More thought's on Gate Crash



Sooooo today we will be talking on Dimir and Orzhoz

Dimir, known as the unseen guild or the Tenth Guild.
It was run by a vampire named Szadek however now it is the new guild leader for the guild is Lazav a shapeshifter mage. 
The guild actually does not exist, as the Ravnican people generally believe that there are only nine guilds and never had a tenth, as it dissolved thousands of years ago. The name Dimir is not know to a lot of people and those that do know about it, believe that it is just a myth used to scare children and be in children's story or a parnoid conspiracy theory. 
The weird part of all of those things is that those story's and making people believes is done by the Dimir themselves as a method for avoiding suspicion. 

The Dimir are like the secret agent in Ravnica, They will do their job of given to them and they would leave no trace about their job once they done it. They also make sure they to destroy all the memories of their witness of their crimes and even going so far to eliminate their own memories of their job 
Now about the guild master who is Lazav, the Dimir Mastermind, he is a shape-shifting mage who serves as the nexus of telepathic impressions of the entire Dimir Network. He is a thing i guess no one know what type is he too, no one knows whether is he a he,she or it? 
Lazav can shape-shifts into a variety of guises as to his needs and plans. 
Some of the Dimir agents believe that Lazav have a plots against Niv-Mizzet to discern the Dragon's hidden endgame and twist it for his own purposes

Now we will be doing the usual talk about the guildmage and the keyrune abilities, as you know Dimir is a B/U color guild :)

The guild mage might have ability to bounce creatures back to owner hand like how blue creatures and spells does while it other ability might be milling your opponent like how the Dimir used to if they still have milling type ability :D
While the keyrune it would have deathtouch like the black creatures does and flying due to the wing type design on it side :D














Now on to the Orzhoz,
The guild beliefs that wealth is power, that structure breeds wealth, and that guilt creates structure. The guilds is run with a combination of religion, credit lending agency and a crime syndicate. The guild is run by an ostentatious hierarchy of priests, enforcers, and ghostly councilors, many of the orzhov guild members believe that their rule is necessary for making Ravnica the best it can be, when the their rule are using unscrupulous ways to seize power. Most Ravnicans see that the Orzhov are a corrupted organization, however many are lured in by their promises of wealth, prestige and longevity.


The Orzhoz guild is now ruled by the Obzedat, who are a council of ghostly autocrats, who maintained their wealth and power even when they no longer have their mortal forms. Members of the Orzhov are able to cheat mortality, maintaining their consciousness and their greed beyond the threshold of death. The Orzhov people are paranoid and spiteful dictators. They often going out of their way to thwart ambitious underlings. They would crush people who spread rumors about them and also spy on potential enemies. The Obzedat rarely speak directly with those outside the guild. They would rather communicate through their offcial envoy, Teysa Karlov

Now we shall go to thinking about the Orzhov keyrune and guildmage ability

Orzhov is a W/B guild,



So its keyrune is either going to be a spirit or a human and it is most likely going to have life-link or death touch.
Orzhov Guildmage - Gatecrash Art






While for it's guildmage it is easy to think of her ability just by the color of the guild.
Her 1st ability would most likely be giving creature to have life-link
while the second ability would most likely be making the creature have -1/-1 until end of the turns.

Gate Crash Spoiler's



Right here we have a few of the latest most likely to be true cards to come out in the Gate Crash Set and all these cards are mythic rare!!! So lets take a look!

Firstly we have the huge mythic dragon Hellkite Tyrant 6/5 that is a 4 colorless mana + 2 red mana creature casting cost and like in most set have the huge dragons, this is most likely going to be in a edh deck since in edh there are many people who play artifacts and with this you can most likely win the game easily.

Secondly we have this, Enter the infinite a 8 colorless mana + 4 blue mana sorcery to get your whole library in your hand and having no maximum hand size until your next turn. So this card is most likely to be in a EDH deck unless some crazy dude decide to play a U/G standard deck with boundless realms and omniscience and this card and wins the game. Or a U/G Deck with boundless realms, this and labtory manic.

Next we have the Boros Guildleader
Aurelia, the Warleader, A 2 colourless mana + 2 Red and 2 white mana for a 3/4 flying, vigilance, haste
First though on this card was WHAT A 6 MANA COST FOR A 3/4 Only? but when you actually read her abilities you would understand why. Her ability is just simply crazy. Once you cast her out, easily you can win the game if you have lots of creature on the battlefield. You are able to swing not once but twice when you have her on the field how is that not AMAZING AND SICK?!
However if want to have full protection on the field and attack at the same time you can just do the same!
As you could just attack your opponent during the first combat phrase and when you untap all of the creatures you used to attack during the first battle phrase you can skip the second battle phrase and go to the second main phrase with all of your creatures untap!

After her we have the Boros "Guildleader"
Borborygmos Enraged. He is a huge 7/6 with trample creature that cost 4 colorless mana + 2 red and 2 green mana to cast. Although he is a huge creature, but due to the casting cost he is most likely not going to be in standard but in EDH. His effects at first does not seem that interesting however if you combo him with cryptborn horror you can easily get a 15/15 or more creature on the field in one turn just by throwing a whole lot of land cards! and easily kill your opponent  in a few turn. and you never need to worry not having a land card in your hand to discard as whenever he attacks you are able to reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and take all the land cards reveal this way into your hands and the others in the graveyard .

Lastly for the the current spoiler we have a planeswalker that has the guurl colour.
Domri Rade a 1 colorless mana+ 1 red and 1 green mana cost planeswalker, with a 3 loyalty counter when entering the battlefield. He is actually a so-so planeswalker. His first ability is good but the second is meh and the last is hard to be done.
+1 ability allows you to see the top card and if it is a creature you may reveal it and put it into your hand
and his second ability
-2 ability allows you to kill your opponents small creatures or flying creatures that you cannot deal with by using your bigger creature you have on the battlefield to do the job but there are already many green cards and creature that allows you to do so, so you are not actually going to want to do that...
and his last ability
-7 gives you a emblem that is mostly likely going to let you win the game in one turn just the fact that it gives you a emblem that allows all of your creatures to have double strike, trample, hexproof and haste...
However just the fact that you need to wait 5 turns till you get emblem, it is going to be hard as people are most likely not going to let him stay in the battlefield long enough for that to happen.

So in summary he is going to be a so-so planeswalker and people are most likely going to call him out for his 1st and last ability and not the second one just because it would be a waste of his loyalty counter... (my thoughts!)



So leave a comment in this post below telling me what do you think about them?

THE SHOCK LANDS

Today instead of posting my thoughts on the other 2 guild stuff, I decide to post these pictures of the shock lands I found online, they had no names for the lands so for some it is kind of hard to know which guild colour they belong to
So here are the pictures

Shockland 01 - Gatecrash Art

B/U Dimir

Shockland 02 - Gatecrash Art

I would see this land is R/G Boros


Shockland 03 - Gatecrash Art

W/R Boros

Shockland 04 - Gatecrash Art

B/W Orzhoz

Shockland 05 - Gatecrash Art

G/U Simic

Thoughts on the other guilds

So Today we will be talking about Gruul and Simic, Gruul, the guild that does not have a guild leader, even though I said in the previous post that Borborygmos was guurl guild leader, however he is not the official guild leader of the Gruul. As the Gruul is a guild that lack of leadership and has a loose affilation of clans. However when Borborygmos were to give a command the Gruul would listen, as his orders are due to the rage of the abused guild

[Borborygmos- a Cyclops and is one of the largest and most angry clan leader ]
Borborygmos - Gatecrash Art


Gruul Guildmage - Gatecrash Art


Lets now talk more about its 'main' stuff such as the keyrune and the guild mage, so as Gruul is G/R its keyrune creature colour would be these colour while for its creature type it is most likely a beast due to the look on the keyrune and while for its another ability it might have trample,
While for the guild mage power, since Gruul is all about destruction and chaos like the rakdos, its ability would most likely be some how related to destruction or making creatures bigger so that more chaos can be created and also maybe able to make creatures weaker for the same reason as making the Gruul creatures bigger?
Gruul Charm - Gatecrash Artand there is the charm too which is would have 3 abilities like the ones in Return To Ravnica, and I would say its abilities are
1. Giving creatures to have haste
2. Deal __ damage to creature
3. Creature get +?/+? until end of the turn











Gruul Guildgate - Gatecrash ArtHere we have a art of its guild gate which i never posted











Gruul Guild Letter - Gatecrash Art


and the guild letter with their own languages























Now about Simic, they are a group of scientist, like the izzet however they are not as mad as the izzet are loving to blow up stuff, they are a group of scientist that wants to preserve the original eco system of Ravnica and let nature advance to a next level.
Zegana - Gatecrash Art

The current guild leader of this guild is Zegana,
she is a Merfolk.

Simic Guildgate - Gatecrash Art
[ Welcome to the Simic ]

Now about Simic stuff

Simic Guildmage - Gatecrash Art

Simic is a U/G type of guild, and so its keyrune would also be the same colour, however from the due to the fact that it is U/G type creature its hard to guess what type is it going to be, it might either be a beast or merfolk? while for its another ability it is actually hard to guess maybe it's just going to get a flying ability?
Than for its Guild Mage, I would say it will have the ability to draw cards like how blue does and also allows you to put +1/+1 counters on creatures like green does :)

and Right here it is the end of this part :) !!! thanks for reading :) if you have any other ideas and thoughts leave a comment below this post :)

More news on Gate Crash


[ image taken from google images]
From what I had research on, this are mostly what the art will look like for Dimir guildmage and Dimir keyrune and they look sick!

[ All 4 images above are taken from google image ]
These are the other keyrunes of the other guild and they all look sick! especially with the back ground of their following guild area images!

Now here are the following other 4 guild mage I had not listed :)

 Boros Guildmage - Gatecrash Art
BOROS!


Gruul Guildmage - Gatecrash Art
GRUUL!

Simic Guildmage - Gatecrash Art

[Photos taken from http://www.magicspoiler.com]

So enough of this amazing photos and lets discuss about their effects :) so this post will be in 3 parts
each one i would either cover 1 / 2 guilds
So today since this is already a long post I might as well cover just 1 :)

So today we will be covering on Boros,

Firstly Boros is a about righteous and authority, they are a guild that has troops and army, they fight for the right stuff and they are some how like the Azorius they believe in justice.
So, from this keyrune image itself, it most likely shows a W/R Solider with maybe flying since most of them are angels? or even first strike?
Boros Guildmage - Gatecrash Art

while the guild mage ability I can't really see what is it from the photo itself, but since it has red one of its ability would most likely be about dealing damage to creature

This are just some of my thoughts, so I might be wrong or I might be right who knows?
so if you have your own thought about my thoughts or the guild mage and keyrune leave a comment on this post telling me it :)

Sunday 11 November 2012

Let's Discuss

Today we shall talk a little about Gate Crash, which guild do you think we be like the best for pre-release?
For Return To Ravnica, at my local shop pre-release we were all shock when Selesnya was one of the best pre- release guild due to the fact no one knew how to use its mechanism till the games start and the selesyna guild members slowly one by one trashes us all :(
So for Gate Crash, I think the best guild might be either guurl? or Simic? who knows we shall slowly await for its news to come out and slowly await for each of the other guilds new mechanism :)
Currently for standard wise I fell that Dimir is going to be very very strong as their old mechanism was transumute and It allows you to pay mana, discard a card and search for cards that either has a lower mana cost or has the same mana cost. Hopefully this time its mechanism will be as amazing as the old one is :D 

Alright that's about it :) not very sure what else to talk about gatecrash I will look up for my news on it and post it on this blog so stay tuned guys! :D
Also leave a comment on which guild would you be definitely supporting for gate crash?

HI I HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL!?

Hi guys :D whoever is reading this blog post, today while i was cleaning my house with my family i mange to find some pokemon cards that worth quite a lot and since I do not play pokemon nor my brother do anymore we decide to either sell it :D or trade for MTG stuff :) so if you are interested in them hope over to this video link and see what I got :D
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XL65wrIyQ&feature=plcp
Also i need help on ideas on what do upload on my channel as I do not have much stuff now to upload on it 
D:
So if you happen to have any idea leave a comment below on this post :) 
also thanks for reading this blog :)

New Deck Ideas

I have a idea for a mono red deck. The budget for the deck is cheap and it is simple to play.
It is a agro deck ( like duh, its red?) and the source to win the game with this deck is to just swing with everything you have each turn :D 


So here is the deck list of the deck :D
________________________________________________________________________
The Decks runs with 24 creatures,

4 Vexing Devils
4 Ash Zealot
2 Cryptborn Horror 
3 Hellrider
4 Stonewright
4 Rakdos Cackler 
4 Rakdos Shred Freak

10 Instants,

4 Brimstone vally
4 Searing Spear
2 Annihilating Fire 

4 Sorcery,

4 Pillar of Flame 

and 21 lands

21 Mountain 
________________________________________________________________________

The cost of this deck is very low and it is actually very competitive :D the most expensive card in the deck itself would be Vexing Devils, other than that all the other cards can be get easily.

Leave a comment below on this post telling me what do you think of the deck? 
and also maybe telling me what can be remove and replace with?
