[GP] List of cards we're still missing - plus new stuff - Page 2

From scanning the partial spoiler and the orb...

There should be 14 3/3s.

There are 10 in the spoiler. (including thunderheads)
So it's eminently possible.

Um, those aren't number crunchers. They just assumed because of its mana cost, that it had to be one of those 2. 3/3 makes it weaker than expected but it still decent. Clearly it is a 3/3. It makes a lot of sense. I mean a 6/6 that can be sac'ed to deal 6 dmg is pretty good. And you can pump it with Might of Oaks and to deal 13 in the attack then sac it for another 13. There are plenty of 3/3 spaces left and it makes sense to be a 3/3 as it still playable at that cost if not overly dominant.

Who you gonna believe - someone who's telling you what it is or someone who's guessing at what it is?

lol ^^

nice cards, really, the 1/3 elf is the card I was hoping for, some new sakura-tribe springcaller, perfect for R/G.

I almost can't wait till saturyday, it'll be a cool prerelease this time.

1/3

I think this card is really good. WOTC has tried several times to remake Birds of Paradise. Utopia Tree was the best attempt at it until now. I really like this card. With this and BOP and Elves of Deep Shadow and not to mention the Signets and the Bounce Lands...Mana accel is crazy in this block.

I think of it more as Quirion Elves big brother. It's in a whole different league than 1cc accelerators like Birds and Lawnmowers. It's still good though, especially in limited, as it's a useful mana diversifier and a decent spider/wall in one.

Jaxal1 · 01-18-2006, 11:09 AM

It's not BoP, but what is?

At 3cc I wouldn't call it accel, but it's good fixing, on a body I'd be willing(but not overjoyed) to play at 3cc anyway. One cheaper than a Giant Spider for -1/-1 is about standard.

pandafarmer · 01-18-2006, 11:10 AM

that's the thing that appeals to me, the big booty. definately one of the best commons we've seen from gp.

Pretty sure this is the art, from mtg.com:

herohammer · 01-18-2006, 11:16 AM

The silhanna card is decent. good limited card. The skybreaker is still constructed playable imho as a 3/3 just not as good as some other similiar cards.

I think we decided both existed.

Because the moving of Conjurer's Ban made the space available.

Obv. The thing is, in Ravnica block, this is a very respectible fixer (not really accel, as others pointed out).

Plus, don't think for a minute Wood Elves will make 10th (because they won't).

warehalldn · 01-18-2006, 12:09 PM

Another very nice common... A mini spider mana accel/fixer... not bad...

The 3/3 / 6/6 creature that can fling himself is at the very least, a nicely designed creature. I don't think he'll find his way into constructed decks, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him flinging all over the casual tables...

shivanwurm · 01-18-2006, 12:23 PM

How are we doing on numbers we got from the orb? Isn't there still a 7/5 and 6/6 creatures floating around somewhere?
