Hello everyone and welcome to yet another edition of the emporium, in today's edition it's all about the current spoilers of course from the various sources on the internet as per usual, we have a Channel Fireball spoiler as well and a confirmed reprint via a specific photo, so without further ado let's go.
Introducing our Buy-a-Box promotion card for the set, Cathedral of War, it adds one mana to your mana pool, it enters the battlefield tapped, it gives Exalted, hooray for it giving it exalted and has some good kick butt regular art, it's a rare land at that so expect it to be a neat thing when the set drops in July and you get a chance to get the Buy-A-Box promo version of this card.
Now wizards i know loves pushing specific archetypes when the core set comes out every year, this is of course no different, oh how about some juicy mill cards for you folks, introducing Sands of Delirium, 3 mana for a rare artifact that you can pay X and tap it to have target player put the top X cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard, which is also known as milling, it seems to me wizards is indeed pushing this archetype so much, that with Innistrad Block there are more then enough Mill cards to do the job alongside the Core Set's offering this year we might see a standard mill deck rise out of the core set.
Oh how about a nice green beater, introducing Thragtusk, the Channel Fireball preview for this set, 5 mana for a 5/3 that when it enters the battlefield you gain 5 life, excellent hmm, but when it leaves the battlefield you get a 3/3 beast in it's place, meaning that you can abuse the tricks of the last set Avacyn Restored to blink this out of existence and return it to activate it's abilities yet again, netting not only a 3/3 but returning the base creature and gaining 5 more life.
It appears that we are getting a old red enchantment for this set, known as Fervor, yes that neat 7th edition enchantment that grants all creatures haste is indeed getting reprinted for this set, alongside of course Kitesail and Elixir of Immortality which are pretty much also confirmed at this point in time, but that black enchantment is known as Crippling Blight and was spoiled quite some time ago when there was a massive common/uncommon spoiling, but yeah it is nice to see a few old reprints every core set as per usual.
With that it's time to end this edition of the emporium, but stay tuned, there's more news where this came from, expect yet another edition later today, with a bit of news on Duels of the Planeswalkers, till then this is vergil signing off.
