That new eldrazi is awesome. Wonder how many new eldrazi will come with this set

July 29, 2015 11:29 a.m.

CheeseBro says... #5

and that art though. im thinking zendikar will be mono green, because Avenger of Zendikar is 1 out of 80. That eldrazi is only 41 out of 80! We are gonna see alot of eldrazi and colorless stuff. yeah!

Oh lawd, Oblivion Sower is hilariously worded for EDH!

"I cast Endless Horizons!"

"I cast Oblivion sower, take all your lands?"

Scoop.

"I cast Worldgorger Dragon"

"Flash in Oblivion Sower?"

Scoop.

Oblivion Sower seems like it could be a solid cog piece to a ramp deck. As a top end threat it sucks.

July 29, 2015 11:31 a.m.

CheeseBro says... #9

zendikar will definitely be mono green

July 29, 2015 11:31 a.m.

CheeseBro says... #10

anyone thinking we may see a new mechanic similar to anihilator that instead of sacrificing permanents you exile cards from the top of their library?

July 29, 2015 11:32 a.m.

Oblivion Sower is amazing against Standard blue decks that will be delving away all their fetches and discarded lands... It doesn't even have to resolve for you to get the lands.

Is this a hint at a new Annihilator-like keyword that's going to exile top cards of the library? Please no.

New Avenger of Zendikar art is beautiful.

EDIT: Ninja'd by CheeseBro on point #2....

July 29, 2015 11:32 a.m. Edited.

CheeseBro says... #12

ducttapedeckbox like what i said. i hope its not real. that would be annoying.

July 29, 2015 11:34 a.m.

CheeseBro says... #13

ducttapedeckbox how do you edit comments?

HolyFalcon says... #14

SPOIELRS!!!!11!1!1!1one!1!1!1!

On the other hand, kool eldrazi. Avenger reprint is also nice, but I expected more from this set.

/shrug

inb4 we get some good expensive card like goyf in the Zendikar side-OMG. Goyf looks like the roil. Goyf confirmed BFZ 2016

I don't know if I wouldn't like that because it would be annoying or stupid. Then again, it might make mill viable in Standard depending on what we see. Eh. I just really don't like that I can't stop that "cast" ability frm going off with my control deck.

5/8 for isn't bad at all, either..

I think you need to be upgraded to edit your comments. You can only do so within 5 minutes of posting the original.

CHOO CHOO MOTHER F*CKER!

VampireArmy says... #18

That new eldrazi interacts very favorably with delve considering lands are usually the first to go

July 29, 2015 11:41 a.m.

Servo_Token says... #19

So landfall is back. That's pretty sick. Hedron Crab reprint HYPE!

July 29, 2015 11:43 a.m.

HolyFalcon says... #20

No, Avenger is in the reprint slot, which means it prob won't be in the next set (see Zurgo Helmsmasher vs Arcanis the Omnipotent)

July 29, 2015 11:45 a.m.

Servo_Token says... #21

Yes, I thought that this was a real spoiler, not the duel deck...

Now leaving the hype train

July 29, 2015 12:13 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #22

I think they posted on Facebook that landfall would be back though. Let's hope it's back in bfz

July 29, 2015 12:15 p.m.

JakeHarlow says... #23

New Eldrazi just do Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver-type stuff?

Hope not.

July 29, 2015 12:16 p.m.

JA14732 says... #24

VA, hope it doesn't ruin the limited scene if it does return (landfall, that is).

dantekratos says... #25

I love that eldrazi.

July 29, 2015 12:34 p.m.

Oblivion Sower looks fantastic in Legacy 12 Post as a 1x of and/or sideboard addition. Maybe MUD too, but it's not an artifact so... I could even see it fit in Modern. Tron maybe? Especially Tron. But it competes with Wurmcoil Engine's slot...

I can see this as a bomb in EDH, especially Animar, Soul of Elements lists. Khee hee.

July 29, 2015 12:45 p.m.

dantekratos says... #27

aeonstoremyliver I had the same thought. but the problem is that it isn't an artifact so you can't tutor it with Treasure Mage or Fabricate.I wonder what other cards will come out

July 29, 2015 12:50 p.m.

MagicalHacker says... #28

Why is everyone all against this hinting at a new annihilator ability? It seems flavorful, not OP, at least with some amount of power, and not oppressive. Like, all around it seems fine (not exciting, but fine by me). I'm sure that it won't just be straight-up exile milling, but with effects WITH it.

July 29, 2015 12:51 p.m.

IvoryFrost says... #29

and landfall returns!!!

July 29, 2015 12:55 p.m.

Dat art...

July 29, 2015 1:11 p.m.

Schuesseled says... #31

If this was an indication that the new annihilator is an exile-mill effect, i ask you, why the fuck does this Eldrazi not have it as well. Surely that's the point.

I like how they brought back "stuff happens" when you cast eldrazi, but it doesn't seem exciting, just being undercosted, does not a mythic make.

July 29, 2015 1:14 p.m.

SimicPower says... #32

I hope this isn't a mythic in Battle for Zendikar. I don't think they have ever downgraded the rarity of a duel deck mythic before, so I guess it will stay mythic. Wizards has set the bar really high for mythic Eldrazi.

July 29, 2015 1:20 p.m.

HolyFalcon says... #33

My take on the new Eldrazi Exill.(Exile+Mill=Exill. Copyright 2015 Magicrafter)

July 29, 2015 2:46 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #34

Why did you use Pathrazer of Ulamog for the art?

July 29, 2015 2:52 p.m.

HolyFalcon says... #35

It looks like he's picking up people and eating them :P

July 29, 2015 2:54 p.m.

DarkLaw says... #36

I don't like the new Eldrazi. I don't get how it could see much play. I mean, why pay 6 for the Eldrazi when you can pay 6 for Primeval Titan and get FAR more value?

July 30, 2015 4:54 p.m.

DarkLaw says... #37

*Note that Primeval Titan isn't in standard, of course...

July 30, 2015 4:55 p.m.

SimicPower says... #38

That's why it will probably see no play in eternal formats. It seems pretty powerful in standard.
