Also, Ugin’s first (and only) card could kill Bolas,
so this is hardly a new development.
*faceplam*
You forgot the -X ability from the original Ugin, the Spirit Dragon card that can kill bolas if the minus amount is high enough
Um, that IS his first card. -

By those standards, Vraska or Ajani could one-shot Bolas,
so I wouldn’t read too much into it.

jshrwd posted a message on Vraska Planeswalker DeckPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Azurhawk »Tbh while I know these products are intended for new players, the first advice I'd give a new player would always be "don't buy these".
Which is a little bit sad.
I agree from the perspective that a person looking to play Magic seriously would regret this.
These products are great for my 8-year old or for people who want to have something around to play with once every few months. -

Except players that go to FNM aren't a majority. Most people that play Magic do so casually at their own kitchen tables. I don't know about you, but I started playing Magic against my friend on my bedroom floor with a pile of cards that would have been laughed out of an FNM. I had like 8 Thorn Elementals because I thought it was awesome and didn't even know how the card worked. Didn't matter to me, I still had a blast thinking Llanowar Elves let you search a Forest out of your deck.Quote from Colt47 »The starters should be playable and upgradeable. A starter product shouldn't be weak, it should be simple to play and use. Imagine a new player going to the store with this. The company wants the new player to get destroyed so they become angry and buy more cards just so they can win? It really is pitiful when it comes to products that are precons with wizards most of the time.
These decks are for those players. They don't care if a card is competitively viable. They just want to play with cards they think are sweet, like for instance... special Planeswalker cards. -

Rosy Dumplings posted a message on Commander 2018 reprint speculationscall of the wild will not appear because the deck is Esper instead of bantPosted in: Speculation
There will likewise be no momir vig, sylvan library, genesis hydra, or a ton of green mana doublers to enable silliness with garruk's horde, vizier of the menagerie, or similar effects.
Bit of a shame in my personal opinion as that seems to be the most consistent build for a "top card matters" deck. -

Also, is Bolas referencing the Primevals? Does the Elder Dragon War leave the plane open to domination by the Primevals?
.
I think this could definitely be the case.
"Although I am sure those dragons are not really like us and our siblings. We are the first, after all, and thus the most powerful."
similar to
"I am older than they are, greater. I have devoured stars and shattered worlds."
It could still be other dragons that have no bearing on the story but it would be cool to have a more clear idea of how the primevals and elders tie together.
The thing I find most interesting about the Primevals is how they become god-like together, but weaker apart. Not necessarily a tie-in to the 'teamwork' lessons in these stories, but it's interesting that the Primevals have that quality while the Elder Dragons don't. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

In the first story, it says Bolus is a runt so a 4/4 compared to a 6/6 would make sense. Now if they added a few lines to the story to accommodate a change from development could be possible.

That is how they were listed on Wizard's website and I assume are cards that do not have art or links loaded yet in gatherer.

The story states that the that the death of Merrevia sal "smells like honey. Its sweetness is its power, although these hunters don't know that yet."
I wonder if this power can change the hunters (whatever race they may have been) into the viashino. They have some power over dragons and seem to be a hunter type race.
Alos, I think it is strange that there are two elder dragons that did not hatch. This will come back in the story later. The impact of Bolas contemplating "'Which death is worse?' he asks. 'Never to waken, or to waken and live your few moments in a frenzy of fear and fighting?'" could have been accomplished with just one.

I wonder if Bolas' story will lead to more info on the "leviathan planeswalker" he eats and leaves at Talon gate. I think if they go over that story in more detail we will find out it was actually an eldrazi

Looks like all new cards and very underpowered. Of note it seems they are not designed as a duel deck but as two separate beginner's decks.

Wizards has some more info including possible card names and clear versions of the art.
Ancestor Dragon
Screeching Phoenix
Heavenly Qilin
