Comment:

Why does the simic charm have the gruul symbol on it

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Good catch. We have fixed the mistake in the art gallery as well as added some more pictures.

Author: Dash

Comment:

It doesn't have the gruul symbol...

Author: CAT

Comment:

So this is what Niv was trying to accomplish?
Draw his library for 12 mana.....

Thanks Niv MIzzet!

Author: jp

Comment:

Isn't the signet supposed to be a keyrune?

Author: naps

Comment:

old borborygmos is way better. still funny that it's name is derived from a legitimate medical term for 'stomach grumbling'

Author: skyblazer

where is razia?

Author: Jesper Jensen

Comment:

Razia is dead. Like most of the old leaders.

Hm, Cipher ability together with an invisible stalker sounds nice...

stolen identity with biovisionary might be an idea

Author: Ian

Comment:

Obviously you haven't heard of sysemic assault.

Author: Zombieman

Comment:

Can bloodrush to be used to pump up Wild Beastmaster before her ability triggers or no?

Author: Zephan

Comment:

think of a biovisionary/cackling counterpart populate deck.

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

I think when you declare her as an attacker her ability will go on the stack, at which point you can respond with bloodrush. I think the +x/+x will be checked once her ability resolves. So, yes I think it can.

Author: furfur93

Comment:

I want to see more dimir mill cards somethin devastating like glimpse the unthinkable cheap and greatly effective

Author: Jackson

Comment:

im playing cackling populate. But i don't think biovisionary has a place in any standard deck..

Author: Francis Lapierre

Comment:

Blue has destroy effects now?? geez ENOUGH with over powering blue damn it!

Author: Vic20

Comment:

Dorks, card draw, biovisionary, Infinite Reflection ;P

Author: Hmm

Comment:

dose cipher stack?
i mean when you cast a spell with cipher, and encode it on a creature that will then deal damage thus triggering cipher and you cast the spell again, includeing the cipher ability? you know makeing it encode the same spell on another creature or the same creature again? and again?

Author: anosmianAcrimony

Comment:

Currently the title for the card Prime Speaker Zegana reads "Prime Speaker _of_ Zegana". Would someone please rectify this?

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Thanks for catching that and letting us know. We've corrected the title in our system.

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Since part of the cost of the Cipher ability is exiling the card, I don't think you can use the Cipher ability once the spell has been encoded on a creature.

Author: anosmianAcrimony

Comment:

Wow, that was quick. You're welcome!

Author: Zephan

Comment:

Hear me out, go primarily two colors, green and blue, splash in white. Counterpart, Sundering Growth (Sideboard), Druid's Deliverance, O-Ring, Bonds of Faith, Biovisionary, Thragtusk, Trostani, Arbor Elf, Breeding Pool, Temple Garden, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Hinterland Harbor etc. It's an impressive ramp, good control, strong offense, and foreseeable win condition.

Author: Rasputin101

Comment:

Pongify's a blue destroy that's been around for ages. Same effect but you gt an ape instead of a frog lizard. Love them both

Author: Senyac

Comment:

You can and it does stack

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Maybe we're reading the question wrong but you cannot encode the copy of the spell with Cipher. If the spell gets cast then encoded on a creature and that creature deals damage, you can cast a copy of the spell for free, but you will not get to encode that copy of it on another (or the same) creature. However, the original copy does stay encoded on the creature, meaning you can cast it again for free again the next time the creature deals combat damage to a player.

Author: Donnie Adams

Comment:

hey can you Cipher a Keyrune....???

Author: Donnie Adams

Comment:

an unblockable keyrune on cipher is over powered but not something you would think to be a permanent effect on a keyrune

Author: Hideki

Comment:

How does Nightveil Specter hability works? If it's a land card I can play it too? when I play it, it banish or I can keep playing it for the rest of the game?

Author: BOOOBAAKABOOSH

Comment:

you may play it even if it is a land but you cannot if you played a land that turn

Author: Hideki

Comment:

And I can play it from that point until the end of the game?

Author: Violinwarlord

Comment:

any ideas for edh decks

Author: hideki

Comment:

Ooze Flux, imagine if you already have 4 or 5 creatures with Evolve... you can create a 4/4 creature with 1G... will be nice to play in pre...

Author: Hammerfall18

Comment:

Just thought about a fun combo of enter the infinite and omniscience ^^

Author: Andrew

Comment:

Besides Aurelia's Fury, I gotta give the win to Simic. I honestly think it'll be the best/most fun guild to play.

Author: Dusty Wilson

Comment:

If the creature that has a ciphered card dies, it would act like an enchantment and hit the graveyard as well?

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Since the encoded spell is just a copy of the original it just ceases to exist, much like when a token creature dies. The actual card that has the Cipher ability must be exiled in order to use Cipher.

Author: Joker

Comment:

Yes, with silverblade paladin of course !

Author: furfur93

Comment:

Why is Niv mizzet in this set any way that card should of been in rtr. They could of at least left it for dragons maze.

Author: misterguy

Comment:

somebody tell me why the orhov are good

Author: BRGW Player

Comment:

Aurelia with gisela. For a white red deck. One down side is you'd have to keep board control for a good while.

Author: pastagod

Comment:

yes you can but you must first use the two manna ability to turn the key-rune into a creature before you can cipher because the ability cipher requires you to target a creature the question I have is whether or not it still stays on the key-rune when it turns back into a artifact

Author: furfur93

Comment:

With the extort ability do you have to pay that one mana for each card that has extort or one manat for all cards in play that have it?

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

You can pay 1 for each instance of extort. For each 1 you pay your opponents will lose 1 life and you will gain 1 life. Lets say you have 3 creatures with extort and you cast a spell. You can choose to pay up to 3 mana. If you only pay 2, then your opponents would lose 2 life and you'd gain 2.

Author: furfur93

Comment:

I do not see how this guild even stands a chance against the rest if that's the casethey have nothing good they basically wasted their time even thinking about the orzhov

Author: furfur93

Comment:

Well if you throw in quicksilver amulet it could very well speed up the process

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

Enter the Infinite/mana ramp?

Author: Maximus

Comment:

if you have at last 3 creatures with extort (you have nice commons with extort to use), anything you cast of low mana on late game will become in a lighting helix to the face, i really like the ability into sealed mode.

P.D: It's great for sealed but you wont make a deck around extort in other decks

Author: Maximus

Comment:

Fun yes, but not powerful.

Author: Dunamos

Comment:

Alms Beast confuses me. Why is it rare?

Simic has the worest cards in this block...

I redid some of the cards that had bad imaging in their original upload in Magic Set editor:

Comment:

Actually the fastest way would be to use Cackling Counterpart and Paralell Lives, Seance, and growing ranks, Rootborn Defense, Druids Deliverance, and Jarad's orders, Treasured Find, Grizzly Salvage, Mulch, Unburial Rites.

Author: Guest

Comment:

I don't know why not one person that talks about Biovisionary and Cackling counterpart, does not think about or mention, Parallel Lives.

So the fastest way to win with this would be to use Cackling Counterpart and
Parallel Lives, Seance, Growing Ranks, Rootborn Defense, Druid's
Deliverance, and Jarad's orders, Treasured Find, Grizzly Salvage, Mulch,
Unburial Rites.

Because of how Seance works with Growing Ranks, When the triggers are put on the stack correctly, the second token that would be created by Growing ranks, stays around.

Also remember, Biovisionary just says the End Step, so whose turn it is, does not matter. And because Druids Deliverance and Rootborn Defense are both instants, if you Seance in a copy of Biovisionary with a Parallel Lives on the battlefield on your opponents turn, if they cannot get rid of it, cast rootborn defense, and or Druid's Deliverance during the opponents end step, it's pretty much an instant win.

Comment:

Why is my comment posted 2 times and why am I being labeled as Zephan?

Author: Matthew Collins

Comment:

Instead of that which is good I guess why not Cipher and Glaring Spotlight

Author: Evan

Comment:

Mana ramp to Omniscience to Enter the Infinite to Psychic Spiral. Good game,

Author: Ste

Comment:

Yes it works the same way counters do

Author: Ste

Comment:

No for the simple reason that every card will be broken

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

There are always going to be extremely bad rares/mythics in any set. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's good.

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

Does that mean that the spell copy has cipher? Oh my God, think of the possibilities! Invisible Stalker/Stolen Identity/Thragtusk would be even more OP!

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

Even with Omniscience, if I kill you before you can play Enter the Infinite, I win.

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

You cannot use Cipher on the copy of the spell since there is no card to exile. Check out Wizards of the Coast's article on Gatecrash Mechanics. The 3rd bullet point under the cipher section states "The copies created by the triggered ability can't be encoded on a creature."

Comment:

Kaalia or Vorosh the Hunter. We have Gisela, Battalion, Aurelia, Rakdos, Lord of the Void, Angelic Skirmisher, Deathpact Angel, Firemane Avenger...... Need I say more?

Vorosh goes Master Biomancer, Death's Presence, and any other stuff that adds/multiplies +1/+1 counters.

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

It If it's in creature form. It pops off after the turn ends.

Author: Zephyr

Comment:

I actually think that Dimir wins, just because of Cipher/Invisible Stalker/Lord of the Void/Glaring Spotli-

Glaring Spotlight/Assassin tokens. And the gold goes to Golgari! Or more specifically, Vraska......

Author: Matthew Collins

Comment:

In case anyone is interested I've already compiled an entire spoiler out of everything that's been released so far as well as I've used Magic Set editor to fix the pictures on a few of the cards that were just photos.

Author: Liam Binell

Comment:

Because it can be mean. any extra mana can go into triggers, and because you are gaining life, your opponent will have t deal with that, all the while losing life themselves. I'm thinking, at least in limited, decks with lots of low cost extort cards, so that you can focus on extort triggers instead of big creatures.

Author: Noname

Comment:

cipher isnt like an enchantment which can only be attached to a specific permanent type.

Think of it as more like Imprint. The cipher card is removed from the game and imprinted on a permanent, wether the permanent changes type the imprint stays regardless

Author: Vic20

Comment:

That really doesn't seem much faster than a few mana dorks, play a biovisionary, and then win with an infinite reflection.

i for one am dissapionted in gate crash and wish the new mechanics were better than this

Author: nicol bolas

Comment:

thank you SO MUCH for responding its great to know there is a card seller who cares about his customers

Author: nicol bolas

Comment:

could PWL make it so your mana points dont expire
and a great idea is for advanced search to have a in stock option

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

With the 1 year anniversary of our reward points program coming up we will be reviewing and evaluating its performance. We may decide to make some changes based on that evaluation (and we may not). We will certainly announce any chances we make as we make them.

We also have a re-design of our advanced search page planned for early this year. We will definitely consider your request for adding an 'in-stock' option to the set of filters.

Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions! We love hearing from our customers and visitors on how we can make Planeswalker's Library a better experience for everyone!

Comment:

So, for Signal the Clans, what happens if I DON'T choose three cards of different names? Do they go to the graveyard? Or do they get shuffled back in? I know there is a combo in there somewhere...

If you reveal 3 (or even 2) with the same name then they all get shuffled back into your library.

Author: Dustin Thomas

Comment:

What is an ideal deck to make for the prerelease?

Author: Rusty

Comment:

Quick question, would cipher and extort work together? Let's say I run Shadow Slice and encode it, if I deal damage with the encoded creature, would I be able to extort for the spell activated?

Author: PWLAdmin

Comment:

Based on the reminder texts for each you should be able to.

Author: Shabang

Comment:

not really. turn 1 experiment one turn two shambleshark. turn three drakewing krasis. turn four master biomancer. turn 5 bioshift three counters from experiment one onto biomancer. then every creature put onto the battlefield gets 5 1/1 counters

Author: JK

Comment:

Actually regarding that second token with Seance, whenever a token is put into play that is a copy of another token, it retains the same conditions of the original. For example, putting an Angel token into play with Geist of Saint Traft and populating it, the second token would come into play tapped and attacking, but leave play at the end of turn as well. Same with Thatcher Revolt, etc...
