CanTrip Contest

~

I enjoy trolling through a variety of MTG-related websites to see what is new. Although my limited understanding of French, German and Spanish is horrible, I still do regularly visit foreign-language sites to get the latest scoop on the world of Magic: The Gathering.

I even occasionally get my hands on dated publications such as Cantrip Magazine, a favourite Spanish publication . . . Imagine my delight at hearing about a contest they are running.

Huge CanTrip Magazine Contest

NINE uncut sheets of FOIL ( ! ) Shards of Alara and Eventide AND a Box of Booster Packs - (IMPORTANT) You will need to be fluent in Spanish and complete an on-line survey of 15 questions as well as a regular reader of Cantrip.

Alara Card Spoiler 3

Welcome to yet another Shards of Alara card spoiler post. This occasion, courtesy of the yet-to-be-released spanish magazine 'revista Cantrip'.

You know that if I saw this awesome cover, I would be picking it up at my local gaming store. (that and a translator)

Here is the spread in the magazine where the spoiler goodness lives !

On to the cards and some shaky translation . . .


Covenant of Minds (Cápsula del Verdugo)
4{U}, Sorcery, Common
Reveal the top 3 cards of your library. Target opponent may choose to let you put those cards into your hand. If he or she doesn't put those 3 cards in your graveyard, draw 5 cards
Before singning anything in Grixis, read the small print

Could be amazing or incredibly bad . . .

Woolly Thoctar (Thoctar lanudo)
{R}{G}{W}
Creature - Beast, Uncommon
5 / 4

A very nice solid beater for a great cost if you can get these mana out by turn 3.

Executioner's Capsule {B}
Artifact, Rare
1{B}, sacrifice Executioner's Capsule : Destroy target nonblack creature.
There's always a moment of doubt before the opening of a messenger's capsule, by fear of wich judge it can contains

Nice ! I might even consider getting a deck set perhaps.



Anyway, stay tuned for more Shards of Alara spoilers and WoTC preview observations here.
