Silver border cards were unique, cool, and easy to understand for even new players. The acorn is inconsistent and, like the tiny planeswalker symbol for the list cards, ultimately frustrating for many.
@@aaronG916 I mean, I’m saying it jokingly, but since we’re talking about playtest cards anyway I’m also being serious. A compleated sliver would be in the realm of regular magic, since artificial slivers definitely exist, the sliver researchers do some bonkers shenanigans, and Phyrexia-adjacent slivers already exist in black. But regardless of whether that one is a playtest card, if only because they don’t want it “official” in the story, I can definitely see something like: Compleated Slivdrazi Hive Defiler XWUBRG (the black pip is Phyrexian, the X is actually Wingding colorless required) Artifact Creature - Eldrazi Phyrexian Sliver All Eldrazi, Phyrexians, and Slivers in all zones are all three types in addition to their other types. Slivers you cast or control have devoid. As an additional cost to play Sliver permanent spells, you may pay two life. Those spells cost W, U, B, R, G, or Wingding less to cast (one of your choice) if life was paid this way. This effect only reduces the colored or wingding mana you pay (not # generic). If any Sliver you control has Annihilator, Slivers without Annihilator gain Annihilator 1.
Terrapins are the semi-aquatic, freshwater-living versions of turtles. They live in either fresh or slightly salty (brackish) water, and you will find them by waterholes, ponds or lakes. They tend to swim quite often, but also spend their time on land, basking in the sun and occasionally burrowing in the mud. -google
Wizards didn’t make tokens for Garth One-Eye, so I doubt they will make tokens for this Alchemy nonsense either. However, if not, they are yet again in a way validating proxies.
But kindred is for the enchantment. It was meant to differentiate tribal and tribal. Also since it’s realistically just WotC trying to score brownie points instead of trying to fix a real issue like the inconsistent card quality, I’ll still refer to tribal decks as tribal.
@laurentrobitaille2204 Yep, all they did that for was to get brownie points so I always call it Tribal as well. Nobody I've explained that to thought the word tribal was offensive.
They have a different back, no? Oracle makes you shuffle the Power into your deck so they'd have to have the same back unfortunately. MTG 30 is a shit product
17:45 Didn’t the Gatewatch manage to pull Ulamog and Kozilek onto Zendikar to kill them? If so, couldn’t the Phyrexian theoretically do something similar?
I don't know if it was random, but I didn't get a Pollenbright Druid with the Bloomburrow Lair. It came with Frilled Mystic in mine. Still a disappointment either way.
I also got a Frilled Mystic with mine, and the brain dead: creatures set I got an evolving wilds bonus card in that art style. I can't complain because they were free cards that I didn't factor into my decision to purchase the sets.

Quick quip about Oracle of the Alpha: Ancestral Recall is represented in th art because the bird is wearing the same robes and headpiece as the wizard in the original alpha art
I love how Hasbro really has been pushing WOTC to reprint the power nine because they don't care about the game itself and just want that money printed out.
In Yugioh, we've got cards that have been released with their original artworks after being censored when they came to the states, referred to as "Lost Arts". Kinda feels like what they did with the Horned Turtle here (That and the "Horned" Turtle grabbing a gal... I see what they did there. Then again it might just be my old play groups nickname for it, the "Horny Turtle".) And that Alchemy junk... That's just Wizards going "Well, you missed out on getting an official set of proxies for this card. Guess you can't use it." smh, sometimes I wonder if WotC is just ran by flying monkeys at this point. And let's be fair, that Phryei-drazi.... thing.... Would never swing. Someone would just cheat it out and shotgun spells till the whole table dies of poison.
The fact that they are putting un-cards in the form of alchemy cards in the packs will make me not want really anything to do with those mystery boosters.
I can't wait to NOT play with these cards. Yippee! The helmet the Bird WIzard is wearing is the Ancestral Recall reference. And I suppose the medallion on the belt is referencing the face of one of the skeletons on time walk.
I think Don’t Worry About It will work similarly to exiling something face down under a card, except that discard interaction works against it. Pretty cool concept.
about Annihinfect: having extra effects depending on the amount of poison counters is even more interesting than corrupted. There is a psychological element of "oh no, the more I'm infected the worse it gets."
Congratulations on being part of Paragon! I honestly can't justify spending more money and time (and even space!) on a new game, but I hope it does very well. Excellent news coverage, as always.
Adding Flash, reducing cost, or putting cards directly onto the battlefield are already common. If an "Ignore sorcery" effect were to come in, it would break all formats it is legal in, shift the meta to some combo decks and be banned as soon as the product that includes it goes off sale... So, Modern Horizons 4 confirmed.
There are a few different arena only mechanics that can be easily reproduced in physical MTG. The list is as follows, conjure, seek, another two conjure and seek like mechanics. Conjure and its twin are simple just place a token copy wherever it says. For seek and its twin treat it like cascade with the exception that you reveal the appropriate card to an outside judge of some kind. There is one last arena only mechanic that actually could work in physical MTG but it isn't perpetual mechanics its something that places a card of directly into some location like the field. Then specialize could function in physical MTG if properly executed alongside drafting but unfortunately this would basically require a lot more extra information than the other abilities already require.
"Seek" can be implemented as "reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card with [X] characteristic, put it into your hand then shuffle." "Conjure" is just "wishing" for a card.
@enricomassignani Seek/ conjure will sometimes place the cards in play, your deck, your hand or even exile fromtimetotime. The same as draft and the conjure/seek twins in arena I call those mechanics twins of conjure/seek because they function identical to those mechanics with zero differences between them except for name. My biggest problem with arena only mechanics is that they have a tendency to malfunction. I have used a seek ability and get something from my deck and gotten cards that were not in my deck or I had already all copies of out of my deck. For example in one game I had pulled all four of my copies of soul warden and through the seek mechanic I was given a 5th, and 6th in the same turn. I conceded because it would have been cheating but it still happened. Technically perpetual could be implemented in paper through the use of stickers but it still would have major problems. I think even though they were attempting to implement a fun mechanic with many of these things that they have attempted they were very badly implemented and because of that they don't function or don't function properly. I'm speaking of arena only mechanics.
10:00 You could get Nalathni Dragon also from the duelist Magazine issue number 3#. Fun Story in my town the issue was very rare(although in the long run they it where printed into oblivion) and sold out soon so not many got the dragon. I got one and could trade it for a Vavictis Asmadi from Legends and 20 bugs which was hugeeeee in 1994 as it was even bevor the anouncement of the revised edition and there for no more printing of the power nine and thats where it all started that people gave direct money for single cards.
With Oracle of the Alpha you all can use the P9 proxies you found within the 30th anniversary boosters. Expecting prices going up for proxies now. Again. LOL
So. Hear me out. 0 mana 0/0 that when it dies, it creates a mox pearl, or emerald, dependant on what version you have. When it dies it goes into exile, this ability can only trigger once per turn.
(7:04) I really wish Wizards stuck with silver borders for non-legal Un-set cards. It feels dumb that they changed to a much less noticeable acorn symbol instead starting with Unfinity. (15:14) When I saw this Whiteout on reddit, I got a good chuckle.
Even in casual environment, using Oracle Of The Alpha with a lot of blink spells seems like very bad kind of fun... Also - white out after that infamous turtle. I see...
They can already make "Don't Worry About It" ... the only difference being it wouldn't be an aura? Minor in most decks really, but some decks it would make or break its inclusion ig. Enchantment - When ~ enters the battlefield exile a card from your hand face down underneath ~. You may cast the card. 1 cheaper, copy it. It would be a little too powerful at 3 imo, I would rather see it at 4, but it seems feasable
bizarre that it's not an eldrazified phyrexian, since the eldrazi are so much more powerful, and more prone to corrupt others, well at least emrakul's brood. Maybe you could phrexianize spawns from ulamog or kozilek's brood?
dude i think annihinfect would be a REALLY DOPE effect.... instead of annil 1-2-3-4 , its about how many poison counters said person has...in this case 2....what a cool idea for a card. i wish this was a real thing.or they print a phyrex eldrazi ,not so crazy like this one but a 7/7 8PP drop, mence with etb each opp gets a poison counter, and each opp discards a card for each counter they have and u draw a card for each card discarded this way.... with anihinfect on it ...
I suspect that they will release revised Alchemy cards for foundation. But goodness, why can't they just drop the price further? If they could just drop the price per box by $20-30 that would be great.
Everything from beta has value, if you want to just play oldschool original cards you can play the 93/94 format that just uses cards from the earliest days
Someone on reddit had the answer: "For those who may not get the joke (perhaps because you're not native English speakers): "terrapin" is a word for small freshwater turtles; it's mostly a North-American colloquialism and has no real biological meaning. Hence Terry Pin, a turtle."
I kind of doubt that the turtle is going to have any "reprint value" since it sees zero play. Only reason anyone would want it would be the rarity of the set and the silliness of the art. And as a reprint, only the second has value.
"There is zero chance that the entirety of the eldrazi could be corrupted by phyrexian influence" - From being a comic book fan, I've learned that whatever the writers want to happen CAN happen. I agree it sounds stupid, but Wizards isn't known for smart decision making. If there's money to be made, then lore be damned.
A Phyrexian Eldrazi can't in my opinion storywise not be a completed creature, how would you do that to what is essentially an elder god. On the other hand, i could see a phyrexian creature be corrupted by an edrazi.
Lol it’s funny that game didn’t sponsor me seeing as I invented the electricity for them and single-handedly dismantled the deadliest gang of hitman for them to make their customers free to buy their product, but I guess they figure well. Dans great grandfather invented electricity and electricity can run a glass kiln and someone can make a game using Glass and it would be our competition so by Dan helping the entire world more than anyone in the history of mankind Dan helped our competitors more than us.

The acorn symbol thing instead of silver-bordered cards is abysmal!
I've always been a huge fan of silver borders. The acorn is just a lame way for WotC to cut costs and I loathe it.

So the mystery booster 2 has arena mechanis.
I seem to recall that the original Nalanthi Dragon had better art.
Eldrazi with toxic looks like a good card too play with your friends
Well played wizards. Oracle of the alpha = magic 30 sales
Bonus Elves, or Bonus " L " s ?
Sooo is the mystery booster pretty much the next "unglued"? Or a mix of some sort at least. Seems like it.
Seems so. There’s normal cards, but there are also these weird ones.
So Alchemy in paper: love it. WotC: "Suck an egg, Hatcher."
Sliverakul?
A Phyrexian Eldrazi can't in my opinion storywise not be a completed creature, how would you do that to what is essentially an elder god. On the other hand, i could see a phyrexian creature be corrupted by an edrazi.
Maybe we’ll see a card with the name “Power Nine” and some crazy behavior?
Power 9 tokens or just use proxies
Terry Pin is a pun of Terrapin
the power 9 has been in alchemy for a while with thaty wizzard thing that summons all 9 into ur deckl'
Dont know if you got the memo from the comment section there purp, but terra-pin is a type of turtle.
Lol it’s funny that game didn’t sponsor me seeing as I invented the electricity for them and single-handedly dismantled the deadliest gang of hitman for them to make their customers free to buy their product, but I guess they figure well. Dans great grandfather invented electricity and electricity can run a glass kiln and someone can make a game using Glass and it would be our competition so by Dan helping the entire world more than anyone in the history of mankind Dan helped our competitors more than us. Instead we will support Hatcher cause he hasn’t done a thing to help the entire world. Lol just horsing around I enjoy your videos.
