Magic 2012 Spoilers Part X-2: No this isn't a video game title

Hello all and welcome back to part 2 of today's spoilers since today was kind of a large update let's start right away with the usual stuff in terms of spoilers, first off is a new Illusion dude that resembles a Clone but this is a hell of a lot better personally as it helps speed Illusions to the necessary level of a tribe, in the form of Phantasmal Image




So a dude that is a clone but better it's still a illusion and has the ability when it becomes a target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it, not bad, since Lord of the Unreal is the glue this card needs to hold itself together, even if it targets a lord of the unreal it gives all your other dudes a +1/+1 boost and itself gets a boost from the original lord of the unreal, which is all that awesome personally, this makes Illusions a tribe personally and i'd love to see a list derived from Illusions themselves one day after the release of this core set, anyways enough about this one, let's move onto a new instant speed spell called Visions of Beyond




Wow, mill has it's card draw finally, a 1 blue drop instant that nets a card, but if a graveyard has 20 or more cards, you get 3 cards instead, seriously this is a nasty blue rare, it's a rare wait what, it's power level designates itself as a rare, personally i think wizards is pushing mill now as a variant since Caw-Blade is dead, first Jace and now this this is maddening personally anyways if mill becomes a variant i may pick it up again, well anyways onto the final card of the new update, let's take a look at a new land called Buried Ruin which seems to replace Terramorphic Expanse as the land of choice for the core set this year.


As expected from this set, a card that deals with artifacts since the last block was artifact based, this is a perfect addition to it and can be returned with abilites, it allows returns of artifacts to come back from the graveyard and adds 1 to your mana pool, the only downside is you gotta sacrifice it to use it's second ability but that is all not bad personally, i would think someone had some interest in following up scars block with a card like this, this is useful for a tempered steel build or something i don't know since Tectonic Edge rotates out in 3 months, so this could be a replacement for it, who knows, anyways that's all for today's 2 parter update since well i didn't wish to make a long article but two decently sized ones, till next time magic fans this is vergil signing off.
