Flame Dragon Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The new Day/Night mechanic in Innistrad is slowly being explained. We now know that the cards are double sided and to transform you flip it over to the other side. We'll learn more shortly, but yea, people are like WHAAAA.

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The fight mechanic seems pretty interesting. And Curses seems very fun. I need to to see more cards with Morbid before I can decide if i like it or not. Transform seems neat but for werewolves it might be a little tricky to pull off. EDIT: I also want to see a few Lands with Transform.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niv-Mizzet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Love transform, gonna need to pick up some sleeves. Morbid is nice, nothing new there but w/e. Curses look awesome. Not a fan of Fight but it looks like its just another piece of reworded rules, so it will most likely not be used in large amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I actually think other wise. The fight ability has been used several times before and the fact that they are keywording it makes me think they want to get more use out of it without having all the extra lines of text.

Niv-Mizzet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm fine with it in small doses, just not as a major mechanic. And the name "fight"? Really, Wizards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niv-Mizzet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah, that's our 5 ability planeswalker. The day side has two abilities and the transform condition, and the night side will have three more abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Double Sided Guys in the Check list is called: [b]Garruk Relentless[/b] [/quote] I caught that already. When people were like, check list gave spoilers for all double sided cards, lolololol. I'm like, that not a big deal, side from Garruk being a 3G. Cause 4 mana walkers are always good and only needing G makes it a funny comparison to the GGG version.

-Lightray Daedalus- Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 So we got this: Moonmist 1G Instant Transform all Humans. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn by creatures other than Werewolves and Wolves. It has the pic of the werewolf seen in a Deck Box ealier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 And that is the card that will make everyone shut up (myself included) about not liking the Wolf flip trigger. Between a single player needing to cast both spells, most of them being early drops where casting no spells isn't that big an issue, and the flavor of the lack of control werewolves have over transforming had more or less had me warmed up to them. Add this in and I'm very happy about things now and can't wait to see what cards we see next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more Transform creatures I see, the more I want to get Innistrad.

.Nu-13 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Oh my god, double-faced card in every pack? And it doesn't counts towards the rarity ratio, so you can get 2 Mythics in one pack if you're lucky? ...Innistrad just got even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Fun you can get 3 Mythics in the same pack!!!! Or at least 3 Rares in the same pack!!! What kind of cards replaces the DFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
