Hey there guys and gals! I’m going to be doing some small previews here and there on the Magic 2014 set that’s being released this summer. Most will be just be some one-liners with pictures as we are really busy doing articles and adding tons of inventory. Here goes:
Hive Stirrings
GameDay freebie and soon to be sliver deck staple.
Colossal Whale
Great flavor. That’s one hungry whale!
Goblin Diplomats
Nice ability on these guys. Make them swing at you then strike back.
Devout Invocation
Kind of like a slower Entreat the Angels, but pretty need with mana dorks.
Archangel of Thune
A ‘watered down’ Baneslayer Angel.
Windreader Sphinx
Someone at Wizards of the Coast really likes that Isperia ability.
Shadowborn Demon
You get a nice ‘Murder‘ effect out of it and the drawback is not too bad.
Scourge of Valkas
A dragon deck auto-include and upgrade to Shivan Dragon.
Primeval Bounty
Nice little 3-ability enchantment for Commander decks.
Rise of the Dark Realms
Liliana Vess‘s Ultimate – in card form.
Savage Summoning
Now anything can be a Restoration Angel for the cost of a measly Green Mana
This particular card is most likely going to see some serious play. Imagine any creature you wish had flash and pair it with this. Neither will be counterable. Of course it requires a creature in your hand otherwise it will do nothing on its own. This is the kind of rare that’s going to be in huge demand as it’s going to be played in just about all formats that can use it. Be sure to grab foil ones for your Commander deck.
Don’t forget that this is also very very awesome with Snapcaster Mage . But of course, most of you already knew that.
Ajani’s Chosen
Nice! a Rare ‘paneswalker pet’. Looks like Ajani is confirmed for 2014.
Jace’s Mindseeker
Nice ‘mill ‘ creature. It’s somewhat inefficient, but you do get potential value if you mill the right card.
Liliana’s Reaver
This is actually the most efficient pet so far, if only its stats were reversed.
Chandra’s Phoenix
It saw competitive play before. Will it rise from the ashes again?
Garruk’s Horde
Why did they reprint this? I hope that if a new Garruk is in 2014 he’s awesome.
Stay tune for another Spoiler later on as we continue our brief overview of the Magic: the Gathering 2014 Core Set.
