[DIS] MTG.com Previews: 11th April: AEthermage's Touch

***urzassedatives*** · 04-10-2006, 10:30 PM

I will post the preview cards for today in this thread and this thread alone.

Keep discussion pertaining to today's cards, and any information/artwork revealed in them.

DeathRowChris · 04-10-2006, 11:02 PM

Well the predictors had the name correct. But the card.... Maybe a little off.

EDIT: Definately putta flavor for U/W.... I guess this is their way of keeping the control guild from being boring. O wells, Kraj still owns on a side point.

Fats McRobot · 04-10-2006, 11:02 PM

Meh, its not that great in draft. You can possibly pull a chump blocker...

I was really hoping to see a common or uncommon. Oh well, there's always tommorow.

Syann · 04-10-2006, 11:03 PM

Looks cool. It might be used as a combat trick but that's all I can think of to use this.

pyr0ma5ta · 04-10-2006, 11:03 PM

Wow. Meloku at instant speed? Tokens stick around? CIP triggers like Hierarch? Graft? I'll take a playset.

melchmon360 · 04-10-2006, 11:04 PM

little pissed hope this isn't the "draw spell" of the u/w guild

Shade · 04-10-2006, 11:04 PM

It's decent. Works kinda like Impulse and can be used to net a surprise blocker. Would be nuts with Angel of Despair.

Itinerant Soldier · 04-10-2006, 11:04 PM

Not great. Not bad - but again not great. Doesn't really impress me as to make it work it either requires a lot of creatures in your deck or the use of the Divining Top (altho the latter will probably show up in WU decks anyway). Could be worse tho I suppose.

rancored_elf · 04-10-2006, 11:05 PM

Doh! It's kinda cool, except that sometimes it says "Put the top four cards of your library on the bottom of your library." You need to be playing a heavy creature deck to make this work. Although I can think of some interesting applications, if you really want to work your deck around it.

Prediction: 25c rare.

ferro_man · 04-10-2006, 11:05 PM

its an interesting combat trick and something you need to be worried about from now on

Hydrokinesis · 04-10-2006, 11:06 PM

I manged to get here in time!

Wow, What a great card. The possibilities for this are exponential, particularly looking at how popular Footsteps of the goryo/goryo's vengence have been. I'm looking forward to using this in the upcoming RAv-GP-DIS block season, I wonder if I'll be able to splash RB for Rakdos???

Seemed a little out of flavor for Blue & White IMO, but it's a great card none-the-less.

More like this please!

PurpleD · 04-10-2006, 11:06 PM

Certainly a solid card, but kind of unfulfilling to say the least. While it does hhave a lot of synergy with "comes into play" abilities and Meloku, it doesnt seem as though it could become very useful in a lot of cases.

Mmmm Serra Avatar....

frog_master · 04-10-2006, 11:07 PM

I think its quit nice. I think the its off color though.

Nanka · 04-10-2006, 11:07 PM

I've got to agree with Rancored Elf on the 25 cent rare thought. How many creatures is a U/W/x deck going to play anyways?
