Magic 2013 Core Set: Massive Influx of Spoilers

You know yesterday seemed like one of those days, but as of yesterday the current spoiler count for the 2013 core set stands at a nice 91/249, meaning we got a huge massive wave of spoilers yesterday, 3/4 of which were reprints, most from Shards of Alara, but we also got a few new additions to the roster, let's take a look.


Here is a visual example of 2 brand new cards made for this set, Murder and Crusader of Odric, who seems to be a brand new white legend made entirely for this set, though if Murder is replacing the infamous Doom Blade as the removal spell of choice for this set, this means that for the first time since M10 there will be a black creature removal in this set, thank god, also with Crusader it's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control, costs 2 and a white, while the removal spell costs a mere 1, Black, Black.


My next two visuals are a little different, my favorite color in blue Mind Sculpt and Jace's Phantasm are both unique cards that work with a little known strategy called Mill, which wizards seriously seems to be pushing as of late to be honest, Mind Sculpt hits for 7 cards off the top, at sorcery speed for 1 and a blue, while the Phantasm gets +4/+4 as long as an opponent's graveyard contains 10 or more cards, so Memory Adept's 0 ability will trigger the ability on the creature, did i mention it flies and costs a single blue mana, making it perhaps the most ridiculous card of the set, uncommon wise of course.


Finally a old favorite returns with Farseek, it's about time and a new card Servant of Nefarox whom is one of the legion under command of that Nefarox, the new black legend for the set, 3/1 exalted on the servant and we all remember Farseek right, yes we do don't lie.

Anyways i'll list off a few other confirmed reprints for the set to get you folks excited.

- Vampire Nighthawk
- Negate
- Sign in Blood
- Oblivion Ring
- Elvish Visionary
- Divination
- Chandra, the Firebrand [Already Known]
- Duress
- Ravenous Rats

The list for the reprints goes on and on as usual, but with this particular update we are already 1/3rd of the way through M13 spoiler season, gee these things go fast these days for sure, anyways that's all for today, i've got lots of work to do on the spoilers for the emporium so this is vergil signing off.
