Disappointed, thought something with the name Scion of Ugin would be more badass than a 4/4 flyer for {6}

But it's colorless!!! So sweet. It's gonna be bananas, I know it. Any "protection" from whatever doesn't apply. Thiz is a great segue into eldrazi colorless without annihilator.

It's still a 4/4 frame that will crumple into a tin can as soon as it gets in combat with one. Also it's an old formula. There are a lot of {6} for 4/4 flying in artifact. {Gold Forged Sentinel} off the top of my head.

Disappointing. Was hoping for something for {Ensoul Artifact}.

No put that sentinel in a party full of uncommon dragons. I'm betting this is a D+, C- by LR standards. Makes your deck when things have gone awry.

The new surrak makes me sad

Agreed. Why run him when you've got {Polukranos, World Eater} at the same cost with one extra toughness and a much better ability? That's practically a straight comparison as they're both legendary.  Disappointed.

Wow they sure put a lot of thought into those monument cards.  All of them turn into 4/4 flying ..... wait for it .... wait for it .... dragons. ....big surprise there.  I mean seriously how about give them so flavor associated with their colors like the keyrunes did????

And I am not typically negative about new cards.

Still waiting for {vial of dragonfire} to be spoiled.  Via

{Renowned Weaponsmith}

I think in rotation with zendikar he will be good assuming eldrazi most likely are back


But I agree
T3 poly, no need for him in that slot.

I'm wondering if {Tapestry of Ages} is good enough for control...

I would say it makes sense that in this alternative dragon led fate, that the khans are scrub versions of themselves: see {zurgo bellstriker}. New anafenza seems fine but otherwise all bad. And my autocorrect just tried to change anafenza to snakebird which is hopefully a spoiler from Apple.

Definitely worth a Playtest but as a 1 of maximum don't want to be stick with these in hand :D

Guys, double check the art of {Scion of Ugin}. Anything else like that? Weird.

Also, {Tapestry of the Ages} seems like a bad card. {4} initial investment for {2} add draw a card to a non-creature spell? How often can you afford that? And it has to tap. Not very impressive. If it was {1} maybe. If it was just tap hell yes.

Ugin scion is colorless and not an artifact!!!!! are we missing this???

Which makes it worse! And the art goes past the borders. So weird.
