yeah, this **** is going to be silly. i hadn't noticed immediately that kozilek is also printed with the transparent border, something i'd heard wotc was rumored to be doing more of in the future.

!@#$%^& Eldrazi creatures seem retard in a bad way

Suddenly I see why you would print Mindbreak Trap

The mother site is now doing visual spoilers and the new Level Up mechanic looks like it will be really fun, and the new Level Up frame looks kinda cool.

This set is going to be crazy as hell. A ONE MANA decent totem armor that's on color with Uril......yes! Now, just to get around all that annihillator stuff....common Eldrazi...rut roh.

Dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria.

i love your big ol' crush on uril. it seems you might have finally gotten something worth while to stick in... ahem, on him.

Eldrazi meet a swift and brutal doomblade to your balls!!

And by the way level up seem retarded in a dumb way

I'm definately not in love with the Level-Up Frame. Those cards are a little too confusing for me. Why don't they just get power toughness boosts at each level and why don't they retain abilities from previous levels (The guul draz assassin for example.), it sort of flies in the face of what it means to gain levels. I think that the way its worded and the lay out are pretty bad. It would have been much better to just lay it out like this:

1R: Level Up (Put a level counter on this. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.)
As long as ~ has three or more level counters on it, it gets +2+1 and has first strike.
As long as ~ has six or more level counters on it, it gets an additional +2/+1 and has trample.

Just a thought, since this would let them not change the formatting of creature cards and they could get rid of the reminder text if they needed the extra space. The idea of Leveling up is cool, the implementation is awful.

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
15
Mythic
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can't be countered.
When you cast Emrakul, take an extra turn after this one.
Flying, protection from colored spells, annihilator 6.
When Emrakul is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library.
15/15


uh... correct me if i am wrong but isn't "when" a triggered effect, not a replacement?
as in, i can makeshift mannequin this mother !@#$%^ in extended?! i don't care if i can't take an extra turn... uh... it basically has everything you'd want anyway, to say nothing of the dream of dumping it out with "through the breach"... annihilator is stupid good.

you're right andrew, those eldrazi do go to the graveyard briefly and can be mannequin'd.

That would make vamp hexmage a level hoser hardcore.

Hexmage is already a level hoser!!!

Yeah you can makeshift it and hope they don't ghostfire it and make you sac it.

You're right. I guess I didn't realise they actually do use counters...touche' sir

My main gripe with leveling is the sorc speed.

guess pithing needle is going to be sweet too! Go get em now!

I was thinking doubling season and guilder barren in extended would work with these well.

Flavorwise it sorta makes sense. I think that some of the lamer level cards that have no middle level abilities, should have gotten a secondary ability like "1U: Put a level counter on ~" That would make it seem like they were getting better and learning how to gain experience even when they are out in the wilds. I just think they missed an opportunity on that mythic blue one that costs two mana and doesn't even have a second stage ability.

that's a good way of thinking about it, jake. i like the 'getting better idea' alot.

Hate to brust your bubble andrew but it says this

When Emrakul is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library.

So................. ya

Hate to burst your bubble, but things that have a "when" phrase use the stack. Things that use the word "If...then...", those are replacement effects that do not use the stack. Thank you!

Emrakul doesn’t need to be cast from your hand, just “cast”. Hideaway lands and Djinn of Wishes (among other stuff) can cheat both him and Kozilek into play and still triggering their abilities...

sarkhan.
he's spoiled.
he's crazy.
