Magic 2012 Update Part 8: Big Reprints and New Walkers Vol 2

Hello all and welcome back to another Magic 2012 Core set update at the emporium, since it's friday this is a perfect way to end the week since my last attempt at this update was cut short due to technical problems with photo uploads, onto the stuff for this particular update. New walkers and old reprints are the name of the game here, let's start with today's addition to a core set in the form of a new walker called Jace, Memory Adept 




Let's take a look at his abilites first off +1, draw a card, target player mills a card from his or her library, a draw and mill effect at the same time, you're kidding me right well this is now all Jace has now let's take a look at the second 0 - Target player puts the top ten cards of his or her library into his/her graveyard are you freaking kidding me, Glimpse the Unthinkable on a walker tell me this isn't so, is that not the best thing ever, though i don't play Mill anymore i'd certainly like to get my hands on this beast of a walker, his final ability is -7 Any number of target players draw 20 cards, it's like saying here draw a 3rd of your deck bro, it's all good, did i mention it's a 5 cmc walker that has 4 loyalty, i'm sure someone out there will find a way to break this one, more then likely, but enough about walkers, have you seen the reprints of M12 yet, let's start with my least favorite titan Primeval Titan




Yes that same monster of a beatstick is back in standard for another year, a 6/6 monster that helps valakut win so much faster is back and bad as per usual, this will fill green's 1st mythic slot, hopefully along with a new garruk as i anticipated for sure, but i digress a 6/6 trampler with the ability to fetch lands when it enters the battlefield or attacks is just plain sick, this pretty much confirms the titan cycle is back and bold in the format once again, since we've already seen Inferno Titan the monster whom powers the bolt side of the Valakut builds, let's take a look see at one of my favorite new additions in a reprint ever in the form of a burn spell Incinerate




Oh yes this is back in standard yes, a 3 damage spell for 2, negates regeneration and the whole nine yards, the last time we saw this burn spell was back when with Tenth Edition and this is a great reprint in my eyes, since red did kinda get the shaft last year it's showing red's dominance once again in a standard enviroment, expect the price of Incinerate to go to at least 2 dollars, well that's it for this update ladies and gentlemen, be sure to stay tuned next time for the usual M12 update now that commander has been out for a full week i'll be taking a look at the deck i got called Heavenly Inferno in a article on the weekend, till next time though magic fans we're tapping out for now, but we will have a untap step soon, this is vergil signing off
