[SHM] Twilight Shepherd and Devoted Druid (rumored)

Hunter · 04-06-2008, 01:09 AM

Greetings, my fellow rumormongers.

I’ve managed to gather some information about a certain rare angel we’ve been wondering about. Combining some pizza-crumbs and lipstick messages with creative orbing brought me to the following conclusion. Mind you, I’m foremost a Vorthos, so I’m not 100% on the exact wording.

The first part of her name we’ve actually known since we’ve seen the Ultapro-products.

Twilight Shepherd

5/5
Like any selfrespecting Angel she has flying and vigilance, this time around combined with the persist-mechanic.

When she comes into play, the player returns to his hand all cards in his graveyard put there that turn from play.

[Edit] I've been in touch again with various sources, who confirm the reading above. They also hinted at a new lawnmower, which is supposed to be something like this:

Devoted Druid

Creature -Elf Druid

: add

to your mana pool.
Put a -1/-1 counter on Devoted Druid: untap Devoted Druid
0/2

Comborrific indeed! May I ask what classes she is?

fnord · 04-06-2008, 01:12 AM

I'd hope that's all cards put into GY from play.

Otherwise there's insane combo potential with self-mill.

Mamoru · 04-06-2008, 01:13 AM

Persist...very nice.

Radical Serbian · 04-06-2008, 01:14 AM

Whoa, thats a crazy ability.....I can't wait to see how someone breaks it! But if they can't, I'll still love it cuz its a Angel in a shadowy place! go good guys!

How do people come up with things from the Orb? Can't you only guess one word at a time?

Virus · 04-06-2008, 01:16 AM

Omg, it turns all your creatures Wrath-imune! Me likey.

EDIT: Oh, to hand. Ok, less cool but still cool.

~Tilde~ · 04-06-2008, 01:16 AM

That seems seems a little over the top to me for only 6 mana. (this might be a better wording)

Twilight Shepherd

Creature - Angel
Flying, Vigilance, Persist
When Twilight Shepherd comes into play, return all other creature cards put into your graveyard from play this turn to your hand.

(the "all other" prevents her from bouncing herself when you wrath with her on the board.)
5/5

The rumors don't mention any class, this is all I know

nice I was waiting for something like this I like flying and vigilance and returning cards from the graveyard, twice

Twissted · 04-06-2008, 01:17 AM

Seppel, it's not from the Orb, that's just the excuse.

WoG resistance much? Combine it with the shroud enchant for a nigh irremovable army.

wcsae · 04-06-2008, 01:17 AM

Cool. Still wonder why she's on the Aura Precon. Is it possible we'll be getting some enchantments that have sacrifice triggers?

Crocodile · 04-06-2008, 01:18 AM

Being in the Aura focused precon I expected something related to enchantments but I see that's not the case. Nonetheless, this is an awesome card. Awesome name, awesome art (though I think she's a bit skinny), awesome stats and awesome abilities.

jeaok · 04-06-2008, 01:18 AM

this card seems pretty good...actually both this card and woodfall primus are pretty ridiculous with makeshift mannequin. is it a cycle of rares with persist that are insane with reanimation? this one allows for a free reanimation, since you get the reanimation spell back...hmmm

Virus · 04-06-2008, 01:19 AM

6 manas, 5/5. Maybe legendary? Oona cycle, then?
