    @Barook: I'd much prefer it to just be Karn vs Phyrexian carnage. The whole Superfriends thing is getting old - we need to see some Karn vs Bolas too. Dominaria is ripe for new lore, alternate reality stuff, inadvertent return of Yawgmoth and or Brothers. Maybe finally a way to give us the Urza Planeswalker card we've been dreaming of?

    @ Cire: A Phyrexian Planeswalker would be awesome. As far as what happened post-mending on Dominaria, it's kind of vague. There's been a lot of carnage and death, and it's probably ripe for a bunch of lore-inspired stuff that could get people like me really excited. It's still the nexus of the multiverse (I think) so stuff probably has to go down there at some point again anyway.

    It is probably just a so far unknown person.

    No, please no. That would be even more cheesy and childish as the Jacetice Leage, and that on top of what we already have. It would also further reduce story variance if the antagonists were all members of the same group. :/

    That Tezzeret story is sooo lame, he's just an angry boy that didn't get what he wanted. Nobody listened to him and now he wants revenge.... he's like those madmen in the US that guns down people in the malls.

    There has to be a way to break Scrap Trawler. First thing that comes to mind is Thopter Foundry, Sotm, Lotus Petal and Trawler for infinite activations :P

    @Trophy Mage: What are good 3-mana artifacts worth fetching? Aside from Trinisphere and all the other Stax shenanigans.

    I wonder if the "cast cheaper spells for free" is a one-shot card or an actual theme in the set and if there are any Eternal-worthy spells.

    You can recur LED with this right? If so you can basically go the bomberman route of LED for infinite mana -> something. Not sure what the something is though. I'm also not sure that combo is actually better than bomberman.

    Mage is a stax ALL STAR. Ensnaring Bridge, Crucible, Trinisphere, Tangle Wire...Metalworker?

    Vedalken Shackles also, if blue stax is viable.

    It's lesser mana cost, not equal or lesser, unfortunately

    It can get both Painter's Servant and Grindstone.

    Oops. Reading is key. I thought it said 3 or less.

    Yahanni's Expertise looks pretty awesome. I'm wondering though. So because the -3/-3 effect is first on the card, can you cast say a Dark Confidant with the free part of the spell and it wouldn't die to your Expertise?

    I wonder if anyone will try this with Hypergenesis or Ancestral Visions (in Shardless BUG). Hypergenesis seems busted although those decks right now are RUG colors right now.

    Most of my Stax deck is three. The issue is we just got Fair, that you can loop with Crucible.
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    There's a red creature in that pic that is difficult to make out.

    Appears to be:

    Quicksmith Rebel
    Creature - Human Artificer
    When Quicksmith Rebel enters the
    battlefield, target artifact (you control?)
    gains "T: This artifact (deals N damage?)
    to target creature or (player” as long?)
    as you control Quicksmith Rebel.
    Unknown P/T

    Also, looks like Ajani and Tezzeret will be the planeswalkers in this set.

    I guess Bob would be fine. Although I would prefer playing a LotV after cleaning the battlefield.
