Shards of Alara Cards

Ok, some cards have already leaked out. Many of them in non-english editions. Yet, I present you the ones I've found so far:

3 more cards and a token. BEHOLD!!!

today's prewiew's are a comon and a mythic rare,
side info: there will be 15 mythic rares in the set, the 4 walkers + 1st preview Hellkite Overlord + Sphinx Sovereign + ...

Ok, 15 instead of 4 or 5 as commented previously by me.

I like that Nacatl. The Sphinx... Shame it requires 3 colours of the mana pie. Otherwise I'd use it in a deck, if I ever caught it.

side info: "Shards of Alara is the first set in the Shards of Alara block. It is a 249 card expansion..."

today's prewiew cards:
remember me talking about 3 mana type lands? there will be one of each for each shard's colour pie combination



"go fetch!"


and

Yeah. Although if that's what they come up with, let me go to the toilet and puke. Damn, that cards is a copy of previous things. LOL!!! Nothing innovative in there. Just more powerful than the Dragon Lairs in Invasion (only 1 drawback when the Lairs had 2) and more powerful than the dual lands of Tempest and Invasion, which only produced 2 colours of mana.
I still don't envision myself playing 3 coloured decks, I fear. Other than my Dredge deck, that is.

Despite my personal taste for deck-building, I believe that that Lizard is good! 3 mana for a 3/3 creature that once dead comes up as 3 1/1 creatures? Cool!!! It dies during combat, I sacrifice it before damage is done (stack usage) to do some sick ability and still get the tokens. Nham!

I still believe that the game is suffering from "extensive power creep".

don't you just love specters? I do!!!



the lairs had a much biger drawback, you had to return a land to your hand,
notice this one doesn't have in it's name any reference to the Shard, so it will leave space to be reprinted in core set

yesterdays...


and todays...
the premium foil rare from the Naya intro pack:


be afraid, be very afraid...

Ok... GR decks that play Where Ancients Tread and Kavu Lair will be a blast... Now that's an idea for a deck!

what about this blue

white knight what?

That knight is interesting. I dislike the artifacts though. I've never been one to play artifact-decks.

me either, but since it combines so much BU I'm feeling for it this time

LOL! You and U.

ok, I've been tapping a lot of but this Vampire is as as one can be without giving your soul do Satan himself, and I can't wait to get my hand's on a couple of them;
since at wizards they just love cycles we can be sure to see one of these Charms for every shard colour pie

check out this week's "The Magic Show" by Evan Erwin for some very hot spoilers from Shards of Alara,
info: many of the cards presented by him don't have final cardname and artwork, of course

The Vampire is as nasty as they come. Nice. I want 2 pairs of them.

As for the Charm... Bah! And bah to cycles. I hate the abuse they do with cycles. Feels like they lack any imagination to balance the different colours.
