Mouse over text on the first 'splodey art in the Feature article reads "this spell costs BBRRRGG".

sarkhan..... wow. can't wait to give him a shot.

not too thrilled with exalted but its ok.

Raikou Rider · 09-07-2008, 11:06 PM

The knight we got the art for in the Eventide tip card is pretty nice. Unfortunately, Exalted doesn't seem like a good mechanic for WW... =/

Stole 2/3rds of my idea. Or maybe 1/4th

Love it.

Remember when WotC said that Mythic Rares would be Timmy cards, not Spike?

They lied.

Sabett · 09-07-2008, 11:06 PM

Rofl Sarkhan seems kinda hot. his plus one is an anthem effect, and his second ability is a potential gamewinner in its self, exalted doesnt seem so good though.

vrif · 09-07-2008, 11:06 PM

Wow... just wow..., that balances out the powers of the other planeswalkers.

only-3-calories · 09-07-2008, 11:06 PM

Exalted is a pretty cool ability, the Sigiled Paladin is pretty much what I guessed it would be a 3/3 with First Strike, and Sarkan Val is amazing, the last ability is killer.

Alphataru · 09-07-2008, 11:07 PM

First and 2nd ability are meh (especially 1st, which is just a rehash of Aijani's).

But 3rd ability... wow. And it can be activated at 6!

I kind of expected this, although I thought it was gonna be "search your library for 4 dragon cards and put them into play". This is pretty damn awesome as well though

Exalted looks eh since you can only attack with one creature and not much potential with other cards out of block. The knight was what i was looking forward too.

dumbdumb013 · 09-07-2008, 11:08 PM

exalted looks like it is kind of non-synergistic, atleast on aggressive creatures. i guess if you didn't have a one drop or somethign that knight is good, or one drops with it. Creatures with vigilance.... i could be wrong.

Vol is GREAT. wow. it will almost defintily see play

Donutninja · 09-07-2008, 11:08 PM

If you thought Tezzeret was expensive on ebay just watch old Sarkhan blow him away.

Exalted is terrible.

j12601 · 09-07-2008, 11:08 PM

So... you pump Sarkhan twice, then on your... fifth turn perhaps (you're playing green, you can get him out on turn three), you pop out 5 dragons, cast another Sarkhan, pump him and turn all five into hasty 5/5 dragons, and swing? Ugh. Remind me to stock up on Pithing Needles.

kittensnmittens · 09-07-2008, 11:08 PM

Wow, Battlegrace Angel, a well designed card by Wizards. I love the ability Exalted, it sounds so elegant and cool.

Sarkhan Vol surpassed my expectations also. I think we all figured the 3rd ability would be something to do with dragons.
