Well, well, well, we finally have Gideon revealed, he's Gideon, Champion of Justice, costs 2, White, White and is a mythic rare of course, he has 3 different abilities this time around, his +1 grants him a loyalty counter for each creature target opponent controls, his 0 ability turns him into a Indestrucible human soldier which P/T equal to the number of loyalty counters on him, he's still a planeswalker of course and prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn, until end of turn, his ultimate is for -15, exile all other permanents, wow just straight up exile, really neat wizards.
We also got a preview of the launch card for the set, Skarrg Goliath, which is a 8 drop 9/9 with trample, as well as bloodrush for 5, green, green it's scheduled to be the launch card for release day this time around, which is kinda interesting i guess.
Introducing the game day sign up promo, Zameck Guildmage, the simic guild mage, of course he costs, Blue, Green and is a 2/2 elf wizard that has 2 abilities, pay green, blue for this turn each creature enters the battlefield with a additional +1/+1 counter on it, pay green, blue and remove a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control, draw a card, glad green and blue is playing around the whole drawing cards and +1/+1 counter vibe.
Our buy a box promo this time is known as Nightveil Specter, the one we've been looking for for a month and a half now, now we know what it does, it costs, Blue/Black, Blue/Black, Blue/Black and is 2/3 with flying that whenever it deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles the top card of his/her library, you also get to play the cards exiled with him, not bad.
We also get a taste of the promo cards for the prerelease today as well, with Consuming Aberration which is a 5 drop that it's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards if your opponent's graveyard, then whenever you cast a spell, each opponent reveals cards from the top of their library, until he/she reveals a land, then puts those cards into the graveyard after, holy mill streak here batman, there will be a seperate article for these prerelease cards as well.
Clan Defiance is a dual colored burn spell which you can deal X damage to either a target creature with flying, a target creature without flying or target player, did i mention you get to choose 1 or more modes for this, so you can literally take out a flyer, a non flyer and burn your opponent's face off, it costs X, Red and Green and is sorcery speed and rare.
Keyrune #2 has been revealed and it's the gruul's this time around, it's 3 mana like always to cast, adds either Red or Green to the mana pool and for Red and Green it becomes a 3/2 beast artifact creature with trample until end of turn at the uncommon rarity.
Finally for today it's Hands of Binding, it costs 1 and a blue to cast and states that you can tap target creature a opponent controls, that creature doesn't untap during it's controller's next untap step, it also has Cipher which is the Dimir mechanic for this set, is a common and is a sorcery as well, very interesting wizards to be most frank.
And well that's all the previews for today, tommorow we will continue to take a look at what wizards is giving us in terms of everything, so until then this is vergil signing off.
