  • Magic: the Gathering: Looking to the Future

    Let's talk Mirrodin. Wizards of the Coast's hype machine promises us a new card type in the fall expansion. Speculation?

      Nah, new TYPE. Something more drastic than that.

      Interrupts aren't coming back. That isn't likely.

      Something faster than Sorceries, but slower than Instants is possible, but doubtful. Who wants the added complication of spells that can be cast as instants on your turn only, or something like that?

      Maybe a variant on Enchant Worlds is a possibility, but what? The Legends rule has pretty well replaced that. Maybe they mean Legendary Enchantments, which haven't existed yet. But that'd be underwhelming.

      Best candidate: Artifact spells. They've openly said that artifacts go through good times and bad times, and recently, it's been thin times for artifacts. Colorless spells might be part of that bringing that back. You all noticed the Urza lands in 8th edition, right?
      All syllogisms have three parts.
      Therefore this is not a syllogism.

        Colorless Spells would be so cool.

          Colorless spells are a popular choice in rumor mills at the moment.

            Yeah, but that isn't exactly a new spell type.

              Enchant Enchantments!
              Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

                They say clearly that it's a new card type, a counterpart of Artifact, Creature, Enchantment, Land, Instant, and Sorcery. I absolutely can't imagine what it could be.

                  Will disenchant spells be able to kill them as well as vanilla enchantments?

                      A new type of permanent that you can play on someone else's turn?

                      A class of spell faster than a sorcery but slower than an instant?

                        Yup. Enchant Enchantment and Enchant World are both valid targets for Disenchant effects.

                          Somehow I doubt it'll be a new type of permenant that can be played on someone else's turn. There's no reason why you can't just put "can be played as an instant" on creatures, enchantments, & artifacts. In fact, I forget the name, but there's a creature in the Urza set somewhere that allows all enchantments to be played as instants.

                            Different topic. Mind's Desire is apparently the most broken card in Scourge. It was apparently restricted in Extended - BEFORE Scourge was released!

                            Word on the streets is that Mind's Desire will be banned in Extended, since there is apparently a combo involving it which allows people who are so inclined to eliminate their opponent's library on the third turn or thereabouts.

                            Wasn't this exactly what they were trying to avoid by making the Onslaught saga creature - heavy and jacking up casting costs across the board?
