Mirrodin Besieged Discussion Part 4: Possible Legendaries and Unconfirmed Cards

So i figure instead of wasting two articles on both sides i should just attend to one article discussing as much as humanly possible including some very rumoured legendaries and even a few unconfirmed cards which i'm sure will turn a few heads when i am finished with em, so let us begin part 4 in proper style with a mirran legendary.

The first one on the list of many cards to discuss is, Ghalma, the Shaper this happens to be a legendary elephant artificer on the mirran side of things, since this is a elephant though you can expect a toughness level of about 4 or 5 depending on the type but this being a mirran toughness would probably be at about 5 at all respects with a power of about 3 depending of course if it has any special abilites to speak of, One ability i believe it will have though is lifelink since it's a artificer and it's white who can say, but i expect this to be a rare and not a mythic rare level card with a casting cost of about 4 to be more precise, if i had a photo to work with for this one i would do so but i do not.

Another particular white legendary happens to be Juryan, the Rebel Kha, for those who don't know what a kha is it's a form of a lion basically so this being said white creatures such as this are going to have a high power rating of about 4 and a toughness rating of about 3 roughly with a casting cost of perhaps 3 sounds pretty decent don't you agree, the abilites though could vary, it could have something we've not seen yet, or the fact it could have battle cry the first spoiled ability of this set, or it could a evergreen keyword ability such as Lifelink, or perhaps plainswalk who knows, all i know about this particular card is when it is spoiled i won't be too surprised to see this one, provided the name is correct and the rarity sounds a regular rare to me then again i could be wrong about that as always.

Now the only problem with this next card is it's phyrexian but we don't know the full name yet, all we know is the title in the name, the Many Legged one, Many legged one sounds to me like it's probably one of the phyrexian's generals in the flesh or metal in this case it's defintely a mythic i can tell by the title alone and the fact it's a phyrexian it's been known mythics have some general basis for things like Skittles or some other card, obviously this is probably gonna have infect or some form of proliferate to balance it out, the power and toughness ratings are unknown to me even at this point as i don't wish to speculate without the full name, but if it's a legendary you can expect this to be about a 5 casting cost card roughly to balance itself even further as wizards don't believe in overpowering specific cards or so one would think

The next possibility on my list a black legendary this time, Sheoldred, Whispering One now this sounds like a bad ass legendary, probably gonna have infect for sure since it's a phyrexian legendary, also probably gonna be a mythic rare and a high casting cost of about 4 to make it a tad more balanced, the power/toughness ratio is unknown to me even though it sounds tough but then again look at glissa, the traitor for the results she had to have first strike on her to make her tough so that is saying something in itself, if the phyrexians are stooping to this low it seems to me this has to have deathtouch seeing as how it is a black card and has some very corrupt motiviations and all, we will have to wait and see how this one turns out as i am anxiously awaiting the spoiler for this particular card.

Thrun, the last troll, are you seriously kidding me he's finally here after what 10 years of being spoken of in specific points during the storylines of the worlds, wow much trolls finally have a general for EDH yes i can now make the troll deck happen, as trolls go this has gotta be a mythic, 5/5 on the ratio of power and toughness and the fact it has to have a new ability we've not seen yet, it's nice to see this guy after so long but then again it's kinda underwhelming for the set in general, the casting cost though sounds to me like a 5 or 6 perhaps since it's a troll and looking back at all the other trolls made in magic they have roughly the same casting cost issue, sounds cool let's just hope he's done right.

The unconfirmed cards for the set range from various Auriok's to even a few sylvok's to even a few phyrexians i cannot speculate on any of these right now but when the time comes i will talk about them in the spoiler so keep your eyes on the spoilers for here when it is released before the prerelease date this time hopefully, anyhoo i think that will about cover it for this edition of the discussion i've gotta a lot to do in the next couple of weeks in terms of spoilers so enjoy the spoiler season and i'll be seeing you next time, this is vergil signing off.
