In Maro's article the other day about how New Kamigawa came about, he confirmed that there was a keyword about having both an artifact and an enchantment at the same time, but didn't quite make the cut as a named mechanic. As such, I claim victory! (and am also really just hyped to see this...

What makes a villain spinal anyways? Does that just mean they're lawful evil?

Knight of the Mists ?

Speaking of artifact support... Even if this was just an artifact 2/1, I'd still be stoked about it. How has this not been done before? And the trinket text implies to me that we might actually hit a critical mass of vehicles and vehicle support this block, given that this card would probably...

Not Jason, but I think the implied argument is that anyone playing a tap-out control deck will want both. And as not everyone will be playing that sort of deck, you're more likely to see the two in the same deck than random chance would suggest. Even if there are two of these types of decks, you...

This is an early frontrunner for "best common for cube!" Not only is this an Enchantment Creature, it works in aggro through equipment and aristocrats through *gestures vaguely*. Additionally, this is a another piece towards giving WR resilience to sweepers, which is super important for the...

Oops. Thanks for correcting me! In my defense it's been the week from hell.

Hey gang, is anyone else excited for preview season starting tomorrow? I can't wait to get our very first look at cards from this set! edit: no brain all hype

Going back to Psyduck for a moment, my worry is that if you drop it on turn 1, you can just start stacking counters and nug Villain for half their life total on T10 for one mana. If you draw it late, it's still a Rift Bolt, which that means that it has an insane delta between best and worst case...

Not a new card, but holy snot this is a good-looking showcase variant. Also, that first ability will wreck your opponent's board presence, and ward means they almost certainly won't have the mana to redeploy that turn.

I've tested it drafting and playing on my own and it's pretty darn good in a mid-to-low powered cube. (Tireless Provisioner is solid, for example.) Then again, I try to minimize freeroll value, and I feel like this supplies a lot of that, so I'm not too surprised it does work for me. Generally...

I watch it dubbed, so not yet! Soon!

That art is a lot more He-Man than any ninja I've ever seen before. (That's a good thing, by the way. Variety!)

I'm going to guess this is a mechanic about having both artifacts and enchantments, which fits with what I called earlier about this being an artifact + enchantment set! I can assure you that this insight is due solely to KEEN DEDUCTIVE REASONING and not at all the result of confirmation bias...

Green grabs nonbasic lands, which is big. White confirms vehicles and has some great effects. I feel like this is going to be a great topend for aggro decks and can help bridge the dichotomy between White decks that want sweepers and White decks that do not want sweepers due to playing a lot of...

I think it's fine; it's only important to be able to remove things that are actually going to kill you if left unchecked. These trade with most of your one-drops, so while you can effectively put your opponent down a blocker every turn I don't see them doing too much more than that. Unless...

You rang? Okay, the art and name are categorically incorrect for the card, but the idea seems reasonable to me.

Misty's Psyduck seems very swingy, though I like the design. Might you want to make it "tap target permanent. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step" instead? This would prevent it from feeling like a must-kill while keeping the same general vibe, I think. I'm probably also...

Metalwork Colossus Etched Monstrosity Pyromancer's Goggles God-Pharaoh's Statue The last one plays a lot better than it looks, for the record.
