0/0

reserved for future uses

If there are Oozes, I'd love to see Oozes as the replacement for hydras, i.e. have no hydras, and just replace those slots with X-cost Oozes. Maybe even the type 'Ooze Hydra' pls.

I'd probably figure out maybe a few more mechanics and themes for the set (Theros has seven main mechanics and themes for instance: enchantments + monocolour; bestow, devotion, scry, monstrosity, heroic).

Yes this is just the...call it day 1 of spoilers....all this is preliminar

And Oozes is a Cycle of Rare Creatures each mechanically distinct...(White Ooze WTF?)

OMG that Ooze is awesome :3

It also Time to play a game:

Teasers are not just Teaser but a Guess what game (Sort of like Orace of theros is working atm), more will be appearing as well as they'll bee solving in time...

But that doesn't mean you can't figure out some of them yourselves

As a gift, 2 teasers solved:

- I trew a stone at it, and he came raging right to my spear == Provoke
- That is So Tacky == Ooze Cycle

Feels like something is sparkling on me: A planeswalker discovering his ability. i.e a new one.

Yeah, that has to be a Planeswalker

The Other Oozes

Creature - Ooze 
You may have Reflective Ooze enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield except it gains "Whenever another creature that share a name with this card enters the battlefield, put a token onto the battlefield under your control that's a copy of this creature."

Small update:
Manlands were sightly Updated to lose the creature type and enter the battlefield tapped unless the "Cost" is paid, instead of plain dying (The porpuose of this change was to make the land make more sence all in all)

Oooh, I like those lands and that removal.

Because f*** you Bogles. Now, those removals are really spectacular for what they do. Great versatility and not completely narrow as removal. Wonderful addition!
And limited just became so much more fun for Multicolor, drafting this set with those lands would be really spectacular.

Hello! Don't Mind me...i'm just a reprint on this set



PD: Rai where are you?

XD

Skianyxes are a Reptilian creature from the plane of Muraganda, that resemble various forms of Reptilian like animals such a Iguanas, Lizards, and Salamanders. They are not that big in comparison to other no flying reptiles in the plane. In general Skianyxes has a mainly Reptilian Body, but some parts are also more bird like. Most of them have dented beaks, and their Forepaws contains a Foreskin that they can retract or use them as Wings...those "Wings" seem scaled on the upside but they are feathered on the inside. Their legs resemble those of a Bird.

Skianyxes can be found alone or in bands depending of the region they live, the characteristics of those region also is the most important factor into determining 3 big Subfamilies to the species.

Coastal Skianyxes Roams all along the cost and reefs of Muraganda. In appareance, they resemble Salamander like Reptiles, they posses a pelican's like beak, and albatross' like wings, they skin color ranges from Violet to Blue and they Feed on Small maritime animals.

Mountain Skianyxes are the only one of the subspecies to have been domesticated and serve as a Mount to various Wildfang and Windsong Tribes. They are Iguana like creatures with Golden Hawk Features. They's scales range between a lot of Metalic tones. They are also the only omnivore subspecie

A third Subspecie know as Death Skianyxes live in the Swamps and Deserts. Mostly Ressemble Snake like creatures, therefore they are the only ones with out any kind of legs, they have Crow like features and their skin color range between Bluish to Golden Black tones. This subspecies feed on carrion and they are quite dangerous as they posses a lethal poision in they fangs and tails.

So yes...let's check out some of this interesting creatures:

Reefkeeper Skianyx
Creature - Bird Lizard
Flying
Reefkeeper Skianyx can only block creatures with flying or Islandwalk.
3/1

Ebony Skianyx
Creature - Bird Lizard
Flying, Provoke.
When Ebony Skianyx attack you may have it lose flying until the end of turn. If you do, Ebony Skianyx gains deathtouch until the end of turn.
2/3

Hm, is the wording on the Ebony one accurate? Seems hard to word it.

Rodrigo wrote:Hm, is the wording on the Ebony one accurate? Seems hard to word it.

I may word it like Manor Gargoyle I guess...

The point was to Introduce Skianyxes after all...XD

I'd consider adding in the reminder text of Primal "pays for an additional " rather than just "pays for ". A bit clearer, but it's irrelevant for the most part.

The ramp lands are very strong. I'd consider that the lands put the basic lands on the battlefield tapped, just because ramp on a land is much better than you expect.

I assume there are more Devour cards, not just Gluttonous Slime? I do like Gluttonous Slime though.

Skianyxes are cool. I quite like the little bits of lore. Keep up the good work.

Yes Devour is the Third Mechanic of the Set...I just wanted to have a reprint in here and that was the most...correct one as per set's lore

New Reprint plus trivia:


Did you know?: Muraganda has a tropical to desertic weather...most of the Sun Cycles (which is the most similar the known civilizations has to years), are either warm or really hot seasons. No wonders Muraganda tribes all wear so little clothes...(Even when a couple of them actually have fur o scales...XD). And it is certain that no Muragandi has ever saw what Winter is...or has it?

Seems like someone is hungry

Insatiable Krughrtrakk
Creature - Beast Zombie Lizard
Devour 1 (As this enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature enters the battlefield with three times that many +1/+1 counters on it.)
Trample
When devouring creatures, for each opponent, Insatiable Krughrtrakk can devour up to one creature that player controls.
"Some Muraganda creatures starve even when they don't have to be fed anymore"
3/3

HOLY SHIT

That is so extremely awesome, starting by its creature types.

I need this printed, now.

NEW WALL OF TEXT:

Dissclaimer: I'm not perfect at English...If I mess it up somehow along the tale...please let me know.

Ehlumman

Ehlumman is a Saphyum born from Matron Ahl’jhak the revered leader of the Frontier Windsongs. Since his birth Ehlumman was special among Saphyum it is said that only a few generations of Saphyum have a conection with the elemental forces of nature and Ehlumman was blessed with the ability to Synch with the life forms of Muraganda since the the moment of his birth. Fables tell that a the desertic lands where his was conceived became a fertil Oasis.
During his cub stages Saphyum abilities grew stronger and he became an outcast among his people. Saphyum are very keen on Magic as they deemed it dangerous to mess with the laws of nature. Ehlumman was then expelled from the tribe at a very young age, much to Ahl’jhak desires (As Ehlumman was his most beloved child).
Ehlumman had next to survive most of his life on its own, in a plane as dangerous as Muraganda. He learned to use his abilities and expand them as he encountered new dangers in his life. Was almost devored several times and live some periods of captivity when he was ambushed by a Shatterrock scout. It was at this time that he met the most dangerous form of life he has ever met. It was known as the Recycler, the Living End, the Consumer, but most of the civilizations of Muraganda called it, The Mimeoplasm. During his captivity The Mimeoplasm appeared in the Shatterrock camp and quickly started to devour all the living being in there...Most of the Shatterrock people seen a fight lost abandoned the camp leaving Ehlumman still in its jail to presence the consumming hunger of The Mimeoplasm being saciated. He feared for his end. But something happen, in desperation, he tried to link with any near form of Life...but The Mimeoplasm influence was to strong...feeling to life to use his powers on, trying his hardest, Ehlumman had a wish, he desired not to be there anymore. And just as The Mimeoplasm was approaching to consume him, he just dissapeared.
Ehlumman has just entered a stated of nothingness, a blinding infinity was just before him. Ehlumman realized he was just moving across that space, anything was better than being consumed so he felt safe in that place, but not as much as he wants, he wished to be gone of it as he did he moved toward the Blind eternities once again.
When Ehlumman awoke he was no longer in the Infinity Space he was before, but he was no longer in Muraganda either. He landed in a white mass of what he recognized as water. Solid water. Ehlumman then experienced a new sensation. He was cold. Muraganda is an always warm plane so the Cold Sensation he felt was all new to him.
With nowhere to go and the cold making his bone shake, Ehlumman used his powers once again, trying to find a lifeform that will grant him adaptation to this inhospitable enviroment. Soon Ehlumman would have regreted his decision. Elhumman felt a for of life...something Deep Beneath the frozen lake. Something, Cold, Evil, and aware of his presence. She was calling him, she wants to posses him, she want him. Ehlumman was afraid for his life once again. He wanted to scape from this Creature as much as he wanted to space from the Mimeoplasm, but the creatures will was quickly Subduing him. And it was at this point that, he wished with all he got to go back home. Closed his eyes firmly and felt once again the Blinding Infinity inside him, and walked away
Elhumman finally landed once again in Muraganda. In the cost of the north sea. When he awoke once again he was still cold. He realized that all must have been and Illusion, like the ones you got when you consume large dosis of Lemonbalm. But he soon realized he was wrong, Somehow, he still felt the Cold presence of the Creature he was escaping from and in fear he just ran away back to the dessert, where maybe he can feel confortable and warm once again. and he may just forget this new feeling. The feelings that whatever he encountered in that cold place. She may have followed him to Muraganda.
