Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on June 20, 2016, 11:36 a.m. by DarkLaw
I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.

Why do we need Hal and Alena so badly?? They're like D list celebrities.

AwezomePozzum, Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor I am well aware that they are cast triggers. Nahiri is a card, after all. Kozilek ends games in 3 turns, guaranteed. New'Mrakul is a 13/13 flample. These cards are perfectly well on their own without the cast trigger.

Punderstorm - in regards to your comment about spoilers and people avoiding a spoiler forum if they don't want the story spoiled is just outright invalid.
There are separate forums for spoilers, rumors and speculation and Lore for a reason. Now, instead of getting to read it myself and be shocked or whatever reaction it caused, I've had the entire outcome spoiled in a completely lackluster fashion. All because of some twat waffle on Reddit.
Speculating about what we think might happen lore wise is fine.
It's another thing entirely to spoil the entire story and then say "well stay out of the spoiler threads if you don't wanna know".
So what, we shouldn't be allowed to discuss card spoilers because someone posted lore where it doesn't belong?
Lore discussions go in the lore forum.
SRS is meant for CARDS which is why I'm sure most of us come here.

Bellock86 This could go either way. Technically this thread is for EVERY spoiler, speculation and rumor that surrounds Eldritch Moon. That would include Lore and Story. No where in the thread forum or title does it specify only cards are allowed to be spoiled or speculated.
However, if someone does not know how to hide spoilers in their comment, they probably should not post spoilers.
TL;DR They are not breaking spoiler rules by posting spoilers here. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Actually, the "spoilers" that Bellock86 is complaining about are leaks. Spoilers are officially sanctioned dripfeeds of cards and stuff for us to look at. Leaks are blurry photos from reddit that confuse people and ruin the story. Remember "Waste mana?" That was from a leak. Here's a nifty way to remember it. A spoiler on your car is cool, a leak in your car is bad. And, as it says at the top of the page, this is for SPOILERS.

Bovine073 I guess, but New'Rakul isn't the best target for this if you do that. Either of the ulamogs and the old kozilek would work as good or slightly better as the new emrakul.
July 2, 2016 1:40 p.m.
AwezomePozzum well, annihilator was kinda a thing... lol
July 2, 2016 1:44 p.m.
My counter argument to that would be that the lore being spoiled wasn't a spoiler. It was a leak.
From Reddit. Also I'm not pointing fingers at Punderstorm for his discussing the lore. More his attitude of well don't come here then.
This wasn't a case of people having not had a chance to read it yet. This was a case of someone copying a leak from Reddit. Info that shouldn't have been available yet was posted in a public forum with no stance on ceremony. Again not by Punderstorm. The cat was out of the bag way before he joined the conversation.
TL;DR This wasn't a spoiler it was a leak. Spoiler guidelines shouldn't protect the propagation of a leak.
Edit: yeah what gene said.
July 2, 2016 1:44 p.m. Edited.
genericaura That makes more sense, but I feel like a leak is just an extension of a spoiler...lol Either way, if someone posts it they should be considerate and add the hide function.
July 2, 2016 1:45 p.m.
Bellock86 I realize that now. It wasn't quite clear in your initial post. I do agree, I really hate leaks. I'm not sure there are rules that say you cannot post leaks in this thread or threads like it. As I mention above, the best way to stop this is to at least have the poster use the hide function.
July 2, 2016 1:48 p.m.
DrFunk27 - I realized after my first post that I just kept typing spoiler this and spoiler which didn't really explain my point very well.
I agree. If you're going to go over the top, such as posting leaked material, use the hide function. If you don't know how to do hat then either learn or don't post the leaked material. Not everyone might appreciate it

I'm really surprised I didn't get a single mad comment. I mean, I wrote in all caps for some of that. I love the Magic Community.
July 2, 2016 2:07 p.m.
Meh. You had a point. Unlike most communities, the Magic one actually reads and thinks about the comments before responding angrily to them.
July 2, 2016 2:15 p.m.
I dislike leaks too, but curiosity killed the cat for me. The main thing I wanted to know was if Nahiri died or not.
shinobigarth: Wishful thinking. But they were in a couple Lore articles and flavor texts. That said, so was Ludevic and he hasn't got a card either.
July 2, 2016 2:26 p.m.
I just wish Magic would release more cards so we can stop talking about the leak lmao
July 2, 2016 2:42 p.m.
I think their mistake is releasing the art book before the story reaches its conclusion.
July 2, 2016 2:45 p.m.
Phaetion: right in the spot. Why not release all products related to the set at the same time? 22nd July - everything out. Leaks avoided.

DaftVader Weeellllll... that's rarely my experience with MtG players. T/O is usually okay, but other places including irl... not always.
July 2, 2016 2:51 p.m.
Hard to read comments irl but I know what you mean. I guess the (semi-sarcastic-quotation-marks) 'cream of the crop' are the ones who are active on TappedOut.

Maro says its more fun to slowly release info on cards as well as less overwhelming. i dont quite agree with that. i would just do it all a couple weeks before pre release all at once.
July 2, 2016 3:15 p.m.
We can tag them, I know a couple of their usernames, why did ya want them?

There was a leak? This goes to show how much I care about lore. Well, I care about it to a certain extent, but not enough to be bothered by leaks or what not.
July 2, 2016 5:45 p.m.
I'd post the image, but my phone is bugging. Could someone do it for us?

Where do you guys get your spoilers? I'm on mtgsalvation and they don't update quick enough
GoldGhost012 the foil version will look pretty
July 2, 2016 5:55 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #31
The main MTG Reddit sub is pretty quick to find all new information.
The foil will look real nice.
July 2, 2016 5:57 p.m.
I don't have a good sense for how impactful Turn Aside will be in Standard but I have to say I love the new art.
July 2, 2016 8:42 p.m.
I'm hoping with the teased spoiling of Liliana this week we'll finally see some stronger zombie support. This week's Uncharted Realms and the leaked info. from reddit seem to point to zombies playing an important role in countering the Eldrazi menace. It would be great to see Ludevic finally get a card as well to see some proper stitcher love but with the spoiling of Gisa & Geralf, I don't think it would be likely to see another necromancer card in standard.
July 3, 2016 12:19 a.m.
They're referring to the next seven days' worth of spoilers when they write "this week."
July 3, 2016 8:45 a.m.
shinobigarth, the card hasn't been spoiled yet. I believe she is being spoiled tomorrow with the final episode of Access Magic.
July 3, 2016 8:45 a.m.
Does anyone know if Thalia, Heretic Cathar, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Unsubstantiate, Blessed Alliance or Tamiyo, Field Researcher have any place in Bant Modern?

Protential new Lili may have leaked. I checked the image, and it looks legit: there's absolutely no flaws in this card that would prove it fake at the moment.
July 3, 2016 12:23 p.m.
I mean... I guess it's not quite as busted as Lilianna of the Veil but that lili is really good... And really similar. I'd be surprised if it's real.
July 3, 2016 12:28 p.m.
shinobigarth says... #42
looks a lot more real than the other one floating around which was 50 zombie tokens.
July 3, 2016 12:29 p.m.
Actually, it's fake.
Look at the dot between EMN and the EN. The spacing on the left is missing.
July 3, 2016 12:33 p.m.
I really hope that's a fake....it's pretty much the same thing as the old Lili.
July 3, 2016 12:38 p.m.
Also, look at the left side of the art. Do you see a white edge between the art and the border? I don't think that was part of the artwork...
July 3, 2016 12:41 p.m.
Wabbbit It's nothing like the old Lili. At all.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this as real. It follows the whole "13" number sequence, her ultimate is pretty much Army of the Damned.
Also, so much for hiding leaked cards, huh? It doesn't bother me but it's pretty inconsiderate to others. Can we not figure this out? C'mon people.
July 3, 2016 1:02 p.m.
shinobigarth says... #47
Ohh yeah that dot shouldn't be there. Seems like an easy thing to miss for whoever made it.
July 3, 2016 1:14 p.m.
shinobigarth The dot should be there. It's misaligned though, which means it is likely fake.
July 3, 2016 1:16 p.m.
DemonDragonJ says... #49
I really hope that that Liliana is fake, since it is too plain and unimaginative. The card itself is not terrible, but I was hoping for something more creative than that. Also, I believe that the third ability is too powerful for an ability that requires no mana and could theoretically be used multiple times; 8 loyalty is a high cost, but thirteen tokens is too many for such a cost; if the number of tokens generated was equal to the loyalty cost, that would be much more balanced, in my mind.
July 3, 2016 2:32 p.m.
There already was a thread about this very same fake card, and it's in this forum. Read that.

I just wanna play a toolboxy deck with thalia's lancers sadly thats the most interesting card for me so far lol. Innistrad has been nothing but disappointment for me so far.
