I am kinda torn on the pyroclast consul, because my elemental deck seems to have trouble with multiple creature (swarm) aggro like goblins or elves and this would wipe the board, but unless I have two soul stokes out or another card in the set comes out that gives all your creatures protection from burn, it totally wipes all your creatures too if you play an elemental deck.
They did a cycle of elemental incarnations in lorwyn, and I dont see them making more. As much as I dont want to say it, but I think there will be maybe, 10-15 elementals in all colors combined in this new set. And flamekin will probably take up 5-8 plus whatever legendary flamekin is going to be in the set. So one more elemental in each color plus an extra one for blue with the examplar is what I am guessing.
I was just experimenting putting in blue in my R/B elemental deck and the supreme exemplar sealed the deal. Try to stop me now magus of the moat. HAHAHA.
I have played and beaten merfolk decks with my superfast aggro elemental deck and what merfolk decks need is a staller within 3 turns, 4 turns max. The moat would work, and does go with the colors if they arent playing monoblue merfolk. After the long term stall is put in place then start builiding your combo engine and never tap out, two untapped islands is scary. Its hard to make a combo start to go off when 2 nova chasers trample over on 4th turn. Its fun for the elemental player but not so much for the merfolk.
Legendry artifacts maybe? Although I doubt morningtide would have legendary artifacts, probably a set of rare artifacts if that is the case. Although also think it might be the Brighthearth. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/db3
I am going to start with my most outrageous idea, and it deals with the above picture. While looking at pictures of upcoming morningtide cards, what caught my attention was the dimentions of the above photo. It is too tall to fit in the art space of a regular card (excluding futuresight vanilla creatures and promos), half of the art would be cropped out, which I dont think the artist would really appreciate. My crazy thought is it is art for a new... planeswalker! I know planeswalkers are supposed to be almost godlike beings but think if a group of creatures collectively had the power of a planeswalker. There are three of them, planeswalkers have three abilities, coincidence? I think in my gut that there are not going to be planeswalkers in morningtide but you never know. Incase I am right (one in a million chance) I want it recorded.
Second I want an evoke elemental with direct damage, or an elemetal that isnt useless for direct damage (cough, flamekin spitfire, cough). Or a black draw elemental, I will suck up the damage that black draw would do but I dont want to splash blue for a mulldrifter. Also more champion! Am I the only one that likes it? But then again I want my novachaser to die on the attack while it smashes faces. I dont know if champion really works with the other tribes though. In that case more champions for elementals!
Lastly sorry if I put these ideas in the wrong spot.
Name: ???????? Cost: 1BBB
Creature elemental
When ???? comes into play, draw a card and lose 2 life. Methods that reduce, prevent or redirect damage cannot be used.
Evoke cost : BB
2/1
I think this works. Maybe add a colorless to the evoke cost but otherwise if you try to abuse it, it will abuse you right back.
edit : also I want an elemental that distroys lands that doesnt ask for your first born to evoke it. Looking at you faultgrider.
