Remember how i said there was a Jund plane, well this is it, Jund, with the planar subtitle Alara, meaning for the first time we got one a old area we know, so for this one it's whenever a player casts a red, green or black creature spell that creature gains devour 5, plus whenever you roll a specific symbol, you get 2 1/1 goblin tokens from it, not a bad thing honestly, but there's another card besides it, check out Thromok the Insatiable whom is yet another legend of this particular new set, he's a 0/0 has devour X, where X is the number of creatures devoured this way and he costs 3, Green, Red, he's a mythic rare and he's a hellion, a interesting legendary here folks.
We also have a new Phenomenon called Spatial Merging, where whenever you encounter this particular card, reveal cards from the top of your planar deck, until you reveal 2 plane cards, Simultaneously planeswalk to both of them, Put all other cards revealed this way to the bottom of your planar deck in any order, another interesting card to be honest here, because let's face it going to 2 seperate planes is hilarity.
Sitting behind a old friend is a brand new card for the format called Illusory Angel, she costs 2, blue, flies, is a 4/4 which you cannot see due to lens glare, is a Angel Illusion, which is a first for magic i do believe, she can only be cast if you've planeswalked this turn, meaning she is only good for this particular format, which itself is not much of a surprise, she's uncommon as well so expect to see her in every Blue based deck, since i've got a feeling she'll be in at least 2 of the decks.
Another devour based mechanic creature is a dragon named Preyseizer Dragon, costs 4, red, red has devour 2, flies and whenever it attacks it deals damage to target creature or player equal to the number of counters on it, it's a 4/4 rare too so meaning it probably going to be seen as a 1 of in the Jund based deck.
Wait there is a lot more, sitting besides another old friend, is two brand new cards Dragonlair Spider and Brindle Shoat while the spider is a 5/6 that costs 2, red, red, green, green, ala Dragon Broodmother she also has reach and whenever a opponent casts a spell, put a 1/1 green insect creature token onto the battlefield, she is also a rare, while the Boar meanwhile has a 1/1 body, costs 1 and a green to cast, is a common and when it dies you get a 3/3 boar token to replace it, expect to see this abused a lot for devour.
We have a new plane called Truga something or other, can't tell due to lens flare, again this pictures suck but at least it's something, it's on a plane called Ergamon which looks really nice honestly, the card does All lands have tap, add one mana of any color to your mana pool, whenever you roll the planar symbol reveal the top three cards of your library, put all lands revealed this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order, so here is your land fixing plane, i'm guessing this is going to be included in almost all of the decks.
Last but not least sitting bewteen Exotic Orchard and Mass Mutiny which is returning by the way is a brand new artifact based card called Etherium-Horn Sorcerer which has Cascade and the ability Pay blue and red to return it to it's owner's hand, repeatable cascade anyone, seriously, it's mana cost is 4, blue, red and is a 3/6 rare, of course i'm over impressed due to this factor, since cascade is already a very broken mechanic, now it's just more broken then ever.
Anyways that's it for today, monday we begin official previews, if none of these cards have already been spoiled come monday, see you next time.
