Bentley Hall
Well. At least we know two Innistrad waifus are alive now.
Evan Richardson
>thalia is back
Yuss!
Jose Martin
that thalia actually looks like a really good card
Ian Cruz
I like that clone. Works as temporary removal to clear the path for the attack.
Thomas Jenkins
plus it sort of lets you attack with creatures that have summoning sickness and triggers their ETB effects
Lincoln Barnes
Where are these leaks coming from?
Michael Lopez
That Thalia is guaranteed to see modern play right?
I mean a 3 power first striker that fucks up any and all haste creatures for only three nana seems incredibly good against any type of aggro deck.
Parker Martin

This is good enough to see legacy play. Opponent plays fetchland >tapped Fetches a dual >tapped Plays a goyf >tapped Tries to use sneak attack >tapped Elves tries to hoof me >tapped Elves wants to use to cradles in one turn >tapped Entreat the angels to ambush block >tapped Reality smasher >tapped
It goes on, this card is insane
Blake Wood
There is already a card that does the same thing except for lands for one less cmc and doesn't see any play whatsoever.
Nathan Ward
And one that does the same thing for all lands, creatures and artifacts for one more cmc and doesn't see any play whatsoever either.
Zachary Flores
>except for lands
And that's why it's not used.
Matthew Garcia
>except for lands
and there you go.
Justin Adams
>a card exists that only does half what this card does, has a fragile 2/1 body and can't be protected by karakas
In other words, you chug dick
Daniel Robinson
No, making nonbasics etb tapped for one more mana doesn't suddenly elevate unplayable garbage to an insane card scrub.
Landon Jones

Liam Smith
>implying I would listen to the opinion of Veeky Forums garbage players
Kek, fuck off.
Ayden Hill
>except for lands >no first strike Yeaaaaah.
Jackson Morales
>3 mana 3/2 >In Boltening: The Format
How about no
Colton Lopez
Ok, go ahead and try playing it in T1,5 then, make sure to report back on just how much you got rekt though scrub.
John Butler
There is a card that does the exact same thing for everything,has the same cmc, is an artifact and it is not played at all!
Carter Richardson
>t. trashcan
Lmao
Isaac Morgan
Oh okay, so you were just baiting and shitposting, I knew that nobody could be this much of a scrub, my bad will just ignore you from now on.
Chase Diaz
Spain.
Everything has to be translated for the natives before a simultaneous release, combine that with a culture of corruption and "little favours" and you can get leaks for damn near anything.
Kayden Jenkins
>dies to removal There are plenty of creatures that are played in Modern and yet don't have 4 toughness. If your creature is a literal removal magnet, it's considered pretty good already. At least she isn't x/1 and forces the Electrolyze.
And you can play her with the other Thalia too.
Alexander Powell
3/2 is a pretty bad spot to be in in standard though,
James Adams
And how many of them cost three mana and don't do shit?
William Lewis
Shut the fuck up you autistic trashcan.
Robert Butler
She is a white human and has first strike she is an easy include in humans. She is really good in the mirror and vs other aggro decks. Opponents can't coco during your turn in order to get creatures to block.
At worst a sideboard card.
Tyler Butler
Oh totally playable still, 100% agree on that. It's just nowhere near DA Thalia.
Nathan Brown
>has better P/T >Doesn't affect you >Only costs 1 more >Nowhere near DA Thalia
Jaxon Baker
You're a fucking retard. Yes, the early spoilers come from Spain this time, but so fucking what? We had several other spoiled cards in older sets coming from the United States or other parts of the Europe and people wouldn't generalize it as a "national phenomenon".
Fucking dumbass.
Jackson Murphy
>That clone holy shit, you can wreck face with that
Ian Cooper
What I love about that clone is how strong the flavor is while still being a perfect fit with the "blinking" theme.
Andrew Myers
/pol/'s gotta /pol/, you know.
Caleb Collins
Blue removal.
Okay yeah, sure.
Not like it isn't too late to balance blue anyway.
David Edwards
>3/2 almost-Kismet Sounds nice in a D&T list
Charles Carter
Blue always had soft removal
William Roberts
blues most common removal is soft removal.
bouncing/flickering are totally in blues pie slice
Jackson Murphy
Europeans have no respect, that's pretty much the point
Jacob Rodriguez
You just love to submerge yourself in ingorance don't you? Getting your cultural studies from Veeky Forums is not the best choice.
Ayden Martin
I'd be mad for you insulting my country if it weren't because its actually true.
But as far as I'm concerned you can kiss my corrupt ass. Maybe then I'll make you a "little favour" and give you the spoilers WOTC doesn't.
Dylan Myers
>Europeans have no respect S...Sorry master, sorry...We gud boyz, we promise...

Hudson Long
Abusing him with Newlamog makes my mill boner rock hard. Mill 40 the turn you play Newlamog.
Henry Myers
Will the clone make processors good?
Ethan Brown
We respect what matters son
Isaac Perry
>goes to every magic thread >finds any post that isn't in love with the spoiled EMN cards >calls them Veeky Forums garbage players
Jesus christ, please tell me you at least get paid for this.
Evan Anderson
What's wrong with her face? It looks so Manish! I thought Voss was better than this, or is this just the direction of Neo Wizards?
Angel Murphy
Could be any combination of foiling, perspective, photo quality, etc. But the other two pieces for Thalia weren't exactly perfect either: first was noface, second was ALL THE FACE and for lack of a better word looked a bit "plasticky".
Nathan Williams
>Thalia sealed like a pre-release promo >No stamp seen
Have they finally removed those goddamn stamps?
James Jenkins
Nevermind didn't see that it was a buy a box promo.
Carter Morgan
It is? So this isn't the normal art?
Ryder Bell
Nope.
Carter Rogers
I mean I like it okay, but the chance the actual art will look even better? Yes please.
Luke Hernandez
Isn't the promo art usually the better art?
Jack Watson
Thank you I agree she looks Manish, what the fuck Voss you are better than this, well now I wait for the normal art.
Anthony Foster
art is subjective, bro.
Nicholas Morales
I'm pretty strongly divided on this one. It's almost like Voss heard the complaints that the original art had no face. I liked the original better because it has actual atmosphere and personality despite the face kinda disappearing: especially in foil it still looks great. The FACE misses out on that, and it feels like it could be almost anyone's face on any plane of existence.
Eh. Not all photos are flattering, but we'll see when better images emerge.
Luke Clark
>unplayable garbage
I know you don't think much of the card but you gotta be retarded to think that
William James
Considering how you've treated your own president for the past 8 years I'm curious how small your list of what matters is.
Matthew Gonzalez
Not wanting to stare your waifu in the face and look at those kissable lips, what are you gay or something?

Dominic Gray
2 drop vs 3 drop is huge.
Aiden Hughes
>kissable lips Nobody care, what counts is how good they feel wrapped around a dick. Or munching on pussy.
Jordan Myers
If it weren't on a card conveniently labeled "Thalia" it'd be impossible to say for certain that's who it was. Honestly I liked most of Argyle's other sketches for the promo better than the one that got chosen.
Joshua Rivera
...
Easton Adams
Manolo...
Benjamin Jackson
>thinks new thalia is bad Do you think new emrakul is good too?
Mason Brooks
Bottom middle is the best one, imo.
Isaiah Butler
Bottom right is pretty bad.
Christian Nguyen
> Based Thalia
Bitch is so based, she has fucking Saint Traft as Stand now.
Henry Butler
>Thalia's the buy a box promo Fucking sold
Thomas Cox
...
Cameron Powell
Top right is my favorite, because point-in-line is actually an appropriate way to be holding that weapon. Center right is my least favorite because you NEVER do that if you have any formal training or experience. In fact in kendo it gets you shouted at.
Jack Reyes
Bottom middle guy here, I think Top Right is good too, but I just think that the town of Thraben should be featured on a card with 'Guardian of Thraben' on it. With bottom middle and top right, she actually looks like she's blocking entry to Thraben, a sort of 'you shall not pass' sort of thing, which kinda works with her.
Besides, accurate swordplay in fantasy art? Ever? C'mon.
Chase Hall
>goes to every magic thread >finds any post that doesn't agree with his shit opinion as a trashcan player >thinks Veeky Forums opinions have any relevance
Wow Reddit, next time make it less obvious.
Levi Adams
>Thalia isn't dead/corrupted/evil like everyone else people remembered from Innistrad 1 >her new card is similar in style to the original and goes very well with it >somehow still rare like the original
What the fuck is going on
Gabriel Ward
i'm buying a set for D&T, which is now Tier 0 in Legacy.
Jaxon Flores
Maybe she will be corrupted into Thalia, the Horrid Tentacle in the next set?
Adam Lopez
8/10, would do things to her tentacle.
Leo Robinson
But there is no next set.
This october we are going to not-India. I'm really looking forward to a not-Shiva and not-Vishnu cards.
Hunter Nguyen
>Is talia your win condition? If yes, you are bad, if no, it does not matter the dies to removal thing. Learn2play There is a reason why creatures like steel overseer, bob, original thalia, kiki.jiki, and much more are played in memedern, but what would you know
Nathan Cooper
thalia is the hero we deserve
Brody Rivera
Nah, it's just a steampunk/"aether"punk setting with brown people. Don't get your hopes up about any cool Hindu themed legends.
Juan Butler
No Loxodon then?
Brayden Stewart
the same guy goes into every spoiler thread and naysays because he's a compulsive contrarian >thassa is bad >rabblemaster is bad >siege rhino is bad >nahiri is bad >thalia is bad
same guy every time. always wrong.
Aiden Barnes
The next Innistrad set then.
Josiah Jones
Gatewatch's Bizzare Adventure Part 1: Phantom Stand Part 2: Planeswalking Tendency Part 3: Eternities Crusaders Part 4: Thraben is Unbreakable Part 5: Vento Magica Part 6: Phyrexian Ocean Part 7: Darksteel Ball Run Part 8: GatewatchLion
Juan Parker
>Part 7: Darksteel Ball Run I want this.
Carson Walker
Could it be Hindu-inspered cyberpunk?, I could get behind that.
Caleb Young
I don't think so. We are still super weak to really fast storm. This does help, with the fucking elves, and fair matchups but its still a fragile three drop.
Brody Powell
>Koth and Venser race across the plane to find the Father of Machines before Elesh Norn does
Levi White
It's got genuine punkish themes, with most of Kaladesh being a horrid dystopia of surveillance and state-controlled technology. But don't expect any corporations or augmentation.
Logan Bell
>Venser Joestar >Karn Zeppeli >Elesh Norn, Phyrexian President >Koth Brando
Colton Bennett
Shouldn't you swap Venser and Karn? After all, Zeppelis always die
Luis Evans
Yeah true.
Venser Zepelli teaches the art of the Spinspell to Karn, who begins to feel more like a living being. Desperate to become a living thing and escape the Phyrexians, he joins the Darksteel Ball Run to find the secrets of life.
Karn Brando serves as a rival to Karn and often distracts their progress
Elesh Norn is on the search for the Father of Machines, which she believes will give her ultimate power to make Phyrexia the greatest ever. Her Stand, D4C (Dirty Denizen Destroyer Done Cheap) Lets her summon characters from neighboring alternate planes.
