We get info on this tomorrow at 2 PM Pacific time. Probably just the themes of the decks for now, but all C18 info and spoilers can be posted here.
Don't get your hopes up for Legacy playables. :wink:

I choose to interpret this as confirmation that OG duals are being reprinted.Quote:

What to expect for Legacy:
Nic Fit Card
Probably 1 DnT Hatebear
Nic Fit Card
1 probably playable Ux card
More Nic Fit cards
You forgot to include cards that fit into various Stax or Stompy decks.Quote:

Nic Fit is the new Stax. :tongue:Quote:

:2:, Tap: Draw a card. Activate this ability only if you control at least three lands with the same name.
Quote:
Aminatou, the Fateshifter - WUB
Loyalty: 3
+1: Draw a card, then put a card from your hand on top of your library.
-1: Exile another target permanent you own, then return it to the battlefield under your control.
-6: Choose left or right. Each player gains control of all nonland permanents other than Aminatou, the Fateshifter controlled by the next player in the chosen direction.
Aminatou, the Fateshifter can be your commander.
Quote:
Lord Windgrace - 2BRG
Loyalty: 5
+2: Discard a card, then draw a card. If a land card is discarded this way, draw an additional card.
-3: Return up to 2 target land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield
-11: Destroy up to six target nonland permanents, then create six 2/2 green Cat Warrior creature tokens with forestwalk.
Lord Windgrace can be your commander.
Quote:
Estrid, the Masked - 1GWU
Loyalty: 3
+2: Untap each enchanted permanent you control.
-1: Create a white Aura enchantment token named Mask attached to another target permanent. The token has enchant permanent and totem armor.
-7: Put the top seven cards of your library into your graveyard. Return all non-Aura enchantment cards from your graveyard to the battlefield, then do this also for Aura cards.
Estrid, the Masked can be your commander.

Saheeli, the Gifted - 2UR
Loyalty: 4
+1: Create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token.
+1: The next spell you cast this turn costs 1 less to cast for each artifact you control as you cast it.
-7: For each artifact you control, creature a token that's a copy of it. Those tokens gain haste. Exile those tokens at the beginning of the next end step.
The PW are not impressive.Their pictures are sorta odd.Quote:

Saheeli might be decent? She can come down and +1 and immediately drop an artifact like say an ensnaring Bridge? I dunno if she's actually good enough though. In Grixis Tez I'd rather have Tez and probably Dack first.

This thing will be insane in Commander, but also could see Vintage play.
That seems pretty win more: You have to have her and a bunch of artifacts in play, when you could just cast the bridge instead.Quote:

Any useful applications for this?
Varchild's War-Riders seems just plain better for that.Quote:

Mostly, Rings of Brighthearth or Strionic Resonator would also work in its place.
I think I like Varchild over Rabblemaster that's seeing play. They fill similar roles, but the Varchild Tokens can't fight back.
Varchild can do fun stuff with Artificial Evolution, either fogging an attack or branding stuff when he leaves play.
Rabblemaster's key advantage is that you can use its tokens to attack under your own Ensnaring Bridge. Can't really say the same with Varchild.Quote:

Expensive, yes, but the ability to nuke all flyers could have applications. Maybe. The price tag is still step if it isn't cheated into play.
I like this alot in a NicFit shell with Tireless trackers and scrambling clues into Blightsteel or Inkwell Leviathon as the only artifacts.Quote:

It wouldn't be a whole artifact route which I feel shape anew is more geared towards, was mostly thinking for Blightsteel as a payoff only at first and added Inkwell as a hard to kill second option. Was already dabbling around with trackers and a large threat vs drawing a random card is better. Plus could turn dead explorers into threats late game as well with any of the other creatures.Quote:

Bonus round for being a complete, politically incorrect asshat:
Ferocidon + Varchild's War-Riders + Ensnaring Bridge = you literally kill your opponent by drowning them in survivor tokens while you hide behind your Bridge. I call it "Refugee Stompy". :really: :tongue:
Add an Elspeth and call it "German Refugee Stompy" for maximum accuracy.Quote:

You probably don't want to Reality Scramble into another Gilded Drake, though.
At the very least this is incredibly cool. A land you can cast!
