Happy Thursday MTG peeps,
With Borbrorbygmobos nowhere to be seen, it is becoming apparent that Domri may now be large and in charge of the loosely affiliated Gruul Clans. Enough of that for the moment, we are here to talk about the next Magic: the Gathering set, Ravnica Allegiance, and the new Gruul Clans Mechanic. Here are all of them to date :
Guildpact : Bloodthirst
Gatecrash : Bloodrush
Ravnica Allegiance : Riot
Our OCD is suggesting that perhaps we should be calling this Bloodriot, but as Wizards of the Coast may want to develop a new nomenclature, who are we to argue. Riot is a keyword ability, which allows you to choose between +1/+1 counter or haste when a creature enters the battlefield. The two new Ravnica Allegiance cards previewed as part of the unveiling of this new tech are -
• Gruul Spellbreaker, 1GR, Creature - Ogre Warrior, illustrated by Zoltan Boros
• Frenzied Arynx, 2RG, Creature - Cat Beast, Illustrated by Filip Burburan
Looks like someone has snuck an Arynx off Tarkir through Ravnica customs, and now the killer kitteh is full grown. As for Grull Spellbreaker - WOW. The Riot tech is already pretty damn good with the hasty critters, and then you add trample in the mix, you've got a winner. The conditional hexproof puts this over the top and into our hearts - we want a deck-set. Here are all the Ravnica Allegiance mechanics so far, and to say we're excited to see what Wizards has for Azorius, would be an understatement.
