How likely do you think Char will be slapped on as a Chandra/future red-planeswalker ability? I always thought something like that or Obliterate would be pretty cool

Tried watching the stream. Way too much flicking cards and taking agonizing amounts of time on every decision. Especially Sigrist, who keeps getting the feature match. Strangely, the shuffling of hands that a lot of them do doesn't bother me, but the incessant flicking is maddening.

>>49118709
>Speculation
Planeswalker reveal, Chandra most likely, maybe reveal of the other Planeswalker deck rep (Nissa I'm thinkin') OR Saheeli Ray.

Mechanic E. Maro has been teasing this one and has all but said he'll reveal it at Pax.

Legendary creature, probably something white, green or black. Finally up to 2 rares and 3 uncommons.

These googles have no relation to Pyromancer's though. These are an artificer's judging by the magnifying lenses. I'm tempted to say they are Dovin's but he apparently uses some lenses that can extended from his shoulder.

>>49132914
Kinda meh, but 3 CMC walkers have always been playable in some fashion at the very least (LotV, Domri Rade, Dack Fayden, M14 Ajani, Lorwyn Jace, Ashiok, OGW Nissa).

The hardest part will be keeping her alive, as she can't really protect herself (the +1 only hit opponents, and -2 exiles the copy at the beginning of the next end step).

Mechanic E is Energy, a new resource.

Permanent fucking mana.

I can see how this mechanic was originally used for mirrodin.

>>49133152
hyped to show a glorified mana reskin

New mechanic is a resource called Energy, which doesn't go away like mana does, emptying at the end of every phase and step.

>>49133152

>>49120692
>Not liking Jund lesbian three ways while jace has to sit around do paperwork.
Shit taste m8

Did... Did they finally make a +1/+1 mechanic that doesn't suck ass in Fabricate?

At least MaRo said that they did experiment with making 1/1 flying thopter tokens, and you would just always choose making the 1/1 thopter.

>>49133177

Huh. Looks like they're trying to integrate that Kaladesh has very little actual direct interaction with mana with how things play.

Well, that's the second positive counter players can accumulate, and unlike EXP counters they're playable in standard and modern. Might make some proliferate cards a little better, but it really depends on if energy counters have any use at all besides activating some cards from this set.

Well, this guy was pretty strong in limited, so that's understandable.

The thopter makers in Origins were also pretty decent, but the deck was held back by the bad curve and that shitty 4 mana 1/2.

>vehicles can crew vehicles

Vehicle creatures have the manland advantage of dodging sorcery speed removal. So that's nice.

>>49133302
MaRo also said that there's enough Vehicle cards that you can make a Vehicle-heavy (if not Vehicle-only) deck.

It'll probably be nothing but common and uncommon draft fodder, with 1-2 actual Standard-playable cards, but still, sounds interesting.

>>49133404
Eh, that's most mechanics.

From Khans block the most constructed playable mechanics were Delve and Prowess, pretty much everything else was niche.

when's contraptions

>>49123147
broken, ESPECIALLLY in monocolored decks

>>49133302
I can Zoo getting better if there's a rare cheap version of this.

With such a focus on artifacts, what do you guys think the over/under on artifact cards will be?

Assuming a large set (so like 250-ish cards), not including the servo tokens, I'm going to put the over/under number at 40.5. I'm going to say over, but only just.

I don't know how I feel about this shit.

>>49133464
Honestly I could see a budget Zoo deck running it as-is as a 2-of. Easier to cast than Ball Lightning (the closest analog), only you choose when to drive the thing into your opponent. The hardest part will be having a creature around to pilot the thing and not be sent along with it to bash your foe's brains in.

>>49133523
Saheeli is 186/264 and ovalchase is 225, and theres probably only a few multicolor cards after saheeli, so thats at least 35~ artifacts up to the letter O. Seeing that the new land is right before island and is 247, you can assume 5 swamps and probably ~2 other a-i named lands, there are probably slightly more than 50 artifacts total.

>>49133569
You are bad.

>>49133662
He did say budget Zoo, maybe he literally means a budget of like $30.

>Whenever a permanent you control is put into a graveyard you get an Energy

So I'm assuming there's going to be other ways you get energy, but this thing works well with fetchlands

>>49133707
That would still make the deck worse.

>>49133739
Pretty sure tokens touch the graveyard for rules purposes related to creatures entering the graveyard before being exiled, so any chump blockers you use with Servos or Thopters also power the thing up.

Plus, there's probably going to be some sort of colorless generator to turn mana into Energy at a high cost. Probably something like, "Tap, 4 mana, add 1 Energy to your pool."

>>49133644
Aetherworks Marvel is 193 and by virtue of starting with Ae- probably the very first artifact in the set.

So that narrows the count to... 50-54. So it was a pretty accurate guess on your part.

>>49133347
They cannot as they aren't creatures. Unless you turn them into creatures first that is.

>>49133281
>>49133739
I'm guessing Energy counters may be exchanged for (<>) mana so that Kaladesh can tie in nicely with BfZ's Colorless matters theme. And to make them playable.

For example, I like Chandra and Lilliana because they make my pee-pee very stiff.
