If you put Emrakul into play with the Boar, wouldn't that skip the Annihilator trigger? Because I'm pretty sure it does since both are attack triggers, except Emrakul is already past that point when she's put into play.
Living Twister is a GSZ-able Seismic Assault (although alot more mana intensive). The body is pretty sturdy to boot. Could this see play in 4C Loam as a GSZ target? I also wonder why they made the tapped land restriction. Even if an untapped land is target of LD, you could always tap it for mana in response and then return it. Maybe I'm missing something like corner cases, but that seems like an unnecessary design hoop you have to jump through.

So the paper gets bent around the shittiness of Arena's interface.
As somebody pointed out on Twitter, the Boar combines rather well with Master of Cruelties for a potential instakill.
Worldspine Wurm is most likely an instant kill too, except it's actually good on it's own off of a Sneak or Through the Breach, whereas Master of Cruelties is crap without Ilharg.
EDIT: Actually, Master of Cruelties is also crap if they can block it...
It's already present for the last few sets. They even changed Ajani's Pridemate.
So far this hasn't been bad, for what I know. But in some regards it could impose limits to what they're willing to do.
I see the importance of streamlining the (digital) gameplay and preventing unintended clicking mistakes.
Let's just hope it doesn't lead to too much dumbing down the game.
All glory to the Hypno Boar God!
Funny, Ilharg acts as replacement for Hazoret in the god cycle in this set. How long does WotC plan ahead again? :) Is the myth of the Raze Boar a newer retcon or has it been part of Gruul since the first Ravnica set?
What's better than one Jace TMS on the battlefield? Two Jace.

I'm not sure why WotC is now interested in printing playable new potential combo enablers, but I can tell you one thing for sure:
I like it.
