CLG Klavier Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Can I just say the Devoid Eldrazi look incredibly beautiful? Colored top + colorless frame looks so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Absolutely love Awaken as a mechanic. It's beautifully designed. Ingest proved my theory that Eldrazi would be tied to exile!mill this time around. Also, more multicolor cards? Hell yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Not sure I like the gold frame that much for the Eldrazi. Not sure how I'll feel about the other mono colors, but the Black frame looks SWEET. The hedrony texture is also a really sweet touch. As I said in the other thread, Devoid is such an obvious mechanic for the Eldrazi, but it just at all on my radar for things to expect. Ingest is a cool mechanic for them and Sower certainly hinted at it. Can end up being pretty powerful in limited. Awaken is such a sweet mechanic. High costs so they are only live late in the game when throwing away lands isn't that big an issue. Landfall's return is pretty expected. Its such a great mechanic. I wonder if this is all the mechanic or if they have 1 more they are keeping hidden away. Its certainly possible that this is it, but the last 3 blocks have had 5 so they might still surprise us.

Spinny Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 If you have that last landfall card and then cast Sower +++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 If you have that last landfall card and then cast Sower +++++ It's worth noting that the same applies to pretty much every landfall card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's worth noting that the same applies to pretty much every landfall card.Yeah, shame you have to cast it or i'd use it in my Mayael EDH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 What everyone else said. I have to ask though: Why is Dominator Drone's torso so human-like? Is the actual drone a headcrab on top of some vampire or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was ready to ask if the "colorless" Eldrazi cards could be in any EDH deck due to being treated as coloress, then I remembered you can't produce the mana for it anyway so it doesn't really matter :cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the actual drone a headcrab on top of some vampire or something? I think you're right. It looks like the actual eldrazi here's just a mask with legs. Which fits the whole "dominator" name.

.Rai Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 For those who missed the lore of the original Rise of the Eldrqzi, the vampires are essentially a slave race created by the Eldrazi, the hooks on their backs used quite literally to control them. Which is what that headcrab Eldrazi is doing in Dominator Drone's art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Do we know that they were actually created by the Eldrazi? One of the note worthy things about the Zendikar vampires is that when Nahiri woke up for a few hundred year nap she was surprised to see vampires on the plan so we know they weren't always there.

Vampires weren't created by the Eldrazi as far as we know. They existed before that, but after the Eldrazi definitely altered their anatomy by adding those hooks on.
