Apparently they're going back to 0/1 tokens again. I thought they left those behind for good and were only going to use 1/1 or bigger with power=toughness.

Thought that was 'Strangling Snot' for a minute!

Split Second seems a nice mechanic, but suspend seems wacky and... Yeah

! I like it!

sneakyhomunculus · 08-23-2006, 03:49 AM

I like both Split Second and Suspend

Wait a sec - isn't Grapeshot strictly superior to Scattershot ?

Viroid · 08-23-2006, 04:29 AM

Grapeshot is a sorcery, scattershot is an instant, thats where the difference lies.

Split Second is awesome. In fact, the former clan i was in [Mythos] was making a set with a mechanic EXACTLY like it.

The ur-dragon card makes me feel very invasiony.... in fact, i bet it is from invasion, since darigaaz and the others had a link to that ur-dragon dude right?

Yes and no. Scattershot is an instant, so you can play it on your opponents turn and smash a creature after they play a couple of their spells. Its just that Grapeshot is only a Sorcery and it can hit a player as well (Which is a plus in my book.)

Those previews really have me excited about this set! I can't wait to see what else they do with Split Second, but I hope most Suspend cards have a lower Suspend number.. With Suspend 3, you don't get the card into play until the 3rd turn after you used the Suspend-ability, which is a pretty long time to wait.

The old-school revisit cards are great to see as well! Both Kher Keep and Chronatog Totem bring back lots of memories

It's a Sorcery, while Scattershot is an Instant. Sorcery-speed really hurts Storm cards, so the answer has to be no

Dark Knightmare · 08-23-2006, 04:32 AM

interesting more mana cost-less cards. Suspend and Split Second look to be great abillities

maddog2099 · 08-23-2006, 04:33 AM

Grapeshot is a sorcery

DragoonKain3 · 08-23-2006, 04:47 AM

Split Second - the mechanic to hose countermagic. Looks like R&D is hoping to tone down blue even more, no?Unfortunately, no purple symbol cards.

Gwald · 08-23-2006, 05:23 AM

Ehh, it may be a crappy redo black lotus, but its still a black lotus

Sephiroth Owa · 08-23-2006, 05:30 AM

Is it me or is Terramorphic Expanse really good?
I know it isn't on par with the original fetches, but it does help thoses mono-coloured decks. Hell, even the 2/3 coloured ones.

Split Second - Hooray! Interrupts are back!
