How does the finality counter work with Together Forever? It should still be exiled because of the wording right? Seems like a replacement effect. Or can I choose the order of the trigger effects when dying?
Edit: Yeah, I am certain that the creature would be exiled when dying... The finality reminder text starts with "If..." while the effect of Together Forever starts with "When...".
So wait, Spanish is an actual language within the fantasy world of Ixalan?
Yeah seems like that... As a spaniard myself I guess I would be a Torrezon (Dusk Legion continent) citizen than. Maybe a vampire... sounds okay I guess.
As a Spanish descended latino (my maternal surname is Álvarez) I don't mind the conquistadors being vampires. Actually it's a great flavor win if you think about what a vampire is and what they represent. And even though they are clearly bad guys, they are still really cool, though I hope they throw some pacifist/sympathetic vampires into the mix, just like not all spaniards who came to America were bloodthirsty murderers (the conquest wasn't just a military campaign, it was a mass migratory moveme t and people fromall walks of life came here). Finally, as a spanish speaker, the name Clavileño is kinda funny/awkward sounding, like clearly it was people who don't speak spanish who came up with that name.
The name Clavileño was used by Cervantes in his famous novel Don Quixote. So maybe they just took the name from there.
Eldraine looks nice. I didn't like it the first time, tho. Look at all those enchantments...
I wasn't counting with any angels in Eldraine or Ixalan so this is a surprise. And I see a male Angel in the background. The wings from the male one are only white/green while the female in the foreground has all three colors (red/green/white) I don't know if that means something.
Moonshaker Cavalry seems worse than Craterhoof Behemoth in a lot of cases. The latter does at least something if you don't have a big board by providing at least a 6/6 body with trample thanks to haste and his own ETB. The Cavalry will just sit around as a 6/6 flyer unable to impact the board or make use of its effect unless you have a way to give the thing haste which makes it more dependent on other cards. Saying that, if you can build a board of tokens then the new card looks ridiculous. But it is slower than the green version which has basically one additional body, ways to cheat it out, or ramp. I like the Heavenly Blademaster approach more for the mana cost and the persisting bonus even if it requires more build around.
wow, love the profile version of Gisela. I wished we would get more version of her in those colors, like we have 4 different Sigardas. A shame she got destroyed the second time we could see her.
Maybe a protection option with upsides for Shalai and Hallar the decks is already doubling on +1/+1 counters and runs some other counter synergies.
Edit: Oh and some combo potential with the likelink counter if you don't want to run Heliod, Sun-Crowned or run multiple combos that does the same. With for example Archangel of Thune or Cleric Class.
I like it. You can trigger him by yourself on your turn, too. And the cost is low, too. Combine him with token doubling stuff in white, some of white treasure enchantments and X spells in black.

Oh on the standard artwork we can see two of those new ixalan angels. I'm excited to see what they are about.

We already saw artwork from the set showing Ashiok. On the official page for the set you can see Ashiok on a booster.
