Eternal masters roughly one month away, where's the hype (and further spoilers)?
-
@Juggernaut-GO Don't be silly, they are obviously previewing Lodestone Golem
-
Looks like we now have:
Regal Force (green, rare)
Baleful Strix (gold, rare) -
Counterspell at common. What the FF. Blue is so incredibly overpowered in this set it isn't funny.
By limited standards, I haven't seen a force draft this strong since Red\White in Tempest (not remastered, normal tempest block draft).
-
@EnglishmaninNH HAHA you are close, 4 mana obsolete artifact it is !!!!!
OLI you know I hate lodestone golem ! what a boring card !
-
Ichorid at rare, cabal therapy at uncommon. Gaeas blessing at uncommon and nevinyrral disk at "fuck my life i paid 10 dollars for this shitter"

Hey, they needed an answer to the Dragon combo in limited and Gaea's Blessing fits the bill. This set is looking like a blast to draft...I can't wait to burn my play points once this is released.
-
I hope they add Disintigrate as the X spell, so you can remove your opponent from the game entirely
-
man this is shaping up to be an AWESOME draft format. Like a legacy cube, plus a splash of power, except through randomized draft packs. Super excited to try it out.
-
one of the green mythics has to be fastbond, right?

Nope, Fastbond is on the Reserve List.
-
@H oh man totally right. face, meet palm!
-
Maelstrom Wanderer being a Mythic complicates things. I suspect Wizards may have upped the number of mythics to 16 with 2 for each color, 2 artifacts, 2 gold, 2 lands. The alternative is that there is only one Mythic land (Karakas) and Rishadan Port is a rare (It's possible) or left out entirely. If it's left out, I consider that a horrible blunder - for those that don't play Magic Online, the card is THE most expensive piece of digital cardboard - 20 dollars more than Black Lotus.
-
Eternal Masters is turning out to be pretty decent, all things considered...
-
It looks very fun to play in Limited. The commons/uncommons so far have been pretty good, and that will add long term value to the packs.
But the rares/mythics are very weak. We knew about Wasteland and Force of Will. I think most of us were expecting Karakas, but not as a mythic. Balance, Necropotence, Worldgorger Dragon are all really terrible mythic rares to open. Jace and Dack both being in the set was a little unexpected, and there are a few nice rares getting reprinted like Sensei's Top and Sylvan Library but all in all, I'm very underwhelmed with it.
The set needs cards from Portal 3 kingdoms. They appear to be absent from the list.
There is value in this set right now, because prices haven't adjust. But expect to see a lot of cards like Foil Force of Will $800 at the beginning of the year, $350 today. Gamble $35 to $15, and still a lot lower to go. The "value" in the set is going to errode very fast, especially with cards that aren't played in old school.
Maelstrom Wanderer is a great example of the idiocy of Wizards. Here is a hated commander. It's one of the most powerful ones in Multiplayer and French, the card was $20, and they decide to print more of them at Mythic. Why? There's already 2 printings of this card. Why the hell is it in this set? How does printing more of these improve the eternal formats, or EDH for that matter.
Rishidan Port, Misdirection, and Unmask are cards that need to be included in this set for MODO purposes only. Where are they?
-
Vindicate. Wrath of God. Hymn to Tourach. Natural Order. Nev Disk.
Sorry, I know some people are disappointed, but I can't wait to draft this set. It's going to be like opening packs of my youth!
-
@joshuabrooks Agree on the point about it feeling like back in the good old days.... still need Craw Wurm though. Best card ever when you started out, I mean six power!!!
-
@kistrand first (starter) pack ever opened had force of nature and royal assassin, Bayou player from the start

I agree with the mythics... they leave a lot to be desired, but I wasnt even expecting Jace, let alone Dack. Necro is probably the worst mythic. Not only is it a worthless pull for anyone playing Legacy, but Necro is readily available and the new art sucks. So far, I've been surprised and rather stoked with what they've put into the rare slots. Altogether, the list is pretty good thus far, minus the mythics. I can't be frustrated about one or two cards when so much of what I need to nab will be in these packs.
-
@Juggernaut-GO hehe nice. I would not, however, had understood back then that Royal Assassin was any good but an 8/8 creature on the other hand... now you're talking
-
This entire set is cranking my Masters "Block Constructed" commander deck up to the next level.
