I'm gonna go on record as saying that I think Beseech will be an Ambition's Cost. Paying BBB for 3 cards and 3 life seems pretty fair (Contracts be damned!) and having to crank six mana and three life for three cards also seems fair.

Necropotence much?Quote:

Or you can let people speculate, as this is the thread to do it in, and if you don't like it don't read the thread.
I don't think that Beseech the Queen will be Ambition's Cost, I think it will be some kind of draw spell that will change depending on how much mana or colored mana is paid for it.
That's an interesting concept.Quote:

Awww. That means it sucks with Bob and Counterbalance.Quote:

If so, can someone update those of us with weekend jobs that hate Extended? Thanks.
I also found it interesting that Mark Rosewater also stated that the set was roughly 7/15 hybrid (all allied colors). Thats a lot of hybrid.
*Ahem*
Internet, I was wrong about the CMC of Beseech the Queen. Let us never speak of it again.
Now, let us all misbuild our manabases!
(Also, Shards of Alara?)

Some more card art from magictutor.com
Could that be a Contraption?
It looks more like a construct, similar to one seen in the third batch of images (on page 1).
Although it's possible, it's unlikely. Shadowmoor will be hybrid based, and contains mostly coloured cards. This means that there would be little room for an ability that artifact heavy. I assume that contraptions will be in a steam punk set, if they ever appear.Quote:

I've seen this in some spanish forums and didn't seen it here. Anyway it's just a crap common.

Aydunno, but there are some amazing "Español" Source cards there, if you care to break out your dictionary.
Actually that card was shown as fake a while back on MTGS , it's not even a good fake.
This forest of mine glows with an awesome powers!

Yeah, this was confirmed a fake a while back. I believe that Nightmare even deleted a post containing this card because it was fake.Quote:

Cool. That was my favorite one in the cycle.
I hope that Beseech the Queen, is a dumb card for black. I'd love another broken card for TES. Not another card that didn't make the cut, coughSlithermusecough...
I love a card that has "Protection from non-Legacy".
So Reflecting Pool will be in type 2 again. Should be fun, I love that card.
Now they'll print the whole cycle. Drool. Cairns and Horizon Canopy are the only dual lands in a long time which can even be superior to the originals for some purposes, so this is pretty cool. (On the minus side, it means they aren't giving us the Axis fetches just yet.)Quote:

Im guessing that God-awful 2 mana 1/1 lifelink Kithkin from FS will get reprinted, its art looks like a lot of the art from this block iirc.
Tarmogoyf will never, ever be reprinted.Quote:

Am I close?
So the Orb for Shadowmoor is up, I threw in a few words to see what pops up:
Planeswalker = 0
Tribal = 0
Changling = 0
Oona = 1
Queen = 2 (Beseech the Queen is 1)
Land = 42
Basic = 23
Legendary = 6
Equipment = 3
Goblin = 19
Elf = 23
Kithkin = 21
Now this doesn't mean there will be 19 goblins in the set or 21 Kithkin. It just means the word appears that many times...I think I figured out there will be 20 non-basic land due to the fact we know there are 20 basics. I don't see how there could be 23...The other 3 occurrences of the word basic will probably just refer to basic land...
...and I just had to enter:
Rigger = 0
Contraption = 0
O well
You must be some kind of a sorceror!Quote:
