Good morning !

From official french advertisement for PR events...

"Génitrice Dragonne"
Flying
At the beginning of each upkeep, put into play a 1/1 red and green Dragon creature token with flying and devour 2.

"Chevalier de la Nouvelle Alara"
(Human and Knight)
Each other multicolored creature your control gets +1/+1 for each of its color.

Gojira X · 03-23-2009, 07:24 AM

Does the Broodmother make Hellkite Hatchlings?

EDIT: Devour 2, so better? Oh well, I'll wait for someone who actually understands French!

File · 03-23-2009, 07:25 AM

Thanks a lot for the info!
Unfortunately they don't seem powerful cards.. though the dragon is kinda cool.

Translations:
Dragon Broodmother

Flying.
At the biginning of your upkeep put a red and green 1/1 dragon token into play with devour 2
4/4

Knight of New Alara

Each other multioclored creature you control gets +1/+1 for each of its colors.
2/2

Dr. Jeebus · 03-23-2009, 07:27 AM

Cool! So we'll definitely get a mythic for prerelease and a rare for release now. (Malfegor/Obelisk wasn't enough of a precedent to convince me).

The Knight of New Alara is really good and, if nothing else, will see massive casual play, but I think it has the potential for constructed if W/G becomes popular. The Broodmother Dragon, however, is more of just a limited bomb and mediocre casual card.

Knight of the New Alara

Each other Creature you control gets +1/+1 for each of its colors

Nice cards, fitting in the theme quite well.

That's our "Knight of New Alara" then?

... I'm not familiar with the word génitrice.
Also,

***urzassedatives*** · 03-23-2009, 07:32 AM

The dragon is interesting...

Wow, I underestimated it...finally a reasonable devour card. (but no replacement for broodmate)

Time to start the spoiler!

Geckon · 03-23-2009, 07:38 AM

I was hoping that the Broodmother would be better, but I like its art, so all is forgiven. And Knight of New Alara could be fun.

Nokiou · 03-23-2009, 07:42 AM

Other interessting thing : the collector number of the Knight is 70/145, and GW is the last pair of allied color. So, ~50% of the set must be tricolor.

Endoka · 03-23-2009, 07:45 AM

Or Enemy,(You can never tell with wizards.)

Also can you combo the Broodmother and Goblin Assault to get a 2/2 flying dragon token?

vatechguy · 03-23-2009, 07:46 AM

Interesting that Broodmother is card 53 - so theres 52 cards before her - and Ardent Plea being #1 rules out any Alara <name here> cards.

I also find it interesting they jump from Broodmother at 53 to the Knight at 70 - only 16 cards between B and K ?

I didn't realized they ordered them that way - nevermind. Doh!

I agree Dragon is limited bomb and knight will see constucted play in Exalted/Agrro decks.

Yep. She combos pretty well with her own tokens too - just not on the same turn like the gobbies.

Wildfire393 · 03-23-2009, 07:52 AM

Knight of New Alara seems much worse than the G/W Liege in most cases. Just sayin, if I'm going to pay 4 mana for a creature that pumps my G/W creatures by +2/+2, I'm going to go with the 4/4 body, extra ability, and ability to pump my monoG and monoW creatures as well over the ability to pump 3-color creatures a bit more.

Important things to note:
A) Up until now, Gold Multicolor cards have never been numbered by color, only alphabetically. Hybrid cards were numbered this way in Shadowmoor block, though.
B) Dragon Broodmother is the correct name, not the other way round. We had the name previously. 16 cards between D and K is more reasonable, as well, assuming numbering remains the way it has been.
C) If Gold Multicolor is being numbered by color now, it will in all likelihood be sorted as it is in the New Gatherer: WU, WB, UB, UR, BR, BG, RG, RW, GW, GU, WUB, ...., GWUB, WUBRG.

Perhaps,but also the collector number may use the name of the card and not the combinaison of the colors.

Anyway a bloc with all the 10 possible bicolor can be fun.Then why the preconstruct deck use only allied combinaison?:s And the recents illustarion show obelisk that seems allied.

Wait en see
