Magic: the Gathering - T: Add Three Mana Of Any One Colour To Your Mana Pool

[aldeayeah]

Lantern Control wins another GP, which I guess makes it the de facto current best control deck in Modern.

Also, 2 Dredge in top 8 lololol.

[aldeayeah]

Horny lands.

[Seika]

Yeah, Bolas has his teeth in deep apparently.

Also Nissa, Gids and Lilly, as well as what I think are going to be a new set of gods. Or some really weird dudes who've had magical head surgery.

[aldeayeah]

Considering how... metallic they look, I'd say that Legendary Artifact Creature - God isn't out of the question...

[Nihilm]

Amonkhet looks pretty cool as a theme for the set so far.

[Lycodrake]

The god's designs are super awesome. Freaking out a bit.

[Seika]

Hey, Wizards put out the uncropped Lili pic on Twitter.


Looks good except for Lili's perfectly upright, uninclined head on top of a lounging, decadent body.

Also, it looks like 'the tops just float' is a feature of Amonkhet architecture. You can see slight gaps in the pyramids, but even the structure behind the obelisk in the top left has a levitating bit on the top.

[Rafflesiac]

I kinda thought she had a thinner face.

[Lycodrake]

So Ammit/Ammut-like, or at least potentially so, dragon-thing, plus theriocephic gods: cat-headed and thus analogue to Sekhmet or Bastet with a bow, ibis so Thoth and spear, crocodile for Sobek with staff, jackal for Anubis with bident and snake for Wadjet with a staff/spear that's almost a copy of Avacyn's.

I'm just super hyped like AAAAAAA.

I presume this was late, but I got Art of Kaladesh a couple of days ago, and spent my time catching up on the stories before reading it.

Stories: Big Chandra explosion, Planar Bridge blows up, Tezz disappears. Ooooh, is he dead (not likely), did he get randomly teleported somewhere, did he manage to 'walk out, what happened?

Art of Kaladesh: spoilerHe got away perfectly safe and sound and now *is* a Planar Bridge because he took the core.

The contrast, particularly in the sheer bluntness with which the artbook put it, was something of a surprise.

[aldeayeah]

That part was spoiled before the story was put up. In hindsight, it explains why Tezz was so nonchalant around Liliana - his master keikaku had been completed thirty-five minutes ago.

[Seika]

I had a brief moment of panic when I saw that there was a Damnation spoiler and had forgotten this was MM17 season, not Amonkhet.

I wonder how badly the value of the ZEN fetches has warped the set.

[hatori]

oh, definately warped to the point packs will probably cost SGD$18-20 at least. meanwhile, i'm gonna wait for the flood of fetches, goblin guides and other reprints which will dip prices to pick them up for both investment and play.

[Seika]

I meant more in terms of the rest of the set being worthless.

[Seika]

New Terminate which has Sun Titan dying. Flavour text: 沈まない太陽などない - There is no sun that never sets.

(Original Sun Titan flavour text: A blazing sun that never sets).

I was looking so hard for someone who'd transcribed the flavour text. It's all very well to tell us that the flavour text is cool, but if your image is too crap to tell what it is, that's a problem. (Issues for the non-natives who want flavour text early ... )

[Seika]

Hayne gets Entreat the Angels as his spoiler card.

Thanks to Hearthstone, Kibler gets Bonfire. Sweet burn.

[Saiga]

That is an awesome flavour text

[aldeayeah]

Hayne gets Entreat the Angels as his spoiler card.

Thanks to Hearthstone, Kibler gets Bonfire. Sweet burn.

Also, Affinity master extraordinaire Frank Karsten gets Stony Silence.

As for LSV...

[Lycodrake]

MM17 is ridiculous. Bonkers. Bamboozling. Gorsh.
