Sets (LCI & REX) Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Jurassic Park spoilers
- Thread starter TrainmasterGT
- Start date
Cenote Scout and Deep-Cavern Bat are nice.
This looks intriguing:
Transforms into:
The Tomb of Aclazotz
Legendary Land - Cave
T: Add B
T: You may cast a creature spell from your graveyard this turn. If you do, it enters the battlefield with a finality counter on it and is a Vampire in addition to its other types

I say this about basically every card now but damn does this look like a sweet Samwise Gamgee card!
Funnily enough, one of the cards I'm currently the most interested in is
I've been fiddling with a Mardu Vampires vs. Humans cube (with some sneaky class tribal stuff in there as well), and I like having three-drop black lords/signposts for the various themes (the other two I'm currently including are Exsanguinator Cavalry and Markov Baron)

These cards were both printed before WOTC started including tokens in packs, so the tokens themselves actually are new : )
shaaame
Aaaactually they did print bat tokens in several sets before now. (Very happy when it happened--with enough mana online, Skeletal Vampire is actually surprisingly pesky, been playing him on-and-off for years.) Gnome tokens also saw print in an Un-set.
Turns out that printing tokens on bad cards makes them very forgettable!
I was ready to go to the barricades to defend Bat Whisperer as something memorable enough that I knew it existed!
...but uh. I had to confirm that was actually its name first.
(also, they literally printed a Skeletal Vampire bat token thanks to those weird "Guild Kit" precons)
also here's a spoiler:
it's like Narnam Renegade, but totally different, but I'm at least slightly interested in what is functionally "revolt: 2/2 for B." with many upsides.
The descend goblin, right? I think he seems pretty decent as well, at least when drawn early.
All this descend is a bit confusing to me.
Descend X: Threshold Spell Mastery variant but for X permanents in your graveyard.
Descended: If you have put a permanent card into your graveyard this turn.
Fathomless Descend: Count the amount of permanents in your graveyard and do something with that number.
Did I get them right?

Legendary Creature - Vampire Scout
Ward — Pay 3 life
Whenever you gain life, ~ explores. Then, destroy each other creature if its power is exactly 20.
2/2
---
T2 This thing, T3 Wildgrowth Walker + Tamiyo's Safekeeping, swing in for an arbitrarily large amount of damage after wiping the board and gaining an arbitrary amount of life?
Skeletal Vampire kicks ass!!
Y
You’re right! It’s just the only card that makes the token which does kick ass : )
Stalactite Stalker will probably replace Evolved Sleeper in my cube. The sleeper is mostly there because I like the card, but this weird little goblin actually fits the mechanical space.
Between him, Spyglass Siren, and Cenote Scout, the one-drop zone is going to get a nice refresh with this set.

We might be able to draft a full toughness matters theme someday... Card is a cool beater. Not having trample or something makes it manageable.
THE REST INTO YOUR GRAVEYARD?! Versatile card for sure.
Dig the art.
Pit of Offering
Land - Cave
Pit of Offering enters the battlefield tapped.
When Pit of Offering enters the battlefield, exile up to three target cards from graveyards.
T: Add C.
T: Add one mana of any color among the exiled cards.
That's kinda sweet. Bojuka Bog meets Exotic Orchard meets Corrupted Grafstone.
This feels right.
Sunken Citadel
Land - Cave
Sunken Citadel enters the battlefield tapped.
As Sunken Citadel enters the battlefield, choose a color.
T: Add 1 mana of the chosen color.
T: Add two mana of the chosen color. This mana can only be used for activated abilities of a land source.
This is probably something somehow. I can imagine a cube that runs multiples being interesting.
Artifact Creature - Golem
As Wandering Throne enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
Wandering Throne is the chosen type in addition to its other types.
If a triggered ability of another creature of the chosen type you control triggers, it triggers an additional time.
I assume this missed Ward 2 in the text. Sweet tribal card with respectable stats. And colorless!
Legendary Artifact
Whenever one or more permanents become untapped during your untap step, put that amount of time counters on The Thousand Year Calendar.
2, T: Double the amount of time counters on The Thousand Year Calendar.
When there are 1000 or more time counters on The Thousand Year Calendar, sacrifice it and each opponent loses 1000 life.
Really fun and a little playable for cube in the right environment.
I am not immune to loving cards with big stupid numbers on them. No idea how you make the big calendar playable but definitely one of those cards that makes you wanna build an environment just to see it do it's thing.
It is much less activations than you think.
After casting it you u tap the land used to cast it: 1 counter.
Next turn activate 1: 2
Untap 2 lands and clock: 5
Activate 2: 10
Untap:13
Activate 3: 26
Untap: 29
Activate 4: 58
Untap: 61
Activate 5: 122
Untap: 125
Acivate 6: 250
Untap : 253
Activate 8: 506
Untap: 509
Activate 9: 1018
This is all assuming you did nothing but activate the clock. The question is how much artifact removal do you have in your cube.
But it is about the dino artbook full art version for me
Whenever you attack, you may discard a card. When you do, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. That creature gains trample until end of turn.
Whenever you discard one or more cards, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card until your next end step.
I think it might be too good for me, sadly, with the second effect on top, but damn that's a great aggro madness card.
