Default [TS] Liege of the Pit, Unyaro Bees & more...


[OfficialHydrodisclaimer]

A little more info was cross checked this morning for the 'mill, thanks to numerous anon informers!

Liege of the Pit
5bbb
Creature-Demon
Flying, Trample
During your upkeep, sacrifice a creature other than Liege of the Pit or it deals 7 damage to you.
Morph: bbbb
7/7
Rare

Unyaro Bees
ggg
Creature- Insect
Flying
g:Unyaro Bees gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
3g, sacrifice Unyaro Bees: Unyaro Bees deals 2 damage to target creature or player
1/1
Rare

Tendrils of Corruption
3b
Sorcery
Tendrils of Corruption deals damage equal to the number of swamps you control to target creature, you gain an equal amount of life.
Uncommon.

Pentarch Ward
2w?
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
As Pentarch Ward comes into play, choose a color.
Enchanted creature has protection from the chosen color.

Spiketail Drakeling

Uncommon.

And a couple of Tidbits, based on the names we have:

Ixidron is a Blue morph critter which turns all other creatures facedown when it comes into play, or turns face up... yep, even those without Morph! It's rare and costs 4u, but the morph cost is unknown. It has P/T equal to the number of facedown creatures in play.

There is a Green detonate variant, which nukes Ench/Art but gains you life instead of damage...

Spardian empires Vol:VII is an artifact that con produce creature tokens, cost unknown ATM...

Norin the Wary is a Jackal Pup variant, 2/1 for r, but he is removed from the game 'whenever a creature attacks'... yuck!

Wurmcalling is the name of the Green buyback spell.

There's more info coming in that needs to be checked, but I'm not able to be here until tonight to post, give me 10 or so hours...

[/OfficialHydrodisclaimerincaseWOTCasks]

We're getting close my peeps!

I would have to assume that that would be "whenever a creature attacks YOU". Otherwise... I just can't see it, especially for a legend.

Wow awesome! Unyaro Bees are nasty for a mono green deck. Viable Spiketail tribal deck? We're getting closer. Good finds!

I have a problem with Ixidron: Isn't there some rule that says at the end of a game, you have to tun all morphed creatures face up? and that if there are any that do not have morph, you lose the game instead? and what about tokens?

Its shaping up to be a rules nightmare.

Not only do the Unyaro go Wu-Tang Killer Bees-style, they die for the cause referred to in the flavor text of Unyaro Bee Sting.

Sweet. (and Sarnath'd)

When morph was first spoiled a lot people thought it was fake, because it seemed to easy to cheat. Then that ruling was made and morph worked fine. I'll bet we get some real problems with cheating and Ixidron.

Woot! A /// card that somehow costs ! Ah, Time Spiral...

And blue keeps getting good cards, huh? I hope they know what they're doing.

Thanks a load, Hydro!

Liege of the Pit

5bbb
Creature-Demon
Flying, Trample
During your upkeep, sacrifice a creature other than Liege of the Pit or it deals 8 damage to you.
Morph: bbbb
8/8
Rare

Um... so it costs 3bbbb, right? Stupid.

Unyaro Bees
ggg
Creature- Insect
Flying
g:Unyaro Bees gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
3g, sacrifice Unyaro Bees: Unyaro Bees deals 2 damage to target creature or player
1/1
Rare

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Because it's total crap, it doesn't hurt the pie. lol, Flying Green Shade..... *wheeze*

Tendrils of Corruption
3b
Sorcery
Tendrils of Corruption deals damage equal to the number of swamps you control to target creature, you gain an equal amount of life.
Uncommon.

Huh. Guess Corrupt was too good 'cause it killed players. Fun card. Definitely deserves consideration, may become staple removal.

Pentarch Ward
2w?
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
As Pentarch Ward comes into play, choose a color.
Enchanted creature has protection from the chosen color.
Flash.
Common.

You *COULD* choose White. That would then shake off every White Aura. Probably don't want too, though.

Temporal Eddy
3u
Sorcery
Put target creature or land on top of its owner's library
Common.

I could swear this exists somewhere else.... meh. Versatility may make Time Ebb useable. May suck even more for costing more mana.

Spiketail Drakeling
1uu
Creature - Drake
Flying
Sacrifice Spiketail Drakling: Counter target spell unless it's controller pays 2.
2/2
Uncommon.

HAHA. Spiketail Hatchling reaches adolescence but still isn't a Spiketail Drake. Witty.
So... Wind Drake has been obsoleted. The power curve creeps ever onward.

"And a couple of Tidbits, based on the names we have:

Ixidron is a Blue morph critter which turns all other creatures facedown when it comes into play, or turns face up... yep, even those without Morph! It's rare and costs 4u, but the morph cost is unknown. It has P/T equal to the number of facedown creatures in play."

Umm... Ixidor? Ixidron? Guh?

"There is a Green detonate variant, which nukes Ench/Art but gains you life instead of damage..."

Detonate" onclick="AutoCard('Detonate'); return false;" title="Detonate">Detonate. In Green. With Life. Cool.

"Norin the Wary is a Jackal Pup variant, 2/1 for r, but he is removed from the game 'whenever a creature attacks'... yuck!"

Weak

... good batch.

Spiketail Drakeling is a monster blue flyer. White/Blue flying/aggro is looking to be interesting.

Shouldn't Pentarch Ward have the 'this effect does not remove ~this~' clause?
