Nice selection of spoilers. The Mox will surely be a hot card in Vintage and the name tag and mythic rarity will make this a chase card for sure.
As an artifact nerd, I have to say that these spoilers are pretty exciting to see. Thanks for posting them.
From a Singleton perspective- both Planeswalkers have me excited! The Mox, Elspeth and Memnite are all interesting constructed cards… I want this set to come out so I can start thinking about Standard!
I wonder how good a 0 mana 1/1 is. Probably not good enough, but it’s very interesting that they’re trying a 0-mana creature that’s not 0/x.
Venser and Elspeth will definitely be awesome cards, but as for the mox I’m not sure it’ll be Vintage playable. I have played plenty of Vintage games where I didn’t have 3 mox or arties out on the battlefield making the mox a dead card. It’ll definitely be good in an affinity deck though. If it wasn’t Legendary I would consider using it in Vintage since 4 of those + 5 mox + lotus + petal = at least 11 artifacts a good chance of getting 3, but sadly its not
oh well.
@KillerOwen Mox derp counts itself for the metalcraft activation, so you really only need two other artifacts. Between having a few artifact lands, playing the original moxen and possibly diamond or chrome, lotus, sol ring and perhaps a few other cheap artifacts, it seems it could be cast with relative ease. The fact that it’s legendary is just lazy design though.
Thank you so much for the spoilers. Look seeing the text with a picture of it as well.
@ Cody: The Vintage decks I play don’t run any chrome since they are week compared to the power, and I never use any artifact lands unless I’m running like Tezz. Mox might be a 1 of but I wouldn’t be going crazy for it. In Vintage you want to play your artifacts and be able to use them right away Opal won’t guarantee that. I expect some decks to run it especial decks like MUD, but I will hold off for now.
T1 – Memnite, Orinthopter, Mox, plains, Steel Overseer. Seems good.
Elspeth looks ridiculous.
Best of luck!I really hope you are able to tlcake this series, provide the numerous MTGOers out there in your same shoes with a sense of shared experience (valuable in overcoming the frustration) *and* meet your goals.
