no, Ulamog eats your deck when it swings.

none of them trigger there abilities, because all of their abilities are on cast.

That said, I'd expect 1 or two of each, with you pulling one depending on how the fights going. Pull Emrakul, crack for 13 then next time you cast her you empty a full grip out doing frustrating shit to them. Pull Ulamog, hit for 10 and mill them a bunch if they've been on a tempo focused 2 or 3 beaters plan, pull Kozilek if they only have 1 creature untapped and waiting and/or need to refill your grip for when you cast him.

Going by BB lore you can probably turn into a giant squid being that can even travel to the stars like the Daughter of Kozmos or the Spider dude.
But I suppose that would depend on your dedication to the dark arts.

Otherwise I guess you would just fat up and turn into a neet squid.

So the transform symbol is different, that means there's got to be some kind of new mechanic that flips it
My guess is some kind of combine or corruption effect
>>
>>47901123
It has haste, so that means it must be able to transform pretty quickly, or otherwise have some weird way of entering transformed.

I doubt it's going to be cheap though. 13 combined power, most of that with trample?

It could be like the Magic Origins planeswalkers in that it gets removed from the game and returns transformed.

Multicolored cards are after green in collector number.
>red
It's possible but that would require a low Eldrazi count, which given that Emrakul is 006 in this while Eldrazi Mimic was 002 in a set with only 20 less cards I think we can imagine quite a few will be present, over 10 definitely.

Following Oath's rough formula there would be about 32 cards per color and having the Eldrazi end at 10 would put 130 firmly in the color of red, but if the Eldrazi number nearly 20 like BFZ it could be in the first couple green cards.

>>47901981

>>47901330

I don't think it's that bad for a regular deck but it's a disappointing legendary.

They really need a legendary werewolf who helps control your werewolves flipping or a legendary creature who works well with transform cards in general. That would be a fun EDH deck to pilot, and it could be the crux of a fun 60 card deck too.
>>
>>47902623
It is most definitely not a land, it can't be. That would require either a restructuring of the collector's number system or a set with 75 lands in it. Given that golds don't end until at least 191 there's no way 130 can be a land.
>>
>>47901361
Well, corruption of the world due to the presence of otherworldly power is a lot more interesting than turning everything into bismuth or chalk I'll give them that, I'll miss all the cute eldrazi from BFZ though and that one philosopher eldrazi that got stuck on a shitty card.

Getting expensive/mid expensive cards because they were hyped to be really good on the future and then they turn out to be bulk tier that nobody wants.

Or hoarding a big quantity of supposedly really good cards that you think are good, with the purpose of making a good profit margin, but they never get good and you're stuck with them as bulk.

As awesome as shit like this is, I thought the Eldrazi's sole purpose was to just consume all the life on a given plane, like just make a bunch of brood lineage goons and start eating everything.

Like why is Memerakul bothering to control everyone's minds and turn them all into tentacle monsters? Is that somehow more efficient than just doing what she did on Zendikar? Can she do both? Why didn't she do both on Zendikar? Is she stronger on Innistrad than she was on Zendikar? Do Nahiri's structures somehow amplify her power or were they just there to help summon her? I'd like to think that her mind-warping powers are just a natural byproduct of her presence, but the most recent lore makes it sound like she has some kind of vested interest in not just eating Innistrad, but...I dunno, corrupting it? Having it all "become Her"? And then eating it?

Again, all the new Eldritch Moon art is really cool and I appreciate that they're doing something visually different, but does this make any sense at all in-universe?

>>
>>47904368
>what am I missing
There's been a lot of new Nahiri/Sorin lore that's been recently established explaining her motivation. I'll give you the short version.

>Nahiri, Sorin and Ugin lock up the Eldrazi
>They all pinky promise to come back if the Eldrazi ever get out
>Nahiri stays on Zendikar to keep watch, and to send out a signal to Ugin/Sorin so that they can come help
>Fast-forward a few thousand years
>The Eldrazi start to break free
>Nahiri wakes up and stops them, but for some reason Sorin and Ugin didn't show up (Ugin was basically dead)
>She goes to Innistrad to find Sorin and ask him why he didn't show up, he just brushes her off
>She gets mad and attacks him, he locks her in the Helvault
>Fast-forward to Avacyn Restored
>Nahiri gets out of the Helvault and goes back to Zendikar to find it all fucked up by the unleashed Eldrazi
>She blames Sorin (not knowing it was actually Nissa's fault) and vows to get revenge
>Goes back to Innistrad and brings Emrakul there to get back at Sorin

I think that's about it.
>>
>>47904368
>>47904433
more like 'everything I love got fucked and it's your fault'
which is a little true. And "all my shits fucked, so now everyone else's shit gets fucked, starting with you you fuck".
>>
>>47904433
So she decides to doom an entire plane of innocent people to annihilation because of it?
What a cunt.
>>
>>47904482
Yeah, that's planeswalkers for you.
>>
>>47904458
She does this petty shit while some dude who doesn't even live there gets a group together to stop the threat and save her plane.

She's stellar.
>>
>>47904571
>>47904458
I wonder how Wizards will try to spin it to make her seem sympathetic
>>
>>47904590
well she's somewhat sympathetic in that Sorin really did fuck her over and act like a massive cunt.

Someone can be sympathetic while still thinking they are doing a terrible thing.

And if it's Sorin vs Nahiri, I can certainly agree that Sorin does deserve a swift kick in the balls, even if Nahiri as taken the crazy pills with a overly vindictive chaser.
>>
>>47904320
And another thing, why is Emrakul the one who's creating a bunch of monsters out of people and forming some kind of weird hivemind? Let's look at some of the old lore for Emrakul and Kozilek.

>Kozilek represents themes of deception, puzzles, lies, mind domination, transformation, and experimentation.

Whereas:

>Emrakul embodies desolation, emotional and physical distance, the chill of the void, and the terror of being alone.

But it's Emrakul who's transforming people and taking over their minds? Wouldn't it be cooler if she was just floating silently over a slowly dying world, this massive, unfeeling, unthinking reminder of a horrible and inevitable death?

It really should be Kozilek who was featured in this block, given the themes they were going for, but because the original Emrakul card happened to be the best and biggest of the three, they felt like they couldn't shove her in with Ulamog, and they didn't want to spread the Titans out over more than two blocks (thank God). So we're left with this awkward nonsense.
>>
>>47904641
>Sorin really did fuck her over and act like a massive cunt

Not really, she was able to handle it all by herself. Nahiri went to find Sorin just to yell at him for not helping.

That being said they were both being hard headed assholes and not talking things out like adults. But Nahiri did decided to destroy an entire plane because she was angry and didn't think things through.
>>
>>47904679
You are alone when everyone else is emrakul.
>>
>>47904687

Sorin stuffed her in prison for demons for a thousand years.

She isn't completely rationation
>>
>>47901446
You know Emrakul can get stasis snared right?
It's pro instants, snare is an enchantment.
>>
>>47904687

You can cast Nahiri and Sorin's relationship in many ways, but I prefer the "Eldrazi are their kids, and Sorin's a deadbeat dad" to explain her actions.

She never wanted to have those Ki'eldrazi.

>>
>>47904852
>>47904937
>>47904854
>>47904840
It must be a non-land because all lands come at the end of the set in order of collector number. #130 makes it look very much like a red card.

It's possible to imagine it as like "Hysteria of Hanweir" and make it an Enchantment, but given that it's red it almost certainly isn't an artifact or a land. Given that they've been making a lot of hubbub about Hanweir's wall, and red is the color of angry walls I imagine it's a creature that is Hanweir's wall.
>>

Of all cool things WotC could do, of all the concepts to explore... we get more Eldrazi.

Fuck WotC, I was in hardcore denial that this set would be Eldrazi. But nope, more Eldrazi. Way to kill all my hype for this set.

Oh I love the card, don't get me wrong, but it didn't have to be Eldrazi.
>>
>>47905141
the eldrazi flavor of the card is why i love it though. they built up to it since pre-SOI with their hanweir chronicle blog and nobody saw it coming. literally some of the best flavor ever on a card.

Blue

>>47905187
I wouldn't say NO ONE saw it coming, since we had people making speculations about Eldrazi pre-SOI already. Myself I was strongly hoping this would not be the case, and SOI gave me big red warning that there might be eldrazi, but I hoped it's anything but Emrakul on the moon. And it turned out Emrakul on the moon.
>>

You're in for a really big surprise because the moon is exactly how they're going to seal the Eldrazi.

>the eldrazi flavor of the card is why i love it though

But it's not eldrazi flavoured, its "we need to make Emrakul seem cool so lets make up some horseshit about it corrupting planes like a cheap rip off of the Phyrexians so the hot topic faggots that think Eldrich stuff is still cool will eat this pig slop up flavour".

Could've had Tibalt twisting and torturing a whole plane to get back at Sorin running at sword through his chest, but nope! It's gotta be more boring cosmic horror mary sues.

Locking people in a prison for demons for a thousand years and not doing a thing to help her plane once the Eldrazi are free kinda warrants him getting fucking wrekt badly.

I really can't wait for the inevitable Sorin/Bolas showdown where that neckchief wearing poofter gets killed finally.

Lmao kid, lmao.

Sorin is a shitty character, he goes on and on about being one of the oldest and most powerfuk planeswalkers around but he does fuck and all in every story but screw other people over, yet he's still a "good" guy.


He's also such a cuck that he lets another planeswalker do what she wants on his plane while he wonders around crying about his poor little shitty tribe of vampires.

>>
>>47905471
Too bad wizards fucked up with Kozilek in the Oath set. RtZ should've been at minimum 3 parter, so atleast we didn't have to rush into "just burn them down like retarded fatties they are!"
>>
>>47905494
3 part sets were never, ever, ever a good idea, I don't care what the armchair game designers say.

But honestly, Kozilek was the the only titan that I didn't immediately hate upon having them hijack Zendikar. Ulamog is just weaker Emrakul, when all things are said and done, and Emrakul does nothing but induce salt in gameplay and does nothing to endear herself in the story.

Big Daddy Kozzy should have taken over as the nasty for a while, we should have waited to get the return to Innistrad, and THEN they should have sprung the eldrazi surprise on us, not when we're still trying to get the unpleasantness of the last wave of the squiggles out of our mouths.
>>
>>47905527
Three parter sets work just fine if the story length suits them just fine, problem is that Wizards seem to be stuck in some weird self-imposed rigid mindset where there can only be at a very specific amount of sets per story. RtZ should've either been 2-parter Ulamog only, or 3+ parter with Kozilek.

The story from Nahiri's POV made it explicit that she wasn't trying to kill him but only prove her worth through force because she assumed power was the only thing Sorin respects. The point is that both of them made bad decisions without really being aware of the full picture.

Feel free to ignore my post if your intent was to bait gender shitposting.

Never told he is a good guy. He is black vampire lord, he is mostly pure evil.

But Nahiri his pants-on-head retarded genocidal maniac on par with phyrexia. You can't make a case defending her tantrum. Milions are fucking dead because she got her feelings hurt.
>>
>>47905574
But Ugin's a little spectral punk who got heemed by Bolas and had to get a mentally ill person to come and undo his literal anus plundering and after that he just fucks off to go play scientist on Zendikar, while not actually telling Jace anything truly useful.

What makes me the most angry is that stories about going up against unstoppable cosmic eldritch horror beings and actually, undisputibly, actually winning makes my dick rock hard.

And yet they still managed to make it fucking lame, then they back pedal to making the horror set about the leftover one that will either be beaten the same way by the same people, or just waste even more of our fucking time

Imho, new emrakul is worse when you want to Goryos/Nahiri her out. The trample is interesting, I've seen Thoptersword handle a hasted Emrakul before so I can see a lot of merit to the trample in cast of Blinkmoths, Ornirhopters and Vendillion, but the lack of annihilator makes it much less impactful on the boardstate in favor of guarenteeing the damage. Since it doesn't shuffle it's also alot worse in Nahiri, and without annihilator Goryos isn't nearly as good.

That being said, I don't think she's meant for those decks an alternative for old Emrakul. She'll fit in another deck, since her casting cost being so low is a really underlooked feature.

This Emrakul is not meant to be cheated in, it's meant to be hardcast imo, unless you're going for a Zombify brew.

Tron can easily put an artifact, an instant, a sorcery, a land, a planeswalker and a creature into the graveyard (maybe even a tribal with All is Dust, or an enchantment if they go full spicy with Oath of Nissa)
Might add her in place of a second Ulamog or in the sideboard.

Its not that Nahiri doesn't blame Ugin, its just that she didn't trust him much in the first place, they don't know eachother that well.

On the other hand she expected better from Sorin. They had a long history together, they were not only friends, but Sorin was her mentor too.

I think the thing that hurt Nahiri the most was that even after depriving Zendikar from its greatest protector he still wouldn't honor their promise and keep the Eldrazi menace in Zendikar under control.

Of course Sprin went to find Ugin and yadda yadda, but Nahiri does not know this. For her, after Sorin locked her in the Helvault for a thousand years he simply didn't care at all, his plane being so heavily guarded that the Eldrazi didn't suppose an immediate threat. And this is why Nahiri is so butthurt in the end. In her eyes, he used her to gain enough time to ward his plane and then discarded her when she was no longer necessary, condemning all of Zendikar and not even having the deference to end her.

In a way, he just threw her away.

12.

She wanted to do literally nothing but kill humans and relished the thought to the exclusion of all else, LOVING the look of betrayal on those who worshiped her when they realized what she was going to do to them, and was planning to genocide literally all non-angel life on the plane to satisfy her sick fetish for killing.

The worst part was that Emrakul didn't even directly corrupt her, it was the simple act of it being summoned to Innistrad by the most assholish planeswalker in MTG history that had it happen, much to said planeswalker's hopes, delights, and plans.

Basically RIP everyone on Innistrad

I wont forgive him simply because he killed off Lorthos right away and my friend keeps fucking top decking that faggot whenever we play Duel commander and he's playing Nissa.

No amount of "decent" writing ability could save a set that was completely and pointlessly rushed, ruined established big bads like Kozilek, hardly had cards to work with due to its card pool size, and solidified Jacetice League as we are to know them today.

Nigga they are gonna be best friends. Have you seen Hanweir?, Its everything white Phyrexians aspire to.

Mark my words, If Emmy somehow survives this block, its gonna invade New Phyrexia, forever changing what it means to be Phyrexian or Eldrazi.

An unholy abomination of steel, glistening oil and eldrazi flesh will be the pre-final boss of the storyline.

Are you trying to tell me Jace's corpse is going to have a big carving that reads "Emmy and Elesh BFFs" on it?

Truly, though, I'm interesting in hearing what Wizards' explanation is for what p.oil does to an eldrazi. Shitty though it will likely be, I'm interested.
