Is there any chance at all they print tokens for the power nine because of this?

Wow it’s the art from the Urza Vanguard card!

Would love to see this in a retro frame 😫

Interesting that the art had all blue background glyphs but the finished card made it Green/Blue. I wonder if at the time of the art prompt Kumena was only supposed to be blue?

Love the optimism! I for sure will hit my classic 1-3 drop but I'll definitely be playing in this. I wish that card was for everyone on entry, though I'll also never not use the DiTerlizzi original.

Hopefully Grief and/or Psychic Frog eat a ban before November.

Oh cool, I’m glad they did for all the people who like playing with him. Good job by the RC.

Wow I don’t think I’ve ever actually looked at that art before but yeah dang, thats up there.

Probably one of the most horrific card arts ever, still can’t believe this made it onto a card but really glad we get them every once in a while.

Ad Nauseam is another I think of when I’m thinking of gruesome cards.

tl;dr Neheb the Eternal is nerfed. Anything that just says “postcombat main phase” now only refers to the “second main phase” so if you have something creating more then it won’t keep triggering.

Darwin Kastle!

I love this card and played it nonstop during Urza’s block in Ponza.

This is so interesting, thinking about it now I’ve never associated the wedges or shards with themes or qualities, just individual representative cards or decks I guess.

Bant is Noble Hierarch for me, and Abzan/Junk is Seige Rhino. Esper is Raffine, Jeskai is Narset, RUG/Temur I think of RUG Delver. Grixis is Mishra or Nicol Bolas.

Sultai I still always call BUG and will forever. I always think of Shardless BUG from Legacy a while ago, and I guess this one is the exception because I think of actual bugs too.

The destroy target creature one is interesting. My regex isn’t good enough to get this in one nice query but it looks like there are 3 cards that have just this rules text:

• Eviscerate - 3B
• Impale - 2BB
• Murder - 1BB

If it’s a black card I can’t imagine they go BB on it, but maybe BBB for some kind of lore reason. Maybe it’s 4B for limited?

My other thought is that it’s in a new color or color combo. Maybe a new 1BW murder?

Yeah good question, this is definitely one of the highest of all time. Demonic Tutor sold for $168k which I think was the previous record until Force of Will sold for $350k a short while ago.

That one is so far and above anything else that I can’t imagine anything other than maybe Black Lotus or some combo of iconic art + special interest from the buyer will ever crack that but who knows.
