Ixalan Spoilers
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on June 16, 2017, 2:50 p.m. by clayperce
Hi everyone!
We've been chatting about Ixalan here for a while, but on 21 Aug Wizards got into the act with four promo cards (and some upcoming tokens):
And then on 28 Aug they posted a BUNCH more:
- Mechanics and some new cards are here: Ixalan Mechanics
AllMost of the previously-leaked cards are here: Behind the Scenes with the Alleged Ixalan Card Theft
So let's talk Ixalan!
It's sorcery speed for a 3 damage spell on 3 mana, which is awful. Then you think, but it's reusable. Well yes... but each reuse is 8 mana. At that point I'd rather just play... about anything else that costs that much to use

Isn't anybody going to mention the vehicle shown today?
September 14, 2017 4:22 p.m.
I don't know it's name, but it's a 2/2 crew 2 that gets a +1/+1 counter everytime something explores

@Ryjo i think ------ is referencing this
I'm guessing Vraska tried to save jace and failed, but since the card is return to hand, he's not dead lol
September 14, 2017 4:43 p.m.
Or... he is dead and wotc is giving people what they asked for... no more gatewatch!
Hey. A man can dream.

I do hate the gatewatch. However, I don't hate Jace, especially after his mind-wipe he became a much more interesting character. Someone else was saying maybe one of Jace's clone things (like he does with his ult) fell, Vraska didn't know, now Vraskas sad. Could be an interesting plot point.

That's a solid card though.
The scry effect makes the occasional land bounce of
Boomerang negligible

Guess Who Fraying Sanity's New best buddy is.
(Hint it's this guy)

Um, the images on your last two posts are not showing.

Who here think Mill will be a thing in standard?

I just loooove the art on Vance's Blasting Cannons. Too much it's pretty much a worse Outpost Siege for my EDH decks.

Anyone saw the Yet Another 1-drop Raid Goblin?

Full set is out... no real surprises left but I am very happy with the whole thing overall.
September 15, 2017 11:41 a.m.
Still waiting for the planeswalker deck cards though.
September 15, 2017 11:57 a.m.
@Shane the new Planeswalker deck cards are up on Mythicspoiler.com all the way at the bottom (idk about the reprints/decklists though)
I'm pumped on this set. My EDH decks will only gain a few cards; but I'm really excited for the prerelease events.
September 15, 2017 12:32 p.m. Edited.
@greyninja, yeah I saw those. I just thought that we would get more.
September 15, 2017 12:41 p.m.
The set is one of the best sets to come out recently and I'm so glad for this.
September 15, 2017 12:44 p.m.
Like I know some rares I want for each of my EDH decks already, not even including the flip enchantment cycles.
September 15, 2017 12:47 p.m.
This set is a much-needed return to form. We're really starting to include hate cards in standard and some boundaries are being pushed.
September 15, 2017 12:54 p.m.
I drew up a quick sketch of what this deck could look like, the spell package seems a little off but there seems to be a ton of potential here in resource denial and advantages... Thoughts? I'll build a dino stompy example later tonight. The other 2 tribes don't seem impressive enough theoretically to put them into an actual deck

I don't think vampires warrant their own tribal deck, but I believe merfolk may bestronger that you think. They have a lot of their own protection, making removal difficult, as well as a lot of sustainability. I think you can make them fairly good at go wide

Actually considered Ritual of Rejuvenation over Honor's Reward in my Accent-Accord deck.

Dang! I am so turning my g/w life gain into Abzan! Thank you Wizards for providing us life-gain players with something good!
September 15, 2017 4:07 p.m.
Huh, I was expecting to see some transform cards at lower rarities.
September 15, 2017 6:43 p.m.
TezzeretofCarmot21 they've given us plenty in past sets too, but I'm also pumped for what we got here
September 15, 2017 7:31 p.m.
RDW has gotten so many new tools that it's becoming ridiculous.
By ridiculous, I mean fucking amahzing.
September 16, 2017 2:10 a.m.
I'm seeing a lot of combat tricks and a lot of keywords on creatures. People are going to be swinging for the hills! Grab all the removal you can find!
I'm hoping to go to two prerelease events; including talking a buddy into 2HG. Imagine the tribal presence in two packs. Each person can rock a different faction for maximum flavor !
I agree that red is looking suuuper strong. It's being supported by two tribes leaving you with pyromancer pirates lampin' alongside Velociraptors

Captain Sisay, I just realized, NOW CAN GRAB PLANESWALKERS.

Ritual of Rejuvenation any better than Honor's Reward? Card draw over bolster?

Not sure where else to put this, but can someone please add Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort to the card list? Been waiting to brew with it forever.

Is there still going to be a double-faced card in every pack?
September 16, 2017 2:14 p.m.
Same here, when will we have all cards in the Deck Builder?Can someone ad Prying Blade (currently inaktive, gets added to the list without the card, just white text).
And Costly Plunder would be awesome aswell
September 16, 2017 2:15 p.m.
The DFCs take up the rare slot in the pack since there are only 10 of them.

Actually I don't really mind this card too much, it looks worse because we are getting Lightning Strike but for limited and maybe even some kind of raid deck it could find a home, 3 mana 3 damage has become the sad norm and at least this one almost has an upside.
