Boros Charm

UnkleBob · 09-03-2012, 09:28 PM

I would say the charms revealed so far would lead you to the conclusion that we will not see lightning helix reprinted. Most likely I would say a boros charm with similar effects but not both for the price of one. Third effect will probably stop a creature from blocking and/or attacking.

Could be something along the lines of attacking or blocking creatures getting some kind of bonus, maybe First Strike, similar to Selenya Charm's 'Lifelink to all' mode. But yeah... it's going to be a long wait for that one, buddy.

The third effect on these cards so far has been a color overlap related effect. For r/w, it'll probably involve first strike and a bonus, or doublestrike.

Ummm selesnya charm doesnt have a lifelink to all mode. It is in the spoiler, and it has 2/2 vigilant knight token, exile target creature with power 5 or more, and target creature gains +2+2 and trample til end of turn

The boros charm will likely deal with combat tricks, as the G/W one does. Red Green and White are very combat-trick oriented with spells. so I could see Boros getting power/first strike and maybe a pro-color mode?

Red Archon · 09-04-2012, 09:50 AM

Definitely combat tricks. I'm personally hoping for a Boros Fury-Shield type of effect. It could also conceivably (sp?) be a helix knock-off (which wouldn't upset me. always need more).

Ah, okay, whatever, you got me bro! .. I guess that's the Azorius Charm. Either way, it's the 'white' mode of a currently known charm. "All creatures you control get First Strike until end of turn" seems pretty strong and makes sense in a WR charm, especially considering the Boros are all about combat. But like I said, it's going to be a long wait. Gatecrash is to be released on Feb 1, 2013. That's the crazy thing about getting all this art and know-how about Gatecrash.. it's so far away!

daedalusaf · 09-04-2012, 09:01 PM

what do we have so far?

Selesnya: +2/+2 and trample, exile >5 power creature, 2/2 white knight with vigilance
Izzet: counter unless pay 2, deal 2 dmg to creature, loot 2
Azorius: creatures gain lifelink, draw a card, put attacking or blocking creature on top of library

I'd say Boros would be more combat oriented, so my guess would be; P/T pump plus first strike for target creature, deal damage to all blocking or attacking creatures, protection from a color of your choice

pickleishopeless · 09-05-2012, 09:27 AM

if any were providing protection id have thought gw or uw. RW however doesnt seem very likely to me. I would agree on a first strike thing, as well as a blocking and attacking creatures kind of deal.

I wouldnt be surprised to see some sort of token creation either though like the knight token

Acarna · 09-05-2012, 09:57 AM

Protection does kind of seem like a flavourful Boros ability though, even if not necessarily one you would associate with the combination of red and white in a vacuum. I reckon it'll be P/T + first strike, maybe a Raise the Alarm effect, and either protection or something to do with attackers or blockers as suggested.

However, we've got till Gatecrash before we find out.

Life gain/direct damage/combat trick

The Greendale Human Being · 09-05-2012, 11:27 AM

I'm guessing artifact hate will be one of the features. Red, white and green have the most artifact hate, and with selesnya not having it I think boros might, though there's a good chance gruul will get it.

Other than that, I'm guessing give a creature double strike and maybe a mini helix that does 2 damage to a player and gains you 2 life.

Lomax · 09-05-2012, 11:50 AM

I'm thinking a combat trick, some token ability, and destroy an artifact.

skorchdnite · 09-05-2012, 11:52 AM

Perhaps... Deal 4 damage, Gain 4 life or Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. I think it would be something along the lines of Lightning Helix mixed with Rally the Righteous

I don't think that it would be similar than Helix. something like 3 dmg or 3 lifes? so.. paying 2 for 3 lifes?? not even a good idea.

Maybe something like.. +1/+0 haste, +1/+0 first strike (or holiday)and destroy target artifact or enchantment..

really... i don't know...
