lol guys, I know Voidslime is a thing. UG in Modern, however, is not, while UX of almost every other type (UR, UW, UWR, URB and sometimes the rare UB) is. This card could see play.

I mean the angel isn't all that good.
In Standard sure, but countering an activated/triggered ability isn't all that good in and of itself and it's still 3 mana.

I'm guessing that dark intimation is bolas destroying the portal while nobody is looking. Which would be dark, as it implies bolas wants the phyrexians right where they are? And also perhaps that the jacetice league failed to really stop tez?

It looks to me like they're still up, but imgur if you can't see the direct links: http://imgur.com/a/0RshZ
It is, though, all the time. Even the mythics with new keywords in KLD have it.
Not sure if it was already posted. Shuhei was caught cheating on camera spending 4 mana to cast Avacyn.
I could give him the benefit of the doubt but it was a decisive play and he counted the lands a turn earlier. Looks like he will stop playing.

They're still there, but here are more images.
It's really strange how little information comes from these story spotlights compared to the Kaladesh ones. You could put together the rough story of Kaladesh with its story cards but here we have "Pia starts a revolt (which is news to exactly no one), stuff happens, showdown with Tezz, Tezz next to rubble with a Bolas callout".

It was so stupid that Tezz had to cheat in the showdown with Pia and with stupid I mean comically bad writing. Tezzeret has decades of experience more and a direct connection to one of the most powerful metals in magic, he doesn't need to cheat and he's utterly prideful. He might stab you after he loses but he'll fight you fair and square.
we are missing 3 you can see them numbered next to the collector's number.
We are missing number 1, we have 2,3,4,5.

disallow is 1.
Still not surprised by the bad writing and horrible use of their cast. Every good guy should be good, and every bad guy a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
Disallow is clearly 3.

It's fine with one dimensional characters like Ob Nixilis but Tezzeret isn't one of those.
How is that a 3?
How is that a 3?
How is that a 1? Compare it to the collector's number in the same card.

You're right looks like it's 3.

I like this latest attempt to make Cancel great again. It "feels" right, but time will tell of course.

I like disallow. Its so versatile.
I know he isn't supposed to be but this is how he's being written
I'm guessing 'Bocas' is a typo for Bolas? I'm not up to date on the story, but is that what happens? He has Tezz blow up the portal?

I got worked.
I opened a P3 Angel of Invention and tried really hard to change the deck to include the double white and went 1-2.

Guys, the reason they never made Voidslime into a straight colored spell wasn't because Voidslime is too powerful, its because Stifle is a confusing effect for newer players.

countering activated abilities is also a green effect

If I had to guess, Bolas wants the Portal(and likely Phyrexians) to Stay where they are right now. It does him no good if they have free access to a transdimenional Portal they can use freely, after all.
Basically what Bolas can't control himself he wants destroyed.

Monoblue Voidslime confuses me, but also makes my EDH decks pretty happy.

This is maybe a silly question, but how do people know that the last card depicts the broken portal? Is there a picture of it somewhere?
Seems to be speculation on kirblar's part.
I was just piggybacking off someone else.

Hard to say, he doesn't seem to be fully Bolas puppet anymore but he still seems to be an accomplice. At the end of test of metal they agreed to work together but that's pretty much noncanon.

1) No, Saskia's ability says "as she enters the battlefield". Basically it's not a trigger; but rather an action you do as a player as she shows up on the battlefield
2) Yes, they do. ANY damage dealt by the creature is dealt as infect. So you can double infect players.
edit: watching familien edit his post three times in a minute is funny
Pls no. We have enough antiheroes.
Who? No one else is anymore.
Garruck is a murderer
Sarkhan is no longer crazy
Liliana is a sarcastic good guy
Sorin is on ice
Ashiok is ???
Bolas is evil
Phyrexians are evil
Nahiri is crazy
There are no others filling this role currently

This is really stupid. Come on.
The follow up is that this is more a thing they want to do to all sets, and are just using this as an example
I'm not sure I like Wizards going through and deciding what cards should be removed from classic formats because they would probably be terrible at it.
I don't think he's proved to be a villain yet. Did they ever even go over his involvement in the story besides getting the Gatewatch to come to Kaladesh? I feel like he's an unwitting pawn in Tezzeret's scheme.
