Shadows Over Innistrad Previews 3-22

~
Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,

Hey Planeswalkers !  Did you drop by for some Shadows Over Innistrad spoilers and previews ?  Good, we've rounded them up here and will be on the look out for moar.  Here is the offerings for your review today -


Goldnight Castigator, 2RR
Creature - Angel, Mythic Rare
Flying, haste
If a source would deal damage to you, it deals double that damage to you instead.
If a source would deal damage to Goldnight Castigator, it deals double that damage to Goldnight Castigator instead.
4/9

Mothersite preview.  This is the evil twin to Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.  Likely a decent sideboard against control or perhaps (stretching it a bit) an 'all-in' aggro strategy.  If you are going for the latter and do not want to feel the sting of the serious down-side of this, we suggest pairing with Assault Formation, so we can get the Castigator starting a very fast clock with 9 evasive damage.

Hanweir Militia Captain, 1W
Creature - Human Soldier, Rare
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control four or more creatures, transform Hanweird Militia Captain.
2/2
//
Westvale Cult Leader
Creature - Human Cleric
Westvale Cult Leader's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control.
At the beginning of your end step, put a 1/1 white and black Human Cleric creature token onto the battlefield.
*/*

ARS Technica UK preview.  Solid flavour here.  This appears to be able to flip reasonably quickly, especially going with red / white human (tribal) with the likes of Pia and Kiran Nalaar in standard.  We love us some token generators.

Triskaidekaphobia, 3B
Enchantment, Rare
At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one -
• Each player with exactly 13 life loses the game, then each player gains 1 life.
• Each player with exactly 13 life loses the game, then each player loses 1 life.

LoadingReadyRun preview.  This fear is the extreme superstition regarding the number thirteen and this card demonstrates why.  We have a soft spot for alternate win conditions.  If you are serious about playing this, tread carefully - otherwise a totally mad-crazy-fun card.  By the way - how many things of '13' can you find in the card art? :)

Fevered Visions, 1UR
Enchantment, Rare
At the beginning of each player's end step, that player draws a card. If that player is your opponent and has four or more cards in hand, Fevered Visions deals 2 damage to him or her.

BrainStormBrewery preview.  If you are a fan of the tall stacks, we suggest dropping this into your 99 along with Nekusar, the Mindrazer as Commander / General.

Avacyn's Judgment, 1R
Sorcery, Rare
Madness XR (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)
Avacyn's Judgment deals 2 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or players. If Avacyn's Judgment's madness cost was paid, it deals X damage divided as you choose among those creatures and/or players instead.

Mothersite preview.  Nice burn spell but will likely see only the sideboard against tokens perhaps.  As for the art - it looks like Tamiyo is helping Jace out of a tight spot.
