Shadows of innistrad (baseless speculation and spoilers)

[Johng4490]

I don't care if it sucks, I will be playing a clue deck. 👍🏻

[Johng4490]

I'll have to investigate...

...yes, it is raging.

[Rasser]

Madness! 👍🏼

I predict a Tibalt sighting...

Didn't Sorin kill him?

So...regarding Delirium (4 or more card types in GY), are there any flavor reasons why we couldn't see a {Tarmogoyf} reprint in this set? Like, is there somewhere that says there are no Lhurgoyfs on Innistrad? I know it's super implausible, but it meshes well with the synergies in the set and with basically all of modern spiking it'd be nice to be thrown a bone once in a while you know? Or do we NOT want that because either 1) it will make SOI boxes super expensive, 2) it will cause too much SOI to be opened, depressing the value of the other cards in the set or 3) it will cause 'Goyf to tank, making everyone who spent hundreds picking up a set super unhappy?

It's definitely not OP in standard, so I don't think that's a concern, especially with the abundance of two-mana removal that hits it and token strategies that don't care how big a creature is if it doesn't have trample. Would definitely shake some stuff up though.

in our local fb group, someone had a speculation about this, and everyone is praying for reprint

As much as ppl say it won't be too OP in standard remember that there are still fetches and hand disruption in standard without a lot of GY hate.

Going T1 duress/despise take something
T2 fetch Goyf makes a T2 3/4 in standard that can't be fiery impulsed and that by no stretch is a god hand that would be very common and for that reason Goyf will likely never see the light of standard play

I thought fetches rotate out at shadows. But I don't see a goof reprint. He's the staple of modern masters. That's the next reprint of him.

[Mattao19]

Oh no I could be wrong. I'm not sure about the new standard rotation lol my bad but still though even T1 duress/despise take a non sorcery t2 Goyf and it can't be impulsed

[Avnger345]

When shadows comes in, khans and fate rotate out.   No more fetches.

More cards spoiled.  Rumor has it, a booster box was stolen from factory.

Official spoilers should start March.

Rumor sounds like bs, why haven't they shown the rares or mythics if they stole a box? Seems more like the small group of people that get glimpses of the set early took some pictures they weren't supposed to, like last time and the time before. Lol

[rarehuntertay]

Now that I think about it, since we are returning to a plane of ghost, ghoulies, demons, things that go bump in the night, and Emrakul hanging overhead (?), it would be the perfect set to reprint  {Damnation}... Or something akin to  {Hellfire}

[rarehuntertay]

I think if they reprinted damnation then everyone would freak out pretty hardcore

Maybe Emrakul will have Madness:2BB: Exile all creatures

[Thefluffymacheen]

I think if they reprinted damnation then everyone would freak out pretty hardcore

That sure would be a terrible feeling, dropping an {Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger} or {Kozilek, the Great Distortion} just have someone {Damnation} your whole board.
