all I can think of at the moment.

red is about emotions. She invokes certain emotions in people (the goddess of love)
Red is also passion and emotion. Why does everyone forget that?

True. Though she did develope real feelings for Jace
I doubt the "Gods" will be represented by planeswalkers but rather crazy amazing legendary creatures. And maybe their "Zeus" could be a crazy awesome new planeswalkers probably released in the last expansion of the block. Like karn in the latest Mirrodin block But I'm down for anything.
Aphrodite wasn't always that virtuous. Married to Hephaestus by Zeus and Hera, she then slept with ares and was caught and displayed in midst of the act by the lame good himself. Not am insult, this is how he's referenced in mythology.

Actually he was lame due to he was hera's creation, just as Athena was born solely from Zeus. Sorry had this as a class and I guess to much stuck with me.

I'm not sure there is an any non disgusting stuff in Greek mythology :P it's pretty damn messed up.
Think we'll get a Pandora's box like card? Trojan horse? I'd love to see a cycle of cards that are given to the opponent when they ETB. And build a deck around them :D
Since {Noble Hierarch} wasn't reprinted, and it seems like a seer, and that exalted would fit in with a mythology themed block, can we see exalted return?

maybe...exalted could also be considered {worship}. So we may see it in a block that has Gods...although it was brought back in M13 set, so I doubt it
I'm hoping for some {Damnation} {Wrath of God} or {Day of Judgment} reprints. Goes with the flavor.
How the heck did I not realize this! Graduer! That mechanic from future sight! It might be in theros
{Baru, fist of Krosa}
If it is an enchantment block we could see aura swap
I love aura swap, it is so much fun when you put an {Eldrazi Conscriptions} for the swap. :)

{Korlash, Heir to Blackblade} reprint!?!?! That'd be sweet! I don't see it happening though 😓
If we do have reprint abilities from old sets, I'd love a reprint of suspend, and maybe {jhoira of the ghitu} would be awesome. I don't predict it, though. It does sound like aggro/ enchant centered to me.
You guys are getting my hopes up way too high with this talk of Korlash and Jhoira hopes and dreams :P
You people are setting us up for disappointment! ;)
Forreal id love to be able to use
My spanish jhoira, i somewhat hate all of ou right now
I just realized how good the black graduer creature is with {Liliana, of the Dark Realms}. :)
Korlash is just a sick card! I want to see him again :(
I doubt they'll do any reprints, except maybe walkers.
I want Jace and Liliana to have had a baby and she could be a Planeswalker. I mean that's who is on {Syncopate}, right? 😏
I only mentioned grandeur because it would fit Narcissis. So it seemed like a likely possibility
Narcissis could look like this
{B}{B}{3}
Creature-human
{B}{B}{T}: search your library for a card named CARDNAME and put it in your hand. Shuffle your library afterward
Grandeur-discard a card named CARDNAME. Put X +1/+1 counters on CARDNAME were X is CARDNAME's power. You lose X life

They knocked boots on Ravnica. Then Liliana betrayed him to Tezzeret. Planeswalkers weren't a card type at the time, or we'd have our 6th Jace by now.

Hm? I need to finish that book. What I got was Jace and Kallist basically swapped bodies and Kallist had his mind blown apart by Jace, and then Kallist was killed and Jace was recruited by Tezzeret. Liliana was with Jace the whole time, knowing it was him and not Kallist, but I don't remember what happened to her when Jace went to the Consortium.
Almost perfect, but she did think it was Kallist.
Well I'm lost...

Flicker, it's from a book called "Agents of Artifice"

How much?
I want to find it now, and read throughly. Probably do some projects for them. :)

Yes. Online, kindle, and google play books.

Edit: I found it. Looks like I'll be reading for awhile.
Good books might want to read
The Purifying Fire
Test of Metal
Plus the online comics
Man I wish they'd make more novels 😪

Anyone think theros might care about mono-colored decks?
Aka color keywords?
The set after it is code named "Huewy" "Dewy" and "Lewy" which makes me think multi-colored again

What about 'Curse of the Chain Veil'?
http://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2013/03/what-we-learned-pax-east-march-25/
They tell there plans for the set "born of the gods" In this article
Using ravnica city of guilds and lorewyn as a template we can expect strong two color synergy possibly with hybrid mana.
Going back to mono color after a gold set is awkward and we will not get another gold set. Rosewater has said on many occasions that multicolor (gold) sets need to be spaced out.
Ah ok. Cool
Just throwing this out there but I wounded if the dual land will be the other five they left out from the SoM block.
MaRo said they are not doing dual lands because they are low in demand
Ok thanks just would like to see the rest one day
Does anyone know about the "_______ of phobus" cards? I heard they're doing those.
Then I'm guessing it be coming out soon...
{bridge from below} fits the underworld? Or maybe that picture was realy innistrad?
Edit: yea. The guy is wearing innistrad-y clothes
I feel that theros block will maybe have some hybrid in it. Not like rtr block with multicolored. Also birdbrain, maro said that the code names have nothing to do with the set.
I don't know if {Bridge from Below} will be printed again (outside the obvious Modern Masters reprint). It is extremely confusing as to what it actually does, and we just left Innistrad - which is the perfect setting for a reprint of that card.
I can imagine something functionally similar to it, but probably more apparent as to how it functions.
Anyone have insight onto the Walkers? I think they should make a new Koth and Nicol Bolas. I think Nicy because this is a plane he would like, it seems, and if there's a plane like this he's probably in on it. While the others were ducking it out on Ravnica, he probably had gotten half Tfe plane already. Koth because he fits in this, and they haven't done him for awhile.
Does anybody else think the scry mechanic could come back in this set. Scrying is a mechanic to let you see the future and Greek mythology does have stories that deal with seeing or changing the future.
Seems possible they'll try to bring back old mechanics...
(Screaming} BANDING!
Would threshold fit?
I wanna see the leveling up stuff like with demigods or soldiers and stuff like that with level counters
I think we might see a certain reprint from homelands. Now before you all go -1ing me.

Well, we do know for certain now that Theros is getting dual lands. I'm gonna guess a set of buddy and a set of enemy spread throughout the block. Since both the core and innistrad lands rotate out at the same time.
I have my fingers crossed for a set of {Grove of the Burnwillows} type lands. It's a pipe-dream, I know, but it would make me very happy.
I still don't know why you think they will give is more duals.
I mean we have both shock land of all colours. And if that's not enough we also have guildgates. Both are already dual lands. With the mana fixing that's already there via the artifatcs (key runes, clue stones, prism and lantern) on top of that we have some lands that do some prism type of mana fix, and the stage that can dupe a mana fix land)
I wouldn't be surprised if the didnt just reprint evolving wilds and terramorphic expanse and say this next block needs no extra help.
My 2c
An article on DailyMTG today stated that Theros had duals.
Well there you go :)

{River of Tears}. That's the only one with that effect. Each other combination of colors does something different. {Grove of the Burn-Willows}, {Nimbus Maze}, {Graven Cairns}, etc.
I think something like {Nimbus Maze} would be sweet. That article* says we're getting some sort of lands in Theros, but they won't allow as much flexibility for tri-colored decks like our current mana base does.

I would love an introduction of dinosaurs, but I'm not sure how a whole block could cover it and how it would be received...
I would love to see some Dino's too. But isn't WoTC doing a NEW plane block and RETURN to plane Block pattern now. Or has that just been lately???
What pattern? New phyrexia was based on mirrodin, WotC said that innastrad was based on onslaught, and return to Ravnica is obviously based on Ravnica.
Well, I guess innastrad wasn't the same plane as onslaught, but it was based on it.

What if dinosaur world (we got a glimps of it in future sight, and again in modern masters) is realy domainiria when magic first became available to them? What if if we go to dinosaur world, we are traveling into the past?
Or, maybe it could have been created from Dominiria's long past during the time spiral/planar chaos events. So its a copy of Dominiria, but pristine and new

Started in that cycle. It was reprinted in Lorwyn.
Actualy. {nimus maze} seems the most likley possibility. It fits in with Greek mythology, about the labyrinth and the Minotaur. And {labyrinth Minotaur} is blue. So I think Mikefrompluto is right

This, basically.

Yeah i was thinking that too, but i was more wondering what cards were in it because it sounded very combo heavy.

Absolutely not. I'd love to give my abandoned {Astral Slide} deck more cards to play with.
What do you do in it?

This, basically. Cycle {Tranquil Thicket} and {Secluded Steppe} over and over via {Life from the Loam} and exile either their creatures and attack, or my own {Primeval Titan} or {Terastodon} to destroy their lands (or my own [which I can get back with Loam] to net 3/3 tokens,) then flick their elephant tokens making them go bye-bye.
Ouch! Thats..... Really mean! I love it!
Here's a link if interested in checking it out. It does take a minute to go off since its so mana heavy, but {Trostani, Selesnya's Voice} helps brings you back when you start sliding your own creatures.
I remember astraslide back in odyssey/onslaught... Holy batman, had some good matches against it with my R/G madness...
I was sad to see no {searing spear} in M14, hopefully we have some decent burn in theros
Nope. I think I saw {shock} though.

it would be cool if they combined fading with suspend. Whenever something totally faded, it would be suspended, and then come back in when it was done fading. Sort of like phasing, only more flavorful

I like the tribal lands from Lorwyn block better. And since we are speculating that Theros would be tribal, they make more sense.

Ya it's OP. which is why they won't do it. And I wouldn't consider innistrad a very "tribal" block. It had tribal aspects but when I think tribal, I think Lorwyn or Scourge. Both those blocks were nothing but tribal. Innistrad went halvies on the tribal, which is why werewolves and vampires weren't that great.
I'm just going off what people are saying. The lands could be tribal based like i said.
Hopefully they reprint the alpha dual lands lol jk
Legendary lands. Like in kamigawa :)
What I want to see are depicitations of Greek and Roman Gods in Theros.
Example:
Ares,God of Combat {4}{R}{R}{R}
Whenever a source would deal damage to a player,it deals twice that damage instead.
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control,destroy that creature.Ares,God of Combat deals damage equal to that creatures toughness.
4/5
Or:
Posiedon,Master of the Seas. {5}{U}{U}
Hexproof,Islandwalk.
Creatures you control have Islandwalk
All lands are Islands in addition to their other types.
Creatures without Flying or Islandwalk cant attack.
4/3

Well that would suck. With your wording YOU would take double damage as well.
I know a card that would not only be a perfect reprint for theros, but would be an excellent choice for control and would slow the meta down significantly, causing players to focus more on bigger creatures than an abundance of creatures, and would help the bigger cards in the ravnica block breathe and see some play...
{soul barrier}. I hope they reprint this in the theros block!
Also, I think hades would have something to do with creatures in the graveyard, yet still be {U}{B}. Maybe an effect that exiles creatures from a graveyard?
{U}{U}{B}{B}{1}
Hades, lord of the underworld
Ledgendary creature-??
When CARDNAME deals combat damage to a player, that player loses 1 life for every creature in that players graveyard. That player discards 1 card off the top of there library for every point of damage CARDNAME deals to that player in combat.
4/4
Or maybe
{U}{B}{3}
Hades, lord of the underworld
Ledgendary creature-??
When CARDNAME deals combat damage to a player, that player puts the top X cards of there library into there graveyard, were X is the number of creatures in that players graveyard.
4/4
I like the concept but the theros gods will likely be mono color.
Yeeeaaahh... Assuming those are the walkers.
Would {soul barrier} fit in this block do you people think? It would definitly slow down the meta if it was

we do have lots of quality creatures. Players wouldn't need more. They would have to just play quality creatures rather than a quantity of them.
On the other hand. I can see a card like this that activated when a creature dies in theros, representing the river Styx

Pegasus Saddle. {2}
Artifact - equipment

I just can't wait for this set! I've always been fascinated by mazes, I used to draw about one a day on triangular graph paper, they would come out insane! Needless to say, one of my favorite mythical beasts is the Minotaur. Minotaurs and Labyrinths are definitely greek/roman, I want to see them do something Interesting with that. Look through M14 really well, a lot of cards in there were made for Theros block, and a lot of them foretell what we may see. There are a hell of a lot of Minotaurs in M14, most of them undead though, remember our buddy {Boros Reckoner}? Minotaur baby! Even of they don't do anything, especially after printing {Maze's End}, I'd be happy with a few more good Minotaurs.
Maybe they could make some cards that make {mazes end} more playable. And yes, I'd like to see some maze cards too. Maybe just enough to make a maze deck?
{Didgeridoo} returns?

I believe they function like Vanguard cards. As in they go to the command zone and interact with the battlefield from there. A vanguard card may have any number of static, triggered, and/or activated abilities. As long as a vanguard card is in the command zone, its static abilities affect the game, its triggered abilities may trigger, and its activated abilities may be activated.

I don't see why not. They claim to be using the enchantments from M14 as a building block. Only reason I can think of for them not including slivers is because they want to go in another direction thematically.
I wonder if journey to nyx has a small graveyard theme...sounds like the theros storyline might end badly.....
Nyx rhymes with Styx. Like the river Styx

Believe they're staying away from that, since we'd be leaving a graveyard theme set. But that isn't a bad prediction.
For the walkers. We know Elspeth. I'm also guessing Dak, and either the merfolk walker, or a sliver walker
My reasoning for Dack as a walker?
http://www.magicspoiler.com/theros-spoiler/
Also, wizards is cutting down in the story department. Which means, Dack as a pic in a theros background probably means he's going to be made as a walker...
I hope they make Fblthp a walker instead of the merfolk or a sliver walker
Edit: Dack is a Theif...the two colors that steal stuff are {R} and {U}. I'm guessing he'll be those colors
Woo called elsepth :)

Wasn't Dack just on Ravnica? He goes everywhere the sets go, because he's the main dude in the comics. I think Kiora Atua will be on this set for sure, Dack I am not positive about.
Ok, I thought this was also a legendary block. This is what caused them to change the rules for the legends.
By the way. ELSPETH!!!!!!!!!!
I've been reading through every page waiting to say Kiora Atua will make an appearance too. The classic Zeus line "Release the Kraken" has Kiora all over it. Also, for a narrative like Magic that spans across infinite plans, I'm a little sick of endless reprints of past Planeswalkers when there's so much scope for new ones and so many mechanics they can be based on that haven't been used yet, like green's mana ramp hasn't really been PW represented yet from memory.
Just sayin. We do not ANOTHER Jace (for example) when we could actually get a Dak or a Kiora. This being said, I can see Koth in this set.
Koth and Elspeth are the only block reprints aloud in my opinion. The rest should be new. And GOOD! Not the "balanced" planeswalkers we have now. We need a {Jace the Mindsculptor} type of planeswalker, with a great set to go along with it. Unlike worldwake which had Jace, and a few other cards thrown in.
They actually said there would be two new Elspeths and one other walker.
Uh no. It say elspeth and two new walkers. So just 1 elspeth.
18 revealed card art from Theros (http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/breathtaking-new-art-from-theros#slide=64160782)

Quote from: Mark Rosewater:
The highlights revealed at the panel:
- It is to Greek mythology what Innistrad was to gothic horror
- Top-down design
- First time I lead the design and Erik Lauer led the development since Innistrad
- the block has an enchantment theme somehow connected to the gods
- The set has gods, heroes and monsters. Each has a new mechanic tied to it
- Of the other two mechanics, one is a repeated mechanic brought back that strongly hits the flavor of Greek mythology; the second is a mechanic that we thought had potential but didn't live up to it first time out - it has been mechanically retweaked and given a new name and flavor. The last mechanics is also tied to the gods
- There will be more legendary permanents than normal - not Kamigawa but above average
- The set's tone is one of accomplishment and adventure
- Not a lot of tribal but minotaurs get some love
- Many nods to elements of the stories of Greek myth
- 3 planeswalkers - Elspeth and two new ones
- A few gold cards but mostly monocolored with a little monocolored theme
- A Future Sight card and the set does something we've never done before except on another Future Sight card.
I feel like the returning Mechanic that was tweaked is probably Champion or Bushido.
FUSE! 😜

The rules would be pretty confusing. They've made enchantment creatures like {Halcyon Glaze}, {Veiled Sentry}, ect. We could see some of that.
Supposedly the God's are going to have alternate casting costs we've not seen yet, most likely tied to enchantments of a certain type/produce a certain new mana.
Hopefully the new enchantments say "remove all Eldrazi from all decks in the room, they cannot return under any circumstances".
I meant they can be cast either as an enchantment, or a creature. They don't swap back and forth
Like scavenge, only you skip the graveyard
Like double sided and you can cast either side! 😱
Quote from: Mlerner12 on July 21, 2013, 03:32:10 PM
Like double sided and you can cast either side! 😱
no. I mean, the equipped creature gets +X/+Y where X is the aura creatures power and Y is its toughness. Also, evergreen mechanics would transfer over
I think mine would be good-Lije, an instant on one side and a creature and you could cast either one.
Double-Sided Split Cards!
I feel like flavor wise the enchanments will be temples of the gods.
Maybe with payments (offerings) each turn.
Spoilers at comicon, enchantment based, 0 planeswalkers, god creatures and theros will be big while the other two or small.

From Wikipedia
" Set details
Theros has a ancient Greek themed top-down design, making use of many mythological tropes. It is the first set to thematically take place on the plane of Theros. It is mostly monocolored with a handful of gold cards. There is a little monocolored theme. Theros will be an enchantment block that plays off building blocks in M14 and Return to Ravnica block. It's not just "enchantment matters". The mood and tone are those of Greek myth: adventure, achievement, accomplishment, a hero's journey. Many existing creature types will be getting reworked to match the Greek flavor. Apart from Minotaurs, it's not a tribal set. Other confirmed creature types are Kraken, Gorgons, Griffins, Hydras, Centaurs, Merfolk, Satyrs and Sphinxes. Elves ar confirmed out. There are three Planeswalkers in the set; one is Elspeth and the other two are new ones. There will be an above average amount of legendary permanents.
Storyline
Theros is very dangerous land outside of the walled cities Meletis, Akris and Setessa (which are inspired by Athens and Sparta). Nyx is the night sky, and home of the gods, it moves around each night. The five main gods are: Heliod (white), Erebos (black), Nylea (green), Thassa (blue) and ... (red). The gods can take multiple forms and walk among mortals. The planeswalker Elspeth Tirel will fight a Hydra and attracts the attention of Heliod. Elspeth doesn't want to be a hero and does not believe she will be called on to be a leader in a world of gods. Minotaurs are the rampaging savages of Theros. The Merfolk of Theros are called 'Tritons'. Thassa (goddesss of the sea) favours appearing as a Triton when she's among mortals.
Themes and mechanics
Themes are: Heroes, Monsters, and Gods
There are five mechanics in Theros. Including something people have been asking for
Three new mechanics. One each for the Heroes, Monsters, and Gods.
The enchantment theme is connected to the gods
Of the other two mechanics, one is a repeated mechanic brought back that strongly hits the flavor of Greek mythology;
the second returning mechanic is a mechanic that the developers thought had potential but didn't live up to it first time out - it has been mechanically retweaked and given a new name and flavor.
The Hero mechanic is possibly Hero's Reward, which appears in the challenge deck of the prerelease.
Card types
Theros introduces the supertype Elite and the Creature type Head."
I still say exalted!! If the information is accurate...
There is a pretty interesting conversation going on here:

YUSH!
How would fblthp fit the story though? I think he would be blue and/or white. Because he was in service to the azurious
Although probably more blue than white actually, sense white is a social color at its core, and fblthp is an uber introvert
Do you think we'll finally see a Legendary Hound type for us thematic/tribal deck fanatics? There has been quite a few more hound types appearing in recent sets, maybe a particular three headed Boss Dog to follow...?

Im not sure the Wizards would purposefully make him a dog lord (with the 'other _____ creatures get +1/+1 ability), at least not yet, but they can't stop us deck tweekers from making him so! Ultimately, Id love him to be {W}{B}{R} but I know there's only a handful of golds. It makes more sense in my flavour-mind to make him those colours.
Not all lords give +1/+1.
There are a lot of other things they can do mechanically, that would fit it being a dog lord, and for Cerberus
I must say, Greek Mythology is one of my favorite things ever, my mind is going ballistic with possibility! I'm not sure if anyone else is still on here as well from when Gathering began, but the first thing I thought of with the announcement of Theros was the God of War (Playstation game) fan set I made and posted! Pretty sure they're going to print my Kratos, Ghost of Sparta creature and Kratos, God Killer planeswalker I made. 😜

(...before people tell me how this wouldn't work why it's not blah blah blah just to make yourself sound smart or smarter than everyone else, it's just a bit of fun and sticking closer to GoW than magic conventions, just thought we might have a laugh)
I made these with the release of GoW III and the enchantment creature thing that we've been proposing here I thought of back then! YAY me!
Not to be off topic, but the ".love. YEAH GOD OF WAR" at the bottom made me laugh 😄
Pretty sweet, though! 👍
Not sure if this is already very obvious or not, but {Awaken the Ancient} seems like a dead giveaway of what's to come in theros, thoughts?

the titans I think
I think they'll make a titans cycle in Theros.
That makes sense because Sun Titan is in the Duel Decks, just like Jarad was in IvG. Although MaRo has said that it is nice to be rid of the titans because they dominated standard while they were legal.

which possibly means a new set of titans which are B rank rares rather than A rank rares
That's a shame,was really looking forward for Titans in Theros.

Maybe Fblthp is a Dimir mastermind who was working to bring about the gateless movement so that they could stir things up and create divisions among the guilds and planeswalkers. You know who else would benefit from discontent in Ravnica? The Rakdos cult. Holy crap...Fblthp is Nicol Bolas in disguise!!!

B/W chroma in eventide was the bomb
What was chroma? I wasn't aroun.
It did things based on how many of the same mana symbols are in a card's casting cost.
{Heartlash Cinder,} {Light from Within,} etc.

{Light from within} was my favorite chroma card. Worked brilliant with alk the crratures with mana symbols in the the cost. " {divinity of pride} {deathbringer liege}
Wow! Chroma would be rad! In that case the Mythics Creatures will unleash in standard! {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind}, {Armada Wurm}, {Obzedat, Ghost Council}!
I think a knew black plainswalker would be nice
Maybe
(Name) {B}{B}{2}
Plains walk, protection from white
Whenever (CARDNAME) deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card.
I think it's a good plains walker, with nice abilities. Rare?
{Zodiac Rooster} is best plainswalker.

Does anyone have any guesses as to what Elspeth will be. I am assuming its not {Elspeth, the Knight Errant} because she was just in Modern Masters so what are we thinking?
Edit: and I know this is discussed very briefly a few pages back but I thought I would bring it back up to see if people had more ideas now that we know more about the set.

I'm thinking a totally new one that fits the scheme of the block. Tirel is good but I have a feeling they aren't going that route.
I say a new one... Red/white combination
Also was wondering about Kiora Atua. I know some people have said a few things about her and I think she fits into a mythical monsters of the sea theme nicely especially with krakens and *from M14* whales.

Ha! Didn't even think of that! Wonder if we'll get some nice merfolk!
Well the blue god on theros prefers to take the form of one soooo lets assume haha.
FYI for those who have no idea what we're talking about, these are the only two WotC official images of the {U}{G} planeswalkers:

i agree, but it was released during SoM if memory serves me correctly, so far enough back that it was in no way meant to allude to anything I guess. However, funny you mention the Asian aesthetic of the artwork. I was involved in a convo when {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} was first seen, combined with the idea that Kiora's teaser image looked Asian, that we would be going back to Kamigawa.

ACTUALLY!!! Now it's just twigged in my head, with the possibility of there being ample Legendaries in a themed set like Theros (having lots of actually characters and icons to base characters on) a return to Kamigawa could be a possibility of the next set after Theros and M15? Just a thought/possibility (which I'm claiming if it comes a reality, haha!)
With Krakens, Leviathans, Merfolk and similar seafaring creatures - it could be a safe bet for Kiora Atua to pop up. Especially coming off a multi color block with Simic in it. The only reason I could possibly imagine for her omission is that it's not multicolored block. But they did say some cards would be gold, if it fit the card.
That seems legit, going back to Kamigawa would be awesome, hopefully they would reprint the dragons as mythics.
I would adore a return to Kamigawa!!! More rats for EDH! More Kirin (based on one of my fav of mythical creatures, Quilin)! And hopefully more Bushido, if anything will get me playing Aggro again...
As long as this one is GOOD and does't have Isamaru, I am okay with it.
Quote from: Mlerner12 on July 25, 2013, 11:35:06 PM

To be fare to Isamaru, you didn't get a {W} 2/2 without some form of drawback in those days. This was the first card to do that. Ignoring the fact that it is legendary but you get the point. All the other 2/2 one drops had something like sacrifice a creature, or lose 2 life, etc...
Yeah.. The legendary part just sickens me,
{Isamaru, Hound of Konda}
{Foo Fighters}
I have made noise on here about wanting a return to kamigawa before. However, I'm also hoping to see dinosaur world. But that's either a new plane, or an old plane in the past. Possibly one thats had a major time rift or something
Anyway, if they go back to kamigawa, I hope they design it right this time

YUSH!
Any thoughts on the "Hero Quest"? I'm actually excited to see more..
I wonder if there will be a new Hydra of some sort. That could be pretty awesome.
I think the one from DD: Heroes/Monsters might be from Theros...
It probably might be like a {phantom flock} only when a counter is removed, you can pay a certain amount of mana (probably 4 or more) to add two counters

+1 make every opponent do the hokey pokey
-2 make every opponent switch decks with each other and play with decks upside-down
-4 target opponent throws a cream pie at another target player (the player cannot be you)
Starting loyalty 2
So I've been google scouring for days now and haven't found this new card type or way of casting or whatever this new thing is that was mentioned around page 4 or so. Anyone know anymore or have a link for me?
Then again I could have completely fabricated that in my misinterpretation or wrong recollection...
A lot of people think that because Theros is more enchantment heavy and MaRo said they are bringing back one thing from Future Sight enchantment creatures will be returning. {Lucent Liminid} is the only enchantment creature ever printed and is in Future sight.
Aura Swap???
Aura swap would work also but they are making gods which would make more sense if they were enchantment creatures than normal creatures. Gods are supposed to be a force instead of a solid being so it would work well with them.
I think {Lucent liminid} is a possibility because its basicly Pegasus
Since it enchantment block, think we'll see return of the enchantments that actually tap for effect?
The enchantments are for turning your creatures into gods not tapping them.
He means stuff like {flow stone embrace} {second wind} and {witches mist}
I'm confused whats the point of an enchantment creature?
It works well with stuff like {Ethereal Armor}, {Sphere of Safety} and {Blightcaster}.
Oh ok thanks
They need to reprint {Parasalene}. (last block I wanted {Pyroclasm}, didn't get that. So come on, help us defend ourselves against aggro, Wizards!
Edit: don't forget curly brackets in cards names. They are I place of the E and R on the key board changes.

Oh sorry. haven't posted in a while, I completely forgot.
That's all good!
On a different note, I'd like to go out on a limb and say now that if there's a {Giant Growth}/{Giant Strength}esque card in Theros, it will have the Hercules representation hero appear in the artwork!
Jus' saying. ;)
This brings forth another question for speculation of a baseless quality.
What Colour do you think the Heroes, Monsters or Gods will appear in? Using Hercules for example, if sticking to the Mythos, I'd say he'd be in {R} due to his raw power and apparent hulk like qualities and if not straight {R}, then probably {R}{W}. But if sticking to MtG guidelines, Heroes (all of them) would most likely be {W}, due to the Order, Honour and Justice theme present in {W}.
Using 100% MtG alignment (and considering its almost purely a mono block), I would see the following if just as a basis:
Heroes: {W} (honour, peace, order and justice)
Monsters: {G} (untamed wilds, nature and growth)
Gods: {U} (manipulation, knowledge and control)
But I could see flavourful and thematic deviations all over Greek Mythology!!! What do my lovely peers think?
According to the Heroes vs Monsters, Heroes are White with a splash of red and monsters are green. There are five main gods, one for each color. The white, sun god; the black, death god, the green, hunt god and so forth.
I think in Theros it'll be RW heroes vs GB monster. I don't see where U will be with those two.
I think with hero's and monsters it will be the same as innistrad
{W}{G}{R} and {U} were good
While
{B}{G}{R} and {U} were bad
They might change the excluded color though.
And Dudecore (I think) said there will be a god in each color
Why does good and bad have to be represented by certain colors? There are gods of each color, each of the five heros shown so far is inspired by each color, there is no need to deprive certain colors of heros or monsters. Black can have heros that wish to rule and white can have monsters that abuse the principles of order and purity.
Monsters in white would belive that what they are doing is right, and fight for that
Black hero's would probably do heroic things because they want glory and to make a name for themselves. And to get things they want: money, power, sex, prestige, ect
What if we had a new Nicol Bolas ??!!
I'm mean, there's Gods in theros and Gods rule all so i could imagine Nicol Bolas going to theros slay the Gods, steal their power and proove that he is the true master of the Multiverse !!
With that said it could explain why Elspeth is back, maybe the Gods need they're help against Nicol Bolas and who knows she might even call upon Ajani to help her and if that happens i could see Nicol Bolas bring back Ajani's dead brother has a planeswalker. He would have three colors, "Black" because he's a zombie, "Red" because he's more aggressive then Ajani and he appears in the art of some red cards and, either "Blue" because he's controled by Nicol Bolas or "White" because he was good or "Green" because of where he lived (Naya)

i always associated insanity with {R}. Because red acts without thinking, and doesn't think about the consequences of its actions until after there done. While black understands the consequences, and acts in spite of them
@mizark: I thought Elspeth was white. If she is black, it could be because she's thinking more of her own needs than the needs of other people
Or maybe she's whites goals with blacks means. As opposed to Ohrzov being blacks goals with whites means

Yeah, MaRo says that the mana base it too good in standard right now, that's why they released {Burning Earth} and why there are no shock lands in M14
Will Theros have dual lands? Like have they confirmed/denied anything for it?
And ya the mana base in Standard is unreal to have Shocks and Checks is rather unfair. Like I think I've seen 1 mono colored deck.

Theros will have dual lands, but they will make it hard to use more than two colors

White Weenie, man. So fun.
Well, you did see the rare double color hate in 2014. {Fiendslayer Paladin}, {Lifebane Zombie}, {Witchstalker}, {Mindsparker}, and {Tidebinder Mage} are of each color and hating on BR, GW, UB, WU and RG. These are the allied colors on the color wheel. The hate card is the opposing color. If you combine the color of the hate and the color it hates you get the opposing tri colors. This most likely means they are trying to slow down bi and tri color stuff.
hey has anyone seen this?

Not necessarily. Ive always known the words 'onto the battlefield' to imply your own zone anyway.
e.g. {Brood Birthing}
And yep, once upon I would have cried shenanigans at plastered FAKE all over any {Elspeth Ascended} banter. But the silly cards that are getting released these days, I'm inclined to believe it, if not hope for it.
Why the hell wouldn't you just protect her every turn and turning her into an {Iridescent Angel} machine!
It's stupid and I want it.
Well if they are going to make it hard for 3 colour decks do you guys think this would be accurate
Name:
Land
T: Add WW or BB to your mana pool (activate this ability only if you control a basic plains and swamp)
Think we'll see a card based off of Archemedes? What color do you guys think he would be in? I think he would be in red
I was just kidding on the previous post. In all seriousness though, I think he is {U}{U}{G}
Wasn't he an astrologer? Astrology is observing the natural world and gaining insight from it. From astrology, we get calculus, physics, and all sorts of other wonderful sciences. Biology of course comes from observing the natural world. And from science, we gained all sorts of knowlage that put us were we are today. Blues goals, with greens means

.... I'm such a dork.. last night I had a dream they had started spoiling cards for theros.. and the three they released so far were generic vanilla monsters for green blue and white....
Im far to obsessed with spoilers...
Lol they ought to do that. Spoil the worthless cards only and make it seen like a really bad set, then have awesome cards released
Dinosaur world could make generic vanilla creatures awesome

{Imperiosaur}!!
I'd
love a dinosaur themed set... That'd be so cool
IT WAS A {NIGHTMARE} !!
Okay I believe that joke disqualifys me from posting in the future...
{marganda petroglyphs}
See. A dinosaur world card that makes creatures with no abilities awesome
Proof its dinosaur world? Look at {imperasuars} flavor text
Vanilla matters set huh? MaRo has answered questions about that before. Although Theros doesn't seem the block (because its based on mythological heroes, monsters and gods - no one wants vanilla heroes).
Maybe in the future they will have a vanilla matters block, or set. It could be Born of Gods/Journey to Nyx. Thematically the gods could be giving regular people (vanilla) super powers through enchantments. It would REALLY screw up tokens, those decks would become pretty unbearable.
Wow...selesnya should run the petroglyph. Lol
We may see cards with three classifications. If they make the Gods enchantment creatures, then they will be:
Ledgendary enchantment creatures
After some thinking here are some thoughts I have had on speculation. The new clone rule discourages cheap unflavorable kills on legendaries and emcourages using each printing of a planeswalker to it's fullest.
On the planeswalkers this allows the same walkers to be printed and revamped at both higher and low CMC reguardless of what else sees a lot of play. No more {jace beleren} legend blading {jace, the mind sculpter} situations. Meaning new Elspeth could very well be a 3cmc just as much as a 6cmc. New garruk is a good example of this new playability dispite smaller garruks seeing lots of play.
As for legends and specifically gods...think eldrazi. It takes a lot of investement to make an eldrazi happen and once you get their 4cmc {clone} should not be an end all to all your hard work. With this concept in mind I am anticipating the gods being a similar or even greater workload to play with a high rate of return in their sheer power now that cloning is not the ultimate FU.
Something similar to Anhiallator!
I actually hope the gods are drastically different from the eldrazi. Otherwise, they'll just seem like eldrazi, and be boring
The Eldrazi are not boring. I mean, very new and different, but something like the Eldrazi. Like, "when this bvfhb enters the battlefield" and studf

Due to meta anger at the time of release, I don't think we'll be seeing Annihilator or things similar until the next time Eldrazi come back if at all.

{Wrath of God}, {Merciless Eviction}, {Blind Obedience}, {Nevermore}...there are more than a few ways to deal with Eldrazi.
I've dropped {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} and still lost before. And in all reality, {Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre} and {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} get taken out pretty easily :-\
{Act of Treason} style decks (as I had around their standard day) make Eldrazi player second guess their strategy hands down.
Hey, what if we get Legendary Enchantments, Sorceries and Instants in Theros ??
I'm not sure how the legendary sorcery and instant cards would work, maybe you can only have one in a deck or something, i'm not sure or maybe they would work with a new mechanic...

A lot of work... You mean like {Lotus Petal}, {Ancient Tomb}, {Show and Tell} ---> {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} ----> win?
There's no reason I shouldn't be able to pay cmc 4 or cmc 2 even to remove this, if I happen to have that playable in my hand. Decks don't run clones main board generally and considering how non-interactive some cards are, not being able to legend them out makes them even more broken. I've said time and again: cards as powerful as {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} should never be printed.

It would be like a {Wrath of God} implemented in the card, which is quite powerful

Table flip usually cannot be Countered
Great anti Spagetti lord move
I don't know if this was mentioned but aura swap could be useful
{Arcanum Wings}
Or enchantments that you can tap
{Second Wind}

Unless your next turn you cast {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}, use his -2 and take control of {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}
@ evacide: WELL YES!! But Black first, over all :) I like rot & decay.
@ rarehuntertay: YES!!! NICOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!
I dont think we can expect them to have 10+ stats. I personally would love them to function as creatures but have echantment like qualities. {Hellrider} and {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} are good examples of what I am talking about. However in keeping with the lore of olympus style gods, their powers could be both limited and exagerated based upon what shrines (enchantments) are erected in their name.
I'm hoping they bring out some fabulous Gorgons. I've always wanted to make a Gorgon deck, as well as a Minotaur deck, but there just aren't enough decent cards to play.
I know it won't happen but...Zeus, supreme god who uses lightning...{Lightning Helix}...please?
"The gods can take multiple forms and walk among mortals."
I just took that from Thero's storyline
Does that mean that you will be able to transform your Gods ?? I mean, just imagine this:
*Opponent plays a card that destroys all creatures with flying*
*Your god has flying, you pay {1}{B}, transform him into a 2/2 human with Shadow*
*Your God doesn't get destroyed, next turn pay {2}{B}{B} re-transform him to the 9/9 Flying Deadtouch God creature*
Or this:
*You play a card that deals damage to target creature and/or player, equal to twice the number of Minotaurs you control*
*Just before you cast it, pay {1}{R}{R} transform your God to a 3/3 First Strike Minotaur*
*Deal 2 extra damage*
*Next turn pay {2}{R}{R} re-transform him to a 11/7 Flying Haste God creature
Something like that
Each god could have 3 different transformations
Maybe like {Figute of Drstiny}?
Yeah kinda like that
Except of getting better it would simply give you different options on what you can be
maybe like this
First transformation option: different creature type
Second transformation option: different card type
Third transformation option: different color or become colorless

It won't happen. MaRo has said that he has tried doing more with morph but the rules say any face down card is a normal 2/2, no exceptions. Unless they change the rule, which they could, it won't happen. Although flip cards could work this way. On the daylight side it's a bird or something and on the night side its a god. Actually there are good chances we will see flip cards again, it was just discussed in a Daily MTG article (20 Things that Almost Killed Magic) where they said despite initial outrage, it ended up the most popular mechanic of the Innistrad block.

what about two sided flip cards? Though I'm not sure how flip cards did back in kamigawa. Though kamigawa would be the perfect place for them to use that mechanic again. I'd like them to blend those two mechanics together just because it would be outrageously weird

How bout a land mechanic similar to the tainted cycle in torment? I.e, tap to add colorless, or if you control a plains, tap to add either W or U?

It should be a basic plains though bc with shocks you just have another check

I think they should do something like {Nimbus Maze}.
Nimbus maze fits thematically with theros. There was a legend about a maze...of course it was guarded by a Minotaur. But still, there was one none the less, and so that card fits Theros

there taking steps to fix it. You can see it in M14. You can see it in the fact that Theros has a small mono-colored theme. You can see it in the dual lands that they're talking about that will discourage people from playing more than two colors
They WANT people to play mono or dual color. 3 color isn't natural.

well, it's not fair that they do the shards, but not the wedges. If they don't like people playing three colors, then Alara shouldn't have been done. Don't get me wrong, I like the block, and it has a rich story. I'm just saying, they should find a way to slow things down and discourage people from playing three colors, then roller coaster back up to if. Then take the dive away from it again towards another block with a mono-colored theme

Shards were all ally colors where right now people can play anything. Also, 3, 4 and 5 color decks are running rampant because the mana base is just too good. They aren't going to just declare "you may no long play multicolored decks" but they will try to push us back towards 1 and 2 color decks. They have already started to discourage dual lands with {Encroaching Wastes} and {Burning Earth} and they have been trying to put out good cards that are less easily splashable with the enemy-color hate cycle {Fiendslayer}, {Witchstalker}... They have also lessened what mana ramp cards we have been encouraging mono colored decks with stuff like {Kalonia Tusker}, the new {Garruk, Caller of Beasts} and {Liliana of the Dark Realms}. Though in the end it won't be a huge push or else they wouldn't have included the slivers which are almost always played at 3 color (usually Naya). Finally, don't expect as many 3 and 4 color decks but don't expect them to do anything too crazy.

For the same reason they printed battle of wits.
Im not saying not to run 3 colors I think it's cool, i just don't like the metagame right now.
Oh i win cause i payed for thagtusk and voice plus my colors are way better!!!
Eack color should be evenly powered with eachother. Not oh well ifi want to win i need to run 3 colors and it has to be jund bant junk or naya which all cost about 300 dollars. Magic games should be more of a struggle to win, turn 3 win is never fun for anyone. control vs. agro is fun exept agro is so much better than control right now. Midrange vs. midrang is fun, agro vs agro is fun, that crazy guy with the {battle of wits} deck vs anything is fun. {unburial rites} on {thragtusk} is never fun, niether is turn 3 swing for 22 unblockable hexproof.
Im just saying iwant something fun not good, i'm happy about the rotationand i am confident with theros, but no dual lands until m15 or the next block would be good, maybe something that doesn't work with shock lands like lands that only work if you have a basic land that is cheaper for casual players who don't want to spend money on shocks. A slow meta is good not bad.

Ever play during Invasion block? That's when they first experimented with the wedges, though not to to extent of the shards...
Funny that you say that because I was going through my old cards the other day and realized there are quite a few gold cards in Invasion.

Yeah. Invasion was the first set to truly explore multicolored mechanics. In fact, the legendary dragons in that block I believe were all wedge colors...

I understand what you are saying but we are in a dual colored set not in shards or invasion, theros still has some gold cards for a smooth transition like {giest of saint traft} and stuff, 3 color decks are fun and good but i think that once the whole set comes out mono color will be so much better that people will use it more, 3 color will work still but it wont be as good. Which is good because that will slow down the metagame. They are trying to transition us away not giving us a 3 color block, if we were going into a 3 color block i would say they definitly would reprint some form of dual lands but we aren't so therefore it would be better to have no duals till M15 or later.

It may be better but we are getting dual lands in Theros we just don't know which ones yet.
So does anyone think that each color will have a signature creature ??
Maybe:
{R} will have Minotaurs
{B} will have Gorgons
{U} will have Merfolks
{W} will have Humans
{G} will have Centaurs
What do u think ??

its quite possible. And it would be interesting. Although I think gladiators would be in {R} and {G}. And might be something like {magus of the arena}
Think {arena} will be reprinted?
I think things like that will be re-done. Gladiators could get bonuses when fighting.
I was looking through singles today and got to Worldwake and I was thinking...what if Totem Armor is the returning mechanic. It makes sense because Greek god pretended to be (and in all of the art for Totem armor cards there is a person surrounded by an animal umbra, check it out:{Drake Umbra}). Also it works well because it is an enchantment mechanic and Theros is an Enchantment heavy set.

That would be too overpowered. {Ring of Three Wishes} works well with it though, wish for more {Maze's End}s and you can pull out 4 guildgates a turn with them.
The Esper in me is hoping there'll be a couple of Equipments too, if just a handful. It fits the mythos when considering Hercules had to get the reflective shield (which could have a reflect style mechanic) or Theseus' invisible cloak (unblockable), etc.
Edit: ... or at least I think it was Theseus... memory is hazy when waiting for work to start.

That wouldnt work. You'd be dead by then. You'd need to have 12 mana available to do that. Mazes end costs 3 and tap to put a gate into play.

I know what a chimera is. I'm just pointing out they kinda already played around in that space
Look at what was on Daily MTG today:
"Looking at Innistrad, some of the strongest cards interact with the graveyard, while most of the strongest cards in Return to Ravnica block are gold cards. Next year, many of the strongest cards will be enchantments or interact with them, because that is what the block is about. But that is a discussion for another week, very soon, when I can begin talking more about Theros and how it was put together."
Yes!!! So many people have been talking all about what heroes, gods and monsters will be like and I have been sitting here thinking "Oh great, looks like we will have to wait longer for a good enchantment set." but I guess not. Enchantments are going to be on top!!! Also it should be interesting to see what is revealed next week, me thinks that the spoilers are coming soon!
What if the rare lands in this set would be enchanted lands ?!
For exemple:
Nature's field
Enchanted land- Forest
{T} Add {G} to your mana pool
Green creatures you control have Trample
{G}{G}{T} Target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of Forests you control
Volcano Arena
Enchanted land- Mountain
{T} Add {R} to your mana pool
Red creatures you control have Haste
{R}{R}{T} Volcano Arena deals X damage to target creature or player where X is the number of Mountains you control
Etc...
You mean like the artifact lands ({Ancient Den}). Could you imagine that with {Ethereal Armor}!
Yeah like that !!

Well Theros is going to be an echantment heavy set so i think a good way to have a lot of enchantments is if they gave them Flash
Just think about it, a human gets atacked by a Minotaur suddently a God gives him an armor so he can protect himself
I think it would go well with the flavor of the set
I see {Ethereal Armor} having a future if all the hype about Theros being a enchantment heavy block is true.
Is this legit? It definitely seems to fit

If so, I want a playset.
There's now intense speculation that one of the iconic monsters in Theros will be a Mythic Sliver. Going to be interesting to see how that plays into new sliver builds.
I WANT SLIVERS!!!!!
Although, MaRo said no tribal feel except Minotaurs, but he could be lying to trick us
239/264 is the number on the bottom. The second number is equal to the number of cards in the set.
It's a fake because that number is wrong

That's unfortunate
Hall of Oaths is a sort of enchantment version of {Academy Ruins}. I don't see why it wouldn't be a possibility for that card to be real...if not for the set number thing.
Hey guys, what if each God has it's own unique enchantment ?!
Like: White God could be
Enchanted creature gets +2/+6 and gains Lifelink and Vigilance and has "Whenever a White spell is cast, you may gain 1 life

Sorry, i know it's long but.....well....it's fun making cards 😊
I actually really like that idea. They'd be legendary enchantments though, otherwise if you had a playset on the field it'd be way OP'd.
You could compliment them with Shrines to those gods, though, that are a less powerful version of those enchantments.
I am thinking maybe the gods will be enchantment creatures, if you look at the spoiler art for Theros the god's body is half sunken into the earth and he looks almost ethereal.
I think Gods are going to be summoned into the command zone. For awhile they were experimenting with the Vanguard format, it didnt work out. I've a feeling that they'll have alternate casting costs (tied to a series of enchantments or something), then be summoned into the command zone. Once they're in the command zone, they'll likely act like vanguard cards and be able to interact with things on the battlefield, change your hand size, adjust your life total, ect.
Vanguard cards??
Vanguard's another card game floating around.

http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/productarticle.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/vanguard/productinfo
The format is no longer supported by Wizards. But the Vanguard cards START in the command zone. However the Gods would have to be added to the command zone after, from there they can do vanguard-y things.
Squee and Tawnos are the best!!
I think it'll be like, you can only cast this good if you have x y enchantments. Y is the color
What if the alternate cost is you can cast them for free if you control so many of this color permanent.
Like a 6 CMC green creature that you can cast for free if you control 5 or 7 green permanents or something like that. Sorta like the {force of will} mechanic tweaked for the small mono-colored theme

So is monstrosity a new mechanic?
Polukranus ?! That's a cool ass name !!
Looks like green aggro ramp got a new toy
With can I name 0 creatures? If I don't want to fight?
Dat boros
How would you clear all the +1/+1 counters off of him?
{give // take} seems good
I hope those aren't the mechanics they yaked about, those are so boring.
Hopefully a mechanic that's like what the card {Beserk}?

😳Really?
Nvm it can only be cast after but still my deck gets very op from it
I mean, like,
{2}, discard a card: this creature gets +{X}\+{0} until end of turn. At the end of combat, sacrafice this creature if it attacked this turn.
Still I bloodrush a lot and can make some petty big creatures so for 2 mana to be able to just double the power with trample ... yes please
Ooh ooh! They just released the 20 basic lands !
Well we've seen the Monster mechanic "Monstrosity" and Hero mechanic "Heroic".
Refresher-
Monstrosity — {X}{X}{G}: Put X +1/+1 counters on Polukranos. Then, Polukranos deals damage equal to the number of counters put onto Polukranos this way divided as you choose among any number of target creatures. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to Polukranos. Activate this ability only if there are no counters on Polukranos.
(Presumably the casting cost changes and perhaps what the spell does? The active only once is probably the same for cards with "Monstrosity")
Heroic — Whenever [CARD NAME] becomes the target of a spell you control, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain trample until end of turn.
(The effect likely changes for each card. But the trigger is the same for all cards with "Heroic")

The mythic hydra is pretty garbage. A 5/5 for 4 with a fringe-playable ability that will almost never make an impact? Sounds a little familiar...*cough*{Deadbridge Goliath}.
The boros legend on the other hand, looks very good to me. a 3 power first striker for 3 is already solid material. Add vigilance and a sicknasty ability? Psshh I think this one will see play.

This I agree with. The hydra ability is like a mini fight, but he only does damage equal to the counters put on him. Where he takes full damage in return. Useful to clear mana dorks (if any more are reprinted) and that's about it. The double x is what kills it. We can bet on the hero getting {Dynacharge} and swinging for 6 by himself.
I wish the hydra was better...
the boros warrior is amazing just because he is a 3/2 first strike with vigilance. then his ability makes everything better... i mean, those spells include enchantments in the enchantment based block.
SCARY
I am positive that Elspeth will appear once again as W. She may be multicolored with something other then W but Theros appears to be mostly mono-colored so I doubt it. As for the other Planeswalkers I speculate that Dack Fayden will be one of them. I assume he will be U, but it's me being baseless. The third Planeswalker hopefully will be multi-colored with W G since this combination has not been done before with Planeswalkers.

Do you think red will get some fliers? The red God/ess (not sure which it is) Nyx, is god of the night sky...than again, I'm not sure if there would be many...unless the were paired with white

Hey guys, would it be awesome if we get a creature based on Typhon ??!!
If you don't know who Typhon is, Typhon is one of the most powerful Greek mythology creature. Together with Echidna, it gave birth to many of the monsters in Greek mythology including Chimera, Cerberus, Sphinx etc...
Typhon is said to be really huge. Its upper body is human like and is said to be taller than a mountain. His bottom half comprised of large vipers that can reach far out in any directions.
In the battle between Gaia and Zeus, Typhon was sent by Gaia as the last resort to destroy the Gods. In the first battle with Zeus, Typhon actually won by capturing Zeus' sinews. Fortunately, the god of speed recovered the sinews. In the second battle, Zeus managed to defeat Typhon and sealed him under Mount Etna.
(I love Greek mythology !! 😊)
Of course this creature would be mythic and super powerful !!
1. That's sick!
2. Bottom half like vipers sound like {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} to me lol

"Oh, that's a nice beefy Hydra you got there. Lets add this to it."
We're going to have Satyrs, i knew it !! 😝
Think that there might be a return of cards like {Draco} where it costs less if you have basics. This could reduce the 3-coloured decks if there are enough good ones of these
Link please?
Dat boros humans!
Did anyone notice the symbol for Theros changed on the cards?
Did you notice that might be because the cards are from the duel decks?
I wonder if wizards leaked two separate versions of the hydra to hide the real one
Doubtful now that they've already had the duel decks preview.
There redoing the mechanic lands? Yet another reinforcer to my theory about the block after Theros being Dominiria, those are Dominiria locations

I don't think they are redoing them. There are only 6 cards in the duel decks that are being printed in Theros. They also spoiled the duel decks and the six are: {Polukranos, World Eater}, {Anax and Cymede}, {Cavalry Pegasus}, {Ordeal of Purphoros}, {Satyr Hedonist} and {Destructive Revelry}

That could destroy in an Innistrad style human deck. Could you imagine an staring at army of humans and then all the sudden it hits the field along with a {Lightning Mauler}. That's when your opponent scoops.

Just check the database and input Titan

{Frost Titan} is the worst, and {Inferno Titan} has won many games for me, so he isn't bad.
But incomparison he is 4th on the list.
Primeval Titan was the .poo.. But for edh reasons there is a high chance of no reprint. But I can hope

maybe they could make titans were you have to sacrifice a number of enchantments were the total cost of the enchantments sacrificed is equal to or greater than there casting cost as an additional cost to cast them?
I doubt they'll bring the titans back simply because I don't see a standard reprint of {Primeval Titan} and its hard to believe they'd reprint the others and then change primeval. I could see them doing a variation of the titans tho bc let's face it...it fits. I just think they will all be new rather than reprints.
Maybe with the world eater the point is to beef him up, rather than use his ability. That the damage it deals is more of a drawback than what it does. I mean, a 5/5 for 4? And than you pay 3 more, and its a 6/6 for 7. And not to mention they try to make support cards for mechanics (whether hidden or out in the open) not to mention the sleuth of infinite mana combos to abuse him. I would say he's playable, but you would have to build a deck around it, rather than build it around the deck
I kind of like Monstrosity, its not great but it is easily used as a combat trick or something you can do it evade a kill spell. Oh Murder, how about instead I pay 3 and wreck a creature or two of your's. Or you attack with Polukranos and someone blocks it with like a {Hover Barrier} you go, screw you, throw some mana into Polukranos, kill the {Hover Barrier} and wreck some creatures in the meantime. It's also pretty nice to take out annoying mana dorks or other smaller creatures like a young {Scavenging Ooze} or a {Deathrite Shaman}.
Also remember, you deal X damage divided as you choose to any number of creatures your opponents control and they deal damage to it, so if you choose wisely you don't have to kill him. If you wanted to you could pay 3 and destroy 5 1/1s and still have it survive.
Wait...I can definitely see a deck that he is absolutely boss in...simic!

I'm not irritated. It happens, I don't read every post on each thread either.
I thought primordials were supposed to be the new titans? First we want a new jace when we just got one, now titans lol... We are a greedy bunch.
I'm pretty sure your going to see more about gods than titans its mythology themed not based.
I know right I <3 titans omgroflmaobbq
But the mechanic wasn't that long ago. Honestly I'm ready for all fresh all new (I know some stuff is returning but what I gathered from their allusion is that it really didn't get played)
Although whoever said sacing enchantments to summon "titans" would be the mechanic I could see that. Replace titan with god though.
And im going to take it a step further and say it may be an aura that you need to sac.
Like white god is sac a aura attached to a "hero" and green god is sac a aura attached to a "monstrosity"
Etc

Oh for sure, this makes sense to me for sure.
Without posting it, I've been thinking for a couple of days now something like:
<Blue God Name> {6}{U}{U}
Something something about a general blue effect, like tap creatures, or mill, or something...
<God Mechanic Name> - When <Blue God Name> comes into play, sacrifice any amount of auras attached to blue creature you control (or unnattach them and attach them to <Blue God Name>). It cost {1} less to cast for every aura sacrificed this way.
?/?
I was thinking you need to sac enchantments whose total casting cost equal the gods cost, but that would work too I think
Affinity for enchantments (auras not as bad) would be dumb..... lol
Herp derp {ethereal armor} {detention sphere} {unflinching courage} {blind obedience}
Well Theros could have a God cycle, Born of the Gods could have a Titan cycle (Gods would create Titans to defend each realm) and Journey into Nyx would have a Underworld cycle (These would be enchantments that affect the game, like the "enchant world" cards)
Although i don't think that's gonna happen

It was okay. It talked out the gods (names, background, powers...).
Signature item: Purphoros wields Akmon, a large hammer whose head slightly resembles an anvil. A blow from Akmon can render the earth molten, and when it strikes metal, each spark becomes a new enchantment, some of which even take on life.
😳
I wonder if the gods grant token enchantments.

My first though was that plus {Sunblast Angel} plus {Alchemist's refuge}
^ or {savage summoning}
I dunno. Maybe not standard. Leaving them open to draw potential + damage ain't bad tho
I honestly think saving mechanics whoes total casting cost equal the casting cost of the creature would work better than it costing 1 less for each one saced. And it wouldn't be broken either
The art is freaking awesome so far
I think the environment is aggressive enough were {force of will} should make a comeback. They say Theros is for new players? Lets hope the appeal towards experienced players after that
I have an idea. Let us all e-mail Mark Rosewater maturely. Asking why all of the aggro recently, and when control will be a popular thing again. The mature e-mail is much better than the few page long rant.

I like that artifact enchantment. Why might you ask?
Turbofog. Think about it.
Play {Goblin Diplomats}, then {elite archivist} with {Fog}. Keep spamming that out while you form a team of hitters. Then play that when mana is sufficient. Hit for a bit with quite a number of creatures. Draw even more attackers.
I like this in commander, seems a bit slow for standard, and especially modern. But remember, it's Turbo Fog. It is supposed to be slow.
What are tools red and blue have against that world eater hydra thing?
I can see it giving my flying deck trouble...
Anyone read the new article? Trojan horse all but confirmed, sick sounding creatures, and a card that could have been in modern masters ({thoughtsieze}?)and I'm starting to become sure when I say the new-old ability will be chroma, just reworked and worded as say, devotion.
Just so you don't have to look yourselves-
A 3/3 with three abilities that uses fate counters
Multiple cards with the word "nongorgon"
A high-profile cycle of legendary permanents that are not creatures or lands
A rare card with five words of rules text in which one of the words is "planeswalker"
An artifact creature that appears to be a big horse made out of wood
A 5/5 giant snake that can be cast for (G)(G)
A multicolor Minotaur lord
A card that could have been in Modern Masters
A giant that brings fire to humans
A creature with a saboteur ability (it has an effect if the creature deals combat damage to an opponent) which is one of the Power Nine
Here are a few names of cards you will see:
Anger of the Gods
Chained to the Rocks
Lost in a Labyrinth
Rescue from the Underworld
Underworld Cereberus
Witch's Eye
Finally, here are some of the creatures you're going to see (note that not all of these are creature types and is only a partial list):
Catoblepas
Chimera
Cyclops
Harpy
Hippocamp
Hundred-Handed One
Kraken
Nymph (Alseid, Dryad, Lampad, Naiad, and Oread)
Pegasus
Satyr
Siren
Triton
Wait, no Centaurs and Manticores ?? 😕
Ih well, Chimera FTW !! 😄

Holy crap. Sometimes, I just don't even bother with MtG Daily columns/articles. Not because they're bad but because they're so damn good and rife with juicy info!
They're like the good and positive version of Google Doctor where you type in "head ache and compacted left ear" and four link clicks and an hour later: "You have early onset blood cancer of the brain in the fourth trimester." I start reading a column (a Rosewater one ordinarily) and an hour later I haven't finished the initial article about the current set because somehow I'm in a post from years ago about why planeswalkers did blah blah blah.
Ugh, too much cool stuff to read, not enough free time!
the hippocamp must have an excellent memory. i bet it remembers every single detail of every moment of it's life :P

Yes he means the power 9. The creature will produce the effect when it deals damage to a player. Likely {timetwister} though could be {time walk}.

I could see some like this. When CARDNAME deals combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice CARDNAME. If you do, take an additional turn after this one.
{Timetwister} and {Timewalk} have been reprinted at different power levels, with much greater mana costs and things. I could see either one being reprinted as a super tough to achieve ability.
As far as Modern Masters cards that missed: {Damnation} and {Thoughtseize} missed the cut. I could see either one (or both) hitting this set.

Hmmm, a 5/5 for {G}{G}. I like.
You know there has to be a drawback. "Can't attack unless enchanted", "Sacrifice a creature when CARDNAME enters the battlefield", "CARDNAME can't be cast unless you control X enchantments" or some kind of Chroma rehash.
For a Chroma reference that people are hypothesising about look at {Umbra Stalker}.
Chroma it is. Check out the black creature. Now called devotion.

Boom called that one :)
Oh, there's a new board for the "Enchantment creature" cards !! 😀
This set just feels so Epic !!
So when the bestowed creature dies do I get the enchantment creaturestill or is it gone too? Just wondering
I believe the way it's made out to be, is when you cast it for it's enchantment cost, and whatever you've enchanted dies, it returns to the field as an enchantment creature. Seems really cool actually.

I guess if you play it for it's normal cmc you get the creature but if you play it for it's bestow cost you get to enchant a creature, once the enchanted creature dies the bestowed creature stops beeing an Aura and becomes a creature
Hmm I don't think it leaves the field, so no bs about ETB shenanigans I believe

Yeah there are usually one or two cards that are used ({Krenko, Mod Boss}) but generally 60-80% of cards on the front of intro packs almost never see play in competitive standard.

Why does blue get such bad creatures? (Ex: {Ætherling}) That blue kraken thing is junk.
Quote from: Dudecore on August 27, 2013, 10:15:55 AM
Why does blue get such bad creatures? (Ex: {Ætherling}) That blue kraken thing is junk.
three words: blue before mirridon
All I see are enchantments that have to do with creatures. So disapointing. I hoped that by enchantment block, it meant global enchantments. Ones that affect the game. Not creatures in the game. When I think of the phrase "let's build an enchantment deck", I think of a deck with almost no creatures (maybe {Academy Rector} or such). However if the trend keeps going, a real enchantment deck will be impossible because the enchantments they are printing are only good when combined with creatures.
On a happier note, here's something positive about theros, so far that I see. I am glad that they seems to be printing balanced cards, that slow the game down. The RTR block has been simply a whirlwind of power and well...perfect manabases, to say the least. When my life wasn't so busy (like 2 months or so ago), I used to run a 4 color deck (all but red) that was decent enough to satisfy the spike inside of me. It ran all 4 colors almost equally, green being the least needed, but still quie a few green cards.
4 color decks like that should not be viable in my opinion. It wasn't broken or anything. I went 3-2 withthe occasional 4-1. But I don't like it when it's possible to just toss all the good cards you see in a deck and just play it. All the lands might as well be rainbow.
And the color possibilities were just half the issues. The power level of decks is over the top. I want wizards to gradually print weaker and weaker cards, so we can get to the point where deck building requires more skill.
So that being said, I think wizards is going in the right direction, like with the "new" devotion keyword. It rewards players for well, devoting! I can see myself playing the new BBB enchantment and the new demon that makes 1/1 harpies upon etb. Oh, the synergy!
I'm loving the Enchantment Creature type. Just one more card to fortify my Pillow Fort.
I think if we see very powerful devotion cards we may see mono colored decks again, which I hope for because shocks are expensive
The great thing about Bestow is that in many Pillow Fort decks you end up with enchantments but not creatures. Now you have both.

See my comment on Thassa, but also...Aetherling is amazing. I actually hate playing it because I think it's kinda unfair and OP (but I do still play it anyway, I have no scruples).
LOL with the exception of MacBeth I have never seen or heard the word "Scruples".

Agreed. Spoiler threads really need to stay on topic, many users check just for new info. Same goes for te price thread.

It would be funny to see him reprinted... Actually would fit the flavor... Since crows were messenger birds of the gods...
You know what would be cool? An artifact block and a enchantment block right next to each other. Though they probably won't do that

There's big difference, namely the order! One you must draw first, the other you draw after the reordering of top cards. Preordain is my choice.
You know why control is dead in modern.
{Preordain}, {Ponder}
Two amazing cards that are banned because they thought control is to powerful. I think it is time to bring them back. Along with JtMS (I wish)...
{obzedat's aid} with bestow??
According to MTGSalvation, {Thoughtseize} is back!
Also: Green Legendary Artifact and Azorius Legendary Sphinx!

Wait... YES!!!!!!
Why is {Thoughtseize} still a rare according to salvation???
20 and 30 respectively
Check out {Reverent Hunter} and {Gift of Immortality}! More devotion and an amazing enchantment!!! http://www.mtgsalvation.com/theros-spoiler.html#7631
Do you guys think mono-green control will still be possible with {Yeva, natures herald} rotating out?
Quote from: Taysby on August 30, 2013, 10:27:53 PM
Gift of immortality. WTF WIZARDS!!! Share the love with green!
And it's possible that Thoughtseize will go up, because that card in standard... W.T.F!
green has gotten a lot of good stuff lately anyway
Wow. It's symbiotic with detain
That green devotion is sick
Devotion is pretty great and it was GENIUS to make it now that they are trying to go back towards mono color. {Kalonia Tusker} is going to get A LOT of play if green gets any more devotion.
Edit: I had an idea, was going through list of known info on MTGSalvation and it says "Humans make small offerings and tributes daily" which makes me think sacrificing decks might get some play...
Mono-colors matter, enchantments and a small tribal thing. Looking like some fun so far. {Thoughtseize} was a nice touch, haven't seen much of anything I like from blue - but it's still early!
If only Reverent Hunter had Reach to stay in the flavor of him being an Archer, oh well, still awesome anyway
I also like what they did with Medomai so that he can't attack in extra turns, so that there's no infinite loop or anything like that

Good call, if the Green God is remotely playable Tusker will easily shoot up. It could easily hit $2-3. I went ahead and bought a bunch cheap!

Use it with {Biovisionary} and you could get two wins at once. :P (at least I think his ability is a triggered, its worded weird)

Could you do that to win 2-0 after just one game? I see a deck... Mwah ha ha...
That was my reasoning on the use of it, but sadly no
Check it out...two new cards in Theros: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/theros-spoiler.html
{Akroan Crusader} looks sick! An awesome combo with {Young Pyromancer} and works well with {Precinct Captain} too!
{Thoughtseize} at Rare puts it around {Mutavault} prices. {Snapcaster} was one of the rare "all format" staple card - that barely went over $20.
I think thoughtsieze won't go below 25. Regardless of its role in standard, the fact remains that it is a 60 dollar multi-eternal format card, which already existed. Snapcaster is similar, but it didn't have a past. It didn't already exist at a price. Mutavault is similar; it was a reprint, yet existed on a lesser plane than thoughtsieze, pricewise. Thoughtsieze won't shed two thirds of its price because of a reprint. Just look at the shocks. They were reprinted in vast quantities, in three different sets! Yet they didn't shed two thirds of their price. Just a little more than half.
I love that land... It really helps the monstrous mechanic, AND it pushes mono colored decks. Green got their ramp land so... {Elvish Mystic} has a friend.
Oh I play forest, {Elvish Mystic}
Then another forest and 3 more mystics.
Then you put in that land, and BOOM you have 8 {G} mana floating on turn 3...
I can't think of a $25 rare in the NWO-era. Shocks nearly shed 2/3rds of their price. Some where going for $30-$40 before reprints, to as low as $7-$10. This is the wrong thread for this, but Wizards prints SOOOOO much more then they used to, prices are bound to fall.
{Mutavault} was also nearl $30-$40, lost more then half it's value in reprints.

Wizards wants to punish blue for something that happened 3 years ago. By slowly bleeding all of the cool things it does to other colors, removing functional counterspells and giving them gigantic creatures with barely any good abilities (save for {Ætherling})
Luckily I don't have to deal with any of it in EDH.
I like elspeth
Thoughts on elspeth? I was hoping for better but I do like her first two abilities...the last...eh
Is there a flying subtheme in Theros like they did in M14??? Could be the reason for her last ability.
Something about fatty board wipe is really funny. At first anyway, I read what dudecore said about blue and I see all these blue fatties. Even more punishment.
Blue needs to bounce back sometime soon, with all the bleeding of cool blue stuff lately, they better give them a transfusion of controlling awesomeness soon...

I don't know how many 6+ mana 4/4 - 6/6s at rare/mythic I can take. 88% of them are unplayable. Blue just stinks so far, and with the exception of {Delver of Secrets}, what was the last truly good blue card? Green, Red, Black have had 5 or 6 since then.
Elspeth is meh, at least a lot worse than I expected her to be. Though I LOVE {Read the Bones}, NEED {Nykthos, Shrine of Nyx} and wouldn't mind having some {Underworld Cerberus}s.

ONLY 88%?!? I thought that would be a higher percentage. We had {Snapcaster Mage} though. So far the only tolerable blue card is either {Turn the Tides} (If it says return nonland permanent, if not, I don't like it} and Thassa. I tolerate it due to the fact that it at least HAS a blue ability of scry 1 each upkeep, other then that, I dunno.
I hate all these "attack me and see what happens AFTERWARDS" abilities. The Azouris sphynx had it, and we hate him. Teysa has it, and she isn't getting played. (many reasons for that but still), I hate these...
I will play a mono green Monstrosity deck due to the legendary land, or a mono black control. Two cards for the second reasoning, find them (it won't be that hard...)

No spoiler yet, but most of the places I've read hypothesise that Caryatids could be a 5 colour cycle, one in each colour. But still, no actual spoiler, yet many speculations. It is definite that it'll be a Defender considering what the actual meaning of a caryatid is (a statue/effigy pillar or column I tribute to a female god from Ancient Greece).
I love nylea...
*GASP* reanimator will still be playable!
We have {dread return} for keeping stuff, {obzedat's aid} for the main reanimator + enchantments, and {rescue from the underworld} AT INSTANT SPEED for some pretty good reanimating.. {Mortus strider} may actually have a use. I will gladly play it if it means reanimate a fatty.

I don't understand why Thassa is much more than nylea.... I think nylea is a game ender but Thassa just let's you scry and make things unblockable. And blue don't have big scary creatures for that ability. I wouldn't mind playing a blue green deck in theros because both of those have pretty good synergy

Referring back to what dudecore said, blue is getting all these big creatures. Have you ever scryed each turn before you draw, it is good. Putting that on a 5/5 body is pretty good. Giving that 5/5 industructability is great. And then it has ANOTHER ability.
It isn't blue style cool I like, but I can't help but say he is amazing. Nylia however is a 6/6 industructable for more then Thassa, and although she give your creatures trample, her other ability is bad. Maybe with that land it becomes spammable, but it is over costed to dumb it down. Besides, how many big creatures are you gonna have that will benefit from trample in that early game.
I love her bow because, imagine a world where you tokens get deathtouch... Selesniya got scarier just now didn't it. :)

I dunno... I think Thassa does it better.

Now we can get rid of that pesky Tajic. ;)
EVERYTHING in Theros seems OP... Just about... Maybe I'll get a box.

Just to save people back tracking pages to find the link, can we remember to post a link to any new cards we mention.
So I'm looking at the card {gift of immortality}. Want to make sure I've got this right for removal purposes.
"When enchanted creature dies, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control. Return Gift of Immortality to the battlefield attached to that creature at the beginning of the next end step."
So say in combat creature dies goes to graveyard w/ enchantment. End of combat/damage phase, creature returns to battlefield. Then 2nd main phase. Creature could then be targeted with a removal spell, and go into graveyard. And then @ end step gift of immortality has no valid target and fizzles out.
Am I correct on this from card text?
Was {witches eye} inspired by the fates?
Does anyone think {Tidebinder Mage} will see more play with thassa and this new devotion stuff ?
{Thoughtseize} {underworld cerberus} {magma jet} and even {omenspeaker to replace {auger of bolas}!!! My grixis ks going to pown post rotation, now i only wizards would replace {think twice} for the control people who cant run {azorius charm}...
I just realized...{trait doctring} really screws with devotion. I'm thinking it will soon see play

Slightly, only if you were to target a permanent with Devotion and change it to a color a deck isn't running. Ex. Target Heliod and say it has Devotion to black. I think the best application would be against that crazy Nykthos, Shrine of Nyx. It could shut down that land.

Initially it will reorder for about 15, then shoot up to about 25-30 because of hype and people wanting to play with it, then after a month or so it will most likely settle at around 20. That's my guess.

Yeah, that's what I estimate although magic is weird. I have a question about whether it will see any eternal play, I am going to go the Price thread though.

Yeah, at least it slightly slows down the game.
Except for green. Anybody seen the {G}{3} creature that says, {T}: add any amount of {G} mana up to the amount of devotion you have to {G}...
A few things...
{Omnath, Locus of Mana} doesn't need to have more speed, and power in EDH. It is an already targeted card in EDH, we don't need to pinpoint him.
And standard will consist of boros hyper aggro, heavy ramp green monstrosity, maybe BU control, and Izzet aggro, due to that new card that says each time you scry, this card gains +2/+0...
Green is definitely looking strong and I have no doubts it will benefit from Devotion the most.
I dont care to because im too buisy bashing face with {thoughtseize} in my grixis along with new Auger of bolas and a ton of scry spells to make control awesome.

This is worse than buddy lands, and they said that they don't want multicolor to be too op so tjis could happen.
I think journey to Nyx is all enchantment creatures, because MaRo said in his article, that's where enchantment creatures come from
Devotion lands would suck for control decks, theyve already made agro op why not give us fixing too!!!

Idk about storylines. But I'm just thinking why would they have 2 monowhite PWs unless they have 2 PWs of every colour which would be a tad too much lol

So true lol or at least bring back some older PWs (idk storywise) but I'd like to see another Tezzeret or Tibalt or really any PW with 1 form. I'm not sick of Jaces and Ajani's but Id like them to create some fresher ones. Like when standard has more than one of a PW Name like JMA and JAoT you know it's time to introduce a different PW
In hi article today. MaRo said he wanted to do a different set besides Theros, yet it was shot down because they "didn't have enough resources."
Given that MaRo is trying to fit Barry's land into the game...I think he was trying to introduce a new color...
What do you guys think about a new color?

Interesting but only if it didn't last more than one block.
I heard rumors about a color yellow that took elements from red and blue and used cities as lands back around time spiral. I'm guessing fight was the element from red they were taking...also, MaRo did shift around the color pie. Possibly making room for a new color?
Maybe ajani in in journey into nyx but he is definitly on the plane of theros or else they wouldnt have him in the picture

Ever since about '98 there has been rumblings of Purple and MaRo has spoken on it a few times on his Tumblr page and in his column (tooooooo long ago to find links). I remember him distinctly saying that no matter what Colour he'd like to integrate, there's none that could solidly identify themselves separately from the existing five.

Yeah but can't you see another Future Sight or Un-set including some weird new color or at least some color variations. Speaking of Future Sight, I would LOVE another version of it. I might buy a case if that happened.
I was just on Blogatog and saw that Monstrous is meant to be an overlapping mechanic from the RTR Block, because of Evolve and Scavenge. Another interesting point was brought up on Blogatog, the Gods could be commanders even though they aren't always creatures. It was also hinted that Mono-black might be a legitimate deck type again!

Well its just clever flavour and non OP card mechanics due to the concept of when this guy appears by your side on the battle field, he turns the tidal wave he arrived on into an entourage of angry little 2/1s, of which can be enchanted just like any other creature to become bigger and angrier.He hangs back and let's his water sprites do the dirty work but the moment he dies, the magic keeping his sprites alive die with him (unless enchanted by someone's magic).
In my opinion, he's a stroke of flavour genius. He may seem meh with all those permanent token gens out there, but in terms of flavour and not being OP, this guy deserves mythic in my opinion.
I will just laugh when someone throws out {Master Biomancer} turn three, then Master Waves....

are you insane? Damage in blue is unheard of
My ping deck is straight forward. Blue for counterspells and things like {electrolyze} and {gelectrode}. Red for the rest of the pingers and burn dmg. I wouldn't need a blue pinger. I don't even use prodigal and staticaster bc they are unneeded. The blue pinger is exactly the same as prodigal pyromancer and neither make the cut. Cunning makes the cut bc of haste.

three
How come nobody has pointed out that {Night Howler} is OP, us a Green/Black with {Commune the Gods} and some other stuff from RTR to get things in the library. Also this is like the first realistic Bestow cost. Plus it works great with the Bow, giving everything Deathtouch.
How do people feel about the Pandemonium? Seems it would work well for a Garruk Big Creature deck and really suck for a control deck (because Snappy is gone!). I might sideboard it.
Nighthowl is an interesting card.
It was Planar Chaos, and the color Purple. Between blue and Black.

You can not look at face down cards unless it says so, but I will double check before the card is playable.
{T}: Each player exiles the top card of his or her library face down.
{7}, {T}, Sacrifice Pyxis of Pandemonium: Each player turns face up all cards he or she owns exiled with Pyxis of Pandemonium, then puts all permanent cards among them onto the battlefield.
You can't look but can still include lots of cards with ETB abilities to increase your chances like {Sylvan Primordial}

Also, I don't like how the art is so close up on the creature or whatever and doesn't show the environment like how the Ravnica art showed the beautiful landscapes in the backgrounds of the art.

{7}, {T}, Sacrifice Pyxis of Pandemonium: Each player turns face up all cards he or she owns exiled with Pyxis of Pandemonium, then puts all permanent cards among them onto the battlefield.
You can't look but can still include lots of cards with ETB abilities to increase your chances like {Sylvan Primordial}
scry. Also other things that put stuff ontop like {brain storm}...dang. {brainstorm} is very Johnny
M class is full of Greek mythology nerds who also play magic (including me), what can I say?

That is actually a very good point! However, just playing Devil's Advocate (as I like to do regularly as a mod to spur on conversation), we have only seen a handful of cards thus far and the plane of Ravnica's aesthetic IS the landscape (or lack there of, as it were). I think Theros' aesthetic is the magic of te land created by the religious faith of it's inhabitants, or Devotion. So looking at it from that perspective, it makes sense we have a close focal point in the artwork.
BUT I do want to see more landscape still! See MtG's take on the Mediterranean terrain and architecture.

im getting most excited about this card now. I must be a Johnny, lol
I really want more spoilers so I can figure out what kind of deck I want to run!!! Right now I am stuck between {G}{U}{B} or {B}{G} graveyard stuff and {W}{U}{R}, {W}{U} or {W}{R} midrange. It all depends on the dual lands and what comes out in the new colors.
Quote from: Taysby on September 04, 2013, 12:03:37 AM
Yah, right when I was decided on mono green for the next while, {Thoughtseize} was spoiled and I wanted to run something controlish. Then some good red stuff was spoiled and I really considered running red. Then daxos and that sphinx were spoiled and I wanted to run blue white. Grah!!! What to run!?!?!?
5 colour aggro, midrange, and control DUH!! Isn't that what everyone is doing?
I am playing esper post rotation but blue white should be good. As for Daxis(however it's spelled) is only good when attacking so I feel it's gotta be a conservative play because his affect is great but if he's not attacking it's only a 2/2 for 3. As for elsbeth I think she'll receive less credit then she deserves and it will take time to get people to warm up to her. I haven't liked most of the gods but I feel Sam black will come up with some funky combo with our purphoros. I fell like 4/5 color fun stuff could be a deck that comes out of this set.
As a Gruul player I love it but WotC just printed {Domri Rade} and now we get another PW?!! Like I'm thrilled but idk don't you think that it should have been different colour combinations to overtake Theros? Like maybe BR as like a dark evil trying to Rule the plane.
Or am I crazy? (Which is very possible)
XENAGOS IS DUMB
Is Xenagos, the Reveler OP or what?! http://www.mtgsalvation.com/theros-spoiler.html
I think now I am going to run a G/R Fatties deck

Say hello to Domri's new BFF.
Gruul, i hate you. This guy, with the ramp land, will definitely give monsters a chance in a midrange battle. I think we will see longer duels with this set, and i hope so too!
Play a bunch of 1 drops like {Legion Loyalist} {Elvish Mystic} etc and then BOOM crazy amount of mana from his +1!!
R/G Midrange FTW

Lots of aggro out now
2 RG Planeswalkers is pretty wack. Jund is still going to be a thing.
Flavor wise that totally misses also.
Satyr's are Red/Green ✔
They make fast mana❌
They make tokens❌
They help you cast creatures❌
They are mischievous, or at very least vague about what they want. D- on flavor, D- on having 2 RG walkers in Standard, and A+ for Commander players getting their third RG walker.

Hear hear!
Im going to have to dissagree with DC on the flavor principle with Xenagos. The 2CMC satyr and the flavor text on the RG {naturalize}+{shock} defined Theros satyr as communial and mana flaring ({infernal plunge} type effect) creatures. It's only natural they have someone who excels at combining these traits, also should one awaken the spark in any race they always develope a more refined version of their race's traits.

Why are Satyr's making mana? I don't understand the flavor. They're carefree (red) and adapt to nature at all costs (green) but what is the idea of then creating rituals?
I get Cerebus - that was a flavor homerun and some of the best I can remember in a long time. Master of Tides I understand - that was another fantastic one.

The mana for this plane seems more based in ispiration than other planes. The satyr could stoke the mana itself with their carefree nature and cause it to flare up and grow almost in celebration with them. Their joyous effects are not restricted to sentient beings.

Satyrs, by playing their Pan pipes during celebrations, can cause things to grow. So this growth can translate into mana, which fits the flavor...

Mmm, dat .poo. ultimate. Seriously, that's a "first two abilities only" PW IMO. Not too bad though. Not as broken as the {R}{G} one, though. Since, you know, those colors need more power in standard right now 😒
Ya the ultimate is meh. BUT the 1st two are great. It's like Nephalia DY In a PW but then again PWs are quite easy to deal with. But still the -X ability can be great especially if you can keep him alive for long enough. You can steal there big threat and just punish those pesky Aggro players.
That being said I know it's only 1BU but vs. aggro don't control players want something to protect them like mana open for {Doom Blade} or something? But idk I've never really played control
HAH!! Erebos is DUMB
I like his speculation on a certain counterspell that shall become better...
{Essence Scatter} anybody. Without that {cavern of souls} bothering us anymore, this could help. Speaking of counterspells, did anyone see the blue one that only counters blue spells. I lol'd because of its stupidity.
Also, his deck confused me slightly. Ashnod's (Whatever her name is) effect states cards exiled with her can be used for her second ability. But his deck was full of other cards that exiled his stuff. hmm...
anyway, it goes in my {Mimeoplasm} EDH anyway.
I wonder if I should preorder the new Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver now at $25, or risk it going up. I don't think it's amazing, but I don't want it to skyrocket like {Liliana of the Veil}

(http://mythicspoiler.com/ths/cards/ashioknightmareweaver.jpg)
Its a 3 mana plains walker with no real downsides other than no protecting itself. The fact it goes straight to 5 is great, and then keeps a decent amount of control over the opponent's resources. It's not like Liliana's sacrifice, but you have other cards for that. My guess is it will fit quite well with those Dimir or Grixis control decks giving you the power cards from your opponents deck when you need them or just straight out denying them.
I'd say get your playset before they go up. The amount of early control and power you have from this card will be amazing.

Nope, it's a new card. Same way reanimating a creature with a cipher on it won't come back with the cipher.
What spikepit said. For a ruling on a card with a similar effect see the rulings on {nightveil spectre}
Set...y u so gud...
One thing I like about this set is control is getting just as much love as aggro
Y no scry with bonfire
I'm going to miss {bruna, light of alabaster}
This set seems to have a lot of options for various builds.
This set has something for everyone while still adding new wrinkles to the game. I like that it appears super collectible.

I LOVE the new walker, he ruins scrying, destroys hands and graveyards and can help you cast their stuff but there is nothing else {U}{B} spoiled yet so I don't know...If the lands are good enough for three color I wouldn't mind an Esper control but Wizards hates us so they are not spoiling them!!!
I don't understand. Why don't they just reprint {Searing Spear}?

I guess, but now I need a playset of lightning str.... OHHHH NOW I SEE lol
Yeah, I'm getting a play set for my mono red burn casual deck. Now with 3 vexing devils, 3 guttersnipes, 4 lightning bolts, 4 searing spears, and four lightning strikes, among other things.
Don't forget {Burning Earth}!!
It is often that core set cards recieve functional reprints in blocks. This often helps to maintain flavor and allows for a breif period of doubling up on effects such as we had with {evolving wilds} and {terramorphic expanse} during zendikar.

Yes but now they can come back in M15 or 16 and we will have both.
Hahaha So I just spent $50 and did quite a bit of trading to make my {W}{B} Lifegain deck and it can just be shut down with a 4 drop and a couple of black permanents...why do you hate me Wizards!?!?!?!

I have to side against it. We havent seen any bestow (except nighthowler) with their cmc as both a creature and enchantment. Sure the can be awesome in sealed and edh but in standrad that is just way too slow. You can do so much more with that mana.

^^^ Agree completely
Wizards think that making one slower set slows down the meta to the point where bestow is actually useable but I am still running my Boros Aggro after rotation. {Clifftop Retreat} and {Vexing Devils} are the only thing the deck is losing (now that {Seaing Spear} functionally reprinted)

It's awesome bc you cast it. And then pass turn. And ass you pass turn all your stuff untaps so it is {3}{U}{G} but you can still do stuff on their turn. And you're playing Blue so you probably have some card draw or something to do.
Also might work well with {Omnath, Locus of Mana} as you can just keep tapping away and doing it on both turns!!
Just ordered some on Ebay

What's the chances of
Enchant creature
Enchanted creatures gets a +3/+3 and becomes monstrous.
When enchanted creature becomes monstrous tap up to 3 target permenants you don't control. (Or some other monstrous ability)
I think this would fit well with Heroic
We got artifact enchantments. God creature enchants. And bestow enchant creatures. Can we get some legendary auras or something.. plz..

The muse is a control/combo card
And flash is a control mechanic through an through

I don't think they will make something like, because flavorwise not every creature is monstrous.
However, if they did, I feel like to make it work, it would have to be associated with a lesser evil god that just wanted to cause chaos on the plane.
{Tymaret} is still my vote for strongest card revealed so far. It's two colors are black and red, two of the arguably strongest colors right now in standard. Then, with the amount of token and cheap creatures red produces to be able to reanimate it or burn out your opponent with only 2 mana? Come on. Stupid strong.

From Mark Rosewater: "it's a card so basic, that having two different names to better match the world is not a bad thing. It also allowed us to have a flavorful {lightning bolt} without having to print a card we currently do not want to print."
Also another card for edh/singleton decks.
Five new lands go go go

I mean for the entry. In RtR block you chose a guild, in this you choose a single color.
Oh do you get more cards of color.choice. if so white
I will either play black, or green. I have variety, and although I love control, it is fun to play aggro from times just for fun.
maybe I'll try out white if I have the chance. Still more cards to be spoiled though. :)
Opinions on Scry lands
Temple of Abandon
ToA enters Tapped
When ToA etb Scry 1
{T}: add {R} or {G}

The dual lands are just Guildgates that give you a scry 1.

Per the article we only get these 5 right now:
Since we knew we would have all ten in the block, we went ahead right away and commissioned all ten pieces of art, which let us hold off on the decision on which duals to include in Theros until we'd had time to playtest Standard. We tried all the allieds, all of the enemies, and a few random mashups. Tom LaPille made a strong argument, though, that the previous year in Standard had extra time with the Return to Ravnica shocklands, and that the Gatecrash color pairs could use some extra time in the spotlight, so that is the model we went with. This left us with five more for the rest of the block. What will the order be for their release? You'll have to wait and see.
So the prerelease I think I'm playing at least 2 individual and 1 2hg match. So far looking at w,u,g...
New duals are disappointing to say the least, but we've been playing with such a greedy mana base it's hard to remember all the years of not-so-good dual lands.

Reminds me of when I first started playing... Had the original duals, they rotated. Then the ice age pain lands, they rotated. Then the enemy color tap pain lands... Just have to work your mana base

While I do agree that they should not be rare, I do however think that they r good. They r basically giving u a free scry, which if u have ever used scry u know that one scry can save your life. I like the new lands but am really annoyed they used 5 rare slots for them, they should be uncommon.
Scry 2... Thats what they needed to say. Scry is exponentially better when it is greater than 1. One card can sometimes send away nonrelevant cards but is usually just "look at top card" because the chance of getting something worse is too high. When you scry >1 you are make an informed and impactful descision about your next draw instead of leaving it almost entirely ro chance.
Haven't been keeping up on any of this. Anyone have a link to a compilation of spoiled cards? I'm assuming Salvation, but I'm lazy. Link would be appreciated, or I'll get around to it eventually.
Nvm, overcame myself. Here you go guys: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/theros-spoiler.html
Woah... This set is weird...
I like a lot of these cards though! The duals are interesting.
I hope I don't regret preordering a play set of Daxos for 9 bucks :c
has anyone else noticed that the dual lands they spoiled so far were the same colors that were in gatecrash?
How considerate.. no no.. no I need my alled colors darn it!

I agree. These lands do not deserve a rare slot just because they are guildgates with scry 1 ducttaped onto them. However these lands will no doubt see play. Not because they are good, but just because they are strictly better than the guildgates. They will be a 2-3 colored deck's only option.

I don't know if the scry is actually enough to make them better than guild gates. At least guild gates have tutors and other cards that interact with them, these just look at your top card. :/

Because the gatekeepers are great cards to run because gate decks are ruling standard. If there is something that interacts with gates i'd say its crap because no gate cards are playable ever EVER E V E R Never ever ever ever run guildgates unless you absolutley have too

Depending on what I need or have, probably drop the guild gate first if I don't have a 1 drop so I can shock myself next turn for a 2 drop.. Everything is situational!
I may just be too tired for cognitive ability, but why is Kragmar Warcaller part {B}?

I'm actually going to be using the deck as a casual deck. I was going to make it a standard deck but I decided to make it casual and throw in {Path to Exile}s and {Swords to Plowshares}. Also if the meta slows down as promised (big IF and won't happen until after RTR block leaves) it might be viable in standard when used with enough removal and/or mill in an Esper Control.
It says graveyard. So you could put it in a mill deck. Mill there best cards, then have a free-for-all with there graveyard. Not really, though you get my point
Why aren't people going crazy for Erebos?!? For four she's only a indestructible, a banned card ({Greed}) that costs {1} more for the ability, prevents your opponents from gaining life and if you can get 5 {B}'s on the battlefield you get a 5/7 indestructible creature. She should be worth more than Purphos and Thassa and has the potential to become a commander playable card even if you don't use the devotion part of it.
What do you think (flava wise) of (what I call the stab in the back cards) like Gainsay: 1{U} Counter target BLUE spell or Glare of Heresay 1{W} exile target WHITE permanent, etc.
I think they're really cool bc it's like how there is always corruption and backstabbing.
What do you guys think?

What do you think (flava wise) of (what I call the stab in the back cards) like Gainsay: 1{U} Counter target BLUE spell or Glare of Heresay 1{W} exile target WHITE permanent, etc.
I think they're really cool bc it's like how there is always corruption and backstabbing.
What do you guys think?
there cool except I don't think there are many corrupt white cards...
Quote from: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on September 07, 2013, 11:15:12 PM
Why aren't people going crazy for Erebos?!? For four she's only a indestructible, a banned card ({Greed}) that costs {1} more for the ability, prevents your opponents from gaining life and if you can get 5 {B}'s on the battlefield you get a 5/7 indestructible creature. She should be worth more than Purphos and Thassa and has the potential to become a commander playable card even if you don't use the devotion part of it.
Oh we're crazy about it all right but no one on here seems to care too much for it. This is going to be a must in any esper deck and there will be a few.

You are correct. MaRo said there are five major gods and ten minor gods
So there's a God for each guild too? That's sick. Will they be in Theros or the next set?
So let's keep a list of the Minor Gods as we figure out what they are:
{W}{U}
{W}{B}
{W}{R}
{W}{G}
{U}{B}
{U}{R} Keranos (Flavor text of {Steam Augury})
{U}{G} Kruphix ({Prophet of Kruphix})
{B}{R}
{B}{G}
{R}{G}
When a new one is revealed, quote this and fill in the new god.

he said that too. There's five in the next set (I'm guessing the RTR colors) and five in the set after that (leaving the gatecrash). Based on when there introducing the RTR colored lands
I am really hoping for a 5 color ultimate god.
I think the gruul one is xenagos and will be In the last set. The preview pic for it has xenagos as a big huge monster god.

Ok cool hopefully they come out at once. I don't like how some guilds got the extra month of duals in RTR. I know they evened it up in Theros but still I don't want it to happen again

^^^ Usually I'd love a {W}{B} mythic bomb that exiles, especially because of the exile deck I am working on but sadly I have to agree with you. If it was a 5 or 6 drop 2/2 or 3/3 with the same ability and maybe flash it would be playable but this is just terrible.

New archon will def be an addition to many edh decks. I almost feel sorry for kaalia players because it's not an angel or demon or dragon. But then I remember that I am not allowed to feel sorry for kaalia players unless they get hit by a bus. More than one busses, actually.

Yes but it would be tricky because the devotion land requires at least 3 devotion to generate any mana and {Crypt Ghast} only pumps up Swamps making it tricky because you need enough Plains to use {Debt to the Deathless} but not so much that the {Crypt Ghast} and Nythos don't generate a good amount of mana. You would be balancing a win con on the luck of the draw although with enough scrying, its viable.

remember that counterspell that got banned like a few days after it was released in modern.
why can't we have {Mental Misstep}?
{Fanatic of Mogis} could easily be a rare!!

Most decks will be either mono or duel colors. U will still see a few tri colors but not nearly as many as right now. If anything it would be duel colors with a splash of a third color.
I love the homage to the Trojan Horse of legend! {Akroan Horse} is gonna be fun to play with!
Edit: I've just realised that's going in my Token ramp EDH deck and gonna make sure {War Report} sits in my hand till very last minute!

For standard the whip is good, but for modern and other formats with a wider card base use {Serdis, the traitor king}
Wizards dropped the ball on originality here
Edit: come on wizards! There has to be better design space for reanimator then bringing back unearth
Edit: the whip is complete and utter crap sense there's something that does the same thing for cheaper

We were talking about this earlier on fb:
{Skarrg Goliath}
{Borborygmos Enraged}
{Abhorrent Overlord}
{Giant Adephage}
{Angel of Serenity} board wipe swing?
I run a Boros Aggro that has won first at FNM a few times and the only card that it is using is {Vexing Devil} and {Clifftop Retreats}. Well, technically its losing {Searing Spear} also but I am not even taking them out of the deck, I will put a playset of Lightning .poo. in my box and switch them out only if an opponent politely asks me to.

That was kinda assumed a few weeks ago... Look at the preview art for nyx
Looks like they will be fighting Xenagos.
http://www.mythicspoiler.com/nyx/index.html
I don't know if I'm a fan of the ordeals. They are, at most, a 3 turn benefit. And if you put another ordeal on the same creature, it goes away as soon as you attack again. I don't know. I suppose I'll like them more in about a week.

It may be for space saving purposes, but did anyone notice that the {1}{B} ability for Tymaret, the Murder King says "return Tymaret from your graveyard..." instead of using the full name? Is this unusual?

In standard you're in a format with scavenging ooze. So I could see him being a lot less effective. As for legacy, could this be a possible delver sidekick?

Is Chandra's home plane Mirridon? She looks very steam punk. She has the goggles which are a steam punk icon. And a steam punk looking thing on her arm. And she's even wearing chain mail. That suggests a steam punk like world. So maybe Mirridon or the plane with {steam flogger boss}?

Seriously though if you havent all seen the new magic show on youtube by mrorangeguy then you should check it out. He covers some very important key points about theros many have probably overlooked.
If i have Prognistic sphinx with ordeal of thassa equiped and i attack do i scry 3 or draw 2 cards first?
If two triggers are created at the same time the the active player puts all triggers on the stack first in an order of their choosing followed by each other player in turn order doing the same.

So far I'm loving mono-red
I can't believe people haven't been talking about {Soldier of the Pantheon}?!? A one-drop 2/1 pro multicolor and whenever an opponent casts a multicolor spell you gain 1 life! White weenie is looking amazing right now!
So who's playing what color in prerelease. I'm playing black. Mono black go so many good cards but I'll with play jun reveler, Esper control or b/w/r Purphoros which saw on youtube

Wrath, not wraith, ex: {Wrath of God}
Silly thing that came to mind when I woke up. That satyr has a triggered ability that hits you. Wait till damage is done, then target that heroric white one drop that prevents damge while the satyr's ability is on the stack. That way you only get the good and none of the bad. To ba red and white don't mix well...oh wait.

When he is dealt damage it damages you. You can negate the damage to you. Sure he'll die under most circumstances but casual players love having set ups like this for all the shenanigans.
At the risk of sounding stupid I'm assuming were talking about favored hoplite. But it says that he prevents damage to himself the satyr does damage to the owner. Am I really dense I just don't see the connection

it depends on your strategy. Theros is an enchantment block. Green is excellent at destroying enchantments, yet you run the risk of not getting those cards. So that's risky business. So I would say either {U}{W} or {U}{B}

{Fade Into antiquity}! Wow! Green has always destroyed, but now it's exiling them too! Look out Pillow Fighters! Haha!
PS good on you peeps for keeping the link on each page in my absence! But beware those of you who care about Karma, one particular user isn't a fan of it's repetition.
That one person doesn't matter...the other 30 that like having the link on every page for easy reference matter more :)

Addaboy!!!
On a different note, I can't hold back my love for {Prognostic Sphinx}. Not for his mechanic per se, but just look at him. Reminds of the old many armed dude from Spirited Away. What a champ!
Holy .poo.! They just spoiled like 100 cards, 240/249 are spoiled now!

Wow.. Colossus of Akros
Artifact Creature — Golem
Defender, indestructible.
: Monstrosity 10.
As long as Colossus of Akros is monstrous, it has trample and can attack as though it didn't have defender
Illus. Zack Stella 10/10

I know. So cool! I usually don't like non-spike cards, but the flavor for this set has been so good. Very good work by Mark Rosewater and company
The set is very vorthos/Melvin
Someone dropped the ball on spoilers. Whole set is spoiled, and it wasnt due to be revealed for another week.
Where are they spoilt, Dude?

Wow, look at those cards! I love the spells that target two creatures at once! Where did that ONE Leonin come from? {Nyela's Presence} is exciting!!! AND THERE'S ANOTHER UNICORN!!!!
I think I need to preorder a third box.
And with the 🌞💀 Archon, the Triad of Fates and now the 🌞💀 Skeleton Griffin (plus all the enchantment creatures in both colours and everything else for that matter) I'm totally running Orzhov. Hard!

Just because there is just so much value in the set. I'm doing u/w so like ill be able to sell off so much of the hv cards
I'm thinking an American Heroic Midrange (I might go Azorius or Boros instead). It would work a lot like a white weenie deck and would focus on Heroic cards that give bonuses to all of my creatures, like {Phalanx Leader} and overwhelming my opponents with a lot of medium sized creatures. Of course going to run {Frontline Medic}s, {Boros Charm}s and/or {Rootborn Defense}s for survivability, don't want to get board sweeped.

I'd think Bant looks best, {R} isn't seeing much heroic...
Quote from: Taysby on September 14, 2013, 07:01:13 PM
How about {boros reckoner}? You have red and white, you have to run 4 of him. H is the red white {thragtusk}.
To Taysby-Yeah, i'd probably run a few of them but I was just listing the basics.
To Mlerner-Red has a lot of combat tricks and spells that would trip heroic and some of the heroes I was thinking of are {Arkroan Crusader} and {Labyrinth Champion}. Red would also give me the ability to run {Assemble the Legion} and {Purphoros, God of the Forge} could be really nasty in a deck like this.
Would {weapon surge} work with heroic?

Not when overloaded. Overload doesn't target

you would need something that targets, like {Comet Storm} but preferably something that buffs instead of doing damage
{Swift Justice} is amazing with Heroic. It could save your creature (with first strike), gives him a slight bonus (+1/+0), give you lifegain (lifelink) plus whatever bonus the Heroic gives you. Its too bad Bloodrush doesn't work with Heroic though.
Well what if a card said "target each creature target player controls"
Would that work?

look at the resolution of the hundered cards they spoiled. It doesn't match the others.
Either that or someone panicked because the set wasn't going the way they wanted and they threw a hissy fit by throwing all these cards in. The high-res cards slow things down. While look, the low-res cards are for a fast paced meta. It just doesn't add up why they would just throw those in. Plus a hundered at once? Wierd

I was thinking the same thing
The set looks stapled together now, and I'm not sure it's really going to be as big of a hit as it would have been. Because before it looked incredible. Now it looks meh because of the Frankenstien feel to it
Then again. A slower meta should be a gradual change, so I can see why they might have done that
And a random Leonin from no where!!!
There are barely any enchantments which is wierd for an enchantment block, wotc hasnt been spoiling or updating on daily mtg for some reason, it all seems pretty wierd...
Some have weird wording
"Target creature can't be blocked"
"Equiped creature can't be blocked except by walls"

Read the planeswalker's guides. Leonin are huge. They used to live where the red/white city is and were inslaved and had their culture beaten out of them by a tyrant. Now they have a resentment toward humans and their culture and live a semi-nomadic lifestyle of raids and physical prowess. They are as problematic as the minotaurs for the adverage human.

Oh cool!!! I do love Leonin but from memory I don't remember any from Greek Mythology, hence my 'wtf'.
I rarely get a chance anymore to scour the new and/or read cool articles of my interests, but I will now!
It's greek/ roman inspired not based on. Their free to keep it more magic friendly.

Really, I'll tell em not to sell the cards so ok.
But anyways, theros looks really awesome to draft with
Yea they didn't sell any. But I pulled 1 Thassa and 2 nylea today :>

So what's your favorite card from prerelease weekend?
My vote (for limited only) is {Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver}
And your favourite card from the set?
My vote is {Fleecemane Lion} like a 3/3 for 2 that can become 4/4 Hexproof and indestructible later is just awesome

Having the whole weekend off and sleeping in monday...definately priceless.
A YouTube channel I'm subsribed to post a video this weekend. Impossibly priceless. Hint hint. Lol ❤️
Even if it's low quality we'll put a video out sunday night on our reactions to Theros.
I call your lie and raise you two videos by Friday
I just now got home from the last event of the weekend. Im working on it now.

It's all in the video. Just went up. Im adding a short summary that touches on some more general topics. Quality is poor as this is a rush job.

Is ashiok a nod to innistrad? She's not from theros
{Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver}
I dunno, she's not really wearing Innistradian garb. Might be from somewhere else again.

She looks pretty native to theros. She has a lot of the traits of a returned.
