So, uh... WTF Is This?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on April 16, 2014, 9:37 p.m. by GoldGhost012
We have what appears to be Dack Fayden- or at least a third of him. He's definitely multicolored, definitely blue, and has a +1 ability.
I think he's also part black, but otherwise I have no idea what the hell he does, how much he costs, how many loyalty counters he costs, why he's in Conspiracy, etc.
Well, he is a thief, so maybe he creates a conspiracy after stealing something and then people start blaming each other?
April 16, 2014 9:41 p.m.
Wait does that mean he won't be legal in standard and modern?

Probably. Conspiracy is a set like Archenemy and C13.
April 16, 2014 9:44 p.m.
which means to even be legacy playable hes gotta be 3 cost and powerful (jtms wins the game at 4 mana sooo), or i suppose useful in commander, otherwise hell just sell packs bc hes a walker in a more limited release set
i deffinetly see it has U/B and his 2nd ability is deffinetly a minus

Awwwwwww I can't use him in standard or modern... sniff.... Oh well.
mckin His ult could be steal target player's library instead of removing it. XP
April 16, 2014 9:50 p.m.
They gotta make people buy the crappy play-it-once-and-forget-about-it sets somehow.
April 16, 2014 9:57 p.m.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I was hoping for another planeswalker in JOU. You got me all excited!

GoldGhost012 says... #14
I suppose that might make sense too. Both U/R and U/B walkers have blue coloration on their left sides. See Ral Zarek and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver vs. Venser, the Sojourner and Kiora, the Crashing Wave for example.

His DotP decks are U/R. He loves artifacts, steals stuff, and causes mischief. Main character of the comic book, reader's of it are probably the best source for info on him.

I have the IDW #1 comic for Dack Fayden in Theros. I bought it specifically for the High Tide promo since it was cheaper than buying the card by itself lol. I guess if anyone wants to know a little bit about Dack let me know :P

A new set of Full arts would be nice, In the flavor of thievery, what if his plus 1 was something like take a card at random from an opponents hand and put it into yours, you may cast this card. Too powerful? It would be raw card advantage but probably wouldnt be broken with the right cmc

I would Love to hear more about Dack. I am very upset that he wont be standard legal, though. Ill still play him in edh, though. no matter what his abilities are
April 16, 2014 10:46 p.m.
From that, it looks like he is definitely U/R, and he is something like this:
+1- essentially Faithless Looting
-2- Gain control of target permanent (until EOT?)
-6- You get an emblem with : ...?

GoldGhost012 says... #23
Is that blood on his arm or a really really skintight glove?
April 16, 2014 11:02 p.m.
SwiftDeath says... #24
Dude I have so much chills from this right now. The was they are spoiling him is the same way they spoiled Jace, tMS and we all know how broken he is. He may not be as good but even if he isn't he is the one walker I have held the most hype for.

So on the mythic spoiler site, i clicked the source which was twitch, Apparently there was a lot secret coding and deciphering to get the spoiler, Using a code and saving as 2 different files and then opening another way and such.
GoldGhost012 - It the whole hand like that(dont know if its blood tho) at the end of the video of it, it'll show the full picture here is the link
April 16, 2014 11:13 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #26
The picture at the end of the video has his left hand holding a glove while his right is completely red. I'm going to go with blood.
April 16, 2014 11:17 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #27
I agree that it is blood. I am so excited for him!
April 16, 2014 11:20 p.m.
On a side note, has anyone figured out the "secret message" on guildgates yet?
April 16, 2014 11:24 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #29
So I did a little digging and it seems that he's had it for a while: 
CastleSiege, has his right hand always been red?
Anyway, here's his entire Conspiracy picture: 
All I can say is that that is one damn handsome man.

Blizzicane says... #31
This is why his hand is red:
"He was taken to prison to serve out his sentence, and part of that punishment was the torturous treatment that permanently stained his hand red, forever proclaiming him a thief."

This says that his arm was stained, whatever that means, on a plane called Alkabah. Probably not blood, if he's had it for a while. Probably would make more sense if I read the comics.

GoldGhost012 says... #33
How did I miss that? I read the article... Okay more like skimmed.
April 16, 2014 11:39 p.m.
These puzzle/piece-by-piece things are always nerve wracking. I'm guessing the -2 is gain control of target artifact and it might even be permanent (meaning duration).
I'm thinking that his ult has something to do with spells that target permanents you control but that's all I get from the wording so far.
April 16, 2014 11:55 p.m.
Rasta_Viking29 says... #35
Catch / Release has "Gain control of target permanen UEoT". Seems probable it's the 2nd ability.
April 17, 2014 12:34 a.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #37
He would be soo good as a 2-drop just from his plus 1. I think his minus ability will be to gain control of target non creature, non land permanent. that seems balanced and strong. his -6 I hope is insane
April 17, 2014 1:42 a.m.
So you get their planeswalker? That seems REALLY strong.
"I'll take your Sorin, Lord of Innistrad at 6 counters..."
April 17, 2014 1:49 a.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #39
lol. Yeah, I guess that is too strong, but maybe not, it depends on his cmc and loyalty
April 17, 2014 1:51 a.m.
CastleSiege says... #40
GoldGhost012 I only have #1 of the mini series and it doesn't show him without his gloves so I can't really tell. He does appear to use red magic though so he's definitely going to be UR.
April 17, 2014 1:53 a.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #41
Dack is confirmed U/R. Go here to see the complete card art. No loyalty counters, mana cost, or updated abilities yet though.
April 17, 2014 2:34 a.m.
its deffinetly not an until eot on the -2, which seems more likly to be artifact, or maybe tapped permanent. the space required for the text is way more than 1 line to included until eot.
April 17, 2014 11:13 a.m.
Azuleblood says... #44
I reckon he'll be Blue and Red and his +1 will be Faithless Looting and thats a Red associated ability also seen on Blue/Red cards - Izzet Charm and Desperate Ravings . As for his minus two I'm guessing it will be Metallic Mastery . However I have no idea what his emblem will provide! :) Looks cool, shame he won't be in Standard though :(
April 17, 2014 4:53 p.m.
Azuleblood says... #45
He's definitely Blue/Red as spoiled here http://www.mythicspoiler.com/cpy/cards/dackfayden.html
April 17, 2014 5 p.m.
He's either U/B, U/G, or U/R. We know this because if he was W/U (see Venser, the Sojourner ), the white would be on the left, but the blue is. If he is three colors (like Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker ) it will be all gold. From that, I think we can eliminate U/G, so U/B or U/R. I do think we know it's U/R, though.
April 17, 2014 5:15 p.m.
We also don't know the entire name of this guy (I think).
April 17, 2014 5:16 p.m.
On a quick note: Forcing an opponent to loot can be really useful at times.
I always wished Tibalts +1 could target someone else...
April 17, 2014 5:17 p.m.
-2: Confiscate
-6: you get an emblem with: whenever you cast a spell that targets a player, copy it(or could be draw a card too)
this will be my guess of his abilities
and all the working on the abilities point he is U/R, draw card, gaining control, and spells related U/R definately
April 17, 2014 5:42 p.m.
MagicalHacker says... #50
Lol, we caught him red handed.
And my opinion is this:
+1: Faithless Looting (since its also a card from the comic books.)
-2: Gain control of target artifact. (He's a thief, but Acquire is too strong as a second ability and too weak as a third.)
Blizzicane says... #2
Wait were is this information coming from???! :O
