[ARB] English intro Packs

Seth Dracovitch · 03-22-2009, 11:06 PM

The English Intro Packs were released to us, and with it official names.

bbkingadrock · 03-22-2009, 11:09 PM

Wow. Looks like we are going to be getting a lot of 2-color allied pair cards, eh?

Zinger314 · 03-22-2009, 11:12 PM

Can we rule out enemy colors now?

MajoraX · 03-22-2009, 11:14 PM

Juicy! Interesting to see so many low-cost rares displayed.

Not yet, as far as the entire set is concerned. Just because the Intro Packs are allied colored doesn't mean that all the cards in the set are. Plus, there's the fact that the cards in the Intro Pack can also be monocolored, as well as the reprints from Shards and Conflux. In other words, not many cards from Reborn will be in each pack, suggesting that there's still a good chance of enemy color cards in the set.

My guesses on the cards?

Filligree Angel

Artifact Creature - Angel
Flying, Shroud, Vigilance
6/6

Lich Lord of Unx

Creature - Zombie Wizard
Pay X life : Return target creature card in your graveyard to your hand, where X is that creatures converted mana cost.
Pay 3 life : Put Lich Lord of Unx into play. Play this ability only if Lich Lord of Unx is in your graveyard.
2/2

Deathbringer Thoctar

Creature - Beast
Deathtouch, all creatures must block it.
4/4

Spellbreaker Behemoth

Creature - Beast
Spellbreaker Behemoth can't be countered by spells or abilities.

5/5

Dauntless Escort

Dauntless Escort is indestructible.
Vigilance
3/3

Dauntless Escort is indestructible.
Vigilance
3/3

These guesses are OP. Nice try though. Dauntless seems ok I guess, but not as a 3/3 and behemoth is really OP with some kind of pyroclasm like effect.

Nah, it would be really difficult to make a set that is solely allied pairs (and it would be really boring). I'm pretty sure every combination (except 4 color) will be represented with at least one card.

Don't think so as "all creatures must block"(lure) is a green ability.

Legendary Creature - Zombie
Probably some graveyard recursion ability.
2/2

Deathbringer Thoctar

Creature - Beast
Deathtouch, all creatures must block it.
4/4

Spellbreaker Behemoth

Creature - Beast
Spellbreaker Behemoth can't be countered by spells or abilities.
Protection from Instant
Protection from Sorcery
5/5

Dauntless Escort

Creature - Rhino Soldier
Dauntless Escort is indestructible.
Vigilance
3/3

The last two seem broken, especially Dauntless Escort. o.o

I can't wait until we start getting real previews of actual cards. I haven't seen a single effect yet and I'm already giddy over this set.

paladin3056 · 03-22-2009, 11:22 PM

Really nice, too bad I like the Intro Packs black, oh well

I'm now really excited in whats to come in Reborn, the cards are quite interesting to be put in the front of the intro packs

Seth Dracovitch · 03-22-2009, 11:31 PM

I know it's a long shot and most likely wrong... buit I'd love for Deathbringer Thoctar to be like this...

Deathbringer Thoctar

Creature- Beast (rare)
Creatures you control have deathtouch
3/4

Spooky · 03-23-2009, 12:04 AM

Lich Lord of Unx
Legendary Creature - Zombie
If damage would be dealt to ~ sac. that many permanents instead.
Whenever you sac. a permanent put a 2/2 black zombie token into play.
2/2

my guess on Lich Lord of Unx.

Ravarshi · 03-23-2009, 12:13 AM

that's savagely broken spooky. because not only does it make you literally indestructible as a player, (especially if you can somehow make the Lich Lord indestructible, And give it a Pariah like ability) but it's a never ending cycle, as long as it survives that is. (even tho the Legendary Rule Overrides the indestructible rule)

but the never ending cycle of sacrificing a zombie token still would trigger the replace it with a zombie token (of course, if it's dealt enough damage that it has to sac itself, the tokens just spawn afterwards) as that's written as a triggered ability.

Spooky · 03-23-2009, 01:14 AM

I was thinking it wasn't THAT broken with Path to Exile, Unmake, Wrath of God, and the like running around.

If Lich Lord of Unx would be put into the graveyard from play, remove it from the game instead.
2/2

my guess on Lich Lord of Unx.

That makes it a bit better, albeit still brokenish.
