It's sort of like Bloodthirst, this is the mechanic:
Raid -- When ~ enters the battlefield, if you attacked with a creature this turn, ...

Mythic spoiler has never shown an incorrect spoiler before in my experience. They will sometimes mock up an English version of a foreign language card and get exact wording or exact name wrong. However; I have never seen a card that was all out fake or the gist of the card was incorrect. With the poor quality of that card image I am going to wager that is a photo not a mock so it should be exact.

I hope it doesn't play out as RtR Limited. Almost all mechanics were designed for the combat step, SOOOO boring.
unleash -> attack, you can't block
bloodrush -> attack, discard your hand
detain -> attack safely/that can't attack
evolve -> attack, your guys are bigger now
Scavenge -> your guys are bigger now, attack
Cipher -> attack for triggers
Populate -> more guys to attack with with
Battalion -> attack with a bunch guys for triggers

This is from a spoiler they showed at gamescom in germany today. They also showed a morph creature. As TexasDice I hope they put in more diversity with what the mechanics affect.

My guess is that Morph is back to help Blue and Green. Maybe Root Elemental reprint?Anyway, I wouldn't bet too much on not having attack-oriented mechanics. M15 kinda killed all hopes of that.

Pobably because of the new "good removal must be white or too expensive" policy wizards tries to push through.

I think raid does a really good job of fitting the aggressive flavor of the tribe and I doubt that the abilities will be like rtr. Remember that this set was designed for gameplay first and that each tribe has a unique play style given to them, from control to graveyard shenanigans to aggro

"I will Thoughtseize targeting you"
"How about target yourself?" flips morph creature up
"Oh..."

Him: T5 Brimaz, King of Oreskos ? Dissolve
You: Willbender (evil smile) Dissolve your Dissolve with your Dissolve
Would that work?

Yeah it would. (as long as you have five or more lands lol)

I don't think you can redirect a counterspell to itself, you can only redirect it to the redirect.
But since Willbenders ability isn't a spell on the stack, that doesn't work.

Well, to change its target, you have to choose a spell on the stack. Since Redirect has resolved by that point, you can't choose redirect. But I've never heard of a rule saying "Counter spells cant counter themselves", it's just that you have to choose a target before you put it on the stack, and the target has to be on the stack, so the only way it could counter itself is if it gets redirected.

How legit that? Do we know for sure? It looks pretty sweet.
