Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016

[ReAnimator]

Woooo hooo! Original functionality restored to Winter Orb!

Now 93/94 doesn't need a special errata! one less special rule is always a good thing.

[Stuart]

Yeah, that Winter Orb is fucking gorgeous. Should make a nice foil, too. Nice job Mr. Snoddy.

Yea, I had to do a double take on that one. Blinkmoth Well is back in action now.

Hell yes! Time to brew some terrible assymetrical Winter Orb decks

[Dice_Box]

Well Orb just got taken out of Stax... Opens up new possibilities though.

[TsumiBand]

Pardon my ignorance -- how do you make use of the "as long as -this- is untapped" on Winter Orb? Can you just tap it during your opponent's EOT, and then everything just untaps during your untap (because it's all untapping simultaneously)? So like... Icy Manipulator or something better/similar?

In short yes. You can make it one sided by untapping it after your opponents untap step.

EDH just got worse..

[maharis]

EDH just got worse..

Impossible.

It's awesome that they restored Winter Orb. Get your Relic Barriers now!

[Arsenal]

rare Mother of Runes reprint (duel deck artwork).

Yeah. In fact, Winter Orb + Icy Manipulator used to be a thing. Throw Kismet and Black Vise in there and you've got yourself a winning combo. No friends, but a winning combo.

It's starting to look like you can do this in EMA.

A thing to note - there's going to be around 100,000 boxes of EMA available post-release, so the supply of the major rares/Mythics isn't going to be increased that much, and those heavy-cost foils are going to be worth a bomb.

[GenghisTom]

Omg does this mean I'll finally have proper serf tokens for the cube?



This is the best reprint so far for me

[MasterBlaster]

Maybe Balance for white. Was also going to say Humility but that is on the reserved list.

Hoping we get Mother of Runes and Swords to Plowshares at uncommon.

Got the rarity off on Mother of Runes. Called it on Balance and Swords to Plowshares.

[Arsenal]

Makes sense in the context of Limited to have Mom at rare. If at uncommon, combat would be miserable.

[Barook]

I wrote it a few pages ago that Mom would be rare.

Interesting side note:
They previewed Mom and StP in the same preview. Coincidence? Maybe, but let's remember the old Legacy MILF joke: "Plow their Mom at every chance you get!"

That's how many cards supply of rares and mythics on average?

[[SLAYER]chaos]

That's how many cards supply of rares and mythics on average?

Not sure on rares but I think it should be about 17,000 of each mythic.

[Nocley]

Not sure on rares but I think it should be about 17,000 of each mythic.

Pulling thoughts out of my head that are probably incorrect, I believe that puts us closer to 20k of each, not counting foils

100K boxes = 2.4M packs = 2.4M mythics/rares. @ 121 of these per sheet, 1 mythic per sheet. 2.4M / 121 = 19834

Each rare is at 2-3x per sheet, right? So roughly 40-60k of each rare. That doesn't seem right to me.

[Finn]

Drafting this set is going to be similar to cube with all the built-in combos.

[phonics]

I wonder why they chose not to have a gp like they did with Modern Masters, it would have been neat.

[Fox]

Brago, King Eternal was just confirmed on twitch by community super league. I'm not sure why this is in EM except that the card says "eternal." :P
