Edge of Eternities Leaks Showcase New Artifact Token and “Warped” Mechanic

So if there's a leak in a spacecraft, does it just kind of… sit there? You can't sink in space, right? Right?

WotC did a phenomenal job curbing leaks for Final Fantasy, but it seems someone put Edge of Eternities into hyperdrive and got their hands on a box of the set, which isn't supposed to release until August 1. Leaks are always a bit of a bummer, but once they're out there, well, there they are for everyone to see, so might as well discuss them. Nothing phenomenal was leaked yet, but there are a few new mechanics worth speculating on.

MTG's Latest Artifact Token

The images that surfaced show off what appears to be a couple Edge of Eternities Play boosters, taken in the typical “potato camera from the early 1950s” fashion that makes it just hard enough to read some of the cards. Gotta keep some of the mystery intact, right?

On top you'll notice a Simic uncommon (Biomechan Engineer, perhaps?), which shows us a new “Lander” artifact token, which also appears on another green uncommon in the second pic. These have the text: “, T, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it on the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.” So 3-mana Rampant Growth in tchotchke token form. That's a very green effect, but totally possible this goes the way of the Treasure token and appears across all colors. It's already known that landfall is a returning mechanic in EOE, so a condensed land-searching keyword makes a lot of sense.

Landers join the pantheon of Magic artifact tokens, alongside “evergreen” trinkets like Treasure, Food, Clues, and of course, Etherium Cells. Who could forget Etherium Cells? Maps for The Lost Caverns of Ixalan didn't make quite the splash, and Blood has yet to return from Crimson Vow, but Magic loves these sorts of tokens, since they fuel their intended strategies while also incidentally bolstering artifact and token synergies. Still waiting for Junk tokens to make their Standard debut, though….

Warp Speed

“Warp” is another named mechanic here. It appears on two cards in the pile of leaks, once in an ability that's templated as “Warp :”, and once on a card that references “warped” permanents you control in exile. Sounds a lot like a suspend mechanic of sorts, though there's just enough text cut off from the black card that it's unclear what the specific ability means. Either way, you'll be putting cards from your hand into exile foretell-style, and there will be effects that reference those “warped” cards.

This Close Encounter (of the Third Kind) card uses a warped creature you control to bite another creature, though it also just works as Master's Rebuke if you don't have anything in exile. If warped appears on larger creatures (think: suspend on Greater Gargadon or Atraxi Warden), seems like this should end up being a pretty potent removal spell.

All the Rest

Wizards has already officially spoiled spacecrafts, but we get another unintended look at a few here.

Uthros Scanship offers some card filtering when it enters, then becomes an Air Elemental once you've stationed it with 8 or more total power.

Rescue Skiff rebuys a creature or enchantment from the graveyard when it enters. It's an uncommon with a whopping 10 charge counter station cost, so there's probably a decent statline attached to this thing. Nice of the leaker to keep people on their toes.

And under that you'll notice an artifact creature named Virulent Silencer, which puts–*gulp*–poison counters on an opponent whenever you hit them with a non-token artifact creature. Don't get too riled up though, there's no proof of a fully supported poison mechanic in EOE, this could very well be a one-off like Fynn, the Fangbearer in Kaldheim or Persuasive Interrogators in Murders at Karlov Manor. That said, it's still rumored that proliferate‘s coming back in EOE. There aren't any leaks that confirm this, but the existence of charge counters on spacecrafts, and now poison counters on at least one card makes that even more believable.

Official preview season beings on July 8, where we'll see non-potato HD versions of the cards, and answer all our questions about warped, spacecrafts, proliferate, poison, and more!
