Many thanks to the hero of the hour quodo and many others who had contributed generously to complete the Magic 2010 spoiler . . . We now have the last ten cards and are sitting at 249 / 249 !

Over the next few weeks, MTG Realm will be digesting these and excreting opinions as to what's hot / what's not and what this may mean for standard.

Let's have a look at the last ten now . .

~

Borderland Ranger, 2G
Creature — Human Scout C
When Borderland Ranger enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.

All creatures able to block Prized Unicorn do so.

2/2
Sam Wood


Stampeding Rhino, 4G

Bragster Magic

~

Just a note about the last post . . . specifically something interesting about Dragon Whelp. This card was spoiled by Wizards via Bragster. If you haven't heard about Bragster, please don't feel left out - I hadn't either until just earlier this week.

Bragster is an online social webpage to dare your friends, record a challenge, upload evidence and brag about 'it' (whatever 'it' was) forever. Think of Bragster kind of like what would happen if Facebook meets Jacka$$ on eHarmony.

click to enlarge

Anywho, it appears that Wizards of the Coast is really exploring every online social media outlet. They had teamed up with Bragster to celebrate the release of their 2010 Core Set and upcoming Grand Prix event in Brighton, UK - in addition to witnessing the crazy a$$ dares that MTG players could dream up . . . . sounds lame but I don't mind at all really.

Here's why - - -

A few days ago, Wizards posted three 'dares' on Bragster -
* "I dare everyone to Leave a sticker or stencil the planeswalker symbol somewhere in public",
* "I dare everyone to Learn to play Magic, or teach a friend", and
* "I dare everyone to Show us how YOU rule with Magic: the Gathering!"

In response, Bragster user dragonangyle dared Wizards to spoil a Magic 2010 card exclusive to Bragster members only. Well he got his wish and subsequently, we got Dragon Whelp . . . Thanks !

click to enlarge

Why would you want to join fellow MTG players in the Bragster pool . . . ?
Apparently some very good reasons - they will be giving away "loads of cool prizes, including a netbook computer, iPod, Xbox 360". The huge awesome win - "a grand prize of a trip for you and a friend to the Magic World Championships in Rome, Italy this November!". Sign me up right now.

MTG Realm rose to the stencil / sticker challenge and tagged the former Popemobile on display at museum.

3. Step 3 - Get entering the open dares and win yourself some awesome prizes!

Prize details:

M10 Spoiler 12

~

Welcome back and happy Tuesday to all. Some more Magic 2010 spoilers for your inquisitive eyes. Before I get to the juice, I have to say again that the card art in M10 really impresses me. Enough said, this way to new card awesomeness and some M10 strategy / review on the new spoilers.

~

Indestructibility, 3W
Enchantment - Aura, Rare
Enchant permanent
Enchanted permanent is indestructible.



This card is OK . . . that is is you like really bad cards. Four mana to make something indestructible ? Nutty. Why not try Shield of the Oversoul (a common to boot too!) for only 3 mana - Shiled gives +2/+2 for a green / white critter AND flying AND indestructible. The only thing that Indestructibility gives you extra is that it could be placed on any permanent (enchantment or creature). You guys can have mine.

~

Merfolk Sovereign, 1UU
Creature - Merfolk, Rare
Other Merfolk creatures you control get +1/+1.
{T}: Target Merfolk creature is unblockable this turn.
2/2



There is not really any support for Merfolk in this set but look to Lorwyn / Shadowmoor and then you're cooking with gas. This card is a solid improvement over the Lorwyn Merfolk Liege Merrow Reejerey. I would giggle with evil glee to be able to be able to use Merfolk Sovereign ability to give Wanderwine Prophets an unblockable swing and then take an additional turn . . . just sweet.

~

Xathrid Demon, 3BBB
Creature - Demon, Mythic Rare
Flying, trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature other than Xathrid Demon, then each opponent loses life equal to the sacrificed creature's power. If you can't sacrifice a creature, tap Xathrid Demon and you lose 7 life.
7/7

This this card highly situational and otherwise bad . . . you tell me. Again . . . if I get this, just know that I will be trading it for a few good commons (if I can get it).

~

Dragon Whelp, 2RR
Creature - Dragon, Uncommon
Flying
{R}: Dragon Whelp gets +1/+0 until end of turn. At the beginning of the end step, if this ability has been played four or more times this turn, sacrifice Dragon Whelp.
2/3



I guess that one would not really want to pay out 4 mana to see this sacked at the end of turn unless you really need to hit 6 for-the-win. MTG Realm suggestions serving this card with the Shards of Alara enchantment Crucible of Fire to pump the Whelp into a more sizeable 5/6 piece of nastiness.


~ Stay tuned for more M10 spoilers / reviews.

We only need details on 10 more cards to have the set spoiler complete. Looking for : Borderland Ranger, Bramble Creeper, Centaur Courser, Cudgel Troll, Emerald Oryx, Entangling Vines, Mist Leopard, Mold Adder, Prized Unicorn, and Stampeding Rhino.

M10 Spoiler 11

~

Hello again folks,
Just another quick update on the Magic 2010 spoilers. For up-to-date (minute by minute) juice, you can check out our buddy Streetz at Magic Deck Vortex or pop over to MTG Sally for the skinny.

Anywho - We are just posting a few odd jobs here which have accompanying artwork - buckle up and lets go.

~
Earthquake, XR
Sorcery, Rare
Earthquake deals X damage to each creature without flying and each player.

Anytime I see an 'X' in a mana cost (or in the power / toughness department), I take serious notice. Earthquake however does not really float my boat as it were. Banefire rocks and knocks this reb burn poser out of the park.

Goblin Chieftain, 1RR
Creature - Goblin, Rare
Haste
Other Goblin creatures you control get +1/+1 and have haste.
2/2

I really wish I had a card like this back in my Lorwyn boggart days - that would have been very cool - pumped and hasty goblins - nice! I am currently dusting off my collection for Goblin fatties and dreaming about a deck which includes this very nice card.

Rhox Pikemaster, 2WW
Creature - Rhino Soldier, Uncommon
First strike
Other Soldier creatures you control have first strike.
3/3

In this core set edition, the colour White really seems to be doing very well. If, during your pre-release / release, you see another player slinging white cards, chances are, there are some soldiers in the mix. Between Captain of the Watch, Rhox Pikemaster, Elite Vanguard, Palace Guard, and the Veterans (Armorsmith and Swordsmith), the white aggro / soldier deck nearly builds itself here.

Nature's Spiral, 1G
Sorcery, Uncommon
Return target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. (A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land or planeswalker card.)

Never underestimate the usefulness of recursion. Being able to fetch a critter or another spell from the graveyard is good and for only two mana, I would venture 'reasonable'. There are about a half-dozen or so cards which simple 'exile' (remove from game) your fav cards so this may put a damper on fun. Altso, Nature's Spiral really hates Haunting Echoes which promises to be a high pick for black.

Djinn of Wishes, 3UU
Creature - Djinn, Rare
Flying
Djinn of Wishes enters the battlefield with three wish counters on it.
2{U}{U}, Remove a wish counter from Djinn of Wishes: Reveal the top card of your library. You may play that card without paying its mana cost. If you don't, exile it.
4/4

Totally kewl art, totally kewl name but damn ! This card kinda sucks - unless you find a very specific purpose for this, I don't think this will see much play . . . really - what are the chances of paying 3 and then getting a free fatty (without using a harbinger) ?

Stay tuned for more Magic spoilers, reviews and witless banter here on MTG Realm !

M10 Spoiler 10

~

Our last post on Friday, we were looking at approximately 174 of 249 Magic 2010 spoiled cards to date. One word comes to mind . . . 'Deluge' - as in an overwhelming volume of card details coming to light.

A very large portion of the card reprints this season were due to the Great Gatherer Gaffe but special mention must be provided to forum fan 'Quodo' from France who graciously gave whatever he had (which was a lot) - hoping also that the WoTC spooks don't nail him with a ban either.

Anywhoos - Lets have a full review of a glorious 225 of 249 cards we have to date and hope that card art is shortly following . . . reviews coming soon !

The Great Gatherer Gaffe : Part Two

When last we left our fearless MTG blogger (yours truly 'CopySix'), just a few short hours ago in this previous post, spoiler nutters over on the forums were busy at work URL-hacking the Magic: The Gathering card database, simply known as 'Gatherer'. This is the database where the dB Administrator pre-loaded Magic 2010 reprints ahead of the official pre-release. This most epic of spoilers is only equally matched by the epic facepalm fail of the Administrator who perhaps underestimated the tech-savvy forum nerds.


Gatherer is down to fix the mess at the moment but the (un)official body count now stands at 174 of 249 M10 cards spoiled. (Cards in bold are not reprints but new cards spoiled elsewhere other than the Gatherer Gaffe). Stay tuned to in depth review of new cards latter.

I am a bit disapointed that Gatherer appears to be down at the moment - I'll pretend for now that WoTC accidentally uploaded all the Magic 2010 and Zendikar cards into the database and are now hurrying to clean it up. In this day dream, I'm the one who was able to recall with perfect clarity all the card details and flavour text before Gatherer went off line.

Anywhoos - Three more M10 spoilers for you - TWO new card and two reprints.

Harm's Way, W

Instant Uncommon
The next 2 damage that a source of your choice would deal to you or a permanent you control this turn is dealt to target creature or player instead.

This a fantabulous one drop for white and should be seeing solid casual play. This is a nice answer to Red's 'Lightning Bolt'.

I am liking the power of the cards here - who can complain about a functional reprint of Savannah Lions ?

1/1

A very decent one drop. In 9th and 10th edition, Soul Warden was uncommon. I am feeling very good about this being a common again.

Look at the top three cards of your library, then put them back in any order. You may shuffle your library.
Draw a card.

Always a solid choice for your average blue deck. This provides some level of control for executing your game strategies.

Here is a great image . . . just imagine yourself cracking open a Magic 2010 Fatpack at your desk instead of filling out your TPS report.
