Keep an extra card sleeve handy on February 1st, ‘cause when you go to the Launch Party, you’re going to get that rare Earwigger Squad promo card*. Of course, the biggest reason to hit the Launch Party is to pick up Morningtide and have some fun putting some serious hurt on your friends.


*With event participation, while supplies last.

maybe if you were playing kithkin it'd be usefull but seeing as how it cost so much it won't be played in standard.

Odd that they included this along with the Prerelease and release cards.
I wonder why they would do that? Is it going to be like an extra prize for winning at the release or something?

Actually, the mana cost is 5w, so it should look like this instead:

This is definitely a Momentary Blink Target (Mulldrifter, Venser, Mystic Snake, Riftwing, etc.)

I think that if you were playing a UGw blink deck with goyf, cloudskate, mulldrifter, venser among other things you could do a lot worse than a 4 power flyer for 5 that will 3 for one at it's worst and (if you have to drifters in GY) 7 for 1 at best.

I think he's fine.

Nice... I like white creatures and cards that return creatures to play (Second Sunrise, Proclamation of Rebirth!).

I read the same mana and evoke cost on this card (EDIT> Same as OP. Not same as same cost). I like the more expensive Evoke cost than mana cost, nice design IMO.

I will surely spend some time on this card. Searching gatherer for two creatures that can make this go infinite.
In a standard enviroment this creature is quite good with Incandescent Soulstoke. (I just noticed it's 2 or less power, not 2 or less mana cost - it's way better now!) With Soulstoke you can attack for 5 and then return 2 Mulldrifters from your graveyard to play.

In limited it's obviously good IMO. A 4/3 flyer for 5 mana, that gains you two creatures if it dies! Seems too good to be true.
Although i know nothing about competative constructed magic anymore, i think this guy might even show up in some WU (or WUb) Elemental control deck based of Makeshift Mannequin.

Morningtide has got me really excited.
