Shadows Over Innistrad spoilers

[WWolfe]

no one noticed MADNESS??
there is a common Fiery Temper in there, so u deffo discard this to lighting axe

Yup, saw that. Essentially 8 damage for 2 mana. Curious to see what else goes with that.

     So as far as mechanics go we have; INVESTIGATE, SKULK, MADNESS, DELIRIUM, and PROWESS. This seems like it's going to be an interesting block this time around. Also with these new mechanics do you think that they'll tie into the story-line some how? Investigate makes me think that there's a mystery (and we all know that JAce is going to be looking for Sorin and the whereabouts of Nahiri). The rest and the flavor text seems like the evil on Innistrad has just run amok.

[WWolfe]

Yea, I think they'll tie into the storyline.

Madness, perhaps whatever Sorin did to Nahiri that had regret for causing her to go mad or perhaps drives him mad with guilt.

I think things are going to be quite harry this time on Innistrad.

     It really makes me wonder how all that ties into the shadows over innistrad trailers. I mean we all know that Avacyn was CREATED but by what method we're still unsure. Maybe she was created by some dark means similar to how Edgar Markov created the vampires and she finds out somehow. Or perhaps Avacyn becomes distorted in her faith and becomes tainted by the darkness that she was forced to reside in of the helvault?

[WWolfe]

Maybe making Nahiri into Avacyn is what Sorin meant about regretting what he did?

[G. Moto]

Wait what do you mean about that?

[WWolfe]

Avacyn was created somehow, perhaps what Sorin was referring to where he was talking about being in deep regret over something he did, and since he went to look for Nahiri, maybe the answer is that he turned Nahiri into Avacyn.

[G. Moto]

     It's a little tough for me to see a Kor being turned into an angel but since Wizards hasn't released any new info anything can go at this point. Maybe Nahiri died and he created Avacyn as a morbid yet sad reminder of his friend that he lost.

Clip Wings looks EDH playable.

anybody else expecting eerie interlude + wrath of god in modern?

Curious to see what Planeswalkers we get in this block.

Jace seems like a definite since he's seen in art work. Would love to see Tamiyo but I doubt we get two mono blue planeswalkers in a set. Would like to see a RB Tibalt. I also imagine we'll get a flip planeswalker again.

I'm hoping for Tamiyo. I'm getting a little sick of Jace, to be honest (and yes, some of it is disgust at myself for not picking up a placeset of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy for $20 when Origins came out. People misjudged that card pretty badly.)

[WWolfe]

I'm hoping for Tamiyo as well. It's time for Jace to take a block off.

anybody else expecting eerie interlude + wrath of god in modern?

I fully expect to see it in EDH and Modern wouldn't surprise me at all.

     That card clip wings (look at the picture and the flavor text on the mtg spoiler site) just described the whole set in a nut shell...humans versus angels and the creatures of the night growing stronger in the conflict. This is going to be a very compelling block for Innistrad. And to top it off Nahiri is out to seek vengeance on Sorin. This should be good.

Brain in a Jar looks interesting. Kind of like the Scry X more than the first ability.

[G. Moto]

Reminds me of jar of eyeballs.
