Is there any chance at all they print tokens for the power nine because of this?

Wow it’s the art from the Urza Vanguard card!

Would love to see this in a retro frame 😫

Historic rebalances for RW energy: Galvanic Discharge, Guide of Souls, and Ocelot Pride (mtgzone.com)

Wizards rebalanced 3 cards in Historic effective tomorrow, all in RW energy and related decks:

Galvanic Discharge now only gives you 2 energy
Guide of Souls now requires 4 energy to get the counters/flying
Ocelot Pride now costs 1W

In response to the last Arena Champs: "Making up 58% of the field at the most recent Arena Championship 6, Boros Energy demonstrated its power at one of the highest levels of competitive play."

Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca by Chun Lo in c/[email protected]

Interesting that the art had all blue background glyphs but the finished card made it Green/Blue. I wonder if at the time of the art prompt Kumena was only supposed to be blue?

Love the optimism! I for sure will hit my classic 1-3 drop but I'll definitely be playing in this. I wish that card was for everyone on entry, though I'll also never not use the DiTerlizzi original.

Hopefully Grief and/or Psychic Frog eat a ban before November.

Oh cool, I’m glad they did for all the people who like playing with him. Good job by the RC.

Wow I don’t think I’ve ever actually looked at that art before but yeah dang, thats up there.

Probably one of the most horrific card arts ever, still can’t believe this made it onto a card but really glad we get them every once in a while.

Ad Nauseam is another I think of when I’m thinking of gruesome cards.

tl;dr Neheb the Eternal is nerfed. Anything that just says “postcombat main phase” now only refers to the “second main phase” so if you have something creating more then it won’t keep triggering.

Darwin Kastle!

I love this card and played it nonstop during Urza’s block in Ponza.

[BLC] Explore (new art) in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Best Explore art to date, perhaps second only to the Hildebrandts’ LotR commander art. This is saying something too bc the original Avon art is already amazing.

[BLC] Warstorm Surge (new art) in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Art is amazing, those moles are simultaneously frightening and adorable.

That beard is both hilarious and amazing!

Sorry for the private Facebook group post but this was the only place I could find with info on the sale.

Pretty crazy bidding and a price indicative of just how much the Magic art market has grown.

Seems like an amazing card for Tron or decks running Urza’s Saga or that can support the colorless cost. Pain lands seem more useful too. Crazy efficiency here.
