Im expecting dual lands or a new land type because of the 23 basic search. That makes 20 basic forest-swamp lands and +3 another basic or its in the card text. But there are so many land search that concludes that there might be new dual lands. 
Poison came out of the search just only 2. Maybe there are poisonous in this block but if you try to search poisonous, 0 is the answer. Shadoowmoor has synergy to Lorwyn block because of the tribes and races. Something just shocked me about the Scarecrow creature type.  I don't know if it is an artifact or to all color it applies. Treefolks seem to extinct. So many hybrid cards in this block. I guess the Rare white card that has 4 words in its text is like "Destroy all Hybrid Cards". Might be ^^,
Oh well, just use the orb of insight located in
www.magicthegathering.com
to be amazed to more shadowmoor features. ^^,

You can only put 1 word text. No spaces.

As for casting cost
R/B, 2/B, 1UU

OK...happy forseing!! ^^,

More Shadowmoor Pre-Previews

The preview of the Demigod of Revenge makes me itch more with Shadowmoor and still itching for more. I saw this product photos of Shadowmoor from MTG salvation forums.

Firstly we have the booster box.

You can see clearly that it is a kithkin riding in a pig-like creature. I dont know if it is the rumorous Mistmeadow Skulk but it is sure that Mistmeadow Skulk will be printed in this new block.

Next we have the Precontructed Deck box.
You can see in the box it is like a elemental creature that will rock the scene in Shadowmoor. Seems not friendly to me. Look at the Precon boxes, one is White/Blue, White/Green and Red/Green. Based on the facts we see, we expect more hybrid cards from Shadowmoor that my consist of these colors.

I must assume that the clan names have changed.
Mistmeadow from Mistmeadow Skulk is a combination of Mist, that is a faerie blue clan, and Meadow, from Goldmeadow clan from white kithkins. From the preview pack you can read the wilt-leaf. Well it is a hybrid of White/Green, Gilt-Leaf is from the elves of green and the wil attached to it will be a white one. Another is Ballynock, Bally from Ballyrush, a white kithkin too and nock is I forsee is from a red clan. Wanderbrine is another one to look at, it is a hybrid blue/black and wander came from wanderwine of merfolks of blue and brine is will be a black clan.

Here's the photo of the Tournament Pack Box.

OK lets be not to excited. You can see the picture of a faerie like creature and a very likely creature to be called Oona. oh yeah, Oona will be featured in Shadowmoor, less likely in Lorwyn block. Damn she look fabulous.

And the FAT PACK.
All I want to say is "THEY ARE GIVING 8 PACKS PER FAT PACK NOW!!!" OMG!!!!!! I like the color theme, it's so dark and gloomy! yeah, my predictions are right that Shadowmoor might be a torment like block. I can't wait to get my hands in these babies!!

I also want to conclude. For what MaRo said that there will be 2 cards reprinted in Shadowmoor from Future Sight. Well, Take a look at this

See, Hybrid Pump of Black/Red or this card
Hybrid too. ^^,. oh well, never stop to forsee the future of magic !!
I'll leave you hanging in there and wait until April 1, 2008 for the sneak peeks!!!!

Shadowmoor "Pre-preview" of a sample pack


oh yes you can see the "Demigod of Revenge" card. Guess what block it is coming out? You're are right ! Shadowmoor it is, if you can Magic the gathering website you can access a Shadowmoor booster and what is inside of the 15 card booster. Even though not all of the card a filled with its card text, just their names and casting cost. Specially this rare card that they let us see.

Looking at its card text, it says Flying and Haste. Thats a very good card for me because all flying creatures with haste are pain in the head. You can see to it is a Hybrid card that has a casting cost of 5. What I mean it is 5 to cast of Red and/or Black mana. 5 to cast flying and haste creature? That will add to the pain. Comparing to Bogardan Hellkite? This may even some odds in the meta game. Lets look at its power and toughness, It has a power of 5 and toughness of 4. 5 to cast flying, haste and 5/4? Not blocking this creature when it is attacking may end the game instantly. Its more powerful than the colossus, and now lets see the ability it does. "When you play Demigod of Revenge return all cards named Demigod of Revenge from your graveyard to play." Huuuwhat!?!?!.. Whenever this card lands the game, it returns all other Demigods of Revenge cards in the graveyard. Saying playing 1 and 3 card in your graveyard, then attacking of these for 20 damage. OH nose!!!

That Pre-preview will sure itch our spines for the release of this card and others that can be seen in the Mtg website.

Post some comments for this card and other unknown cards seen there.
