  • posted a message on Lore speculation on Ulalek. (The MH3 face commander of “Eldrazi Incursion”)
    Well……………

    the card leaked…………

    what it called……


    Ulalek,………





    FUSED ATROCITY!!!!!!!

    ULADEK IS ULAMOG AND KOZILEK FUSED AS ONE!!!

    I got a huge hunch this is after the events of BFZ and Killing them can cause eldrazi titans to reincarnate as one.

  • posted a message on Leak of some Modern Horizon 3 Commander cards




    the bad picture leakers have returned again but we got some Modern horizons 3 we get too see some MHC commanders

    here's what i can make out


    Disa the Restless ?BRG

    Legendary creature — Human Soldier

    Whenver a Lhurgoyf is put into the graveyard from anyway other than the battlefield, put it onto the battlefield

    Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player create a Tarmogoyf token

    THAT'S.........RIGHT! the face commander of the jund deck......is lhurgoyf typal/kindred so the goal is to load the graveyard with as much typing as possible for the Lhurgoyfs to be one hit wonder sized.


    Ulalek, Fused Atrocity could be C)

    Legendary creature — Eldrazi

    Devoid (this spell is Colorless)

    Whenever you cast a Eldrazi spell you may pay CC if you do Copy all spell you control, then copy all other Activated and Trigger abilities you control, you may choose new targets for the copies, (mana abilities can't be copied)

    2/5


    So the lore answer is Ulamog and Kozielk pretty much did the Brisela, Voice of Nightmares on themselves turning into This, (i got a enormous hunch this has something to do with Chandra's fireworks she did to them bonded to the leylines during BFZ)

    So this is end of the wait for Eldrazi Typal/Kindred even though Zhulodok, Void Gorger/Kozilek, the great distortion, or/and Morophon, the boundless did a good job with that archtype.

    basically you pay a kicker of CC for all eldrazi spells its like doing all three of litHofoRmEnGinE fat the same time for those eldrazi spells (im talking as if there was a kindred/tribal spell on the stack as well as a creature)

    Omo. Queen of Vesuva 2GU

    Legendary Creature — Shapeshifter Noble

    Whenever Omo Queen of vesuva eneters the battlefield or attacks, you may put an everything counter on up to one target land and one target creature

    Each land you control is every basic land type in addition to its types

    Each creature you control with a Everything counter on it is all creature types in a addtion to its types (aka, it gains "changeling")

    1/5


    So Omo gives a counters version of Rootpath Purifier and Amoeboid Changeling so this is "Domain" and Lord effects matter deck.

    the profile picture is Satya but all i can make out is his card has a attack trigger probably making E counters

    and the card next to him might be the box promo and that might be another red elemental blast type of spell



    *NAME* the Undertaker 1BRG

    Legendary Creature — Human Warrior

    ~ gets +X/+0, where X is the greatest power among creature cards in your graveyard. Whenver ~ attacks each player mills a card. During each of your turns, you may play a creature card from among cards put into the graveyard from anywhere this turn.

    0/5


    So the side commander is Jund graveyard theft and forced mill is interesting and you want fatties in your graveyard.

    Jyoti,Moag Ancient 2GU

    Legendary creature — Elemental

    When ~ Eneters the Battlefield, create a 1/1 green Forest Dryad land creature token (a Dryad Arbor token) for each time you've cast your commander from the command zone this gam.

    At the beginning of each combat, land creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, Where X is its power

    2/4


    Alright Man land matters we've gotten a couple but this is the most focused one yet.

    Unfortunatly i can't make out the Side commandre for the eldrazi's at all

    the one and only thing i got is that it has a WUBRG activated ability


    These are all New cards for the eldrazi deck

    Middle top

    Creature — Eldrazi

    Whenever you attack Choose Odds or Even, Creatures with mana value that either Odd or even, can't block

    Other Colorless creatures you control have Bloodthirst 3

    8/6


    The card on the Left thats 2CC is a Colorless "Confluence" spell the only one i can make out and it makes a spawn/scion token that sacs for C

    Spawnbed Protector

    Creature — Eldrazi

    At the Beginning of your end step, return up to one eldrazi creature card from your graveyard to you hand, Create two 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature tokens. They have “Sacrifice this creature: Add C.”

    6/8


    Inversion Behemoth 2CC

    Creature — Eldrazi

    At the begining of combat on your turn. Switch the power and Toughness of each of any number of creatures, until end of turn.


    Ulamog's Dreadshire

    Creature — Eldrazi

    Viligence

    Ward — Sacrifice a Permanent with mana value 1 or greater

    t: Create a 10/10 Eldrazi Creature token

    10/10


    Eldritch Immunity

    Kindred Instant — Eldrazi (Before you ask This is the new type for "Tribal" and it was announced here

    Target Creature Gains Protection from each color until end of turn

    Overload 4C

    I know what they said - but its one thing to get inspirated from "modern" horror and another to have characters wear real world clothes and let them use strange tech devices. Its so out of place in MtG... I mean there always was some weird stuff going on (Phyrexia, the Weatherlight etc). But this time they didnt even try to make it feel fantasy-like. They give a damn... They just drop random stuff in the sets. Its a shame imo.

    This set will be horrible in sense of MtG flavor and we should realy be worried about that strange racing car set -.-
    (again: i know there are people who love all that)

    Quote from Ryperior74 »
    And more importnatly finally return to Yoshimura, Ever Faithful
    Highly agree. The best good boy in the multiverse <3


    Nope, still not agreeing with that point of view. Fantasy is an extremely wide reaching genre, and I don't quite get why people are getting regularly angry about more modern technologies or modern looking clothes as "not fantasy enough". Are medieval knight armors also not fantasy enough if they look like their real world counterparts? Aren't the depictions of farmers or any kind of job that also existed/exist in real life not equally dubious when it comes to "being fantasy"? Because if so, then medieval fantasy (which is what most people think of when it comes to fantasy) would have the very same problem as the more modern, even science fiction adjacent fantasy worlds, but strangely enough people don't see it that way.
    As I said when Neon Dynasty came out, what makes Magic unique is the wildly divergent forms of fantasy worlds that are part of the multiverse. The one defining trait that needs to remain constant is that magic is present and used as a resource, which has been true even for the most industrious and sci-fi worlds like Kaladesh and Kamigawa.
    Phyrexians, the Thrawn, the Brother's war tech, Kaladesh, Kamigawa, even Ravnica and similar worlds are not "weird", but part of the overall variety in MtG from the start. Taking that away would leave it more generic and in danger of actually dying out in my opinion.

    That said, I don't even think Duskmourn will be THAT high tech. After all, it's basically just a mansion (the outside not being explored in the set, if there is one). I do hope it is not just slasher movies that it will take inspiration from. The Thing from Another World, Alien (maybe Fomori related or translated into some form of eldritch abomination?), body horror in general is something that has become way more popular in modern horror, and I would like to see that too.


    Personally I definitely agree with you with this subject

    well For modern horror from,the very first picture shown in “magic presents” safe to assume one modern horror is a magic equivalent of “the mothman”

    I was hoping they'd do an Ugin


    Don’t give up yet

    he Could be in the set anyway as either a colorless playable walker or colorless playable walker loopholed to 5-color (lore indicates he knows how to do all 5-colors of magic but prefers/mostly colorless.)

    after all eldrazi typal/archtype seems to be the big focus for the set.

    since it's "the" ulalek I bet it's some kind of eldrazi cult



    I don’t know, the face commander is literally a eldrazi and the deck description is making a bunch of spawns and scions to ramp into the big eldrazi

  • posted a message on Lore speculation on Ulalek. (The MH3 face commander of “Eldrazi Incursion”)
    Now before you debate the legends name source is from this (also could be seen on Amazon/Target pages of the deck)

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wizards-of-the-coast-magic-the-gathering-modern-horizons-3-commander-deck-eldrazi-incursion/6577594.p?skuId=6577594

    Offer yourself to the Ulalek and release a mind-melting horde of hungry Eldrazi to devour all in your path with a deck that’s ready to play right out of the box.


    What could be the lore to this eldrazi? Because right off the bat it has it's name incorporate from “Ulamog” and “kozilek”. Plus you do notice that the face commander does have the traits of both Ulamog and kozilek spawns (kozilek, spawns have the floating obsidian crowns and eyes on body, and Ulamog spawns have a huge muscles and bone structure you see that on the head and body.)

    Now I have one theory in mind

    if We go back to ugins comparison on them

    The spirit dragon Ugin compared this to a man sticking his hand into a pool of water; the man being the Eldrazi titan and the water a plane. The fish—those who dwell on the plane—see only a part of the man—his hand. Likewise, the inhabitants of a plane can see only a part of each titan. Even if the lesser Eldrazi appear to be independent beings, their physical forms are just part of a greater entity outside the plane; they are all just part of the titan that made them.


    now this sound tin foil level but bare in mind with me


    Could have Ulamog and kozilek were famous broods all along and “Ulalek” is the real Titan?

    but that’s a little crazy though I mean after all “Ulalek” could be a brood made with powers combined from Ulamog and kozilek, or “Ulalek” is just a reincarnation of Ulamog and kozilek as one, just like Bruna and Gisela becoming Brisela, Voice of Nightmares

  • posted a message on Turns out in Descriptions of the modern horizon 3 commander decks we get names of the face commanders
    When you look at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and other store description for the decks you find the names of the legends including a brief description on what the decks do

    BRG
    NO REST FOR THE RESTLESS—Fill your graveyard, then let the fallen fuel your counterattack and watch your foes run with this relentless Black-Red-Green deck

    Join Disa, an explorer from Domnaria's Ice age, aand crush your foes in epic Mutiplayer battles with a Black-Red-Green deck that's ready to play right out of the box.


    So Turns out she’s none other than “Disa the Restless” you see her story’s in flavor texts of cards of like Balduvian Bears, Illusionary Terrain, and Kjeldoran Frostbeast

    so it could be a dies triggers and Unearth like thing so maybe a Jund version of Alesha, Who Smiles at Death like deck.

    GU
    SOW THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION—Ramp up with Lands, Then send your mightiest monsters out swinging with this deadly Green-Blue deck

    join Omo, Queen of Vesuva, and maximize every land you play for killer value with a Green-Blue deck that's ready to play right out of the box


    so she is infact the queen of Vesuva mentioned on helm of the host flavor text her name is specifically “Omo” and play

    oh crud it sounds like a reboot of Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait deck but with a fatties matter thing (I’m still pretty clone's matters will end up as a be a sub theme)

    URW -
    BECOME AN ARCHITECT OF DESTRUCTION—Crank up the kill-o-watts and generate energy counters for powerful payoffs with this supercharged Blue-Red-White deck

    Join the eccentric architect and inventor, Satya, to charge forward and overpower the board with a Blue-Red-White deck that's ready to play right out of the box


    “Satya” is the name as an architect and inventor based on the arm piece he’s from kaladesh but I still think the fallout “science!” Precon was a prep/foreshadow of this one

    WUBRGC
    BRING THE PAIN TO ANY PLANE-Ramp from small Eldrazi spawns and scions up to towering monsters and devour all in your paths

    offer yourself to the Ulalek and release a mind-melting horde of hungry Eldrazi to devour all in your path with a deck that's ready to play right out of the box


    that’s right…… the legends name is “Ulalek” (Ula-lek) so this legends lore sounds like it’s one of two things

    1. This is a reincarnation of Ulamog and Kozilek as one.
    2. Before their deaths Ulamog and Kozilek combined their powers to create this Frankenstein famous brood from both their powers


    and the theme looks like serve Spawn and Scion token making so you can ramp to the big ones. So clearly a bunch of token makers (plus reprints) and clearly new ones will involve filtering C to WUBRG mana (only if you sac a spawn or scion)

    GUYS!!!

    there was a further inspection thing on the Amazon pages of each commander deck.

    IT GIVES THE NAMES OF THE FACE COMMANDERS!

    BRG — she’s none other than “Disa the restless” from these flavor text here’s 10



    GU — yep she’s is infact the flavor text of Helm of the Host “queen of the Vesuva” but to be specific her name is “Omo” so “Omo, Queen of Vesuva”

    URW - no flavor text from Kaladesh but this face commanders name is Satya, some kind of inventor and architect

    WUBRGC — welp this one is last and as for the name this might potentially be a bomb shell……… how do you feel about the legend being named………… “Ulalek”……… what does this mean? Is this a reincarnation of Ulamog and kozilek as one? Or a brood they both worked together to create.

    edit: one clue could be brisela, voice of nightmares (Br-isela) so maybe Emrakul was working on bringing back Ulamog and kozilek as a reincarnation since innistrad is even less ready for the eldrazi gift.

    For commander, you can't play these in the 99 of your monocolor decks, can you?


    no they can't go in monocolor decks color ID is indicated by both sides

    westvale Abby is a black ID card for example

    Quote from Lectrys »
    Assuming the cards are real (that still doesn't look like Ral Zarek), Ral, Monsoon Mage has an immediate home in the scant few remaining Modern UR Storm builds (sadly, this Ral can't also be your starting engine because he needs at least 6 instants/sorceries in the same turn in order to flip profitably), and the rest...yeah, I can't figure it out, sorry. BG Yawgmoth wants the immediacy of the first Grist...


    Facepalm

    I see you forgot this is them way way younger than we always seen them.

    When I first heard of Duskmourn, I thought: Nice, an Horror Set, where the whole plane is some kind of wicked manor... awesome. And I still think, that Duskmourn could be an amazing set... but I absolutely hate the design choices.

    Is this goddamn Prince? Are those some Ghostbuster-kind of devices? For real? Futuristic Kamigawa was already hard enough, but now this?
    I know, this is absolutely personal and there will be enough people who like that kind of stuff. But for me this is just ridiculous.



    they said dus ours is based on “Modern horror” 1970/1980

    so the horror will be in line with

    “Halloween”
    “Friday the 13th”
    “Nightmare on elm street”
    “Poltergeist”
    “Chucky”
    Maybe even “it”

    And probably other mythical horror too since clearly the first picture shown on duskmourn is easily based on “the Mothman”

    back on topic safe bet the wanderer won’t be with kaito this time despite those two being best friends to each-other since she’s finally sparkless and is able to stay at her throne. And more importnatly finally return to Yoshimura, Ever Faithful

    For a recap they confirmed in modern horizons 3 that they are doing a second flipwalker cycle from origins Ajani was one Tamiyo was another not shown…… until now potentially and the other three

    Which might turned out to be Sorin, Ral Zarek, and Grist. (You remember grist from MH2)

    please take with grain of salt if these are fake the thread will be deleted
