[smc]

Hi,
A few cards CS are known, and the new rule ("permanent neigeux", "snowy permanents") :
http://www.magiccorporation.com/gath...es-cartes.html

It's in French, but I can translate if you ask

[Sakura]

can you post the pics...Im at work and the link is blocked

and a translation would be nice

[I <3 Ballistic Fury]

That would be helpful. Some of the Google translations are hilarious. Example:
Requisition
Transitory (R)
You can pay to withdraw part two charts blue of your hand instead of paying the cost of mana of the Requisition.
Acquire the control of the fate targeted not-creature. You can choose new targets to him. (If this fate is an artifact or an enchantment, it arrives concerned under your control.)

there are no scans for now.
Just wait for the traslation

Cumulative Upkeep is back with a vengence! Awesome way of using it! I wonder if that Aura will see play?

[coppro]

Well, not sure about requisition, but my best interpretation is "Gain control of target non-creature spell. You may choose new targets for that spell", and it pitches by removing two blue cards in hand from the game.

It talks of "snowy mana", and so I'm suspicious, but it says that it is just any mana produced by a snowy permanent.

Also, there are cards that get better the longer their cumulative upkeep cost has been played. Props to wizards for this.

EDIT: God there was no answer when I begun writing this

[iqman2005]

Requisition is good. It is basically a hard-counter for non-creature spells plus a twincast or a confinscate. And the 2 card ditch to take out the cost is gonna make this really good. Hello new Force of Will.

age counters are put on a permanent with cumulative upkeep

502.13. Cumulative Upkeep

502.13a Cumulative upkeep is a triggered ability that imposes an increasing cost on a permanent. “Cumulative upkeep [cost]” means “At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice this permanent unless you pay [cost] for each age counter on it.”

502.13b If a permanent has multiple instances of cumulative upkeep, each triggers separately. However, the age counters are not linked to any particular ability; each cumulative upkeep ability will count the total number of age counters on the permanent at the time that ability resolves.
Example: A creature has two instances of “Cumulative upkeep—Pay 1 life.” The creature currently has no counters but both cumulative upkeep abilities trigger. When the first ability resolves, the controller adds a counter and then chooses to pay 1 life. When the second ability resolves, the controller adds another counter and then chooses to pay an additional 2 life.

'Snowy' Supertype? 'Snowy' mana? Weird. Hope it doesn't create a two-tier game where some great spells need 'snowy' mana to work. I'd like to use that White Aura in a deck or two...

age counters are how you keep track of cumulative upkeep. Heart of Bogardan for an example where it is important.

EDIT: nath'd

[SympathyfortheDevil]

The blue one is really cool and I think will affect the metagame a lot; I'm gonna get 4 when it comes out.
The green one looks really fun.

[sleeping Villain]

RMS OCean- You can't feel bad if it does though, technically Coldsnap is a "bonus", so it shouldnt mold with t2 so well, but i agree, i hope no more then 1 deck really evolves from the set alone.

I think the pitch spell is freakin huge for U and control, although it'd have to be in decks capable of draw, 2 cards if not payed for manually.

My tron deck is happy though
