Wtf. I was all set to pre-order my foil playset of Mox Amethyst.

[quicksilver]

Mox Amethyst 3
Artifact (R)

Delve (You may exile any number of cards from your graveyard as you cast this spell. It costs 1 less to cast for each card exiled this way.)
Tap: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

Illus. Alan Pollack
213/249

I just looked at the MTGSalvation and found this card. Seems awesome. Lets pretend, for the sake of discussion, that this is real. Wowzers. This seems really good at enabling multicolor Control decks. Mana of any color with no card disadvantage associated with the other Moxes. Obvious great synergy with Fetchlands (What doesn't these days?) and cantrips. Could also see play in some sort of Dredge based deck be it Ichorid or Aggro Loam.

Perhaps it will enable something else all together. What do you guys think?

That card seems insane and can be used in a wide variety of deck. Aggro being the only archetype that may have trouble using it. It seems absolutely busted in combo, easily replacing cabal ritual. Ad Nausuem loves initial mana sources if you can't float mana after going off, of course it does make you take 3 damage off of the ad nauseum which might negate it's usefulness.

I'm going to go ahead and hope this card is not real. I'd hate to see yet another card that can go in almost every deck.

[Skeggi]

Card has been declared as fake in mtgsalvation.

[Amon Amarth]

It's a fake.

These fakers are getting pretty good. It's getting hard to tell what's legit anymore.

[Malchar]

[DrJones]

It's a pity, because I could have actually used that delve mox in a lot of decks. :(

[Pastorofmuppets]

I'm happy the mox isn't being printed just because it gives the Hypergenesis fanboys something else to rave about

ITS A TRAP! ADMIRAL ACKBAR STYLE!

[Barook]

Whiplash Trap
Instant — Trap
If an opponent had 2 or more creatures enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, you may pay rather than Whiplash Trap’s casting cost.
Return two target creatures to their owner's hand.

Why does "enter the battlefield" sound so horrible? And that entire trap thing sounds way too much Yugioh for a conditional alternative cost.

[GGoober]

what are the thoughts on the trap card? Seems like a decent sideboard card for Tempo Thresh against Zoo/tribal/Goblins.

[mOxMoNgEr]

Kor Sanctifiers 2{W}
Creature — Kor Cleric
Kicker {W}
When Kor Sanctifiers enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, destroy target artifact or enchantment.
2/3
Artist: Dan Scott

If it was kicked?... O_O... i know that Wotc want magic to be more flavorfull but... kicked?The trap card seem nice, but in the end, even for U double unsummon will forever stay double unsummon

[Aggro_zombies]

Oh god, this is so awesome. I look forward to belting out "YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!!!!!" at the Prerelease while drop-kicking various Kicker cards onto the table.

Yesssssssss.

EDIT: "NOT SO FAST, KEIBA!!!!!"

[Pastorofmuppets]

So am I the only person who's gettin a bad feeling from Wizards spoiling basic lands first to build hype? It seems pretty weak to me.

Meh, it's always the same. There's usually a handful of good cards that come out of each set and stay around for years as staples. I never expect some amazing, kick ass, 50+ playable staples.

[quicksilver]

LOL KICKED!

Also:



Those cards couldn't possibly be real.

[Zlatzman]

Seems shaky. "if it was kicked" is a strange wording and "If an opponent had 2 or more creatures enter the battlefield under his or her control" wont work as worded as it doesn't specify when those creatures entered the battlefield. This turn? Current phase? Also, shouldn't it include the word "has", as in "an opponent has had 2 or more ..."?

The whole trap-thing is fairly flavorful though, I fully expect cards with "Protection from Traps" if Traps are in Zendikar.

[LostButSeeking]

The card names, at least, have been confirmed by other posters. Those are four Zendikar cards in the planechase decks. And even if the wording is off, that could be attributed to the poster frantically scribbling down the card and getting the wording a little off.

[coraz86]

If it was kicked?... O_O... i know that Wotc want magic to be more flavorfull but... kicked?

If they were really more interested in flavor than function, the kicker wouldn't be W (in that case); cards that do something when kicked would actually have to receive blunt force trauma from your foot.

That'd be a good excuse to bring back denimwalk (a spell with denimwalk and kicker would be countered if it hit your jeans while you were casting it). It would also introduce new flavor to 'casting,' as they'd mean 'cast' in the sense of vigorously tossing your Lightning Bolt/Cruel Ultimatum/Goatnapper.

One would hope then that they don't misunderstand people talking about permanents 'sticking' and introduce bubble gum to the packs.

/rant

On a more serious note, I believe MaRo stated at some point this past spring that Zendikar was supposed to have an Aztec feel. It'd be kind of cool if they returned to the flavor they had in Mirage, they haven't done a jungle-esque theme in a while.

And even if the wording is off, that could be attributed to the poster frantically scribbling down the card and getting the wording a little off.

This, I hope. The overall flavor and the mechanics all seem fine and good, I guess. Nothing mind blowing so far.

[bruno_tiete]

Trap cards give me some hope to dodge Counterbalances in a new way.

What if we get something like this:

2GG - Trap Hull Breach
Instant - Trap
You may play ~ for G if you had a spell countered this turn.
Destroy target Enchantment and/or Artifact.


Of course, if it's a subtype, there must be some new rules attached to it.
