DoTP Innistrad Spoilers

~
Happy Monday MTG peeps,

Before we get into the post, make sure you check out the Commander CONTEST were are having (details HERE on page bottom). Righto - back on track -> We have some amazing Magic the Gathering spoiler news to share. The source is none other than Wizards of the Coast Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 electronic game. Deep within the bowels of game code, enterprising fans have found hidden decklist files including card art and text from what is strongly suspected to be future cards to appear in upcoming sets Magic 2012 and Innistrad.

These lines of codes are thought to be files intended to be unlocked at some point in the future. We think that there may be a few game developers which may be in the hot seat this week with Wizards. Anywhoos - We urge readers to treat all this as hearsay / rumour until officially previewed on the mothership site. For now, let's feast on tantalizing nuggets of spoiler goodness . . .


From Ajani's decklist ()
Three new cards : Spectral Rider, Wreath of Geists, and Angelic Destiny (thought to be a Magic 2012 card)

From Liliana's decklist ()
Two new cards : Moan of the Unhallowed, and Bloodgift Demon

From Ral Zarek's decklist ()
Two new cards : Skirsdag Cultist and Murder of Crows
Ral Zarek is thought to be a new Planeswalker in Innistrad.

Let's talk . . .

First off - looks like Flashback is returning - this is very cool. Secondly - Did you see Angelic Destiny ? Totally awesome - everyone - build your own Baneslayer ! Thirdly - Innistrad has this 'Van Helsing' (vibe on the gothic horror / pirate zombie) feel to it and we are so pumped to get these cards into our hands and onto the game table. Pipe in - let us know - are you as giddy as we are ?
