Can someone explain this? Something doesn't seem right.
Look at the top 10 cards of your library and exile up to 2 creature cards.
Opponent gets 1 of the exiled cards
Your get the rest of the exiled cards...which is going to be 1 or 0. and the one you get is always going to be worse since opponent gets first pick...
OR
Your opponent gets 1 of the exiled creatures and you get the rest of the creatures in the top 10?
This is one of those cards where I want to wait for the actual FAQ to come out for, before I judge it. The key is in that final clause. Does it apply to the whole thing, or just the exiled cards? Also, I kind of wish this wasn't optional for the opponent.
Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia
Step 1: Look at the top 10 cards of your library. Those cards aren't going anywhere, you're just looking at them.
Step 2: Exile 0, 1 or 2 creature cards from those 10 cards. The other cards you looked at but didn't exile are still on the top of your library.
Step 3: Shuffle your library. The cards you didn't exile are now shuffled into your library.
Step 4: An opponent picks 0 or 1 of those exiled cards and puts it on the battlefield under his/her control.
Step 5: You get whatever you exiled that your opponent did not pick, i.e. the other 0, 1 or 2 creature cards.
Do we really need a FAQ for this? A RTFC should suffice. Let it sink in for a moment, chop it up into smaller chunks, let it sink in again.
Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia
If it was not the first 10 cards but the whole deck it could have been a good combo with Boseiju, Emrakul Terastodon and Homeward Path, Crop Rotation, Loam, Gamble
It would have been just lands + that card perfect for a combo land shell

It does seem like they're throttling back on the superfluous ability words this set, which is an improvement IMO. They could easily have hung a lampshade on a large part of the artifacts matter theme by calling all the abilities out with a label like 'metalcount'.
Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia
The last one:
http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/...0272282915.png
Combustible Gearhulk :4::r::r:
Artifact Creature - Construct (Mythic Rare)
First Strike
When Cumbustible Gearhulk enters the battlefield, target opponent may have you draw 3 cards.
If the player doesn't, put the top three cards of your library unto your graveyard,
then Combustible Gearhulk deals damage to that player equal to the total converted mana cost of those cards.
6/6

Man. . . what would be the requirements of that build to have at least 1 artifact by turn 2, maybe 3 artifacts by turn 3-4 and still have enough spells to flip delver consistently :eek:

I guess 'flavor-wise' these are the inventions appearing at the fair...
Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia
Looks like expeditions are going to start becoming a consistent thing in future sets.

I could see D&T, maybe, but certainly not Delver, way too much tension between enough Artifacts and enough Instants/Sorceries. I don't think Mentor would want this in Vintage, even at it's best a 3/2 First Strike isn't really all that great...
Thinking more on it though, I don't see how you fit it in to D&T without cutting a 2 drop and those are the bread and butter of the deck.

Let me be the first to say ugh. Neat idea for people who are into that sort of thing, but it ultimately feels like a blatant cash grab that still does actual nothing for eternal formats.

I know it's a cash grab, but that art is SUPERB. These artifacts are gorgeous. Kudos to Wizards!

I already love them. 54 to collect.
Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia
Can't wait to see what the coppery foiling process looks like in person. It'll be nice to have a constant stream of powerful cards in blocks even if they are at super-mythic rarity. Things like port, liliana, and jace are all great options to have and not being redeemable is good for MTGO, bfz expeditions aren't much more expensive than the cheap versions online.
