I just think it's ironic that 6 months ago they were bitching about how important the slow reveal of spoiler season was, and now they just drop presumably the biggest spoiler of the set on day 1. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit and Emrakul is just a giant, mythic, overpowered distraction, or like thedogue said, just setting the stage for the return of Marit Lage.
I have to sig this!Quote:

This, combined with WOTC's scheduled release plan, meant that there was 2-3 weeks of speculation on the symbol before anyone could confirm what it actually meant. The Kozilek was bigger than just "we knew Emmy was coming". It was a major new change that not only affected the new set, but also cards from the past 22 years, and WOTC didn't get to roll that out themselves.Quote:

"During a game, players may look at their own sideboard and the sideboard of any players they currently control. The sideboard must remain clearly distinguishable from other cards."
As of Eldritch Moon, this rule is changing. Simply put, you can now never see an opponent's sideboard, even if you control that opponent. The exact language of the rule is being finalized.

If you force a player you're controlling to cast a "Wish," you can't have them access any cards in their sideboard. If you make them cast Death Wish, the same rule applies: no cards, even at random sight unseen.
Its not that much of an informational advantage because for the most part, you probably already know how your opponent is going to board against you.Quote:

Shit, I can even remember a game that I lost because the opponent had 1x Nihil Spellbomb, 1x Extirpate and 1x Surgical Extraction. I went off turn 0 and was met with Surgical Extraction on Griselbrand.
Post has since been removed so maybe they're rolling this one back.Quote:

I refuse to believe they are going to print this garbage, this is far too much.
Actually of all the new mechanics they've had I kind of like this one. I always wanted an Exodia in Magic, and the Kaldra set wasn't Megazord enough for me. It'll make some interesting cube cards probably.Quote:
