You're my little scion.Īnyways, moving on to this Scion, it seems an impressive card. This isn't a dragon's car - it's the descendant or progeny - so, you're the scion of Nick, here. Nicky Jr, how did you get into the studio? Come over here.ĭwagon! I wanna dwagon! a Dwagon in a car! Moving on again, we're looking at Gold with the flying Scion of the Ur-Dragon.ĭwagons! I love Dwagons! Daddy, what's a Scion? It that a car? Indeed, Nick, it's an impressive ability, if it works the way we think it does. Permanents can't be phased out, taken out of the game with Ghostway, or otherwise evade the spell - and it cannot be countered.

A Terror with Split Second on it cannot be foiled by sacrificing the creature in response to being targeted - and a creature with a toughness pump can't be pumped up to avoid an X Burn spell that had Split Second on it. This seems more powerful than simply "cannot be countered" - it cannot be responded to in any way. " As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't play spells or activated abilities that aren't mana abilities." - so, basically, it says "cannot be countered", right? Our next card is Krosan Grip, which is our first look at a mechanic new for Time Spiral - Split Second. waitaminnit, you trying to say I'm stupid, or somethin? Well, given that it's Strangling Soot, I presume it's because you have to burn something to get more of it - which requires Red.Īnd in the metagame, it encourages allied multicolor decks with black and red, right, Johnny? Hey! How come the flashback cost is red? I mean, it's a Black spell, right? another favorite mechanic, Flashback, rises from the grave - or the grave yard, so to speak, on the Black card Strangling Soot. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna play four decks at once, though! Nick, you can only have four of any one card in a deck. Storm on a cheap Red burn spell? Sign me up for a dozen of these, Johnny! Anyways, continuing on, we have Grapeshot, and a return of a favorite mechanic, Storm. I think I liked the original "luckyman's paradise" a lot more, Johnny.

and just as many who think its disadvantages - having to go second, and having to remove a card from the game to get the card in play with a luck counter on it. There's been some controversy over this card, and its future is shrouded in mystery - there are those who see obvious potential in a possible turn-one omni-mana producing land, naturally. As you know, this is the card designed by Tsuyoshi Fujita, and voted into the a future set at the recent Magic Invitational. Well, first, Nick, we've got Gemstone Caverns. We'll take a look at the scant cards that have been revealed so far - on the Magic homepage, and through Scrye magazine - and contemplate what they might mean for the future. Yes, folks, it's that time again! Today we'll be discussing the new cards from Wizard's much-anticipated "Time Spiral" set.
