Innistrad: What to Expect

So hello everyone and welcome back to another article on the might of the upcoming set, Innistrad which is scheduled for a September 30th, 2011 release date all around the world and today i'll be going over what to expect in Innistrad since some hints have been spoiled about it today during the latest Mark Rosewater article called State of Design 2011 which can be found here for viewing ---> State of Design 2011 Article in which he talks about the sets up till now he's done plus gives us a little flavour for Innistrad which is his latest and soon to be largest set in 3 years time, let's take a look at some of the many hints in the article

A card Based on a silver bordered white card - Now this is something nice, the Un-Sets which were pretty damn funny to begin with, were the only ones with Silver borders around them printed to date, to see this clue means one of the many cards in Innistrad is going to be based off one of the white cards in the Un-Sets.

Token Making Sorceries much larger then before - You'd think they could go bigger with this clue, it's basically saying were not done making good large casting cost token sorceries in game yet, here's a hint for innistrad go big or go home.

Enchantment that could let you play creatures for free - Do we really need a enchantment form of Elvish Piper or Master Transmuter that allows for free play, seriously Rosewater, seriously this is stupid this is kinda why survival got banned in Legacy due to it being a cheap casting cost spell dammit.

Spells that deal massive damage for cheap - You have to be kidding, cheap board sweepers, cheaper then Wrath of God or Day of Judgment now you are just asking for trouble again, Wizards will you ever learn from your players and take their advice, stop making these stupid cards.


Cards Inspired by Horror Stories - This one is expected since we have a few elements of Horror in this set, so this one is not very surprising at all personally but it is nice to see this hint confirmed by the man of magic himself, thanks MaRo.


A 2 mana creature that allows for more creature production - Seriously a really good token producer i'd like to see that on a stick, oh wait it's been confirmed via this hint, sheesh take all my dreams and aspirations away would you wizards.


Card Exchanging Life totals with something new - You mean we have a way to do something brand new in this set, thank god i was gonna get tired of that busted Infect mechanic from SOM block last year and to see this relieves me quite so.


A Planeswalker with Five Abilites - Didn't you learn from Jace, the Mind Sculptor wizards, really is this going to be thrown on the new Lillana of the set, if it is expect her to get banned in 2 years time from standard, i'm throwing out the prediction now folks, banning in 2 years from both Modern and Standard once wizards realizes this mistake of a choice.  


Well that's all for this edition of the emporium, remember kiddies innistrad previews begin next week, so stay tuned to the watch dog ship aka the Momma ship for more information, this is vergil signing off
