Zendikar Resurgent spoilers: Eldrazi Need Not Apply

Our first official look is on the 25th:
https://twitter.com/maro254/status/1...546678784?s=19
But a few leaks have surfaced:
DFC land/creatures where you choose as you play them instead of transforming them.
And landfall GB Nissa
https://images.app.goo.gl/TzA3ooLpozqTRFfRA
Landfall: add a loyalty
+1: One of your lands becomes a 3/3 menace haste until eot
-5: drop a creature into play with a cmc less than your land count. Add 2 +1/+1 counters

Assuming accurate, that Nissa is great anti-walker tech in a ramp deck. So, UGB becomes the new default? Nissa, Uro, etc? Cultivate is huge, and with the duals gone, having a tri-land is pretty important for mana.

EDIT: for standard, not eternal formats.

I wonder into which deck Nissa could fit. Both her landfall and resurrection ability work very well with Loam.

Just gonna load up this wastes with a ton of counters so hold your push until it's a 20/20

From what I've read on social media, aside from Nissa, we're also getting Jace as walker. And the trailer suggests that Nahiri is going to be the third one.

Makes sense to me - Nissa is BG, Jace is U, Nahiri would be WR, covering all five colors.

Also, if spoilers start next week, when are we going to get the Commander Legends spoilers? :confused:

Presumeably after, Commander legends I thought was slated for november.
They might also run them concurrent like they did with Jumpstart

They'll probably invent new products so that we can have continuous spoilers all year.
Don't ask questions, just consume product and get excited for new product.
All hail the mighty dollar.

Looks like my predictions from yesterday were right.

Man, the borderless art of the new Nahiri is so much better than the regular art.

Also, new Jace, this time with Kicker:

That Jace is pretty cool and probably better than it looks but unfortunately Uro.

I’m hoping for zero Legacy playable cards

If you can play it with Kicker, it's a pretty serious draw/scry engine - 2x Scry 2 every turn can dig pretty deep. Additional copies can also create more duplicates. It can't protect itself, but then again, it has up to 5 starting loyality. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out better than it initially looks.

I'm hoping for additions to D&T (although that's very unlikely) - that Thalia is still the gold standard for white weenies is ridiculous, given how much everything else has been powercrept.

Finally some PWs who are reasonably costed/stat-ed and don't have oppressive abilities.

Jace is actually really neat since you can scry for a land and draw it with the copy.
Probably not eternal playable but still neat.
Makes me wish not elder dragon highlander was still a thing.
The wording is strange though since cards are normally not "drawn" this way but revealed and then put into the hand to avoid miracle like problems.

Nahiri might be playable as 1-off in Stoneblade to outvalue removal. 4 mana is still a lot though.

The tokens can't make their own tokens because they're not spells and can't be kicked. Otherwise they're go infinite.

Play jace, kick it, make a copy.
Draw another jace , play it, kick it, make a copy.
Since the jace are legendary but the copies are not, you end up with one jace and two copies.

Or bounce Jace and recast it, kicked, to make another Jace.
That kind of durdle seems better in Commander then Legacy though.

Card copies make duplicate tokens. Hence the different use of copy and duplicate.

But it's so inefficient. You get 3 Jaces from 2 cards. If you just played out the 1st Jace, let it die normally (e.g. using the 0 ability), then played the 2nd Jace, you would get 4 Jaces from 2 cards. The nonlegendary clause does let you get another token copy, but it's card disadvantage compared to using it normally.

Yeah but getting a lasting token makes multiple copies of this Jace better than multiple copies of other planeswalkers that don't have lasting effects.

The important thing is that now we can kick Jace.

Maro’s Zendikar Rising Teaser

Before previews for Zendikar Rising officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• A white creature that can make an opponent lose the game simply by attacking them no matter how much life they have

• A multicolor creature that lets you repeatedly reanimate permanents out of your opponent’s graveyard for no mana

• Three creatures with five creature types

• An artifact granting +2/+2 to a subset of creatures that first appeared in Alpha

• X being used for a variable it’s never been used for before

• a 6/6 artifact creature that costs 3 and a 7/5 artifact creature that can cost 3

• The return of four mana symbols that have each only ever been used on two cards before

• Lands that come with a choice you’ve never had before

• Targeted enchantment removal in black

• A red/white creature with a line of rules text that starts with “Whenever” and ends with “draw a card”

• A card with three different activated abilities that all copy something

Here are snippets of rules text, you’ll see:

• “three plus”

• “different converted mana cost X or less”

• “equal to 20 minus”

• “Cowards can’t block Warriors”

• “don’t lose unspent red mana”

• “twice the number of equipment”

• “If it’s the third time”

And finally, here are some creature type lines you’ll see:

• Mouse

• Leviathan Crab

• Shapeshifter Rogue

• Demon Cleric

• Wurm Horror

• Hydra Horror

• Cat Horror

• Angel Wizard

• “Cowards can’t block Warriors”

On Zendikar?
More like "Cowards can't block Korriors"

Korrection: Korwards can’t block korriors...

I think players will inkor a lot of damage if their creatures can’t block. It’s a hardkor drawback. If they can’t en-korage those creatures or at least korral them into place, it’s kortains for sure. Blocking is that much of a kornerstone of Magic.

The best korse will be to inkorporate other defenses in one’s decks. Still, whoever has the advantage in combat will give no korter.

So, no enkore?

I find it korious that they’d release another Kor Set so soon after M2021. It’s hard to stay korrent. Still, I have a hankoring for seeing more of the new cards.

Ikoria, a Kor Set, and Zendikor is a lot of rekorrence. They should be korful with it, that’s all.

Your tone is skornful and korrelsome, but korantining the thread may not be a bad idea. Can't let the rest of the forum become korrupted.

So a korentine thread?

RULES:
Counts as only the front-facing side of the card in every zone except in play (so it does not count as a land in your library/hand/graveyard).

CAN mystical tutor for a land now, since it's an Instant.

I kind of wish these had simpler names. Like just "Rocks" or "Seas" and made them common throughout the set.

Anyways, looks like they have made EDH into standard with Companions, and now No-Land magic is going to standard.
Oh, and obviously manaless dredge can now run mana, this plus LED is a good way to start the dredging.

EDIT EDIT:
Assuming they work like the other leak I saw where you can choose to put this into play as the land instead of casting the spell. Your rules blurb is a little incomplete.
