meh.
good for tokens.
Pretty much Odrics ability.

dandaman541 · 12-25-2012, 11:01 PM

A free lightning helix seems potent every attack step. Surefire beast in limited, not too sure about constructed, I doubt it will make a splash, but only time will tell

busdude · 12-25-2012, 11:01 PM

Odric's ability keyworded with -1 attacker. Helix Angel will at least make some people drool.

Ninja Caterpie · 12-25-2012, 11:02 PM

Well, at least it's pretty obvious what this ability word means: "Whenever this and two or more creatures you control attack, do SOMETHING". I doubt its variable and definitely cements boros as the aggro colours in GTC.

skorchdnite · 12-25-2012, 11:02 PM

Just had a Borosgasm. I. Love. This. Card.

avenged492 · 12-25-2012, 11:02 PM

Seems like quite a good ability. I feel it could get out of hand especially if this is the top end of the curve for the boros deck because it helps push through mid to late game. Will have to see further to decide its strength.

gmax666 · 12-25-2012, 11:02 PM

Hmm I wonder if the attacking helix is just for the Angel of if all creatures with Battalion will do the same.

TheTennesseeFireman · 12-25-2012, 11:03 PM

So in Boros, everybody's a mini-Odric, Master Tactician? Cool beans.

NGW · 12-25-2012, 11:03 PM

Was really hoping to see Dimir's ability today. Saving the best for last I suppose.

Also where exactly are these being spoiled? I checked the Daily MTG but none of today's articles have them.

TheScale · 12-25-2012, 11:03 PM

Hmm. It's... alright? Not crazy about it. Wanted to see the Orzhov mechanic :/

Travy · 12-25-2012, 11:03 PM

Where exactly do these previews get posted anyways?

Lully · 12-25-2012, 11:03 PM

Dat attack trigger. Kaalia says nope. Battalion is nice because there are a bunch of things that can be done. Like here's our lighning helix (QQ). Overall the ability is not really an ability. It's just a bonus for attacking. Odric secretly has this ability.

inked · 12-25-2012, 11:04 PM

If that would be the card everyone can use for limited if they pick Boros, I am 99% sure I'd play Boros at the prerelease.

Lightning Helix on a stick, nuff said
