    So does anyone think it's worth it to pick up Eye of Ugin yet? Also, these aren't artifacts, so is colorless a new "color"? For example in Vintage you couldn't Tinker this into play, right?

    What do you fail to understand? That Tinker can't search for non artifact cards?

    It's not an artifact so you can't tinker for it. Too bad that would be hilarious attacking and blowing up my opponents board.

    So anyone think that Walking Atlas is going to be errata-ed back to printed wording?

    If all the colorless spells have that kinda see-through border, it'll be a nice looking set.

    While the fatty is cool and all, what excites me more if the possibility of a cheaper creature with Annihilator 1 that can come out fast and lock people out.

    Doubt it. Read the flavour text and the subtype: it's clearly a construct, not a Lovecraft rip-off.

    This is kind of weak, actually. You guys do realize the reason that Iona and Progenitus dominate the giant creature portion of this format is that they're immune or can be immune to Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile, right?

    Considering since the card is currently useless and sells for $5+ online, I think a lot of people think the Eye is worth picking up.

    as for the preview: the gimmick they used to show it off was MaRo 100%. I liked it.

    I think it is the potential of more Legacy applicable Eldrazi that have people interested. That and it is always fun to think about the best case senario.

    I am itching to sleeve these up so that some lucky scrub can netdeck the list already.

    Iona can be reanimated, Progenitus can be Natural Ordered. Kozilek isn't supposed to compete with them; his partners are stuff like Metalworker and Sneak Attack, with which those other guys don't really work very well.

Seems like Wizards finally took the hint from player who are playing with altered cards.
    I think they are going to just use these for the Eldrazi, sadly. The card looks awesome and great for EDH/Sneak Attack decks though.

    Is the art going through the whole card real? Or is it just an after effect of the animations they used? They could just have put a translucent card frame on top of the art to keep the whole picture intact, but was it stated that that's how it will be printed?

    Considerung how special the Eldrazi are, I see no reason why it shouldn't look like that. People love fancy-looking things.

    With Painter in play, this guy's green as is Painter. Does that make it better than Progenitus? I'm not going to make that call, just sayin'.

    If this does see a hardcast (doubtful), I don't think people would care, as you get to draw the 4 cards anyways.

    Anyhow, Eye of Ugin is sold out everywhere at the moment. Haha, $20 mythic from online stores. Fun.

    Fist of the suns seems good with eldrazi..... If there's a bunch of good ones like this we could simply have a deck that search's for fist, alliterates to WUBRG and then just beats down with eldrazi...

    am I the only person who realized that this is #6 in the set?
    This means that there's at least 6 Eldrazi or colorless non-artifacts...
