Default [DIS] New Confirmed (!) Rare Cards

Through an anonymous source I got word of some translations of unknown cards. The following cards are NOT YET CONFIRMED. They are said to be ALL RARES. The names as a result do NOT FIT INTO THE ORB INFO.

I can't tell if they are real or not, but they do seem believeble to me and because 'seds isn't online, I will just post them as a "treat" to all those people who have been online today on 'Sally.

If they prove fake, blame me not the hardworking Rumor Mods.

EDIT: Some of the cards do seem to fit the rest of what was spoiled. Demonic Flame seems to fit the "Demonfire" card mentioned in the FAQ and the "Mutative Behemoth" and "Simic Leviathan" have previously been mentioned.

EDIT 2:

In this thread Windreader already mentioned Wit's end. This could confirm the other cards named in that thread.

And we have another card too, not quite as interesting but

Wit's end
5bb
Target player discards their hand.
Also he mentions the U/W counterspell as Swift Silence.

EDIT: I think we can safely say these are real.

Just going off general flavour. And Dictate and Govern being the same.

The Red uncountered Blaze seems very strong. Maybe too strong.
Also the "Mutative Behemoth" is briliant in my Rec-Nightmare deck!

Holy crap....

I would say this is worth it, as mid/late counter that counters everything and gives you card advantage.

Does it counter everything before it or everything?

I think it counters everthing on the stack. Although I'm not sure. It's weird that such a card is not listed in the FAQ though...

It looks highly likely these are real as some have been given before with poor wording e.g Wits End, Mutative Behemoth. Nice name there btw Be fond of nothingness.

Smallest but best leviathan yet I'd say, should've been a 7/7 though to get round dragons of the legendary variety.

I would say it counters everything on the stack, as countering things that have already resolved would be a major rules headache.

Also the blaze rocks and ornithopter is tech with that green beastie

Hits for Demonfire in orb = 3. Coincidence, I tihnk not. Can you update that sneaky?

Yes, it basically only counters stuff played before it. Any spell played after it (While Flaring Silence is still on the stack) would resolve before Flaring Silence, so it wouldn't effect it.

At worst, it's a Dismiss for 2WUU. Sometimes, it'll win a late game counter war, giving you CA. At best, it counters a gigadrowse for 8, and you win the game.

i just realized that that counter doesnt require a target
and i think that the Dictate Faineant will see some play because it only needs one blue so i think it will be worth it to splash blue for this and it fits nicely along confiscate
End of Wits may just see play in block, ne 1 remember kami block how decks could acctualy use the black myojin and this costs 1 less
Demonic Flame oh boy a realy good blaze
Mutative Behemoth now this guy could be intresting in block and standard he is evern easier to cast then angel of dispair and i hear fetching 4 kokushos is pretty good

You can't compare End of Wits with the Black Myojin. The Black Myojin was a 5/2 indestructable, and was still a 5/2 after you nuked their hand. Not to mention Kamigawa Block Constructed was a pretty slow format.
