>Someone thought it was a good idea to have 2 Eldrazi sets in a row
So if you control the opponent, you can spend their mana to cast their spells to blow up their own shit, sacrifice their cards for bad effects, and make really unfavorable attacks?
>>47871736
If that's a fake, it's a pretty good one. I had the new emrakul as a mindslaver on a stick with protection. That madness cost makes him far too juicy, I would totally play that.
>>47871764
>fake
>coming from MTG official youtube
>>47871761
yes. never played with mindslaver?
Holy shit. Can't wait to build an EDH deck for her. What an amazing twist

Well, double Fuck off for hassling me about nothing. How should I know and why should I care where it comes from? I was saying it looked very well done which made it more credible you fuckwit. Now I'm in a bad mood, thanks anon.
>>47871736
Dies to non-instant removal.
>>47871856
I don't actually think Wizards has any idea what Bolas is really doing at this point
>>47871872
Who is Bolas? Only been playing since SOI
Whassup Gisela, Bruna
>>47871870
It also has the handy dandy effect of using all of the opponent's non-instant removals on their own field.
>>47871872
That's the best part though!
>>47871872
knowing wizards, he's promoting the patriarchy
I've been telling everyone for weeks that it's Emrakul, and it's very obvious, and the set symbol is her silhouette. And that anyone saying it's a random squid from Coldsnap was straight-up retarded.
Finally, vindication.
>>47871888

Is instantly countered by visions of brutality. Sure, there are still double stolen turn nonsense, but if it can't attack you're in much better shape.
I can't wait to drop and flicker him with brago for the easiest infinite combo ever.

I thought Wizards said Phyrexia was going to be the big bad
>>47871955
Mindslaver is fine. I ran a janky geth gets artifact deck where tutoring mindslaver was a wincon and surprisingly, sometimes it does Fuck all.
>>47871931
It was art in the magic story that happened recently so you're in for some good times.
>>47871736
I honestly dont know how to feel about this card. The fact it gives the opponent an extra turn kills it for me. There is also the fact that its "Target opponent" and not "target player" so you cant even give yourself an extra turn. If it was "card types in ALL graveyards" it would be better too.
It just does not do enough for me to like it. It looks nice but mechanically I think I'll pass. Its just to risky with not enough bonuses.
If I control an "opponent" can I make them violate a tournament rule, like say their creature will "rape" mine or that their hand is "gay"?
I mean, if they have to follow instructions it's a rules violation if they don't do as I ask.
>>47871963
>>47871958
Fuck, it's not an etb trigger, you're right. Got my hopes pretty high for a second.
>>47871955
For like 10 mana, realistically. And your opponent still has a turn to do stuff before you can attack.
>>47871892

>>47871981
I honestly think it's one of the worst Eldrazi titan cards, on the level with the first Kozilek
>>47871973
Link to the story?
>>47871981
>The fact it gives the opponent an extra turn kills it for me.
Actually, it gives him an extra turn during which you are controlling him.
I would say that is pretty fair, since you get a 13/13 flyer in the process.
>>47871999
If it attacks with vision of brutality on, it'll hurt the opponent just as much as you.
>>47872003
First kozilek was legendary as a commander before newlamog dropped. Even still, I like the old one better than the new one.

>>47872008
What? No? You take their turn for them then they get an extra turn. You dont control them during their extra turn.
>>47871984
Ok, that gave me a sensible chuckle
>>47871892
holy shit no
>>47871981
It only gives your opponent the turn he would have anyway. It's not two turns in a row, but one turn controlled by you and then the extra one.
>>47871892
Just like in my tentacle hentai.
>>47872008
You dingus. "You gain control of target player during their next turn" only applies to one turn. You get one turn of hijack, and then they get to do whatever on their extra turn.
>>47872026
Do you think that nu-Emrakul is any good in EDH? I don't play the format.
>>47871892
>Brusela
I really hope this is a new Jeskai commander.
If it's not RWU, then it's colorless.
how does this combo with Ashnod's Coupon
>>47872008
that flier doesn't actually do anything though
if I'm spending 9-10 mana, I want that card to win the game, not advance a grind
new emrakul just doesn't have the epic feeling the old one did. it's not unstoppable, just esoteric and frustrating for the opponent
>>47872069
>You dingus. "You gain control of target player during their next turn" only applies to one turn. You get one turn of hijack, and then they get to do whatever on their extra turn.
>>47872069
I think it's amazing because it can hit the yard. Mimeoplasm and g/b recursion just got a major beat stick and as a commander, it's surprisingly versatile as a ultimate chunk blocker, a flyer and a mindslaver for as little as 7 colourless. I'm getting some, it's going to be very valuable in a year or so, assuming standard doesn't get a boner for it first.
>>47872082
If you get control of your opponent's turn you should be able to win the game, even if they get an extra turn after that one.
You're all idiots.
>>47871759

>>47872054
Thats the WRONG way of thinking about it. You need to think in turns of the whole turn not just what you can do in a turn.
Just this last weekend I had two eternal masters draft matches lost by exactly one turn and one topdecked card.
They get a free draw. Sure you get to see what they have in their hand but that can mean fuck all. They still have it and can play it. If they HAVE instants and stuff you can use for unfavorable things sure you can do it but what if they dont? Then all you can do is swing an unfavorable attack. That is hardly game winning.
The problem here is consistency. It could be a blow out or it could actually hurt you by giving them that extra draw into a board wipe. Its just to risky to risk using.
Look at Ulamog. He hits the field and gets rid of two problems every time. He attacks and nukes 20 cards from their library every time. He is good because you can count on his ability helping you every time.
>>47872072

>>47872212
We all know who called it there. The only people surprised by it are retards.
I just wanted flip cards where the front side was normal and the back side was a compleated version of the front. Is that too much to ask?
>>47872212
Of all the things you could complain about the creative team, that's the only thing you can't. They had a whole set about Nahiri SUMMONING the fucking thing to Innistrad. It's very clear it's no accident. It's forced as fuck, but not an accident.
>>47872217
It will never die to dreadbore if you don't draw it immediately on your extra turn
>>47871892
That would be a bitchin emrakul. Let's guess the stats.
I'll go first:
>14 generic mana to summon.
OH NO
EMRAKUL HAS ESCAPED FROM PRISON
GATHER THE JACETICE LEAGUE! CARDVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
>>47871892
10/10 Fucking brutal
>>47872242
Watch as there's no flip cards in EMN
>>47871736
So you can take control of your opponent and have them concede the game?
>>47872215
>>47872094
If you're being serious please kill yourself, if you're baiting please kill yourself.
>>47872259
The only good thing about that happening is that it would give us more time to focus on the real threat to the multiverse
>>47872242
Yes. I'm as sick of fucking phyrexians even more than I am eldrazi
nornies get out
>>47872212
Except for the part where Nahiri brought him there deliberately to take revenge on Sorin. This is no Magic: The Force Awakens.
>>47872197
Why not? White doesn't have to mean "good". Eldrazi Displacer is a white Eldrazi. Elesh Norn is a white phyrexian. They are literally conjoined together, so it evokes the white theme of cooperation. In a twisted sense.

Have you ever been up against a Mindslaver lock? It can be hard to set up but its also about the hardest thing to ever escape from.
Also, some people get butthurt as shit over Mindslaver. Had a BW deck I threw together with a bunch of shit I never got to play and I used Mindslaver against a guy and he wanted to skip his turns forever instead of letting me take one of his turnsIm aware thats not how it would actually work. It was goddamn infuriating. People man.

Eldrazi are the hot topic villains of the mtg world, only faggots like them.
With any luck this piece of shit dies in the story like the other 2 bland monsters did in Oath.

>>47871902
Dog, we've been speculating on Emrakul ever since last Halloween when SoI was announced.
>>47872177
I really hope they won't bring back Devoid in EMN. And I don't think they will. The set will be mechanically similar to SOI (same draft environment) and Devoid really requires mechanical support, and it doesn't go well with anything in SOI. And then there are other flavor reasons.
>>47872300
>>47872315
What?
>>47872287
>confusing what is for what ought to be
Nobody wanted Eldrazi back, but everybody knew it. Some people just believed really hard is all.
>>47872287
They already ruined the flavor of innistrad the first time we went there by making Avacyn Restored. Why would they not do it again?
>>47871892
No no no no no. They can't do this to them! They deserve better! This is horrifying!
>>47872320
Doesn't explicitly say there is or isn't a prerelease promo
>>47872273
this. I, for one, welcome our new flesh-less overlords
So, do we have a 1 mana "Discard to draw a card" filter spell in standard and any kind of "Sac a creature for mana" ability? Because a turn 4 Emrakul could be rather amusung in that format.
>>47872212
Nice Eldrazi you have there. It would be a shame if someone took control of it.t. Silumgar
>>47871736
Its actually quite decent. It cant be killed by most removals the turn it comes down, and when it comes to ur opponents turn, you can point all socery removals at his creatures. They have to topdeck a sorcery removal on their extra turn.

Random foil rare/mythic lottery is better than alternate art of garbage cards you'll never play with.
Though i'd rather we go back to the time when prerelease promos are cards that actually matters like Wurmcoil Engine.
>>47871736
If i control the opponent and i see that he has a lightning bolt; can i cast it and target the Emrakul for the purpose of burning the bolt or does static protection prevent it from being targeted in the first place?
>>47872339
Basically, yes. It's been known since the Clue token / Tamiyo's Journal puzzle was solved. And people started noticing the hints in the SOI art.
>>47872388
your hand is already stripped off anything useful.

>>47872376
Or cast stasis snare on it the turn you cast it.
If this thing sees play expect stasis snare and clip wings to appear everywhere.
>>47872381
I'd be fine with that, anything but fucking eldrazi.

>>47872318
>Oh, nevermind. Turns out you can harvest the leylines of an entire fuckin plane to pull them into existence all the way and actually attack them, with possibly-horrible effects on the rest of the multiverse
FTFY
Literally all I'm hearing from phyrexian fags is endless fucking crying that the set didn't end with more grimdark shit. Grow up, can't we have a single fucking happy ending for once without people screeching about saturday morning cartoons? Does everything really have to be GRIM and DARK and SAD and SHITTY to be mature?
Personally, I think the perfect ending would have been the same as this one, but with Nissa being sacrificed as a consequence of bonding with the plane or whatever. Her character arc is hella confused from the retcon, so this would have been a cool way to provide closure to either of her arcs. Unfortunately, I think Wizards wants a green iconic planeswalker more than that. Oh well.
>>47872388
If it dosnt have that clause, it would baisically be taking an extra turn for yourself with huge upside
>>47872404
Dude, it was known since they spoiled the block name. I mean, really? Shadows over Innistrad? Couldn't be more blatant than that.
>>47872398

>>47872158
>Then all you can do is swing an unfavorable attack. That is hardly game winning.
I dunno. Emrakul is big and flying, at worst you can pick their most dangerous/important creature and basically feed it to Emrakul as a form of removal.

>Though i'd rather we go back to the time when prerelease promos are cards that actually matters like Wurmcoil Engine.
We're definitely all on the same page here.

>Doesn't explicitly say there is or isn't a prerelease promo
Very true, I'm hoping that the token is in addition.
>>47872391
He's read it, he just doesn't find it satisfying and the hoops Wizards went through to justify a "happy" ending for Zendikar were not worth making the Eldrazi less interesting.
I'm fine with it, but I get people's grievances.
Ugh. I am not excited for this set thematically. Shit's too creepy for me.
>>47871892

I mean, sure, unless you count the endless story hand-wringing about how literally 90% of Zendikar is forever fucked, which means that for all the people complaining about how not even one plane went down to the Eldrazi one plane basically DID.
>>47872445
Is that a bad thing?
>>47872445
>muh shitty old ones rips offs!
Eldrazi are boing faceless retard who wander around eating, they're shit villians and deserved a shit death, deal with it.

Hal felt the pull of their words. They had given in to the call the way Hal had been tempted to. They had crumpled and now they no longer had to fight it.
"Are'mrakul. We'mrakul."
This some bad writing
So now that they killed all the Eldrazi. Where will we return to next and who will get fucked up? My guess is that we're going back to Mirrodin and Phyxerian get their shit handed to them, maybe destroy the plane just to be sure.
>>47872460
>>47872467
>Wahh it doesn't win the game instantly so it's shit
It'll see play so fucking much because mindslaver is a game changer. /tg/ is horrible at magic.
>>47872486
It's their 'twist' on Cthulhu-mythos speak and it's a very bad one.
>>47872423
Already said it before. The worst thing a plane in mtg can get is not phyrexian or eldrazi, but a visit from mtg creative team.
Everything always ends with your plane is deeeeeeeeed.

>>47872413

Finally a reason to play Green or white!
>>47872446
Tron maybe
With chromatic star, ancient stirings, fetches its possible this thing could be 10 or less
then again newlamog is 10 and actually just wins the game better
I'm honestly having a hard time evaluating how devastating the cast trigger is
>>47871902
you sound autistic friend
>>47872499
Yeah, at 13 mana, even with the mana reduction clause, if it doesn't win you the game, it's shit.
>there's nothing an Eldrazi hates more than a Hadron - especially an Aligned Hadron, the symbol of the Gatewatch
>>47872266
No, not how it works.
>>47872499
Mindslaver only sees play because they were stupid enough not to put an exile activation cost.
>>47872522
A 13/13 flier with trample, cost reduction effect, and mindslaver will win you the game. Hell, at 9 mana it costs less than ulamog.
>Nahiri, Sorin, Jace, Tamiyo and Liliana team up and shove this fat bitch into the moon.
>Eldrazi fags will still cry about their bland timmy bait monsters not being unstoppable.
>>47872158
>but guys, your opponent can topdeck sorcery removal after you've wrecked his hand and his playfield, this is weak!!
It is a 13/13 flying trample, which costs between 8 and 10, which also throws mindslaver at them and maybe gives them the chance to topdeck a Wrath of God, and even then, you can wreck their hand

Am I really the only one who thinks this art is hilariously bad? That pose is so stiff, it looks like some edgy shit I would draw in my notebook in middle school, trying to go for the edgiest looking thing possible.
Im seriously hoping for innistrad to get fucking annihilated.
>>47872445
Except for some much of the land still being desiccated and devoid of life, the entire planet having shaken half to pieces, Kiora's entire army of sea monsters still dead, the pathetically tiny remnants of the Zendikari army disbanding, the guy responsible (Bolas) not having been brought to justice, Chandra now walking with a cane, and the extremely unsubtle foreshadowing from Ugin that killing them instead of containing them has doomed the universe.

I still doubt it'll see play in Legacy or Modern. RG Tron maybe, and even then, I think it'd play Nulamog first.
>>47872555
If she cost less then yes the risk would be worth it. As is I would rather have something cheaper that wont be a dead card if I cant work the mana up. Realistically I would only use her if her hard cast was 9 with the same effects.

Assuming they had the mana to cast it all. And assuming theres other legal targets.
Everyones assuming that during their extra turn youll be able to keikaku things into position perfectly. Realistically, during most of the extra turns youll just tap them out and swing with a couple thing while dropping what spells you can.

>>47872619
That's the point. I would only want to pay 5 or 6 mana for it. By the time you have 6 mana on the field you should be moving to wrap up the game. Your deck needs fixing if it drags on longer than 5 lands.

SoI was supposed to be the third set for the BFZ block until the blocks were changed to two sets.
So Emmy was probably part of the story already.
>In that moment, there was nothing Jace wanted more than to do as she said. He wanted to go, to leave this world, leave the titan. Return to the world they had already saved: Zendikar. Sea Gate.

I dont care for big creatures. Their problem is that rarely does it converge that they are both big and viable. There has to be a way to get them to the field in a timely manner. Every turn is another turn your opponent can bullshit and win. With the current stance on mana rocks, dorks, and ramp there is just not a lot of ways to efficiently get these big things out.
I would rather have a 2/1 flyer in my deck than this Emy as of now. Unless they do a 180 and green turboramp is a thing again it will stay that way.
>>47872426
It was heavily speculated on back then. The art and the Clue puzzle confirmed it.
Mardu Nahiri as a new antagonist?
>mfw
>>47872745
too powerful for Standard/Limited/Draft
This card isn't very good. Would rather play new Kozilek instead desu
Too expensive to be normally cast, no point to reanimate
When it hits the field it's just a big beater which isn't very good. Ulamog does something by just attacking. Kozilek can counter opponent's spells for consistent value. New emrakul doesn't really do anything else once it hits the field besides be a flyer that can get chump blocked fairly easily and that dies to most removal in standard and almost everything in EDH. On top of that it can get countered. Even with pseudo-delerium it's too expensive for modern when better, more damaging, or hardier alternatives exist.
Bane of Bala Ged is a better card than this, and that was uncommon. Don't see this one being even a moderately high price past the a few weeks beyond release

Emrakul has trample you shithead. Chump blocking it only reduces the damage to 12, which is enough to kill most end-game opponents. Also, it only costs 9 if you have 1 evolving wilds, a creature, a removal instant, and a removal sorcery in the graveyard.

Hmm. I wonder if someone else on the design or development teams was intelligent enough to also make this discovery, and suggest adding a way to get the most expensive card in the set out faster? Nah, that's impossible - I'm sure they're okay with the card in the fucking expansion symbol being literally unplayable.

An on-cast effect still is worth it. And let's assume that this new set where in the trailer we see an entire zombie army reanimated by Liliana won't have any graveyard revival to get back emrakul easily. Also, the most popular Competetive removal spells target non-creature spells, at least in standard.

I said that explicitly because the rest of the set is not revealed. They COULD surprise us but precedent is not with them. They have been upping the cost of ramp to high. Rocks are non existent and dorks are "problematic" and their cost is sky rocking as well.
With all that investment why not just use some protection/evasion and kill spells? Ramp, rocks, and dorks already have an inherent drawback of not pushing the board state. Their prices are getting ridiculous.

Dude. You can get an amazingly Competetive standard deck for less than $100. Mine cost me exactly $85 (minus two $5 lands I pulled) and yet I consistently place within the top 4 at my shop, even placing first a few times). Hopefully the new set allows me to seek and re-make the deck at that price.

My complaint is that this card DOESN'T EVEN WORK CORRECTLY WITH NAHIRI'S ULTIMATE
Bringing it out and swinging 13 and putting it back into your hand is still fine I suppose but you think it would do all the shit it's supposed to do just by using Nahiri's ultimate for flavor reasons

>>47872555
The problem is that its a 13/13 youll probably be paying 10 for. And while that psuedo Mindslaver is nice anyone who plays with Mindslaver will know that it whiffs sometimes. Maybe they have more than one sorcery speed removal and not enough mana to cast both? Maybe a tutor as well? Maybe even something more threatening than a kill spell for dear Emmy? Its not always christmasland.
Then, even if she survives and you manage to swing, what if they have more than 13 life? Now they get another turn, admittedly with less life and probably in danger, but they could turn it around.
The problem is that the effect isnt immediately beneficial and may actually provide very little benefit at all, especially when compared to a majority of the other titans/valuable cards.

we're assuming you've probably been working pretty hard to protect your Nahiri and get its ult off, so when it doesn't end up winning you the game right then and there and they still get another chance after all your hard work ulting her, that could end pretty badly for you

Wait! I have a negate in hand and cast a removal to kill your attacking creatures. Now I hard cast her, use all your removals on your own board, attack and assign blockers and kill none of my creatures and all of yours, then empty your hand with a discard effect you had.

What can you do when you control your opponents turn? If I recall correctly you can look at their sideboard yes? Is there anything else you can do?
>>47873116
it'll almost always cost less than 10 in a ramp deck.
I can't imagine not getting 4 card types into the grave by turn 7.
Can the autistic waifufags stop playing this game already? It's embarassing.
Emrakul's real ability according to this thread.
When you cast Emrakul, you gain control of target opponent during that player's next turn. After that turn, put a Dreadbore into that player's hand then that player takes an extra turn.
>>47872082
The fact that you get to steal a turn from your opponent means that they're effectively in topdeck mode trying to deal with her, you can just dump all their sorcery speed removal on their own creatures or on some other dork you have out, and then have them attack with whatever flying chump blocker they might have had so Emrakul can eat it.
>>47873264
Control and smash their monsters into a 13 power trample creature while wasting all their mana for something else.
>>47873172
no, not really, she just hates Sorin alot, and is so old she doesn't care about mortal and their problems or what happens to them.
she's over 8 thousand years old, Sorin is equally as flippiant with mortal lives.

>>47872115
That was clearly a placeholder to disguise the fact that the actual set symbol is Emrakul. How many white set symbols have you seen?
>>47873246
I'm not saying that exact thing is gonna happen every single time or that you'll even get punished at all half the time, all I'm saying is that it seems like a lot of work for a play that doesn't win you the game on the spot, and there's a chance it could even come back to bite you depending on how the game has been going up to that point. What you said could happen as well, but that isn't guaranteed either
Players will find themselves losing after ulting for this a fuckton of a lot more than searching for the first Emrakul, but ulting Nahiri for this in Standard will still result in a win a majority of the time
>>47872115
You're 10 times more retarded than the average retard.
Emrakul plays well with a few standard staples your opponent uses.
Transgress the Mind for instance, can target yourself, Anguished Unmaking can hit your own shit, ect.
Dec in stone and Stasis Snare hit Emrakul, but those decks run things that can be hit by them as well.

and this is GOOD, old Emrakul gave almost zero fucking counter-play, you won the game, the card had too much shit going on to the point you didn't really "play" with Emrakul.

We have seen literally one card out of 205, and we know there are other colourless cards because Emrakul is number 6.
Don't be shocked if, for example, Brusela has both Eldrazi and Angel types.

That would be fine, store her away to asspull her back in when they need a new bigbad
>>47873544
>Don't be shocked if, for example, Brusela has both Eldrazi and Angel types.
That's obvious though, they have to represent Emrakul corruption in some way on the card so adding an Eldrazi subtype is the most obvious way.

>>47872858
>>47873470
You're both idiots. A chump block is a block that disposes of a comparatively weak creature to completely block a blow from a much larger creature that is expected by both players to survive combat, while the weaker creature will die. The purpose of a chump block is to hold off damage. You can still call it "chump blocking" if the blocked creature tramples through, but that seems to me like a misuse of the term. You can chump block with a 4/4, but usually that's not going to happen unless you're playing EDH where you might have, say, 12/12s and shit flying around, so comparatively the 4/4 is a chump.

There is no possible spin they can give this story where Nahiri is "in the right".

>>47872691
This doesn't change the fact that Sorin overreacted and locked her up in the helvault for a millenium. She could have prevented Nissa from releasing the Eldrazi in the first place and none of this would have happened if Sorin would have just listened to her.
>>47874009

But this is 100% true. Look at most main big guys from most sets.
>>47874107
One of them checked for the eldrazi seals and that shit ended up happening due to multiple factors. Dude even made his way to ugin albeit he was a slow sick about it because avacyn.
The other intentionally pulled a giant space jellyfish into another world, forgetting the world she wanted to protect in the process in order to spite one guy.
There's a pretty big difference.

So how awkward is it going to be when the Powerpuff Girls tell Nahiri that they could have just straight-up killed Em on Zendikar, and that they couldn't because of her, and to top it off, her thousand-year watch over the Hedrons was pointless?
>>47872241

>>47874329
I still want Ugin to have been right all along. What we saw was just the Eldrazi's fingers in the pond. Now that big ol' hand and arm and body are out there floating around. Ready to find the next big mana source
>>47873544
>not "legendary creature - angeldrazi"
>>47874393
Ugin was also concerned that the eldrazi serve some unknown purpose in the ecosystem of the multiverse, and killing them off will have disastrous consequences down the line. I want THAT to be true.
Like, the reason you need a Spark to planeswalk is because the eldazi nom anything that stays in the blind eternities for more than a split second, but now the phyrexians can just build spelljammers and overrun everything. Or something.
>>47874393
he was, in Oath they pulled the WHOLE Eldrazi titans into Zendikar and blew them up.
>>47874441
>Wanting to lose out on the benefits of both tribes.
It'd be "Legendary Creature - Ange'mrakul", in any case.
>Run 3 of this in a Sin Prodder deck
>Reveal it
>Take 13 of give me a game ender
I can't wait
>>47874393
That was true. The first step to destroying the Eldrazi on Zendikar was pulling them ALL THE WAY into Zendikar, so they could actually be destroyed instead of just blowing up their hand.
It nearly broke the entire plane in half.
Truth be told, given how narrowly they managed to pull that off, is Emrakul had been there as well their plane almost certainly would have failed. They barely had enough power to bind and destroy 2 Eldrazi, a whole third Eldrazi (especially since Emrakul is by all accounts the strongest) would have broken the plan.
>>47873096
To be fair, when Jace is listing off major threats to the multiverse it went something like "Bolas,Phyrexia,Eldrazi and the Chain Veil".
So Emrakul getting a little bit shit stomped before getting thrown into moon jail seems likely.
>>47874500
One thing I find very important is that not all of the Eldrazi spawn died when the Titans were destroyed.
This means that, on some level, Ulamog and Kozilek still exist. Very small parts of them do, at least.
I would be shocked if we didn't get a story down the line of Ugin capture some Eldrazi spawn and slowly grown a couple of new Eldrazi titans, kept in stasis, ready to release in case it turns out the Eldrazi actually are important.
>>47874567
Also Ob Nixilis. He's not really a threat to the multiverse as far as they know, but he made it abundantly clear in his Machiavellian saturday morning cartoon behavior that he intends to make himself a problem for the Gatewatch in the future.
>>47874567
The Eldrazi, I feel, are only that low on the list because they can only be in one place at a time. They are massively fucking dangerous to a single plane, but in terms of multiversal threats they move slowly. Inevitably, but slowly.
Phyrexia, meanwhile, spreads like a fucking plague.

He probably is pretty tough though, he was easily more powerful than any single member of the gatewatch.
Not sure why people keep ragging on the gatewatch stuff so much, "hurr durr saturday morning cartoons durr" has been the magic modus operandi for over a decade.
>>47874624
Also, at that time, "the eldrazi" consisted solely of Emrakul, whose whereabouts were totally unknown. Since they didn't even know where to look she was low priority. Now that she's been spotted in the wild, active on an inhabited plane, the gatewatch seems to have mobilized based on the trailer.
>>47874689
The AND CHANDRA KILLED THEM ALL WITH FIRE GOOD JOB TEAM is what started it.
Also MARO getting triggered and freaking out when people called it the Jacetice league.
>>47874689
To be clear, I'm not accusing the gatewatch of being a saturday morning cartoon. I'm calling Ob a saturday morning cartoon villain. And he totally is! He's evil because he likes being evil and the whole reason he attacked the gatewatch is because he saw a bunch of heroes and decided to be the villain they deserve. After he defeated them, instead of killing them he took them back to his lair and held them captive. The dude is one step away from twirling his mustache. And I like it!

>>47874846
Hahahahaha that's fucking funny. It's fucking true, and yes we are using it in a derisive way. Because it's true, it's bad storytelling, and nobody likes Jace. The only reason he polls so high is because he's basically the only blue planeswalker that's gotten any story exposure in the last like...what? 4 years? 5 years? Dude counts for like 60% of blue planeswalker cards. And like 80% of mono blue planeswalker cards.

Nahiri gloating to Sorin on a cliff overseeing Emrakul tearing apart the heart of Innistrad, throwing all of his broken promises and betrayals and failures in his face.
"This is for lying to me. This is for breaking your promise. This is for leaving me in your damn prison. THIS IS FOR ZENDIKAR."
And then, at that moment, Nissa (it needs to be Nissa to really be most effective) is the one to tell her:
"Zendikar lives."
That moment, at the height of her victory, where Nahiri realizes she is avenging the death of a plane that was not destroyed. Damaged, ruined, but still survives.
Realizing that in annihilating Innistrad, she has gone too far.
And in that moment, before she has time to apologize, Innistrad comes apart at the seams, her revenge complete even though she no longer is sure she wants it.

I'm finding it really strange that we are getting this unrelenting, overwhelming tide of misogyny ever since the Nahiri lore article dropped.
This is 4chan, so some amount of contrarian edgelordness is always to be expected, but its really been kind of ceaseless lately. Certainly more than /tg/ usually has.

I sincerily hope she doesn't do that. As far as I understand the story, she is doing all this to cause Sorin pain, not to exact some kind of eye for an eye justice. It doesn't matter if zendikar survived or not, she wants to make Sorin suffer no matter the cost.
But knowing wizards they might pull this one out and I will be sad.

You guys are right, I stopped reading after I saw the zombie token. My bad!

Wouldn't be surprised if there were an influx of redditors on /tg/ right now.

This. This post right there. This is why we can't have nice things. Oppression this, misogny that, racism there. It's 2016. Institutionalized racism and sexism towards women ended almost 50 years ago. The only kind that still exists is the personal kind that comes from idiots perpetuating a stereotype, and the only people who give a shit about it are ugly women, racial minorities with a chip on their shoulder, and liberal cucks. So, shitposter, which one are you?

At least Gaywatch won't last for thirteen motherfucking sets.
Probably.

You're a faggot.

Its a joke. Fuck off back to your safe space.

You don't know what you're talking about.
A chump block is a block where the attacking creature lives and the blocking creature dies. If they both die, it's called a trade. If blocking creature survives, it's a regular block (whether or not the attacker lives).

I can't say I'm waiting with impatience on the deluge of /pol/-tier memery during the next Standard season.
Jesus, it's going to be so fucking obnoxious.

Not really. It especially isn't when more than half the damage gets through.

Yes really. That's the definition. A chump block is a block where you throw away a creature to avoid some of the damage, knowing beforehand that the creature is going to die and the attacker is not. That is the definition of chump block.
You can "chump block" with an Emrakul if you're blocking a Marit Lage token.

Stop using words like racism or misoginy unironically, you faggots. I can't believe I have to say this.
>sexism towards women ended almost 50 years ago
So much wrong with this narrative.
