[FS] cycle of textless creatures! (scans added)

Hydrokinesis · 04-10-2007, 02:42 AM

So this story goes out to Tyler_Durden and everyone else who hates Me and hunters adventures in Rumormongering...

I forgot to tell y'all about my crazy Easter bonfire experience I had on saturday night... I'm still coming to terms with it myself, as it was truely something supernatural...

We were burning the bonfire as we do every year at Easter at my Fathers house, the Moon (Lady Lunar) was up, stars were out, and the night sky was peaceful and serene...

Granted, I had had a few burbons before laying back and looking up at the stars to watch the clouds pass slowly by... But it was at that moment I noticed the cloud formations we're eeringly strange... What was going on...? It was clear but a minute ago, but now the clouds were in the distinctive shape of a sexy and curvy Dutch woman!!!

GAH!!! I jumped to my feet and looked upwards again, only to be greeted with the following message written in the heavens...

"A cycle of Textless cards in [FS] Hydro!!!... Futureshifted frames, Vanilla creatures... one for each colour..."

then the following cards, in their full glory:

Blade of the Sixth Pride

Creature - Rebel Cat Warrior
3/1
Common

We have this art...

Blind Phantasm

Creature - Illusion
2/3
Common

Mass of Ghouls

Creature - Zombie Warrior
5/3
Common

Nessian Courser

Creature - Centaur Warrior
3/3
Common

And...

Fomori Nomad

Creature - Nomad Giant
4/4
Common

"we have the art for this" The message said "...it's the big horned dude art form MTG.com a few weeks ago bro..." It said.

The frames on these cards have been extended to allow a much greater display of each picture, like the textless promo cards we often get, and full compliments to WOTC, they look really good too!

The clouds then formed the following:

"The black 'Tolaria West' land in the cycle has Dredge 2..."

"There's a 'Rough & Tumble' Red Dragon..."

"There are Tapping Enchantments..."

And then they dissapapeared...

Obviously they had been working hard with smoke machines andairplanes to get this message to me, GOD KNOWS what they have instore for Hunter...

!!!

Enjoy.

So i guess these were the textless cards that somebody mentioned back then... So are they supposed to have abilities that we do not know? Or are they simply Vanilla cards?

[Edit] Bleah, shoulda read the story properly.

So anyway, cool cards, decent vanilla limited fodder I guess. Strange though, that a vanilla creature should appear on an FS precon box.

Feuerdrache · 04-10-2007, 02:44 AM

The way that they've constructed the futureframes makes it so that I'm not really surprised that they've made textless vanilla creatures.

They're really flexing their muscles with this set. I don't think there's a better way to describe it.

Hunter · 04-10-2007, 02:46 AM

Well, that must have been the final rumor of Venser to have come true

adlorin · 04-10-2007, 02:47 AM

Sixth Pride is neat for zoo - But that's obvious.

I wonder, will they have larger images on the textless cards? That would be quite interesting if they did!

spacemarinebob · 04-10-2007, 02:48 AM

the vanillas sound interesting...but the thing that intrests me is the dragon...is this some type of bloodfire type effect? maybe...

JodoYodo · 04-10-2007, 02:51 AM

Hmmm... I don't think any of the vanilla creatures are player except MAYBE the Blade of the Sixth pride, since 1W for 3 power without drawback is undeniably likeable for aggro, especially at common. Anyone think it'll be run in Boros/Zoo/White Weenie/UW Aggro? (Not that those decks are particularly competitive right now anyways...) I might get a playset of them if the art is hot anyways. And if the white one is that Cat art that we all thought was the white shapeshaper, that'd be pretty cool.

arcane7828 · 04-10-2007, 02:53 AM

boy oh boy I am so excited about the other cards the clouds mentioned!!

the textless card should look pretty good, but in terms of the card itself, only the white one looks interesting hmmm still its common rarity

I'd look at clouds too but its raining over here lol

Why not? There's never been anything in the rules stating they can't be, and it's a lot less clunky than adding "this ability can only be used once each turn" to activated abilities every time they want to restrict an ability's usage.

[edit] ...And he apparently deleted his post, so this is kinda moot now...

kami.inu · 04-10-2007, 02:54 AM

About time they made enchantments that tap, Halcyon Glaze and the Opals etc. don't count and they cna make them coloured abilities without mana every turn (short of only play this ability if you have [basic land type restriction]).

On the not so complaining hand, by 'rough tumble dragon' I will guess that it is a spellshaper that casts them. That dredge land seems like smallpox just got another best friend.

Hunter · 04-10-2007, 02:56 AM

"we have the art for this" The message said "...it's the big horned dude art form MTG.com a few weeks ago bro..." It said.

This one?

Hmm, on second glance (Adn the clouds outside

) it's amazingly similar, but not quite that one... Maybe that art is for another Fomori Giant?

Not only by the skeptics I guess. Quite sure he was seen by WotC and told not to come back shouting all he new again. Such a huge "rumor wagon" couldn't remain unseen.

In fact the dredging land doesn't surprise me at all. Sixth pride and nessian courser are quite good. Green finally gets a splashable 3/3 vanilla for 3, and white should have got his 3/1 for 2 for long. Blue, Black, and Red got nearly crap in this cycle, but it was to be expected. I'll be ok with it if they look good, and it seems they want it to be so.

Taping enchantments ? THAT is something I don't understand. It's so weird...But I never said I don't like it. I'm quite surprised, but it can be fun.

magac · 04-10-2007, 03:03 AM

-_- The last thing we ever need in a non-core set is vanilla creatures, so blah.....
