Enjoy!

[mecha man]

i can already see elves owning even more o.0 lol , the new elf stuff is really good. especially 3/4 for 3 mana w/vigilance?

[The Boss]

I'm not sure how I feel about the Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers to be honest. You have more effecient creatures like Wren's Run Vanquisher and Imperious Perfect already, which have really good abilities. The only was I see this new card being played is if there is something to make it even bigger (and mabye give it trample).

[ShadowZ]

personally I am not a fan of the untap symbol, seems really gimmicky, even though the template without it would be a bit odd.

[The Boss]

I think they should have just made it the tap symbol except facing the opposite way. No reason to change things up on us like that...

[hachihyaku]

Godhead and Cavaliers will hopefully stop people whining about Tarmogoyf for awhile. And Godhead will hopefully get people to actually learn freaking layers for once.

[The Boss]

That would def be nice!

I can imagine that being confusing at a glance, though. As well as that, the arrow would still be pointing down. As it is, it's simply flipped, rotated ninety degrees, and colour-inverted, which is actually the least they could reasonably do with it.

This list misses the Serrated Biskelion update from the main page sidebar, by the way. I've been expecting a Biskelion update for years, I wonder what took so long. Dangitt, why didn't I tell anyone, I'd look like such a god right now.

Yay cinders! I can finally call them by their real name!

Persist is nice. I doubt that scarecrow is the peak of its power, there'll be something niftier with triggered abilities up the wazoo no doubt.

[The Boss]

Grim Poppet has been added.

It seems like a really good limited card I must say.

[enjoyonionrings]

Grim Poppet: The next Triskelion/Triskelavus. Oh wait, nevermind.

I like the untap symbol.

[The Boss]

Yea, I def don't think poppet will be the next trisk. Just doesnt get there enough.

[Justmcnew]

Oh nevermind. -_-

[hachihyaku]

Not really, they still get the bonuses. Elves will all start off 1/1, but they'll still get +1/+1 from the lords.

See the layering rules, which I'm sure will get bookmarked if this card starts seeing play.

[Acardus]

Yeah. In addition, if they have their +1/+1 counters on they still have their boost. Other than that, it's a good card.

[The Boss]

Merged onto already existing thread. Guys, if you see the card has been spoiled already, don't make another thread. Lets keep the ol Rumor Mill organized so people arent repeating the same thing over again :p

Thanks.

[fireproof]

Godhead of Awe seeems way to powerful, anybody else agree?

Rhys the Redeemed is awesome especiall when combined with Elvish Promanade

[The Boss]

Godhead of Awe seeems way to powerful, anybody else agree?




I honestly don't agree. Its fine for its cost, but I think it will be in the same boat as Magus of the Moat (I did not intend for that to rhyme BTW).

Its kinda like Tolsmere (sp?) from Rav block.
