Default [ALA] all 5 Charms (confirmed)

These were posted in speculation. Whether they are real or not I don't know, but I thought I'd put them here instead of hidden away.

Hmm, Naya charm taps all creatures target player controls? I thought it was blue ability (see Cryptic Command) but otherwise those charms are quite believable.

disgust: well, more than a few times actually there were cards "hidden" deep in some other threads, speculation subforum, PMs and signatures... this charms would not suprise me to be real. Although I will wait for some kind of "official approval" to believe, ofcourse, but until then - innocent until proven guilty

The Esper one is terribly weak in all 3 choices for the cost. Compare it to the one we already know(an instant speed Pyroclasm). 3 different colored mana to destroy and artifact or to destroy an enchantment? Mmm... I don't think so.

Disclaimer: Then again, I may be wrong, but it just seems really weak.

Esper and bant own face, although bant is the worst colour combination ever. Instant discard/draw owns. Are you sure Esper isn't sorcey?

They fit with the number of "Charm"s that the Orb gives.

I wouldn't call instant speed draw or discard "weak".

The Bant Charm is looking very powerful. If this is indeed true, I'm for certain playing Bant aggro-control soon.

@ The Grixis one. Removal, bounce, and pump all in one. Seriously thats amazing. On the other hand these might not even be real, so I don't know.

The Bant charm is broken if real. Did no one play with Dromar's Charm? This is just better. Sure it's green instead of black but countering a spell or getting rid of the most dangerous creature on the table is disgusting.

The Bant charm seems very good. All of the abilities are legit, and you can take out any creature?? It seems amazing to me.

Good lord, these will put Archon Toast way over the top if real. Bant Charm alone trumps the three common ways to beat it - T2 Blossom, early Colossus, early Gouger.

Oops. misread it. Naya Charm kills Blossom. No big, since QnT will run Naya Charms anyway.

The Esper Charm is an instant + one more option version of Consult the Necrosages for the additional color in the cost. Still, the CMC is the same! I like it. I like the others too.

Yeah it kinda makes me think the whole cycle is fake somewhat.
