    [INN] cards found in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 code

    There have been hidden decklists found in the code for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, which include previously unknown card names and art.

    Speculation states that these cards are from M12, but judging by the art (they all share an imperialistic/colonnial plane flavour), it's pretty safe to assume these come from a plane yet to be disclosed, ergo, from a new set - Innistrad.

    If I were you I'd save the page before Wizards asks it to be put down (if they ever do that). I'll leave you with the spoiled cards:

    Skirsdag Cultist 2RR
    Creature - Human Shaman (U)
    T, Sacrifice a creature: Skirsdag Cultist deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
    2/2
    "Within blood is life. Within life is fire. Within fire is the path to our master's glory!"
    Artist: Slawomir Maniak

    Murder of Crows 3UU
    Creature - Bird (U)
    Flying
    Whenever another creature dies, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card.
    4/4
    Even more than carrion, they crave the last words of the dying.
    Artist: Drew Baker

    Spectral Rider WW
    Creature - Spirit Knight (U)
    Intimidate
    2/2
    Never a word. Never a warning. Only the sound of hoofbeats along the crossways, and the screams of the avenged.
    Artist: Igor Kieryluk

    Wreath of Geists G
    Enchantment - Aura (U)
    Enchant creature
    Enchanted creature gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard.
    Before you travel the woods of Kessig, get permission from those who died trying.
    Artist: Jason A. Engle

    Angelic Destiny 2WW
    Enchantment - Aura (M)
    Enchanted creature gets +4/+4, has flying and first strike, and is an Angel in addition to its other types.
    When enchanted creature dies, return Angelic Destiny to its owner's hand.
    Artist: Jana Schirmer

    (most interesting amongst the spoiler cards)

    Moan of the Unhallowed 2BB
    Sorcery (U)
    Put two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield.
    Flashback
    For a ghoul, every village is a buffet and every disaster is a reunion.
    Artist: Nils Hamm

    Bloodgift Demon 3BB
    Creature - Demon (R)
    Flying
    At the beginning of your upkeep, target player draws one card and loses 1 life.
    He relishes the devotion of his Skirsdag puppets and their belief that it will earn them immortality.
    4/4
    Artist: Peter Mohrbacher


    Amongst the newly-discovered art and names is a planeswalker named Ral Zarek, which definitly seems like a planeswalker straight out from the Izzet guild. UR planeswalker anyone?

    The cards are nothing special, but I absolutely love the art. I like the direction this set is headed in...

    yeah, seriously, I honestly can't remember universally loving the art for any set this much, all the pics seen so far are just ungodly awesome.

    Re: [INN] cards found in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 code

    Skirsdag Cultist 2RR
    This means "Veil Day" or "Gossamer Day" Cultists in Swedish. /pointless trivia

    I like Bloodgift Demon the most of those cards. A classical weakness of midrange decks is hitting the right mixture of threats vs. answers vs. card advantage, so any card that does double duty is very welcome. The slower B/x decks that would have loved an Arena on legs preferred to go creatureless, but there might be enough good meat in the last few sets to have enough removal bait to give it a chance to stick.

    Budget black core:

    4 Top
    3 Inquisition of Kozilek
    2 Duress
    Should test Dark Ritual, it traditionally sucked maindecked in these lists but it's probably needed today, and there might be enough CA in the deck to make it work

    4 Mind Stone (with Obliterator?)
    4 Shriekmaw
    4 Hymn

    4 Gatekeeper of Malakir
    3-4 Phyrexian Arena

    2 Consuming Vapors
    3 Phyrexian Obliterator

    2 Bloodgift Demon
    2-3 Tombstalker

    1 Sorin Markov

    Meh. Probably better as UB or BG, this thing would have a tough time against a resolved Jace, let alone any combo whatsoever.

    Nothing too special so far.

    But it's interesting to see the return of the Rancor mechanic and Flashback.

    Along with the rest of those cards, it looks like we're in for another graveyard-themed block.

    5 mana for a phyrexian arena thats also a 4/4 flyer seems like a pretty good deal to me.

    Most Magic art is pretty good at 4x size, it's only lackluster squeezed onto a tiny piece of cardboard. But the flavor does look very interesting to this set. And I'm glad Flashback is back.

    By the looks of things, Dredge might get some interesting cards to play with. Although, things can go both ways -- some new hate could be printed as well.

    I doubt they print strong graveyard hate in a graveyard-centered block.

    Between Crypt, Ravenous Trap, Leyline, Relic of Progenitus and Faerie Macabre I'm really not sure what other hate they could possibly print that would hurt Dredge. It's already ridiculous if the opponent doesn't have hate, and falls apart in the face of these massively powerful, mostly free hosers.

    If Flashback is coming back, Quiet Speculation might see a price spike. Better get them now!
    I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

    His deck has been discovered to be UR (elementals with a tad of burn), so I think it's pretty safe to assume he's going to be red and blue. It'll be interesting to see his abilities.

    Time to see duals with a drawback based on graveyards? Those could be really playable in legacy thanks to fetchlands, i really hope so.

    Re: [INN] cards found in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 code

    I'm very excited for this set. I started playing during INV-PLS so I remember Odyssey block very fondly. So many cards with value! Call of the Herd, 2 elephants from 1 card! So good!

    I really like the Gothic theme this set seems to have. Murder of Crows is such a good name for a card. And look at those zombies, so cool! DO WANT.

    They wasted a perfectly good name on a terrible card.

    I actually made a much better version of the same concept back when I used to post on the MTGSal card creation contests, imo.

    Also, did they really make "dies" a thing just to gothify this set?

    No, they made "dies" a thing because "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield" takes ELEVEN times as many characters.

    I will believe this if there are not as many "Whenever a creature dies" cards in this set as there look to be in this set.

    I really like the whole civilized/more modern fantasy art direction like we saw with ravnica. Hopefully there will be a demon in a top hat or something...

    I started around that time as well, my first deck was the pre-constructed RB from Odissey block.

    ' discard Roar of the Wurm '
    ' play the flashback, 6/6 token, go '
    ' land, Chainer's Edict ur token '

    I miss those times. My deck totally sucked but i was pretty happy with it anyways haha

    This gothic-themed art looks amazing, as well as the flashback concept returning. I cant wait to see this new edition.

    It'd be sick if Cabal Therapy got reprinted in Innistrad.
