Title: new card?

apparently the artist has confirmed that the art is his, but nothing about the card. i believe the original poster claimed to have opened it in a born of the gods pre release pack, but seems unlikely.

I think its fake. The name of the artist is weird and it doesn't have the new frame.

Edit: So you don't have to go to the link to see it

Not saying whether it's real or fake, but rk post has done plenty of Magic art.

QuoteThere are five big changes visible above on Waste Not. Four are game-wide changes that will be implemented in M15 and every set going forward, and the last is a little something special just for this set. Let's go over them.

From http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/281. The "little something special" is the designer credit.

Okay, I found this on Tumblr about the above card:

The back looks like this: (https://24.media.tumblr.com/815118686e0498ca89900ad9304b6d42/tumblr_n0a81vCGtL1tophcho2_500.png)

If you call the number, you supposedly get a long code (bqwaheqxqhxy4xqmhoxgmgqpxmcqpgbyjmqcgmuqxomgvzkvqwaheqxqhxyoxgpctxjrvcuqxomxgxqurvcnxruqxomxyxuuhmhvyxagxquoqvnmdxmevvjmpqtxgwhorvcuvtcmgvzkvqwaheqxqhxyhymvmvxmevvjmpqtxgw3/3gvyjthqxgr)  which ran through an online cryptogram gives you:

Cogwork Librarian 4

Artifact Creature - Construct

Draft Cogwork Librarian face up. As you draft a card, you may draft an additional card from that booster pack. If you do, put Cogwork Librarian into that booster pack.

3/3 Conspiracy

Some are saying that this might elude to an Un-3, and that Wizards might be messing with us.

Here is an exchange on Blogatog:

winmill asked:Today I saw an image of a foil that had supposedly ended up in a Prerelease pack. The foil was called "Magister of Worth". Can you say anything either way about this? We're all curious!

[Maro answered] There is no card called Magister of Worth in Born of the Gods.

The set symbol doesn't fit with anything current really. There are a few things I noticed though. One is the set symbol, and another is that the set number is 48/210, 210 being an oddball number for wizards to do. Also next to the set number there is a star. Can anyone make anything of that?

If this is real (which, looking at the posts on reddit and the reactions of WotC, I think it is), I'd love to use this in my Kaalia Angel Tribal deck. Sure, there are better angels, but it has a sort of cool factor to it.

What madness is this?  It's actually real?

And I'd bet $5 (I'll make it with the first person to accept) that it's unhinged 3.  Both if those guys are too stupid to be in a normal set.
I'll take that bet. There's no way they would make another un set

Looks like a special set for drafting. I am thinking it will be like modern masters.  A set specifically designed for a draft.

I seem to remember hearing that Mark Rosewater has been fighting to make a third un-set for a while. I think I heard it while listening to his podcast "drive to work", or it might have been on this app, not sure.

Edit: I think that if a new un-set is in fact coming, then these two cards are from different sets. The angelic card does not feel like an un-card at all, whereas the clock dude does. So here's what I think:

Either a) the angel card is from an upcoming commander set and the clock dude is from an un-set further down the road

or b) the angel card will never exist, and was used only as a way to cleverly hint at an upcoming un-set.

It wasn't silver bordered so I don't think it could be an un- set.

Post by: Coffee Vampire on January 31, 2014, 07:59:16 PM
Ah good catch! This gives me further confidence that they are from different sets.

They are not changing the colors. Un- sets are always silver because they are not tournament legal.

Un isn't a true set. They wouldn't change the borders.

I have been thinking with the popularity of cube, the online cube and WoTC willing to make more expensive sealed product (Modern Event deck), we could see a cube set. That would be awesome.

Maro has been dodging more questions on Tumblr, making me even more sure that this is real. Here is an example:

shtnthngs asked: Can you answer anything about a certain upcoming summer product? As in, is it real?

[Maro Answered] I assure you Magic 2015 is real. We've shown you pictures of it and everything.

Notice how the set they're from has been named conspiracy (since wotc got a copyright on that name earlier) and there was a complex encoded clue on the back of the card... What if it's real and just in flavor for conspiracy?

Post by: Sparkle Ninja on January 31, 2014, 09:54:17 PM
Maybe the card is a fake and somebody just MAGICked it into existence... Thats a stupid joke I'm sorry for ruining everyones day. I believe it is real and it is a puzzle for the world wide interwebs

I try to prevent these sort of things but they just happen. What made me think of it was the code on the back of the card because it lead to another card, or MTG's version of the Da Vinci Code
