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 picsโฆ
โฆ but the official reveal season for Magicโs 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 letโs 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
โMother of god,โ notes u/IBains in the most upvoted comment in Ouroboroidโs reveal thread. โThatโs going to get out of hand quickly.โ
โThatโs disgusting in a Xenagos, God of revels deck since you can stack Xenagos to trigger first,โ 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.)
โYeah,โ u/zeldafan042 agrees, โMy Halana and Alena, Partners deck is salivating at this for the same reason.โ And fans of Final Fantasyโs 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 โStationโ (which, in case you havenโt seen it yet, was described in detail by WotCโs Matt Tabak in his Edge of Eternities Mechanics article yesterday). If itโs 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 โYouโre telling me a shrimp fried this rice?โ jokes arriving at your Commander table any time soon. Followed by a lot of Boston lobstah jokes, too!
Which will hopefully get (marginallyโฆ) 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 wonโt be a major mechanic in Edge of Eternities (Matt doesnโt 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 weโve just seen: Weftstalker Ardent, an Impact Tremors on a stick that also works with any artifact. Like, say, Munitions:
โThis is the weird ass non-combat-related Boros commander Iโve been looking for,โ celebrates u/theletterQfivetimes, with hundreds of upvoters agreeing. โAnd heโs a Lobster Citizen.โ
โWell, I found my first commander from EoE,โ agrees u/EcologyLover69. โIf this dude gets some wacky showcase art I will be stoked.โ
A wish to which Ragost repliedโฆ
โฆ โHold my beer.โ
Thrumming Hivepool
Ragost more than fulfilled Mark Rosewaterโs 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!).
Whatโs more: Markโs teaser just promised an EOE card that grants โanโ ability to Slivers. Turns out Thrumming Hivepool gives them two, double strike and haste. And spawns sliver tokens on top!
โI will find some way to make this work with the three Slivers that are legal in Standard, dammit,โ promises u/Nanosauromo, and they are definitely not alone. โThat sound you hear,โ says u/Tumerking, โis every sliver player in the world adding this card to their wishlist.โ
โYou could have removed any two of those lines of text, and sliver players still would have been excited for a pushed card,โ says u/hakumiogin.
Edge of Eternities will also reprint Sliver Overlord as a Special Guest (thatโs to say, the Overlord wonโt be Standard-legal):
The hype around the hive is high enough that itโs causing the first EOE-related price spike of older cards!
Cosmogoyf
โGoyfs are another very popular creature type in Magic. Markโs 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 โgoyfs 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.
โSerum Powder makes this a 7/8 right away,โ 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!
