Thanks Noct bro, always good to wake up to more spoilerage!

Prisonsentence is tight! Talk about a deterant. Who's going to drop a better creature with this on the board. It's very very good... and... it stops activated stuff too. Tight.

Fumar · 04-14-2008, 03:23 PM

Nothing too fancy. Prison Sentence seems alright.

FirstType · 04-14-2008, 03:23 PM

We already had Howl of the Night Pack, but thanks anyway; more confirmation is always good.

So presumably the flavor of the Merrow Dirtshooter is that it throws dirt in creatures' eyes, temporarily blinding them and preventing them from being able to attack effectively, I guess.

Prison Sentence is a nice Pacifism variant that can move around to hit your opponent's best creature. No more worrying about whether to hold back removal; just play it and move it when something more scary comes into play!

A Pacifism which is good against shroudies....

Ako80 · 04-14-2008, 03:24 PM

The Sentence seems good enough for constructed, the rest is filler.

Gonna Fly Now · 04-14-2008, 03:24 PM

Damn! Pacifism on steroids.

This is shaping up to be very bomb-centered set. Ravinca Deux.

only the aura is intresting to me which is funny.

Deviant · 04-14-2008, 03:25 PM

Prisonsentence seams legitimately playable to me, although it seems to fall short versus Weenie aggro decks. Sideboard maybe? Great in limited however.

Crusade · 04-14-2008, 03:25 PM

Prison sentence is great, great stuff for limited, and might even make the cut in constructed, although i am more of a fan of oblivion ring. Still, being able to lock down a goyf for a bit before moving it onto a cloudthreser or chameleon collosus is a nice, nice option.

Thrias · 04-14-2008, 03:25 PM

ultrabutcher · 04-14-2008, 03:27 PM

the prison sentence is actually really neat. i don't know if it's significantly better than temporal isolation, but it do like it. the rest is meh. the howl of the nightpack could be a more watered down form of grizzly fate without flashback.

ludd_gang · 04-14-2008, 03:27 PM

Thanks, Nocturnus.

Prison Sentence is not a highly inspired name. Interesting effect though. Doubt it will replace O Ring since it costs

and only hits creatures.

Edit: Oh! Excellent point!

Howl of the Nightpack's high mana cost is somewhat irrelevant since it is

and you'll want a ton of forests in play before you cast this. Maybe with Hunting Wilds or such to help out. Still, losing a 7 mana play to a single mass removal would hurt.

Dirtshooter seems like filler. Most likely just a 2/4 attacker for 4 mana. YEah, a little more versatile, but not a lot. :/

Now that's a surprise blocker...
Not much in fact but hey it takes down a 3/2 creature all the time all by its own and lives for another freaky day on Shadowmoor.

Just when I thought we were running out of rumors, Nocturnus saves the day!

Nothing too special in this batch except for Prison Sentence.
