Rise of the Eldrazi Rumor Images

Just got some rumor images from a player this morning~ RUMORs Only

The GhostFire is a re-print card from the set of future sight.
Another rumor, based on the card number, probably there would be over 90 cards are colorless.
If the Planeswalker is a real card, that would be a weak one.

Memnor would be absurdly overpowered outside of standard since Mycosynth Golem would make it cost UUU with only 8 artifacts on the field.

man the art on Sarkhan is awesome!!!

Memnor would be close to broken anyway you put it if it is allowed to go into the yard. Ressurecting this guy has a very high win potential, better then Iona.

Congratulations, Wizards. You've made the Mill meta-game obsolete.

Why? Mill him, and you get your opponent gets all his milled cards back.

Only things stopping this obomination against nature from ruining Mill is Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Scrib Nibblers (seeing that they exile him rather than properly milling him).

Dude, these are rumor images not confirmed cards, and there are already cards with that exact text, or "worse", in existence. One of them is a green creature that says if it's put into the graveyard from your library you shuffle your library back. Loaming shaman is even better since he's a 2 drop that when he "comes into play" you get to shuffle as many or as few cards from grave back into your deck.

THINK for a little before making The End Is Near announcements. The annihilator mechanic is more concerning, especially considering that Ugins will make this dude cost a mere 6 if you have a playset out.

And so I rest my case. Mill = dead.

And if Memnor is anywhere NEAR real, then blue just got one hell of a colorless ass-kicker. Get him into the grave, Rise him, and sit back while your extra turns allow you to just smash your opponent.

This "colorless wihtout being artifical" business intrigues me...it's certainly different. I like it. :)

Memnor's definetly not real: we know the Eldrazi will have translucent borders and text boxes, which that card is lacking. Also, the picture itself is of Kozilek!

Kozilek's the only one confirmed, and at number 6 when he's a K, there's probably not too many colorless. Btw, Eye of Ugin is Legendary, so no crazy cost-lowering on Eldrazi just yet.

Yes, yes I am. And I'm sure that YOU don't think a 12/12 for 10 colorless mana that lets you draw 4 cards, makes your opponent sacrifice 4 permanents when it attacks, and gives you back your whole graveyard when it dies is overpowered?

Okay, sure. Mill isn't dead, I overreacted about that. But still, the card is seriously broken, even if it IS at 10 mana. If Eldrazi Temple is anywhere near true, that's going to be pretty easy to bring out with the Eye. Plus, if you're running green, you'll have no problem ramping mana until you have enough to drop that big mother.

A ten mana creature that doesn't have haste, trample, or shroud should be about that strong. I think Kozilek is pretty well balanced; if you allow your opponent to get to ten mana, resolve this guy, and then give them a turn to let him get over his summoning sickness, you really deserve to lose four permanents.

This. He's one cheap removal spell away from getting reshuffled and he doesn't have anything special beyond an opponents-choice mandatory sacrifice.

He has no protection, no haste, and no indestructibility. I'd rather face Kozilek than a darksteel colossus, I can chump block and terminate Kozilek, I can't do that to old smokey.

I've quite honestly never heard that nickname for Darksteel before. XD

Yeah I shamelessly admit to being at least half vorthos, the nicknames and flavor make some cards just so much better.

1st, the lands are Legendary, thus you can't play with all four out. 2nd, I am thankful that these are only rumors and probably none of them are going to be true. 3rd, that Ghostfire is toally fake, I mean whoever made that has absolutly no imagination! It's from Ghostrider for those who don't recognize it. Even the quote is from the movie. 4th, the new Sarkhan is believable as is the Eldrazi Temple, although the symbol is not colored right which leads me to believe that its a fake and the art from Sarkahn is from the online comics.

I think Memnor is fake just because it's only set as a rare, you'd think something that powerful would be more.

No he's not. If you manage to pull even one of these things, you put it in your deck. ANY deck will fit it since it's colorless and instantly mill is useless against you. There is not a damn thing you can do against this and still mill to the best of my knowlege. I know there are other like it, even quest for ancient secrets is similar, but it's otherwise useless. This monster can fit in any deck and be used. It's like having a sideboard in one card that kicks ass anyway.

never playing Kozilek outside of any way to make him ridiculously cheap. Even 8 mana's just too much for competitive constructed (with exceptions, of course)

in EDH and multiplayer he's a BOMB. Even if he gets countered you still draw 4 cards which makes him awesome, everything beyond that is a bonus IMO. I will play one in one of my EDH decks for sure.
