    Other spoilers depict Gideon and Nissa fighting with eldrazis.

    I thought Gideon was supposed to look like Bruce Willis:



    But then Magic Origins happened. Now he looks more like this guy:

    Wotc Tweet

    "Here's another look at some of the allies we'll see in #MTGBFZ... what's that in Kiora's hand? "

    Two things:
    1. "allies" - seems like a phrasing WotC wouldn't do on accident - probable return of ally mechanic
    2. Bident of Thassa in Kiora's hand - Theros gods somehow involved with the battle for zendikar? - possible enchantment theme

    It's the Bident, she tricked Thassa into throwing it at her and then Plane walked away with it. In effect, she stole it.

    Allies was a horrible mechanic! Boring and somewhat overpowered if your deck is all allies (at least in Limited).
    Also, MaRo once said they would refrain from making mechanics that just work with cards in the same set/block (like in Kamigawa).
    I would have bet 100% Landfall and 0% Ally Mechanic. Everything about Zendikar screams "Landfall", while Ally was just a ... mistake. Well, that's just my opinion.

    Theros gods? Enchantment theme? Lol, surely not.
    But maybe: "Kiora of the Bident" (a nod to "Liliana of the Veil")

    Also, I think, WotC would have a major riot at their hands if they don't reprint the Zendikar Fetchlands. Prices are ridicules now and would become insane without the reprint (like currently Liliana of the Veil).
    I see no reason not to have all 10 Fetchlands in Standard. A few months ago WotC actually claimed that they try to offer only full cycles of dual lands (meaning all 10 color pairs) in the future. Why they just put five painlands in Origins is unclear.

    Technically, it's Illustrator. But yeah, it's pretty much misrepresentation to call these "full art" when the text box is pretty much the same size and barely translucent. Some apes will get a kick out of opening and collecting them, though, which drives down the price of any playable singles, so whatever. To each their own.

    In The Eye Of Chaos, Blighted Cataract, Ugin's Insight.. Brewing..

    In The Eye Of Chaos is a Legends card that makes all Instants cost an extra X where X is their mana cost .
    So Dig Through Time costs an extra 8, and Force of Will costs and extra 5 (even if played for free)
    Spells like Brainstorm and Swords to Plowshares would cost 2.
    Sorceries like Ugin's Insight and Plea For Power are unaffected.

    GO!
    I suck at building decks.

    maybe Sea Stompy shell

    Everybody needs some love, in the face, possibly from a big monster.

    This also demonstrates that the Reanimator archetype in Standard, Bloc and Modern will disappear bit by bit... Which is a tad sad, really.

    The rate at my LGS was approximately one per 20 players. That works out to being roughly one Expedition per four booster boxes (really, one per 3.33 boxes), so you're looking at almost two Expeditions per case on average.

    There's going to be more of these out there than people initially thought, it seems. If you open one and don't want it, get rid of it stat.
