Dark Ascension Spoilers

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I want to see this "Gisa" turned into a card. The "Ghoulcaller" ({Ghoulcaller's Chant}) sounds like an epic Zombie Lord!!! The brother makes Skaabs, I prefer Black Zombies î,,


{Gisa, The Ghoulcaller}??? Haha wishful thinking...

If you have a look at the article Proph posted (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/178) specifically at the pics next to each letter, you'll that her brother, Geralf, is the dude from {Evil Twin}! So maye that's how he topped *SPOILER ALERT* Mikaeus, shapeshifting. Gisa herself looks sexily evil too, she has an image so it stands to reason she'll have a card...

And what's this {Grafdigger's Cage}?!?! I've looked back over the forum and can't find the link? ... I feel so left out. Lol

P.S. that land you posted is AMAZING!!! Go W/B!!!!!

Here ya go Spike!!! {Grafdigger's Cage} ---> http://www.magicspoiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Grafdiggers-Cage-Dark-Ascension-Spoiler.jpg

Okay, for starters, this card is so ridiculously broken!!! And at a rare, I am very curious as to the odds of pulling it. î,

Legacy and Vintage players want this, it SINGLEHANDEDLY shuts down Dredge, a very popular archetype. I can see this getting banned in a couple formats, WoTC R&D is off their rocker printing a card like this as a normal rare, and I mean wth?!?!? It only costs ONE!!! 1, UNO, holy crap!!! Either way, I love this card, it goes above and beyond what {Nigil Spellbomb} is being used for, shuts down reanimator, dredgeî€', any form of Flashback, I.E. {Snapcaster Mage}, and all the decks revolved around him, it makes {Birthing Pod} useless. I really don't think people understand how crazy this card is. Then again, maybe they do, it is beyond OP. And I like it î,, That's coming from someone who's trying to make mono-black Zombie/Reanimator î,,›

Whoa there, InfinitiveDivinity!  It's good, but not THAT good:

It stops people from casting spells in a gy, but not abilities.  Dredge can still dredge.  {Zombify}, {Reanimate} and its ilk aren't casting the creature from your 'yard, they're just putting them directly onto the battlefield.  the Cage can't stop that. 

Same goes for {Birthing Pod}.  No cards are being cast from the library, just put directly into play.  Only something like {Stiffle} could stop that.

You're right that it is an absolute flashback hoser though.  This card is not OP, just P.  So go ahead and make your zombie deck, just have a sideboard answer to swap out your {Gravecrawler}s, {Skaab Ruinator}s, and {Snapcaster Mage}s, cause this card is their sliver bullet.  (Yeah, I'm lovin' the "silver bullet" reference in a block with werewolves.  XD)

Edit:  I am a stoopid-hed!  Don't listen to me.  I only read half the card.  I'll try not to let it happen again, but I make no promises.

And here I thought my vamp deck couldn't get any better! My friends are already telling me that my deck is too strong, can't wait to add these new guys to it.

I thought it was saying: Creatures can't enter the battlefield from graveyard/library... Nothing about casting, huh? Isn't putting onto the battlefield the same as entering it?

Correction:  One of my minions got ahold of my keyboard and put a ridiculously stupid post that made it look like I didn't really read the card.  I'll deal with him later.   

DON'T LISTEN TO A THING I'VE SAID!!  THIS THING IS BUSTED!!  GET 40 OF THESE!

Sorry InfinitiveDivinity, you had it right all along.

{grafdigger's cage} is currently going for $10 presale, how do you think its cost will change after it comes out?

[Alaskanice]

And how soon will it be banned from play?

[BlackJester]

There is one thing about the {Grafdigger's Cage}, it shuts down all players alike, so I see it mostly sideboarded in WW, RWD, Bluesteel, and Wolf Run, type decks.  I also think it needed to be so cheap because of the speed of many reanimator decks.  Legacy can be dropping bombs on turn one pretty easily. 

[InfinitiveDivinity]

î,
Either way this thing is a BOMB!!! I can see it being worth quite a lot in the near future. 

[InfinitiveDivinity]

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE {Stromkirk Captain}, he's a beastly replacement for {Vampiric Fury}
