9 New Planechase Cards, One new Zendikar card

August 19th, 2009

First, the Zendikar preview. It’s another card that might, in a few days, turn out to be fake. If it is real, then it’s going to be the prerelease card.

Now the Planechase cards:

Talkinator Move

August 19th, 2009

I have moved the talkinator to the footer of the front page. It was taking up to much of the sidebar. Also if the talkinator doesnt work in the footer I will just deleat it and not worry about it any more…

Convertible Turtle – is it fake? and Zendikar basic lands

August 17th, 2009

A little over a moth ago, someone posted a picture of Convertible Turtle to MTG Salvation. (A Zendikar card – we knew the name before) It was quickly declared to be a fake, so I didn’t post it. But, I’m beginning to suspect that it might be a real card. This was the image of the card:

If that’s a fake, someone did a lot of work to trick people on MTG Salvation, which just seems pointless. Also, if you look in the background of the picture, there are floating obelisks, like we’ve seen on the basic lands. (Which I will post at the end of this post) Now, a 4/4 for 3 might seem like a little too much power for the amount of mana, but the ability says “Each creature without flying gets -3/-0″ and this is a creature without flying, making it a 1/4. I’ve made a MSE mockup to show the card more clearly: (Sorry, I can’t use the artwork)

Now, here are10 out of 20 basic lands:

First Zendikar Preview Cards

August 13th, 2009

I have the first 4 Zendikar preview cards. (MSE Mockups) These are the cards in the Planechase decks.

EDIT: These cards are all common, not rare. In the eventual visual spoiler, they will be commons.

The first card is Beast Hunt:

Beast Hunt

The next card, Hideous End, is more interesting than that:

Hideous End

The third card, Kor Sanctifiers is even more interesting. It has a kicker cost:

Kor Sanctifiers

“If it was kicked” is a new phrase that apparently is replacing “If the kicker cost was payed”

The final card, Whiplash Trap, introduces a new instant subtype:

Whiplash Trap

Planechase rules, 2 plane cards, 4 basic lands from Zendikar

August 10th, 2009

Today the Planechase rules have been revealed. I will post the basics here.

To play, you need a plane deck of at least 10 plane cards. (shuffled like a normal deck) You also need a 60 card deck and a plane die. The plane die looks like this:

That is the planeswalker symbol

that is the chaos symbol

The player who goes first flips the top plane card face up. These cards are not permanents, so you can’t affect them in any way with normal Magic cards. Whoever’s turn it is controls the plane card.

The top effect is always on, and the bottom effect happens whenever you roll the chaos symbol on the plane die. These effects use the stack like normal effects. You can roll it any time you could play a sorcery. Each time you roll it, you pay an amount of mana equal to the amount of times you’ve rolled it this turn. (the first roll in a turn is free) If you roll the planeswalker symbol, the owner of the current plane puts it on the bottom of his/her plane deck and you flip up the top card in your plane deck, which becomes the new active plane. If there is an ability when you leave the plane, it is put on the stack. For example:

There were also 4 basic plains previewed from Zendikar. (NOT planes)

The first 2 are normal. You get them from intro packs, but nowhere else:

The next 2 are still basic planes, but they look more like unhinged lands. When you open a booster pack or a fat pack, you get these:
