Zaueski I just want it to be in Bant colors with an ETB so I can put it in Roon EDH. I'm not really a Standard player but I have kept up with Bant CoCo dominating standard lately. At least when KLD rolls in CoCo rotates out

DarkLaw it allows Memnite able to attack and lets Inkmoth Nexus contribute to normal damage. Also, it digs for the haymakers that affinity needs to close out games, I dont need that 3rd Springleaf Drum as much as I need to dig for Cranial Plating.

Whirler Virtuoso
Creature
Etb get 3
Pay 3 get a 1/1 Thopter.
2/3
This is the kind of pay off card that makes energy worth investigating to me. Interested to see what we do with it.

I feel like there's 2 cycles of legendaries going on here: Mono-color and enemy color.
, , , and look like they'll be in Aether Revolt.

Good spoiler cards for today! Not a 9 or 10 on the power level but usable for new Standard. Fun, too, by the looks of them. Not sure about that Carrier artifact dude. Seems like a gimmick. Idk, I'm sure some aggro deck will like it.
Rabid_Wombat - yeah, I made the comment knowing new players will crack them open in packs. But purchasing strait up you'll be taxed. But I play online competitively and kitchen table casually. :D

I'm pretty stoked on Inventor's Apprentice + Bomat Courier (cards not up on here yet)

Ohthenoises Zaueski I'm not exactly an affinity pro, but Memnite is pretty much the only card that combos well with Copter, and I've seen it frequently as a 2-of. Every other card is one you don't want to turn into a Copter in almost all situations. Even with more, there's just better ways to win. The only time it could be used effectively is to break incredibly specific board stalls, and pretty much only if you draw Memnite.

I've been playing affinity on and off for about 4 years.
The nexi are also good fodder for Crew, I mentioned that before.
The nexi are only needing to swing with Pest/master for numbers sake and half the time you just animate them to add to Plating/Ravager kills.
Also, inkmoth specifically can cause issues sometimes. Yes, the infect kill can happen but 9 times out of 10 you need that 1-2 extra points of normal damage to finish the game. Getting them down to 3-4 and then having your only creature (due to removal/blocks/etc) be inkmoth is really bad cause it feels like you have to start all over again. In that case, paying (effectively) to animate copter for normal damage is insanely worth.
Yes that can be corner case but if you are playing against a smart opponent it tends to happen more and more.

I was wondering about this Crew mechanic... if I have a creature with vigilance and a vehicle in play (let's say Aerial Responder and Ovalchase Dragster), can I during the declare attackers step declare Aerial Responder to be attacking and then tap him to crew the Ovalchase Dragster so that I attack with both?

Ohthenoises says... #22
No, all attackers must be declared at the same time

ADX95 ~ hey bud. Your links derped. Just a heads up

Skywhaling. Yay.
PETA is gonna be on the consulate's asses for this.
Anyway, at least Skywhaler's Shot seems viable in limited. Idk about the other two tho.
Don't we still have one last planeswalker being spoiled? (Tezzeret?)

Dovin Baan was spoiled; previous page
The question: Now that it's confirmed Ajani is on Kaledesh; and is saving Chandra's ass, is he the white PW the next set?
September 13, 2016 7:35 p.m.
Sooooo excited for the Kaladesh Inventions. I'm still freaking out about that Mana Vault reprint.
September 13, 2016 7:50 p.m.
AwezomePozzum All of them are pure gas in limited.
Also holy shit that's a flying whale. Immediately made me think of this.
Too bad it's a 4/3 and not a 4/2
September 13, 2016 8:12 p.m.
Araganor haha that's great, how did you find that?
Also we got space whales in mtg now, who would have guessed?
September 13, 2016 8:31 p.m.
Just watch that you don't get...whale-d on in Limited. ::p

Assuming you're not being sarcastic (it's hard to tell on the internet), it's a passage from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you like quirky British humor it's a great read, one of my personal favorites.

AgentGreen: Upon further research, turns out that the spoiled tezzeret art IS for Aether Revolt. And since Ajani is likely going to be in Aether Revolt, I think we're done for planeswalkers in this set.

Really liking how solid the removal is for white in limited. Too bad there's not a ton of tempo blue cards. I just want tempo fliers in limited again

Right now I'm looking hard at energy at this point 9/13 spoilers. An ability I'm shocked wasn't crapped earlier in magic's evolution. Kinda reminds me of Wizards Pokemon mechanics in some way.
In any event I'm looking at Harnessed Lightning and especially Aether Hub. But for some reason I'm getting the vibes around the net people are unaware of Hub's potential power level.

OP_Magikarp Didn't we just have tempo fliers in Eldritch Moon limited?
September 13, 2016 9:33 p.m.
I think RW is gonna be the go to color combo in limited from what I've seen so far. What do you guys think?
September 13, 2016 9:37 p.m. Edited.
HairyManBack says... #45
fun card. btw, where r u guys getting these recent spoilers. I've been updated by mythicspoiler.com
September 13, 2016 11:39 p.m. Edited.
Doubt it. It needs noncreature artifacts and affinity is generally pretty full of creature artifacts... I think.
September 13, 2016 11:49 p.m.
So, is there any chance that the planeswalkers from the PW decks will come with a non-foil version? I want the PW Nissa, but I hate foils.
September 13, 2016 11:51 p.m.
@HairyManBack: I've been using mythicspoiler as well.

Vehicles don't count as creatures, right? I can see some good synergy there with the metalwork colossus.

DarkLaw. First, don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not saying that its an auto 4-of in every affinity deck.
But there are pros to including 1 or 2 Smuggler's Copter. First off, it scales with your Steel Overseer and Master of Etherium. Second, it doesn't have to connect to the player to cycle a card away. It just has to attack or block. Further more, turning a Memnite into a 3/3 Flier with card cycling is good.
Like I said at the beginning, its not an auto 4-of. However it is definitely another toy that affinity can use and card draw, even in cycling form, is always a good thing.
