Default [GP] some tidbits

An anonymous inside source (with the full spoiler... but won't give it to me ) had a look at our partial spoiler and emailed me a bunch of tidbits and corrections.
  1. Blue Leyline is Leyline of Singularity.
  2. "Somediscard" is Cry of Contrition.
  3. There's a card called "Skyrider Trainee" which gets flying when enchanted.
  4. You can play Guardian's Magemark whenever you could play an instant.
  5. Gelectrode is actually 0/1. (We fixed this already yesterday.)
  6. Ink-Treader Nephilim spreads an instant or sorcery that hits it onto each other creature that spell could hit.
  7. Mizzium Transreliquat is the missing artifact and is able to copy other artifacts either temporarily or permanently.
He also noted that we have a few cc errors (other than Frazzle, which we've now repaired). He said if we don't have the full spoiler in a week, he'll give us another pile of info.

Very cool, thanks to your source.

Nothing on the Black Leyline?

But you're absolutely wrong. You don't understand the color pie, and you don't understand White and Red's different roles in the game.
Thrrawnkkar was right...WoG is White.

why such strange names for izzet things... i think guardians magemark will probably redirect damage for 2W or just WW i dunno... but Mizzium Transreliquat... now i know why they didnt care about giving us the orb... nor way we would have guessed that word...

That nephilim might actually be playable. Radiate on a stick.

Since the Magemarks we know have global effects for your enchanted creatures, I bet this one will too. Here's my guess:

Guardian's Magemark
Enchantment-Aura
Enchant Creature
You may play Guardian's Magemark whenever you could play an instant.
You may play Aura spells any time you could play an instant.
Enchanted creatures you control get +1/+1.

Wait a second, I thought there were 7 total artifacts... 3 signets, 3 rare guild artifacts and the Sword of Paruns. There's another one?

-edit-

haha, obviously it's the izzet artifact. man do i feel dumb.

I can only assume the Izzet artifact goes one of two ways.

Mizzium Transreliquat - ?
Artifact
Mizzium Transreliquat comes into play as a copy of target artifact and gains "?: Mizzium Transreliquat becomes a copy of target artifact."

Mizzium Transreliquat - ?
Artifact
You may choose not to untap Mizzium Transreliquat during your untap step.
Mizzium Transreliquat comes into play as a copy of target artifact.
: Mizzium Transreliquat becomes a copy of target artifact.

VERY good Jitte hate. R/U control is going to be sideboarding 4.

Thanks to the source. I guess there is no chance the spoiler won't be completed before the Prerelease this time either. I just wish there had been at least one new card revealed this time though.

Spam warning. These posts go directly against the forum rules, which you can find stickied at the top of the forum.

that seems like a good nephilim, i think both red and white will be in its casting cost, making it obsene with lightning helix

I'd suspect that the Izzet artifact is something like this:

Mizzium Transreliquat (heehee!) ?
Artifact
As Mizzium Transreliquat comes into play, you may choose an artifact in play. If you do, Mizzium Transreliquat comes into play as a copy of that artifact andgains " : Mizzium Transreliquat becomes a copy of target artifact and retains this ability."

I dunno, just a thought. The "temporarily or permanently" bit will certainly hinge on whether you have Izzet mana or not.

Thanks, R_E.
