Default [EVE] Saving the best 'til last? Hallowed Burial (scan post 110)

Whoa, what a rumor season it has been. There's been a lot of action from a lot of new peeps, and a few dodgy ones too!

Before we complete the spoiler, thanks to the all-nighter I pulled crunching Orb results, I want to say a few 'thank yous', I hope that you'll all bare with me and join in on the gratitude:

Many thanks go to the following:

To Seds for the awesome spoiler updating

To Charlequin, brother R_E, and Seds for moderating it all up in hur, I love you guys!

To the M-Team, CaptainBlack, CaptainScarlet, Lieutenant Green, ColonelWhite, CaptainBlue & DestinyAngel for really getting the ball rolling.

To CrazyDiamond, thank you once again my Japanese bro.

To PC bro (you know who you are) for tidbits, clarifications, hints, joy and laughter, I'm so glad to have talked with you again this season my friend.

To Brother Salomar for the awesome work on the number crunch, you've had some big shoes to fill this season bro, but you did it, and did it very well.

To Maokun for the crunching/cross referncing Orb results, without you bro, I wouldn't be able to post this last card, seriously.

To Goblinboom for the early Figure of Destiny Teaser.

To Psybite for risking life and limb to tease us with joyous booster openings in real-time

To Warthog, my kiwi brother, for givings us a bunch of goods this week. Take care my bro.

To JRZman for the awesome art thread, I really enjoyed your posts and the speculation from everyone, well done!

To brother Caranthir for being one of the best posters on the site, for great speculation and help this season on many fronts (My Hot Selkie! You were right!)

To Machius for Helix Pinnacle.

To Fnord for Rekindled Flame.

To finally everyone who guessed, speculated and behaved themselves in the 'mill this season, it's been one of the best for us here IMO.


So, from the bottom of my rumormongering membrane, Thank you.



Here we go, our [EVE] spoiler is now, pretty much done, thanks to diligent Orb crunching and the past few cards revealled by the M-team today:


Hallowed Burial
3ww
Sorcery
Put all creatures on the bottom of their owners' libraries.
Rare.

It's yours my brothers & sisters. So now, please enjoy it! It's really been a great pleasure.

If that's right, pretty cool! Nice to get the last card from the Orb itself, and a cool rare to boot. Gets around regeneration, indestructible, and any other shenanigans. Probably has some cool combo implications, I'll have to think of some ideas! Regardless, it's mass removal in block. I like it.

the process of elimination is a beautiful thing.

I like it, it's the next best thing to removing them all from the game.

and it defeats indestructability

Not better than Wrath, I would say, but better than Final Judgment and definitely the best answer to aggro in block.

Bottom of the library is arguably even better than RFG: no wishes can retrieve it and in EDH it removes generals permanently!

A great way to finish up the season. It's a better version of Final Judgment and will see play in standard (and of course block). It does wonders against Mannequin decks and Lark and can act as white's extra wraths. Very nice card.

That's an awesome card. It'll probably be a wrath for a budget. One more mana will scare many tourney players. However, it is the Wrath of the set.
I love the card.

Take that, Persist creatures!

I think you're missing something, Hydro.
By my math, we still have "1/1 white spirit token" unaccounted for.
