Sixty Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 The back of the box. We got It That Betrays, Consume the Meek, Stirring Wildwood, new art Primal Command. These cards are not likely to be in BFZ. However, these two newer cards will be: Eldrazi [something something] RBCreature - Eldrazi Drone? Uncommon?[keyword] (This card is colorless.)(?): Target colorless creature gains haste until end of turn?3/1 Human Ally [something something] 2GWCreature - Human Soldier Ally ®~'s power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control.Tap an untapped Ally you control: ~ gains your choice of first strike, vigilance, or trample until end of turn.*/* Speculate away.

Flame Dragon Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It That Betrays is actually REALLY sweet to see get reprinted since its pretty expensive. New Eldrazi is also net. Having a colored card that is colorless is something they've done before and works for them. New Allies are sweet. Nice to see them mixing it up for how they work.

Trebuchet MS Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Oh boy, colourless shenanigans. Ugin's useability would drop significantly against them, and Ultimate Price won't do squat. Then again, the set itself would have its share of things that still work, for the sake of Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wow, that is genius. How freaking cool to emphasise that colourless theme. How do you make a colourless theme work without ruining Limited? You make the coloured cards colourless. Tarkir did it as well with different execution, and both tie in really nicely for what seems like an interesting Standard environment. I like that the Allies are being done with a much more subtle touch now, thank goodness. And the new Ally can block with first strike which is cool.

Flame Dragon Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 What I find interesting about the Eldrazi mechanic is that its really painfully obvious in hindsight, but I don't think I was expecting them to use it. I like when things like that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poc Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's nice to have duel decks with actual value in them again, other than Mom, the last few were pretty abysmal for value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Mystery new keyword confirmed to be Devoid. Another new keyword featured from the upcoming BFZ is Awaken. (Awaken X - <cost> - If a spell is paid for its awaken cost, put X +1/+1 counters on target land you control. That land turns into a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. It's still a land, and it's still colourless.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 This Duel Deck is oozing with value, just like the clash pack. I wonder if they're just trying their best to avoid another Speed v Cunning or they're just matching up with the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
