Updated with 100% confirmed art on all cards.
Cheers!
Looks like 100% of even the most questionable spoilers were confirmed today! I think a few people said something about eating their hat or bum or cat if these turned out to be true. Ill settle for crow.
Also, If you hadn’t heard already… walkint Atlas IS an artifact. It has an immediate eratta effective on it.
Young Griffin wasn’t Young Griffin afterall
Only thing I saw wrong… rest seems completely right.
Oh, and I liked the other Veteran’s Reflexes’ picture better.
And Ravine Paladin was actually Talus Paladin. Otherwise spot on.
it was functionally the same they dont claim to get the card names right (small discarder=mire troll)
Apex hawk was a 1/1 initially not a 2/2. When I read it I thought that white was getting the shaft.
the newly revealed art is all great
I think they should reprint veteran reflexes with your art though.
Young Griffen Original Artwork FTW!
Wow thats a big mistake lol cant believe they overlooked it
So Quicksand ended up being a common? Awesome!
IMO white seems like the strongest color in limited for the prereleases. It’s fliers are probably better than blue’s and white’s fliers in Zendikar are pretty strong too. Add that to good aggressive creatures like Steppe Lynx and Loam Lion and you have a great aggro color. It’s removal spells both in Worldwake and Zendikar are decent too.
WG or WU is more effective, though. There isn’t really much stand alone white for limited. Other than that…
I can’r believe Bojuka Bog is real. My Ascenssion deck is officialy broken against black. And lots of other decks too.
Only vampires, bloodquake, Jund, and Esper. You’re still solid against about a quarter of all the decks in standard.
I feel your pain, I run an ascension deck too. Fuck that card, seriously. Luckily it won’t end up in a lot of decks because it has such limited use, and won’t take up more than one or two slots of a sideboard. Basically it becomes what Relic of Progenitus already is.
I hated this card for awhile, but then I thought about it – Nobody is really going to use it. It won’t take the place of Relic in SBs because A) who the hell sides in land? and B) it doesn’t have the staying power, and thus lacks the same versitility, of RoP. With Relic you can selectively remove only what you want to every turn. You drop one of these, I can probably still set off an ascension before you get another one. With Relic, the thing is NEVER going off.
As soon as somebody sides in RoP, I side out Ascensions. As soon as somebody sides this in, I’ll be figuring out a way to work around it. Even if it means overextending like a bitch for a turn, as long as I get the thing off and there are no Hexmages, I’m happy. Besides, the point of Ascension is to win within two or three turns of setting it off.
Damn im pretty sure that i know you from back in the day. My name is Wayne Blake Farris i went by blake when i knew you when i lived back in Lehigh acres and you had that house with the pool and my grandparents lived behind you. You got struck up in a conversation with me and my parents a couple of days back and i figured ide do some reasearch to get in contact with you again. Any who if you wanna catch up or whatever my house phone is 770-646-6212 and if you cant get me there trying calling or texting 678-988-4202. Hope to hear from you.
I liked the fake art on the Graypelt Hunter better. : P
Dude, how broken is Allies and Marshal’s Anthem??? They all come back together, right? So now they ALL get +1/+1 AND they go off together when they come back…
I am officially running FOUR white decks! Boros, White Weenie, Extended mono-white Isochron Silence Fog, and Mono-White Allies!
Isochron Silence Fog:
4 Kami of False Hope 4 Isochron Scepter
4 Ethereal Haze 4 Silence
4 Angelsong 4 Holy Day
4 Niveous Wisps 4 Luminarch Ascension
4 Howling Mine 2 Day of Judgement
4 Secluded Steppe 4 Kabira Crossroads
14 Plains
I just know I’m going to get a foil mythic in my box of WWK. Only it’s going to be Eye of Ugin so it won’t count for anything… -.-
I hate mythic rarity.
I’m sure the Eye will be a game-breaker as soon as RoTE comes out, not sure how, but it will be.
Does Eldrazi Monument istself even count as a “Colorless Eldrazi” spell? That Eye of Ugin is one perplexing kind of a land…
counts as colorless
but not eldrazi
yeah, which is really weird…
Wow. Is that Bog Land a COMMON?? A Common Tormod Crypt at will. Bye bye graveyards everywhere
Yeah, I love this common land cycle.
It’s a nice card, but will it real see play in standard? No one will play it in their main deck because there is no use for it agains most decks, and how many people will sideboard four copies of a land? I’m not trying to make th card lok bad, but would you play it in a Jund deck?
Major overhaul on artifacts. 4tap 5/3 that fucks the rest over, gotta love a lodestone golem 8D also my vamps get MORE removal as if feast of blood was not enough. i do not really play landfall or multi/kicker to avoid land problems, i am all about the low cost. one blue counter target instant? why print it in the same format as lightning bolt? explore simply keeps reminding us that green can play an assload of lands, and omnath locus of mana would make things bad if it lived. i dont see any shroud in this set, im not sad tho, i live to kill creatures. Bloodbraid owns with a crusher zendikon. All in all, lots more to work with, have fun with worldwake.
also 4/5 for three freakin mana, 2 tap 3 to a creature and a player, continuous 5/5 dragon tokens, 1 tap 13/13, four tap 6/6, the list goes on. we have a lot of support for a lot of different deck types now. may the future hold much promise.
correction. 1 tap 12/12 if it comes in as a 13/13 then your already dead.
if ur runnin plat angel u may not be dead!!
terra eternal. who wants to play some indestructible land creatures? I DO. who wants all immediate mana fixers with amulet of vigor? I DO. who wants to own with mono black? lol.
multi color makes its glorious return, in the same set as… what the hell is the point of the mind sculptor… x.o wtf
is novablast wurm not a legendary creature?
No, but it definitely should have been, doesn’t make much sense to have only two multicolor cards in a set and have one be legendary and the other one not be.
Yeah, that’s racist, right?
Someone sue WotC, please.
(Are you on drugs? Why would it be legendary just because of it’s colours? Are you stuck in Kamigawa?)
It doesn’t have to be legendary one swings the other dies both swing they both die.
Essentially it’s a ghetto legendary rule.
The only time it would matter if is if you both have 1 and i feel a path would be better and chances of that happening are low.
unless you have eldrazi monument in play which is an obvious combo with that card.
I guess maybe it isn’t strictly mechanically necessary, but it does fit the flavor. And please stop insulting us because you disagree with one minor suggestion I put out there.
they probably only do it to keep it from being an overpowered general in “EDH” decks =P
Lol they messed up walking atlas. Its supposed to say artifact.
If 2 Novablast Wurms attack, They would both survive right?
Nope, each instance of their effect triggers at the same time, therefore destroying each other.
thats why they didnt bother makin it legendary
There are various ways to use more than one of these and not have them destroying each other, the most obvious is eldrazi monument.
who’s Grotag (on Grotag thrasher and goblin roughrider)?
the grotag are lizards
Dude, how broken is Allies and Marshal’s Anthem??? They all come back together, right? So now they ALL get +1/+1 AND they go off together when they come back…
I am officially running FOUR white decks! Boros, White Weenie, Extended mono-white Isochron Silence Fog, and Mono-White Allies! WHITE POWER!!
Not very broken. You would need a lot of mana to get allies that big. Just use Iona.
does anyone know what the spoilers for the intro packs?? i wanna get my money’s worth to buy them or not.
Here are the rares:
GR has Wolfbriar Elemental and Terrastodon
RW has Chain Reaction and Mordant Dragon
B has the two legendary vampires
GU has Seers Sundial and Goliath Sphinx
UW has Archon of Redemption and Marshal’s Anthem
It looks like the Black one is the best to get as it’s common and uncommon slots are filled with vampires and removal.
The R/W has the Chain Reaction (which is probably the most versatile card in decks)
I personally wanted the Wolfbriar.
ima throw basilisk collar in my jund deck, back to twenty mutha%$^(#@$*^!!! =)
fuck jund
[...] you haven’t already checked out the Worldwake Spoiler page lately, all of the real art is finally updated there as well as in the gatherer. I am happy to [...]
If i make a land that was already in play a creature with one of the Zendikon aura’s, can i attack that turn? or does it have sumon sickness?
nope, transforming does not count as “entering the battlefield”
die edition is scheiße…
schni schna schnappi
shut up
it has haste,
you can attack immediately
Nice set, except Bojuka Bog. What a way to f**k up all graveyard related decks with one stupid common!! I mean Vault, Agadeem, Knight of the Reliquary and Dredge all down the drain. Shame
Nobody mentioned that Abyssal Scornlight wasn’t printed. What do you think about that?
From the beginning we labeled it as speculation.. it was the second card we had up after smother.. 3 months ago. Some of those cards at the beginning aren’t going to pan out. I think we had it properly labeled the entire time though.
[...] MTG: Worldwake launches today if you’re into that sort of thing. [...]
So if the Omnath Locus of Mana keeps your green mana pool from emptying at the end of phases and steps, that means you can carry mana from one turn to the next, right?
I’m surprised to see no comments on a card that could have some very creative uses, especially with some of the multi-kicker cards in this set.
in worldwake will there be any other plainswalkers exept for jace bc i want ajana and i dont no were to get him besides the internet
Are you honestly asking that stupid as **** question? The entire set has been released already and yes Jace is the only planeswalker in Worldwake. In addition any new ajani would not just be a reprint so you will still have to find the ones that you are looking for online or at your local store in addition to the fact that Ajani will likely not come back any time soon since there are already 2 of them.
Yeah… But he did come back, seeing as how he’s now in the M10 set. Sorry homie
http://www.anycraze.com/showcard.asp?id=MXWM001&pp=search_bar
He’s just not in Worldwake. But he’s legit.
With adomination angel, the cards removed from play do they return untapped or in the position they were left in. I see now where in the text mentioning this.
creatures that return to the battlefield return in the same state which they left. That’s why creatures with counters on them may still have the counters when they return.
Enchantment Auras return to play, but whether they have to be attached to the previous permanent or can be attached to a different permanent I’m not sure. I do know that if there isn’t a legal target for the enchantment aura when it returns, it will be put into the graveyard.
Lands or artifacts, I’m not sure but my guess is that they come back the way they left.
Here’s what WOTC has to say regarding the Ruin Ghost, which also exiles lands. Perhaps it works the same way with Admonition Angel?
from the text rules
Ruin Ghost
{1}{W}
Creature — Spirit
1/1
{W}, {T}: Exile target land you control, then return it to the battlefield under your control.
* As Ruin Ghost’s ability resolves, the targeted land is exiled, then immediately returned to the battlefield. The land that enters the battlefield is a different permanent from the one that left. Any counters, Auras, and so on that were affecting the old land won’t affect the new one. Any spells or abilities that were targeting the old land don’t target the new one. Whether the old land was tapped or untapped has no bearing on the new one.
* The returned land behaves like any other land that’s put onto the battlefield. If it has an ability that says it enters the battlefield tapped, it does so. (Otherwise it enters the battlefield untapped.) If it has an enters-the-battlefield triggered ability, that ability triggers.
* The land returns under your control, regardless of who owns it.
hehe elmlick got owned
by himself
where are the rest of the cards? walking atlas is number 131/145, and the lands are from zendikar….
It’s just in a weird order, tectonic edge is 145/145
Just out of order. No worries!
The lands are from zendikar because worldwake is a zendikar expansion.Thats why the symbol on the cards look similar.
Ok i would run black/blue deck. Black vampires to run the creatures and damage dealt and blue spells to back it all up. I’m gonna try that out.
look at the flavor text of the surrakar banisher, the “don’t” there is not italicized.
My interpretation was that they were applying emphasis to the “don’t”..
how does the locus of mana work?
if you tap a land or creature for green mana, it will disappear after that turn right? But if you have Omnath, Locus of Mana, the green mana will just stay there and will be waiting to be used.
so u can tap the mana and say wait till next turn and that mana is still there, so say u tap 2 green mana, end your turn, then next turn tap 2 green mana again and pump 4 into a creature or somthing like that?
Nah, the mana only survives steps and phases, so it will vanish after a turn, I guess.
yes. that will work if you have omnath
wow this set blows balls
to many one turn end cards
magic the gathering is sure fucking up on their cards on. I think its gonna end within the next five years. Sorry Magic The Gathering i love you but you gotta learn to make cards like you did and stop trying to do something you dont understand how to do!
best set ever?
NiksLelp 4 Most likely. Most likely.
