BFZ PAX Spoiler

~
Happy Sunday MTG peeps,

We had to work all day Saturday (and a chunk of Sunday) which means we were not in front of all the Battle for Zendikar spoilers 'n'  previews coming out of PAX Prime in Seattle.  Fear not, as we are going to summarise all the lovely Magic: the Gathering news from PAX as well as from other previewers over the weekend.

First up - get a load of the Battle for Zendikar trailer !



We should also tell you about the 'Six things you need to know about Battle for Zendikar' from MTG EU co-ord -


Righto - Let's get to some of the new Battle for Zendikar cards - 

The rare dual lands is templated after this fashion - Add X or Y to your mana pool.  Z(land card) enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or more basic lands.


Prairie Stream - The continent of Ondu is a vast plateau criscrossed by deep trenches and meandering rivers.

Sunken Hollow - On the continent of Tazeem, rushing waters plunge through narrow canyons into mist-cloaked lakes.

Smoldering Marsh - The continent of Guul Draz is a geothermal swampland reeking of heat and decay.

Cinder Glade - On the volcanic continent of Akoum, bizarre vegetation clusters around gas vents, and jagged mountain peaks rise high into the air.

Canopy Vista - The continent of Murasa lies beneath a blanket of dense vegetation, its enormous branches tangled so thickly that some inhabitants never see the ground.


. . . . And now for some of the other cards !
