EOE Officially Reveals Slivers, a Space Lhurgoyf, and a Legendary Lobster

Edge of Eternities has been one of the most heavily leaked Magic sets in recent memory, with by some counts more than half of all the EOE rares already seen in unofficial, low-quality pics…

… but the official reveal season for Magic's foray into outer space finally started yesterday, so time to switch to high-quality images directly revealed by Wizards of the Coast!

There were quite a lot of such MTG cards shown yesterday, so let's check five of the most popular EOE cards including three that were (officially!) teased by Magic Head Designer Mark Rosewater last week: an Edge of Eternities card that grants an ability to Slivers, an Elemental Lhurgoyf, and a Legendary Lobster Citizen!

Ouroboroid

“Mother of god,” notes u/IBains in the most upvoted comment in Ouroboroid‘s reveal thread. “That's going to get out of hand quickly.”

“That's disgusting in a Xenagos, God of revels deck since you can stack Xenagos to trigger first,” says u/hallaa1.

(By the way, just in case that the Magic stack and triggered abilities are a bit confusing: If two of your creatures trigger at the same time, you get to choose which one happens first. So if you have Xenagos, God of Revels and Ouroboroid on the board, when combat starts you can choose to make Xenagos trigger resolve first, make your Ouroboroid huge, and then have Ouroboroid stack a massive number of +1/+1 counters on your whole board.)

“Yeah,” u/zeldafan042 agrees, “My Halana and Alena, Partners deck is salivating at this for the same reason.” And fans of Final Fantasy's Jenova, Ancient Calamity are pretty happy too!

Notice that this green plant wurm is effectively a 2/4 the turn you play it, and doubles in power every turn. And it buffs each creature you control.

And Ouroboroid will probably be a bomb in EOE Limited, no extra synergies needed. Edge of Eternities will bring a new mechanic called “Station” (which, in case you haven't seen it yet, was described in detail by WotC's Matt Tabak in his Edge of Eternities Mechanics article yesterday). If it's any indication of how EOE Limited will look, then Draft and Sealed games will tend to go long, since station is all about tapping your creatures to power up your even bigger artifact creatures, rather than attacking.

Ragost, Deft Gastronaut

Ragost is the Legendary Lobster Citizen that Mark Rosewater promised us. So get ready for the onslaught of “You're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?” jokes arriving at your Commander table any time soon. Followed by a lot of Boston lobstah jokes, too!

Which will hopefully get (marginally…) better when pairing Ragost, Deft Gastronaut with another card revealed yesterday: Weapons Manufacturing:

The burn player in me is crying lava-hot tears at very high likelihood that Munition tokens won't be a major mechanic in Edge of Eternities (Matt doesn't mention them  in his Edge of Eternities Mechanics article, while he does describe Lander tokens in detail, which makes it a fairly safe guess that Munitions are just a one-of for this card).

But, yeah, Ragost, Deft Gastronaut does let you eat Munitions for a super spicy breakfast. A breakfast that should get even hotter with yet another card we've just seen: Weftstalker Ardent, an Impact Tremors on a stick that also works with any artifact. Like, say, Munitions:

“This is the weird ass non-combat-related Boros commander I've been looking for,” celebrates u/theletterQfivetimes, with hundreds of upvoters agreeing. “And he's a Lobster Citizen.”

“Well, I found my first commander from EoE,” agrees u/EcologyLover69. “If this dude gets some wacky showcase art I will be stoked.”

A wish to which Ragost replied…

… “Hold my beer.”

Thrumming Hivepool

Ragost more than fulfilled Mark Rosewater's promise of a Lobster Citizen in Edge of Eternities, and it seems very clear that Thrumming Hivepool has done the same for all of the Sliver fans among you (which, turns out, are legion!).

What's more: Mark's teaser just promised an EOE card that grants “an” ability to Slivers. Turns out Thrumming Hivepool gives them two, double strike and haste. And spawns sliver tokens on top! 

“I will find some way to make this work with the three Slivers that are legal in Standard, dammit,” promises u/Nanosauromo, and they are definitely not alone. “That sound you hear,” says u/Tumerking, “is every sliver player in the world adding this card to their wishlist.”

“You could have removed any two of those lines of text, and sliver players still would have been excited for a pushed card,” says u/hakumiogin.

Edge of Eternities will also reprint Sliver Overlord as a Special Guest (that's to say, the Overlord won't be Standard-legal):

The hype around the hive is high enough that it's causing the first EOE-related price spike of older cards!

Cosmogoyf

‘Goyfs are another very popular creature type in Magic. Mark's teasers just said Edge of Eternities would have an Elemental Lhurgoyf, but it turns out there are further plot twists: Cosmogoyf is the first Lhurgoyf that cares about cards in exile, rather than either your graveyard or all graveyard.

It also only cares about the number of cards, rather than card types (as several other ‘goyfs do).

Magic has many, many ways to fill your exile zone. And EOE will include one brand-new mechanic that cares about exiling cards: Warp.

“Serum Powder makes this a 7/8 right away,” notes u/0Gitaxian0. And, in 60-card formats, if you find a second Powder copy after your mulligan you could chain them and potentially end up with a 14/15 or bigger.

Plus, the flavor text is just perfect!
