So now that the dust has settled, what are your opinions of a block that will be set in Kaladesh, a plane influenced by steampunk and pre-colonialism India?
Nightmare Mode: No poo in loo, designated shitting streets or related jokes. That's low-hanging fruit.
I think we should get a legendary Thopter Artifact Creature and Construct and Thopter tribal buffs.
>Assemble contraption
>Now that the dust has settled what do you think about this thing that we literally have no information about?
Sounds like it's not based on pre-colonial India, it will probably be based on colonial India so the brown people will be the good guys and the white people will all be evil, irredeemable pieces of shit
>India
Well that could be interesting if they--
>steampunk
Are they just picking words out of a bowl?
>thopter tribal
I'm on board for that shit
This is the point where we throw theories at the wall and see what sticks and turns out to be true when it actually comes out.
Gotta love that white guilt.
WAIT PRE-COlONIAL
With, no pith caps, no majestic moustaches, no Kakis,
Sigh...
What annoys me the most is I'm never gonna get my cattle punk plane now, am I?
Have you seen chandra? The person with steampunk armor and goggles? She makes vensers armor look lowtech.
No, but you might get Shangri La
...
Well this guy be in shangri-la
agreed
Must be kinda hard to move around if your metal dress weighs 35 pounds. Dead weight is going to get a reprint here.
>pre-colonialism India
but Chandra is white
Contraptions are a meme that Rosewater is only trying to figure out because people were expecting a joke card from Future Sight to actually mean something. If he figured it out, he wouldn't have gone to his shitty blog to explain once again that he's still trying to solve the puzzle in the most corporate, dodgy way possible.
Aether-infused dress that defies gravity. It's the height of fashion.
Anti-Æther field.
As far as we're aware, those don't exist on Kaladesh or at the very least aren't common enough to be problematic. Otherwise, there would be loads of no-fly zones for thopters.

>other Thopters you control get +1/+1 and Flying
>but Chandra is white
Her parents are wizards.
That was printed in origins nig, its a 3 drop.
ORLY?
>"thopterS"
Take the S off dimbus.
its called chief of the foundry you autist.
that gets me two nigs that create Thopter token on ETB
that's not Thopter Lord any more than Adaptive Automaton is
>we wuz wizards n shiet
Or ambiguously pale Indians, which do exist.
I want a planeswalker who makes thopters. No, wait, a want a thopter planeswalker.
Fuck that, a plane made OF thopters.
>thopters
>artifacts
>SOI have clues
will this be the herald for another degenerate standard year?
Or master of etherium.
A 2cmc thopter lord would be dank, or a 3cmc one that isn't outclassed by the current ones. I mean, cheif is cool, one extra toughness compared to adaptive is... nice? Master can get big, but he's blue and while he's usually huge I can see an argument for */* being a downside.
3cmc, thopters get +1/+1, and either a cool keyword or better base stats would be sweet.
She stole those goggles m8.

What, do you think Veeky Forums is a particularly high brow place?

wut?
Indeed.
Just for fun though I did run through ideas for making a pooinloo set and the Snow mechanic works pretty well, you just have to make them poo lands. It was a tie between that or putting poo counters on things.
>and have flying
There are two Thopters since magic's inception that don't have flying; and they both have abilities that grant them flying.
>but Chandra is white
As I kid I had similiar hair to chandra, and one of my parents has even darker skin than Chandra's. Apparently I have my grandmother's hair, so I wouldn't mind it if they just include a line that the trait jumped one generation.
Of course it's possible that they had already planned out kaladesh and retconned chandra into it because they were short a plane for Origins.
That's the point.
Also Mutavault.
>want to be excited that we're getting a new plane and one that doesn't feel European at that
>still sad that the Egypt rumor was bullshit
>haven't gotten over what happened to Tarkir or how bad BfZ was
Being Vorthos is suffering.
Jaya is anime, chandra stole them and wears them in the streampunk fashion.
Man, you've never been around during a Pokémon leak season, have you?
Dunno, Indian texts are cited as examples of ancient aylmaos so it sort of makes sense for it to be a steampunkish setting where their wacky gods flying around in spaceships.
Offtopic
Any place I can watch the Manchester Grand Prix?
>Are they just picking words out of a bowl?
That would explain so many things.
Look at the cards from origins. There are all sorts of skin tones in cards set on Kaladesh.
Manchester
Would it sexually identify as an attack thopter?
I mean, is there any streaming of the GP?
Trips confirm sexy robots, I am down for this set
Give them affinity instead so ornithopter gets easier to play.
Better, a Thopter made of Planes
A thopter made of planes made of thopters, fueled by small thopters.
...
...That rests on top of a hangarback walker...
Enjoy having Emrakul wreck Innistrad.
It's just be a plane of planes made of planes full of planes.
And I'm going to crash it with no survivors
or a plane made of plains?
>screw you, ubrg fans
No user, plebs like you cant witness the pro players of magic.
>Are they just picking words out of a bowl?
If it were your job and you could get away with it, wouldn't you?
Uhh so our next set will be Wild West and our mechanic will be banding
I made my thesis by actually running 3 experiments and rolling dice for results of 97 others.
Sign me up!
All I want is no hangarback walker reprint
Fuck that thing
Only thing we can speculate about is that the plot will probably be the law vs rogue pyromancers and also there will be thopters. Obviously the world needs more fleshing out but anything is possible, even decent blue spells
All I want are good burn spells.
I hope it is actually fantasy India conquered centuried ago by fantasy Britain and most people living pefectly fine and mixing well until jews, pakis and gypsies arrive to destabilize and cause the Aether Revolt.
Just like real life, all for the sake of SJW tears.
I'll forgive them for niggers on Theros is they put White-looking people on Kaladesh. The whole of North India basically looks European, if Greek niggers are in flavour, European-looking Indian high caste aristocrats must exist.
There are pale and red-headed Mongols, Turks and Hindus. That's why some Roma had it so easy moving into and actually settling in places like Romania and Ireland.
Okay, wanna speculate about off-plane, non-Oath walkers just chilling on Kaladesh? I'm feeling... Narset, Tezzeret or Jaya Ballard
Can't wait to make my banding/horsemanship deck
Quick, unrelated question How many basics should I have in a four man cube?
I'm fine that the Egypt rumor was bs. That would make for a cool plane, but Wizards would shit it up with the Jacetice League and this crappy new art style.
Next set: Frontiers & Seas of Sand
Set theme: Wooden hoverships, sand piracy, cowboy shootouts, gun artifacts, desert themed creatures, oases for blue mana creatures, desert temples and cities, inspiration drawn from places like Agrabah and Texas, etc.
Keywords: Horsemanship, Shootout (target opponent chooses to discard 1 or lose a life, and you do the same as what they chose.), anchor (creature cannot be put back into ones hand or library by spells or abilities. It can still die, be sacrificed, or exiled.)
You'd be surprised.
There are actually a couple thopters that only have conditional flying.
...
I'm cautiously optimistic. Doesn't look like there will be any possibility of Eldrazi shit in it. Seeing as it's Chandra's homeplane, maybe we can go a set without Jace, too.
I'm a Vorthos and I'm enjoying things
I hope it's Tezzy. Bitch needs to start kicking ass again
Oh wow, 3/1 for 4, that looks impressively shitty from the present. I wonder how much is powercreep and how much is just telethopter being the One With Nothing of its day.
The egypt plane, if we can accurately deduct from Magic Origins, is going to be Vryn, Jace's plane, and they will 100% do it.
I'm thinking Egypt with high magic, and some aylmao-tech subtones with the mage rings.
Because 0CMC wasn't good enough?
If it's littered with the literary crap of the "main" group of planeswalkers, it should just up and fucking die.
Otherwise, maybe it's good
>character named CHANDRA NALAAR from the plane of designated shitting streets is a white redhead
???
