would have been cool if the level up was instant speed, now... not so much. Seems like the ROE brings quite a few new things though...

I'm kind of confused by the blue "take an extra turn if it's not your turn."

Does that mean you always get 2 turns to the opponents 1?

yes, you get an extra turn after your opponents, then you take your regular turn.

seems like the most new mechanics introduced by one set that I can think of

rebound, level up, annihilator, totem armor...plus the non-artifact colorless spells.

of all the cards spoiled so far I actually think the Hyena Umbra is gonna be the most used..seems like a so-so common at first glance but something tells me it'll be a white weeny staple for a long time.

+1/+1, first strike and totem armor for 1 mana. it's good on a 1/1 token and it's great on your more costly creature investments

Not in multiplayer, in multiplayer you take a turn after each opponent takes a turn and that on top of your own turn. It will get confusing but that is what it says.

So in a 4 player game where you are player 1 the sequence will be

Player 1
Player 2
Player 1
Player 3
Player 1
Player 4
Player 1
Player 1
Player 2
Player 1

Man, I really don't care if these Eldrazi cards are unplayable in preconstructed anymore. I cannot WAIT for Drafting and Sealed Deck with this set. Big humongous creatures with badass abilities to boot. Who cares if they're a zillion mana a pop? It's not like anyone else will be going any faster. XD

And these level-up cards look pretty fun, too. ROE is slowly turning into a "build up your army over time" kind of set. Hopefully the green Levelers have a bit more mana-costly level costs, seeing that they'll probably get some sort of acceleration anyway.

Sweet jesus that blue dude is the biggest multiplayer lightning rod I've ever seen. Johnny card for sure though. Awesome as it would be to have that many turns in a multiplayer game I think paying 9 mana into a single blue 1/3-2/4 is fairly impractical for most people.

bah, now I have to go update the article. There's some other stuff that's been spoiled too, including 'Eldrazi Temple' a land that gives :mana2: for Eldrazi spells and Abilities. It also taps for :mana1: for anything.

I suddenly get the urge to make an Eldrazi Deck for Preconstructed with Eldrazi Temple.

And Totem Armor. Oh yeah. That will be sweet. =)

I am not sure if many people have noticed but Magosi is going to become a desired card with the Lighthouse wizard. Give your opponet an extra turn then take 3 turns. Heck throw in time warp slience and other ways to hault your opponets turns and you have the making of a great stall deck. I honestly dont realy care for all the Eldrazi when I can spend the same mana and lock down turns on my opponet. Blue white control will be a great counter to the colorless decks that will be poping their head out soon. Who cares if you have a 15/15 when I have 3 turns to your 1 turn.

All Is Dust (AIDs). 7 Colorless, all opponents sacrifice all colored permanents. Mythic.

Really, Wizards? REALLY?
