Return to Ravnica Spoilers: September 5th, 2012

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the emporium where today of course we will talk about the many cards spoiled thus far, so without further ado let's see what was spoiled today.


Well a nice limited bomb to start things off is nice, Azorius Justiciar is a 4 drop 2/2 that has the set ability Detain, it detains 2 target creatures your opponent controls when it enters the battlefield, it's not bad to start things off for today's spoilers.


How about a solid 2/3 common for 3 mana, with the keyword, Unleash which is the Rakdos mechanic for the set, basically this becomes a 3/4 body if you choose for 3 mana, a solid common for the limited format.


Slaughter Games is another rakdos based card this time around, 4 mana for a sorcery that you can name a non land card, then search target opponent's graveyard, hand and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them, then that player shuffles his or her library, plus it cannot be countered which makes it all the more viable for standard.


I've saved the best for last of course, introducing planeswalker #2 for the set Vraska the Unseen, she costs 3, Black, Green, she is a mythic rare of course and let's review her abilites since she starts at a whopping 5 loyalty here.

+1) Until you next turn, whenever a creature deals combat damage to Vraska the Unseen, destroy that creature.
-3) Destroy target nonland permanent aka Vindicate
-7) Put three 1/1 black assassin creature tokens onto the battlefield with "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game"

Basically she's the best walker of the set, making her one of the more desired walkers in a while, besides Ajani, Caller of the Pride of course who starts at 4 loyalty, but this girl even has win more printed all over her. But enough about today's spoilers, that's all for now, of course until next time this is vergil signing off.
