    Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia

    First card for the new set has been spoiled:



    Saheeli's Artistry
    Sorcery (Rare)
    Choose one or both -
    • Create a token that is a copy of target
      artifact
    • Create a token that is a copy of target
      creature, except it's an artifact in addition
      to its other types.


    Looks like the Planeswalker character the set will be following is named Saheeli Rai.

    So we're creating stuff now instead of putting a copy of stuff into play.

    So it's a worse version of Clever Imposter or Phyrexian Metamorph with corner cases involving duplicating creatures with ETB abilities. Okay when you want to cast a new copy of Eternal Witness each turn for 6 manas.

    The card likes to copy Sundering Titans and Sphinx of the Steel Winds

    But why not just use Metamorph

    why

    EDIT: OH because you can choose both I GET IT

    EDIT 2: I can imagine better things to do than copying a Sundering Titan, though. How often do you need to kill three of every basic land?

    You get TWO sundering titans if you copy one in play and if your,opponent tries to kill one, they lose their lands again

    Re: Kaladesh -or- When Kiran met Pia

    Some dumb ideas:

    Lol - pay 7 - copy Lodestone Golem - make every non-artifact impossible to cast.
    Master of Etherium - pay 6 - have at the very least 3 5/5's in play.
    Precursor Golem - pay 6 - copy spell twice(?) - end up with 9 golems total?
    Solemn Simulacrum?

    You only get two copies of the same thing if it is a artifact creature (you could just copy an artifact and a creature though)

    Other silly stuff:
    Filigree Angel gain 18 life.
    Reaper King destroy 4 permanents

    No, no contraptions in this set. There will be Vehicles though.

    New planeswalker/story details from the mothership.

    Source.

    Dovin Baan is a Vedalken 'Senior Inspector' for Kaladesh's World's Fair.

    I was hopeful that we'd left the Gatewatch alone for a block...

    Ahhhh damnit.


    Edit:
    Reading through a bit more, it looks like the 'establishment' on Kaladesh, of which Dovin Baan is a part, are the ones that killed (maybe?) Chandra's parents and caused her spark to ignite. I'm sure that will cause drama within the Avengers.
    Humans and Elves confirmed on the plane. It appears Vedalken will be there, and it mentioned gremlins... Should that be assumed to be goblins?

    So that means that it won't predate the ignition of Chandra's spark. Laaaame. So does this mean we get to look forward to each future set putting out the Gatewatch Signal and no more independent planes? I get that it's Chandra's home plane and all, but come on.

    The card will probably suck but I like that art. Maybe mono-Blue? Or UW? The art is so heavy on UR though, but why would would an inspector be Red?

    Looks like the Vedalken were introduced by WotC to be the replacement for Merfolk on planes where 'not having legs' would complicate their involvement in the story. They started off mono- but are / and / on Ravnica. On Alara they were . So really Dovin Baan could be any combination of colors, as long as one of them is ...



    Storyline guesses:
    Dovin Baan gets word of some terrorists plotting against the World's Fair. He sends out the bat-signal and the Gatewatch come running. Turns out the leaders of the terrorist group are one, or both, of Chandra's parents. They reach out to Chandra who then convinces the Gatewatch that a regime-change is necessary, or she just works in secret to assist her folks.

    Am I doing it right? I forgot to work the Eldrazi in there somehow...

    An artifact matters set may point more to the Phyrexians. Maybe during the course of his inspections he finds some of that greasy Phyrexian oil.

    It would be interesting if he might be something like 3 CMC, UUR. I don't think there has ever been a 'Walker with double one color, single other. There has been "clamoring" from the "community" for a UR "Artifacts matter" Planeswalker, so I am guessing he'll probably be it.

    Why actually think? Wizards doesn't bother to, why should you?

    Just add the words Jace, Gatewatch, Elrazi and/or Bolas and you are set.
