Magic Origins SPOILERS!
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on June 8, 2015, 1:03 a.m. by JWiley129
MaRo's article got spoiled early, so we have some SPICY Previews with "new" mechanics!
TL;DR: Menace is replacing Intimidate & Landwalk, Prowess is now evergreen primary in Blue secondary in Red and maybe tertiary in White, and Protection is now deciduous used only as necessary.

On the draw T2 Knight of the White Orchid and follow it up with a T3 Archangel of Tithes?

Magicrafter They're already doing 10 dual-colored uncommons in a Core Set, multicolored rares is a bit much to ask. Otherwise, as I mentioned, momo- aggro.
Seriously.dec

Wait, that puts it on untapped thought it put the land into hand XD, way better than initial thought.
June 26, 2015 12:20 a.m.
Well, Knight of the White Orchid can replace Fleecemane Lion when it rotates then :)
June 26, 2015 12:36 a.m.
Guys, imagine casting Collected Company into 2x Knight of the White Orchid?
Also, White Weenie now has tons of support with Kytheon, archangel of tithes, etc. If it isn't a deck, it's not our fault.

Theives are the worst, especially when they steal foil Ugins.

Especially when they go around gloating they packed it after saying they bought a pakc on Sunday and didn't crack it until Tuesday. It hit me right in the feels.
Carry on with spoiler discussion. No threads shall be derailed this day.

Hopefully they will give me some decent Knights to top play with. A Woodland Bellower into a Leatherback Baloth seems exciting for mono stompy.

I'm hoping for some form of black aggro at this point.

That Demonic Pact doesn't seem bad in mono-B. Heck, just give us a Thoughtseize reprint. We are on Theros.

I am surprised that Knight of the White Orchid gets a reprint. I thought tutoring lands that ETB untapped wasn't something they liked to do anymore. Not to mention that ramp isn't usually in white's slice of the color pie.

God damn it. Fell asleep in the middle of adding the cards >.>

So uh, peeps, Battlefield Forge and Caves of Koilos are listed as 244 and 245. Llanowar Wastes is listed as 248. Shivan Reef and Yavimaya Coast are listed as 251 and 252.
That potentially means that we will have more lands coming right? Unless someone can correct me.
June 26, 2015 8:29 a.m. Edited.
Hmmm so 2 more lands, named something between C and L.. Possible reprints? Artifacts comes after lands, right? Otherwise 22 new lands lol
June 26, 2015 8:37 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #23
4 more lands smackjack. 246, 247, 249 and 250.
...
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth cycle completion? We won't get urborg itself though.
June 26, 2015 8:45 a.m.
252-272 would be the basic lands.
potentially since lands generally come in batches of 5, we will have 5 more lands (at least) at numbers 243, 246,247,249,250.
I saw in another thread that the Alara trilands fit those numbers perfectly.

New spoiler up! Vryn Wingmare. http://mythicspoiler.com/ori/cards/vrynwingmare.html
June 26, 2015 9:09 a.m.
Femme_Fatale: Wow, i never noticed that! Also, it could be 5 if we had a 243

Nonlegendary flying Thalia on four legs (and three mana)
June 26, 2015 9:12 a.m.
Ragon_Wolfbane says... #29
To bad the Vryn Wingmare costs 3 mana or else it'd likely see play in Death and Taxes.
June 26, 2015 9:12 a.m.
Thalia 2.0
...and not legendary, so you can have 4 in play, at the expense of additional CMC.
June 26, 2015 9:13 a.m.
Ragon_Wolfbane says... #31
Also that flavor text seems to be saying: "Anyone who rides this does so to be fabulous!"
June 26, 2015 9:13 a.m.
Named_Tawyny says... #33
Ragon_Wolfbane, at 2 CMC it wouldn't 'see play' in the Death and Taxes, it would overrun everything else. There's a reason Thalia is legendary. ;)
June 26, 2015 9:17 a.m.
Meh, Glowrider has existed since forever and it comes down too late generally. As a D&T player, I am not impressed.
June 26, 2015 9:19 a.m.
Ragon_Wolfbane says... #35
I feel like we'll get a nice mono-white in standard that makes use of Vryn Wingmare and the new Archangle.
June 26, 2015 9:20 a.m.
beakedbard says... #37
More expensive Thalia that can stack and has flying interesting though not that great.
June 26, 2015 9:22 a.m.
Vryn Wingmare Will see play in like every white standard sideboard against control.
June 26, 2015 9:31 a.m.
JaceArveduin says... #40
Well Boza, that one ain't Modern, so hatebears just found Thalia 4-8.
As for me? My pegasus deck just got a new card, and the price of my knight deck will go down slightly, though Knight wasn't particularly expensive.
June 26, 2015 9:37 a.m.
This has no place especially in modern, where 90% of what you do revolves around small, efficient creatures like Dark Confidant, midrange beasts like Siege Rhino and a combination of the two like Gurmag Angler. Sure, the effect is not completely wasted but modern D&T needs a 1 drop and its 3 drops are already overcrowded.

HolyFalcon says... #42
New Elf and new Goblin. The Goblin is like Rabble 2.0
June 26, 2015 10:38 a.m.
VampireArmy says... #44
That goblin is an og legacy goblin.
Holy shit Goblin Piledriver reprint
June 26, 2015 10:42 a.m.
Named_Tawyny says... #45
Well, that should reassure people that protection will still be used occasionally.
June 26, 2015 10:44 a.m.
VampireArmy says... #47
I mean origins is turning out to be throw back central. I like this a lot
June 26, 2015 10:47 a.m.
Named_Tawyny says... #48
Holy smeg-balls, some of those new elves are looking awesome. Mana dork with upside for attacks, 3 power for 2 mana, and a card advantage engine. BG elves will be a thing
June 26, 2015 10:48 a.m.
Rasta_Viking29 says... #49
Sucks I've lost my 2 Onslaught versions of Piledriver... Are goblins now Modern playable?
June 26, 2015 10:51 a.m.
I actually really really want to play BG elves in Standard.
JDMCRIB says... #1
Nice reprint, and that's even better for mono- aggro in Standard. Kytheon, Hero of Akros, the new Archangel, and now Knight of the White Orchid? Jeez...
