[Hydrokinesis]

[OfficialHydrodisclaimerincaseWOTCasks]

Hello all.

I found this info simply browsing the net, please feel free to speculate on it' s validity: I don't know where the info came from originally or if it's real but here it is...

[/OfficialHydrodisclaimerincaseWOTCasks]

... (Two of the) rares are a blue creature "Magus of the Jar" and a red instant "Word of Seizing". (A couple) of the purple symbol cards are Shadowmage Infiltrator, Mindless automaton and Sengir Autocrat. The regular cards are numbered out of a set size of 301 and the purple symbols are numbered out of a set size of 121. Both sets share the hourglass Time Spiral logo....

There are NO other details (Including who this came from) on this apart from the above info, but please feel free to discuss/speculate on this find.

Both Names check out in the ORB! TTTIIIMMEEE... eh... I'm too tired to shout it. Enjoy!

And a summary thanks to brother Lesurgo (post 254):


Here are conversions from what I can make out:

Firemaw Kavu
Creature-Kavu (U)
Echo (Yes this is new Templating)
When Firemaw Kavu comes into play, it deals 3 damage to target creature.
When Firemaw Kavu leaves play, it deals 3 damage to target creature.
4/2

Note that it could be 2 or 4 damage instead of 3. However, it looks like 3 to me.

Phyrexian Totem -
Artifact (U)
T: Add to you mana pool.
: Becomes a 5/5 black Horror artifact creature with trample until end of turn.
Whenever Phyrexian Totem is dealt damage, if it's a creature, sacrifice that many permanents.

Premature Burial
Sorcery (U)
Destroy target nonblack creature that came into play since your last turn ended.

Duskrider Peregrine
Creature-Bird (U)
Suspend-3?
Flying, Protection from Black
3/3

Conflagrate
Instant/sorcery (U)
This deals X damage divided how you choose among any number of creatures and/or players.
Flashback: , discard X cards

Ignite Memories - /
Sorcery (U)
Target player reveals a card at random from his or her hand. Ignite Memories deals to that player damage equal to that card's converted mana cost.
Storm

Truth or Tale
Instant (U)
Reveal the top 5 cards of your library and seperate them into piles. An opponent chooses one pile, then you choose one card out of that pile to put into your hand, then put the rest of the cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order.

Note that while it looks a lot like 3U it could possibly be 1U.... Which would also make it a lot better.

Assembly-Worker
Creature - Assembly-Worker (U)
: Target assembly-worker gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
2/2

Magus of the Jar
Creature-Human Wizard (R)
, Sacrifice Magus of the Jar: Each player removes his or her hand from the game face down, and draws seven cards. At end of turn, each player discards his or her hand and returns to his or her hand each card he or she removed from the game this way.
3/3

Word of Seizing
Instant (R)
Split Second
Untap target permanent and gain control of it until end of turn. It gains haste until end of turn.


Then for reprinted cards we have:
SENGIR AUTOCRAT
CONSECRATE LAND
SHADOWMAGE INFILTRATOR
WITHERED WRETCH
EVIL EYE OF ORMS BY GORE
MINDLESS AUTOMATON
FIRE WHIP
These are very likely real, so dont cry fake. Post what you can read of the cards only if what you see is DIFFERENT from whats listed here

Hmm, Magus of the Jar would have to be fairly highly costed if it really is the Jar itself. Course, it loses quite a bit in that by being a creature, it gains summoning sickness which the Jar never had.

Still, if Finkel is coming back, his archnemesis Budde should come back, amirite?

[Zombiemachine]

Holy ****. Shadowmage is back? Good thing I picked 4 copies a few months ago for 4$ each.

[Thenarus]

How...excitingly random. I'm torn between crying foul and rejoicing. Guess we'll know before too long, eh?

*gives this thread Protection from WotC until end of turn

[baxtOr]

WTF???? what i cant wait for is, despite the previews, whether or not the purple issue will be cleared up before or after the pre-release, and if they're in boosters they have to be t2 legal right?


ps, here is a big TTTTTIIIIIMMMMMEEEEE SSSSSPPPPPIIIIIRRRRRAAAAALLLLLL! just for Brother Hydro.

[Effovex]

I get the impression that rare "purple" cards are unlikely - it'd be pretty weird to get two rares out of a booster, and it'd be insanely weird to get a rare card from another set as your rare. I can see them replacing a common slot per booster with a reprint - why not? but a rare? How does it work?

[Icejelly]

"Seizing" returns 1 hit on the orb, while the Magus of the Jar issue is being discussed in another thread in Speculation. The reprints don't show up as hits on the orb.

Anyway, good to hear another source which points towards the 121 reprints being true. Anyone see Sengir Autocrat as a replacement for Promise of Bunrei for Ghost Husk, if reprint cards are T2-legal?

Wouldnt they just work like foils and replace the same rarity.

[Good&Evil]

Good to see that Finkel will be coming back in TS.

On purple: have we had confirmations on how they'll work out in boosters? Will there be an extra card, a replaced card or something else? And will purples be standard legal?

[WarEmblem]

So basically the 121 purple symbol reprints are all but confirmed.

Well, I sure don't want them replacing TS rares, but if they replace a common then that's pretty sweet. (unless of course my valuable MTGO INV block rares are among them. )

Sengir Autocrat eh? Hope Delraich is included as well.

The more I think about the logistic of it, the more I doubt the purple cards are real. If they're too common, they take away focus from the new set. But if they're too rare, they're useless. Where's the line between the two? I mean, if you have 121 common reprints, and one card out of 15 is a reprint (they replace one common per booster with a reprint), you would need to buy an insane amount of boosters to get a playset of one particular common - and what to say of completing the set? If the reprints are distributed across all rarities, it is even weirder when you open a non time spiral card as your rare, and what of limited?

So strange...

[Caranthir]

I still see NO confirmation of the purple reprint set, even after this.
If it was found on the net, anybody could have written it. It can be only another example of people writing their wishes and presenting them as real things.

Magus of the Jar....speculated pretty much here, so it is not a confirmation at all, just a piece of info added to make the info more credible.

Word of Seizing....well, I am sure I can also think up some cardnames that fits to the Orb.

Let's see what will evolve from this...

First of im sorry brother that you have to resort to this because of WOTC's sudden card]panic attack[/card].

regarding the 121 rarity it would be nice if it just replaces a common even if you get the equivalent of two rares in one booster it would still make it very difficult for that to actually happen, the only thing i want to confirm though is wether this bonus cards will be T2 legal.

Anyways great find Hydro, i have no catchphrase but heres a bunny dance

[Hercwarrior]

Any ideas for Word of Siezing? Word of Command + Sieze the Day, possibly? Search your opponent's hand for a creature card and put it into play with haste until end of turn.

[Jerry Only]

ok guys, the cards will be a gimmick. only legal in sets where the originals are legal by now. i predict them to be an additional card in boosters/tournament packs. valuable cards like finkel and akroma will be very rare, to not devalue the old ones.
