From here at wotc, we would like to sincerely apologize for Kaladesh block being too powerful



Dispossess 2B
Sorcery (rare)
Name an artifact card. Search target opponent's hand, graveyard and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them.

These types of cards aren't actually good though.

 

[Tunoku]

were people down on the playability overall? The design still sucks but it's flashback.

Reduce to Rubble was an instant sell for nearly everyone for instance. Spring to mind is interesting for me as it ramps you into gearhulk while putting a draw spell into the graveyard but it's also a 3 mana sorcery which are unplayable on turn 3 for control decks.

You don't necessarily need to be a control deck to use Torrential Gearhulk. Maybe some big mana Simic deck with a great lategame?

why would you make such a deck when you have access to marvel still?

So long my sweet Marvel deck. Pretty sweet sb card. 3 mana is a lot in eternal, but being able to swipe it all is strong.

Orim's Chant/Silence plus Isochron Scepter is always fun though .

 

[Santiako]

The Tokens of Amonkhet

That's a lot of tokens, including a few embalm tokens for cards we don't know yet.

 

[Maledict]

So what exactly is going on with the sarcophagi? We can see on the red card them being destroyed and Gideon helping people who were trapped in them. Are they sealing the champions who pass the trials in there and draining them of mana?

Have to say, this set has redeemed Bolas a bit. Up until now he's been a farcically dumb 'big bad', and felt more like a Scooby Doo boss than anything else. But he really did a number on Amonkhet in a very evil way that's distinct from Phyrexia and the Eldrazi.

 

[A_Dang]

Am I correct in thinking they have one more mythic to spoil? Is that what they will do for the last big splash before the full spoiler tomorrow?

Some of the new embalm cards could be interesting. Heart-Piercer Manticore as a repeatable Fling on a 4 power body could be alright if it doesn't cost too much to cast or embalm. And Aven Wind Guide looks like a limited monster in UW or BW token decks.

Also, how do you mummify an illusion?

There is one mythic, four rares, and like half the uncommons and commons left to spoil.

You wrap it in linen obviously.

 

[Poppy]

i am really looking forward to this set, i havent done drafts since like the beginning of shadows over innistrad, but i am itching to get into this format, i bet it will be fun

 

[Santiako]

Torrential Gearhulk buying back Memory at the end of the opponent's turn is going to be pretty gross.

 

[Santiako]

meh

 

[Simply Sarah]

Pfft. It's only casting Timetwister. When has anyone ever cared about that?

 

[traveler]

Don't really get the flavor of the wurm card. The wurms are so territorial they protect the sky above the dunes.... But not the dunes themselves? (Ground based creatures)

 

[El Topo]

Yeah, I don't quite get it either.

 

[kirblar]

You went underground.

 

[DrArchon]

Yeah, if they wanted to show wurms protecting the skies, why not just make Wurm tokens with Reach? Because this way it seems like they only care about birds and stuff.

Whatever, no one's gonna care about this card outside of limited and super casual EDH.

 

[Santiako]

It is powerful if cast out of a marvel, but I'm not really a fan.

 

[Tunoku]

why would you make such a deck when you have access to marvel still?

Sigh...you're not wrong.

EDIT: The Minotaur 4/3 letting you pitch a scrounger is quite good. That way you can always get a card back if the 4/3 dies. I'm definitely gonna try building some Red deck splashing Black with that in mind. I hope a more consistent and more aggressively slanted BR deck can keep up with Mardu.

I like the Zombie

They are protecting the ground. There will quickly be a bunch of 5/5s that block.

 

[bigkrev]

Hah

hahahahahahahaha

Well, you can now run 12 Time Walks plus 4 of this if you want to make a Boros turns deck with the new Gideon

 

[traveler]

That is actually pretty cool. No idea if it belongs anywhere, but it feels both appropriately red and mythic.

 

[ultron87]

You can even chain those by casting them in response to the previous one's trigger.

 

[kirblar]

Extras will give you an extra turn btw (after your opponent gets another)

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I guess it combos with Hive Mind, not that we were exactly starved for ways to win after resolving Hive Mind.

I actually love that they print stupid cards like this. And yes, this is a damn Mythic and nobody had better bitch about it.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Hah

hahahahahahahaha

Oh my. I love it! This is very much my kind of card.

 

[The Technomancer]

I think I love that card

This feels so much better as a Mythic because it's a build around then say,Warden of the First Tree.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

I wonder why it's Indestructible... Not complaining though.

PS: That "End the Turn" card is fucking hilair.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I love that art, but the whole "I'm taking you down with me" angle could have been done so much better!

Glorious End (2R)
Instant
As an additional cost to cast Glorious End, exile your library, exile all permanents you control, exile all other cards from your hand, and pay X life, where X is your life total minus one.

You and target player lose the game.

I'm more referring to the people who are going to bitch that Red's mythic slot got "wasted."

 

[Glix]

Wrecks the cat combo if you can win the next turn.

 

[kirblar]

Probably because of Awakening.

 

[Tunoku]

o7

That's an actually interesting and cool Red Mythic. I can't believe it.

 

[A_Dang]

...thats not the kind of splashy mythic I was thinking they would end with...

Yes, it's interesting, but its not a clear winner of a card.

 

[Poppy]

just get your gideon with emblem down and go to town

 

[DrArchon]

These are the kind of mythics I want to see more of. Not just pushed Spike cards that'll obviously be 4-of's in every deck that can run them, but wonky cards that really make you think about how to use them.

I can't wait to throw away a game of limited by casting this at just the wrong time.

So many draws would be forced with this in tournaments.

How could anyone argue against this at Mythic? It's absolutely a mythic effect (extra turns), it's a splashy effect that has only been used twice before (and never in Red), and it's costed at a price for constructed.

It's a $3 Mythic that never actually hits bulk in all likelyhood, but it's fun as hell, and way better than them just taking the best constructed cards and sticking them at mythic even if they don't "feel" mythic, or just making giant unplayable monsters for the slot

This would probably join Shaharazad as the only card banned in Vintage that isn't an Ante card or a manual dexterity card.

Would be a fine silver bordered design though

 

[Imperfected]

They can get in line behind Black players complaining their God slot got ganked.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

that's a mono red counterspell. Sadly it doesn't go beneath isochron scepter.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Probably because of Awakening.

Wouldn't BFZ block have rotated by the time this came out? I mean, I guess they did have time to update stuff. But yeah, that's reasonable.

Combo with Sundial of the Infinite, yo!

 

[A Serious Man]

Hah

hahahahahahahaha

This is dope.

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

Im definitely running Glorious End in my standard deck. Nobody wins.

 

[Santiako]

That red mythic is glorious indeed.

I wonder why it's Indestructible... Not complaining though.

The 5 gods are there chilling, so it makes sense.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Hah

hahahahahahahaha

This card is hilarious. The fact that it's actually pretty good in the right shell makes it even more so. I wonder if this says anything about red's color pie. It would be cool if "end the turn" (at instant speed) shifted to red from blue.

 

[A_Dang]

It's also interesting that this is the 4th(?) card, and only red card with that effect. Day's Undoing, Sundial of the Infinite and Time Stop all have "end the turn." Anything else?

 

[Santiako]

With that name and effect I love that they left that mythic to spoil as the last one.
