[ZEN] Rumor Mill

[quicksilver]

I can see a trap being on a morph creature as an unmorph condition.

Also any card besides instant could have a trap if the trap condition also allowed you to play it at instant speed. For example:

Not a Real Card
Creature - Trap
If a creature is attacking you, you may play this card as though it had flash.
You fool! You've activated my trap card! A costly mistake!
1/1

Although with trap being a sub type it seems like it could easily be confused with creature type, idk how that would work.

People think there will be delve in this set cause they rumored they were going to bring back a mechanic. But since we know kicker is in it, there is pretty much no chance of bringing back delve, so people should stop getting their hopes up for delve cards.

So Landfall keyword seems to be confirmed on Salvation. Seems interesting, a reward for hitting land drops. Also seems like a very control oriented mechanic based on the land count in most aggro and combo decks. I guess we'll see.

[MTG-Fan]

Mmm. How about:

<Landfall Counterspell> 1UU
Instant

Counter target spell.
Landfall U - If you played a land during your last turn, you may play this for its Landfall cost instead.

I don't think there will be any cheap landfall card, but my Quirion Rangers and Scryb Rangers would love them.

I don't think there will be any cheap landfall card, but my Quirion Rangers and Scryb Rangers would love them.

Man, both of these cards are underrated. I play two Rangers in GBrw Survival, and they're amazing. Saving lands from Wastes, making landdrops when you are light on land, and swinging and blocking with the same Goyf are all pretty amazing. Adding a Bird or Rofellos is just silly.

It's hard to fit them into decks over some more aggressive options, but man, when they fit, they're solid. Not gamebreaking, but about as solid as one drops get.

Secret Tech: Scryb Ranger is a faerie for Spellstutter Sprite. Just saying.

If it cost one, OMG. Still might be worth it (in Bant Sur), but Quirion Ranger just might be better with all the other two drops.

When Kor Sanctifiers enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, destroy target artifact or enchantment.

I dunno: "if it was kicked"?
I liked "if you paid the kicker cost much better.
Being kicked just sounds retarded.

[Peter_Rotten]

What's more interesting is that we get the interesting Kicker mechanic back!

Aren't all mechanics simply Kicker in one way, shape, or form?

[Bardo]

Aren't all mechanics simply Kicker in one way, shape, or form?

Pretty much. (Pay a little more, get a little bonus -- Forecast, Unearth, Chroma, Kinship, etc.)

[MTG-Fan]

I think it'd be kind of neat if they printed some decent lands with Kicker.

Like:

<Kicker Swamp>
Land

Tap: add B to your mana pool. If the Kicker cost was paid, add B1 to your mana pool instead.
Kicker - Sacrifice a black creature with power greater than 2.


<Kicker Island>
Land

Tap: add U to your mana pool. If the Kicker cost was paid, add U1 to your mana pool instead.
Kicker - Target opponent may draw a card. (or draw 2 cards, if that makes the card too good)

Beast Hunt artwork is really nice. The new lands make me wanna do things in my pants. I wonder if Puddn' Head will be involved with artwork this time around? Weird dude...

Those aren't actually new lands. Those are just what he came up with as possibilities for cool cards.

And in other news, Magic now has its first Russian planeswalker:

Yeah, even with RR, single X still makes it beyond amazing. Even with decks not exploiting the graveyard, it's pretty easy to have 5-10 cards in your graveyard within the first 5-6 turns (fetches, instants/cantrips, things your opponent kills...). A spell that dealt 5-10+X damage for RRX seems over the top. Not to mention decks that specifically aim to put cards in their graveyard, such as the ichorid someone mentioned.

Yeah, my bad. Maybe it should hit only creatures.

Slops for Kicker being the chosen ability.
Who likes to kick something?

New card spoiled on salvation:

Rampaging Baloths
Creature - Beast Mythic Rare
Trample
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may put a 4/4 green Beast creature token onto the battlefield.

6/6

[Nihil Credo]

Nice dumb fattie. Might see play in T2, its power level isn't too far from Broodmate Dragon.

[bruno_tiete]

Regarding Tribal being a type, it was made to avoid rules changes that could end up in cards getting subtypes they were not supposed to. Once that happened, silly stuff like fetching a Chameleon Colossus into play when you should have searched for a land could come to happen, given enough obscure cards on the table.

Also, subtypes (like goblin) cannot be attached to a supertype, but only to a type.

[Skeggi]

Landfall could be seriously broken with fetchlands.

[Maveric78f]

It's "whenever you play a land."

No, it's not. ~ Nightmare

Mmmhh, he got me wrong:
