Rivals of Ixalan Tokens

~
Happy Thursday MTG peeps,

In this post, we wanted to cover off what Magic: the Gathering players may expect in the way of new Rivals of Ixalan Tokens and Markers.  In today's article on the mothersite linked here, Blake posted a total of four Tokens and two Markers.  Here is the summary -

• Red 1/1 Elemental creature token, generated by Tilonalli's Summoner

• Red 0/1 Elemental creature token with "At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this creature and return target card named Rekindling Phoenix from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste until end of turn.", generated by Rekindling Phoenix

• Green 1/1 Saproling creature token, generated by Tendershoot Dryad

• Colourless 4/4 Golem artifact creature token, generated by Gold-Forge Garrison

• Emblem - Hautli - Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may draw a card, generated by Huatli, Radiant Champion '-6' ability

• Marker - City's Blessing indicated on numerous cards.

Returning Tokens and Markers carried over from the previous Ixalan set identified so far to date -

• Colourless Treasure artifact token with "t, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.", generated by a number of cards.  The Ixalan set contained four different treasure tokens, all based upon a tribal theme. 

• White 1/1 Vampire with Lifelink, generated by Elenda, the Dusk Rose

• Blue 1/1 Merfolk with Hexproof, generated by Aquatic Incursion


• Green 3/3 Dinosaur with Trample, generated by Baffling End

Commander 2014 Tokens

~
Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,

The very next Commander set - Commander 2014 is ready to be released this Friday, 7th November 2014 and we are definitely pumped.  Magic: the Gathering players who enjoy this format will be certainly pleased with a nod to past reprints and we have to admit to a bit of nostalgia seeing some of the older cards.  But it is not just reprints - there are 61 new, never seen before cards which is sure to rock your game table.  Most notable is the printing of a cycle of special Planeswalkers which may now act as your commander and are featured in each of the five coloured decks.  Our group is planning on purchasing at least two decks and getting a bunch of singles from MTG Mint Card.

The topic today of course are the tokens which are included in the Commander 2014 product.  In fact, there is a whopping 36 different tokens and emblems to be had in C14 and if you know us here at MTG Realm, we've got a thingy for tokens.  We follow a fella named Andrew who runs a Tumblr Blog called Sarpadian Empires Vol. VIII, who did a great job organising all the tokens 'n' emblems from the two preview posts on the mothersite (here and here).

He had these notes - 

Tokens and emblems of Commander (2014 Edition), organized by the color of the card that creates them (and then by size). This is an awesome suite of extra goodies we get!
EDIT: And I just realized that, by my own rule, the Goat token should be at the end since it’s made by an artifact. But it’s too late now I guess. Good for you, Goat, leading the pack.

Magic 2015 Tokens

~
Happy Friday MTG peeps,

Indeed it is - the sun is shinning (at least where we are), we're heading into the weekend and - quite importantly - the full Magic: the Gathering core set has now been previewed and posted in the Magic 2015 card image gallery on the mothersite.  We'll have loads to discuss with the folks down at OMG! Games, here in Barrie, Ontario latter tonight at Friday Night Magic we're sure.  Anywhoos, before we get too much into favourite cards or discussions how each may impact the various game formats (we'll leave that for Monday), we wanted to cover off all the emblems and tokens available in this new set.  We know the mothership already previewed these a while ago, but since we have a streak of OCD a mile wide, we needed to show 'em all off along with the particular card that generates said token or emblem - let's go!
