[FS] Scrye Preview: Llanowar Mentor & Sliver Legion (Scans post# 109)
Greetings all, just making a thread for some information many may have missed from the last page of the compiled info thread.
A big thanks to thestonedkoala who has reported at least two cards featured in this month's issue of Scrye magazine, they are as follows: Llanowar Mentor  Elf Spellshaper , tap, Discard a card: Put a 1/1 Green Elf druid creature token named Llanowar Elves into play "with Tap: Add to your mana pool."1/1 Uncommon And... of course the already well known: Sliver Legion     Legendary Creature - Sliver All Sliver creatures get +1/1 for each other Sliver in play. 7/7 Rare While these were known in some capacity, it's nice to have yet another confirmation on both "creature shapers" and the third Sliver Lord (venser was really right huh?  )And... Please keep your eyes peeled for more cards from this issue of Scrye magazine, there's usually more than a couple of cards to be found, so get hunting! EDIT:

Iconic creature token creating spellshapers.
The Speculation forum will go crazy over this. Regardless, thanks! |

What's that Venser was right about another part? Imagine that - people are so quick to flame and reflame the poor guy, and yet again more that proves what he was saying.

So would that make Llanowar Mentor a "Shapeshaper"?

Well, really I just thought it was weird that they're giving names to non-legendary tokens. Were they afraid that if one of the shapers, say, spits out a 2/1 Cat token for W, we wouldn't know what creature it represented? But then I was reminded of Kher Keep...

I think it's neat, and adds a lot to the flavor.
The whole naming tokens thing, I mean. |

Llanwar Mentor says bad things about Dralnu de Lovre's mother!

Rumour season is back! It is what we have all been waiting for. Thanks Hydro.
wonder how token elf will interact with pithing needle, it has the same name but isn't a card! mind-boggling! |

However, if there was another spellshaper that created a creature with an activated ability that is not a mana ability, then Pithing Needle would work against it because its Oracle text says "Activated abilities of permanents with that name can't be played unless they're mana abilities." |

Is it me or is llanowar mentor really going to help T2 dredge. It discards a card and feeds flashbacked dread return. Great card!
