Default [SHM] Endless Pain, Advanced Auramagic

Time for another bunch of Spoilers... okay?
No?
Bad?
Well, I'll post these anyway.

Endless Pain

Enchantment (R)
Players cannot gain life.
Damage cannot be prevented.
All damage is dealt as if its source had wither.
Illus. Richard Kane Ferguson
186/301

Seems like this one makes sure that you only have to deal 20 dmg once.


Advanced Auramagic

Enchantment (R)
Other Enchantments you control have shroud.
Enchanted creatures you control have shroud.
Illus. Chuck Lukacs
7/301

Enjoy!
And stay put for moor!

I'm defintiely loving both of theses cards! Endless Pain is my hero against Troll Ascetic and his ilk, and the Advanced Auramagic actually has me wanting to use Auras again!

Any chance for scans? We already had both those cards spoiled. Thanks for all your information.

Wait....so the B/R enchantment turns ALL damage into -1/-1 counters? Now just creatures?

Woah....that is sicker than I thought...

Great work on the cards Nocturnus but what is the name of the Advanced Auramagic in german as it not the right name for it if its collector's number is 7, maybe if it is 1?

Endless Pain is very solid. It's probably good enough to see paly in other formats, and it will definitely see at least SB play in type 2 (even if it's in the SB of RDW/Burn).

The W Enchantment is at least not quite as broken as it was spoiled before- Enchanted creatures makes it more of a niche spell.
Be interesting to watch a competitive Auratog deck spring out of nowhere. O_o

Hmm... both are interesting, but given the current standard environment- seem out of place.

Man, Advanced Auramagic is disappointing compared to the rumoured version. Maybe that would have been too strong, but dang...

I think its because 1) they are trying to change that enviroment somewhat (Advanced Auramagic might help Auras become a lot more competitve for example) and 2) because they may be intended for interaction with future stuff...I foresee Shadowmoor and Eventide having a light Enchantment/Aura theme, and maybe a heavy one in Shards of Alara.

Except now we can turn our creatures to Enchantments. DANG.

Exactly. Alara could very likely be Enchantment-land.

I've been waiting for for an enchantment that says, "Players can not gain life."
My biggest problem while playing B/R goblins or RDW is that if I'm playing against anyone running white, I have to worry about them gaining life. Nearly every U/W Lark deck in my meta right now runs Avain Riftwatcher and Momentary Blinks. Some games I've lost due to my opponent playing the riftwatcher and then blinking it 6 times, while blocking my goblins.
I'm getting 4 of these as soon as we have pictures for confirmation.

The same applies to:

-Knowing the rules.
-Netdecking.
-Not netdecking.
-Using old versions of a card (yeah, it has hapenned to me: "Ugh... ugly pic noob")
-Knowing English.
-Using phases.
-Countering spells.
