Yeah, it doesn't look like that 2nd ability on Sahili would have fit with the old wording. Wonder if she was the card that precipitated the change.

I like the flavor of using Servos to crew your vehicles, too. You can read "servo" as like the component, so isn't it kind of like making an automated race car?

I love the new wording. "Create a X token" is much simpler and easier to type. My database welcomes this simpler phrasing.

We've known that one's coming since we saw some judge promos early in EMN, but it's still neat to see it come in officially.

I am now imagining a crew driving a vehicle to drive an even bigger vehicle....

Er...you have 6x 1/1s. You use 4 of them for a Crew 4 vehicle, and the remainder for a Crew 2 vehicle. You then use the Crew 4 vehicle and the Crew 2 vehicle for a Crew 6 vehicle.

Or you just use the 6 1/1s for the Crew 6 vehicle to start with...

Meld would be a better mechanic for that than Crew, so have both if you want something like that.

I'm reading this because it's interesting. I think. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over.

I think the crew vehicles will generally have higher power than you need to invest in them. So for instance, you could tap a 1/1 to crew that 6/1 drag racer, then tap the drag racer to crew the airship.

Hmmm yeah forgot that there's a 6/1 vehicle that is a Crew 1.

Nice story, i really like Kaladesh so far.

Also i want to point out the Artwork from (spoiler for the current story) Pia Nalaar is great especially when compared to the one with her husband

Someone's looking decidedly more wizardly.

The cloth does make the arm stand out more.

I also like that he's in the same kind of pose as the one in the original promo art of Saheeli.

I like that everyone on Kaladesh makes these incredibly intricate and gorgeous mechanical versions of living animals, and Tezzeret is just like "hey guys look at my robot murder bugs".

#8193: Sep 6th 2016 at 1:06:02 AM

Implying that he's been there for a while, and worked himself into a position of authority? Yeah.

#8194: Sep 6th 2016 at 1:46:44 AM

Bear in mind that we haven't seen Tezzeret in a set since before they put Extended to sleep. He's had plenty of time to do all kinds of things.

Durazno Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: Drift compatible
#8195: Sep 6th 2016 at 2:50:11 AM

He's probably in similar positions in other planes, do you think? Like a mid-level commander in New Phyrexia, the head inspector here, probably some kind of Horrible Trial Administrator in Amonkhet...

My knowledge is a bit rusty, but wouldn't Tezzeret be singled out immediately? He's not from Kaladesh in the first place, and his mechanical arm looked very Phyrexian-y last time I checked.

I'm glad he's back, though, I always liked the character.

Durazno Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: Drift compatible
#8198: Sep 6th 2016 at 3:25:04 AM

Well, since it's etherium, they probably just think he has a weird aesthetic for his filigree. I wonder if we'll see any Kaladeshi with bionic limbs?

With Nissa, Vital Force Now spoiled we have three of the four planeswalker cards from Kaladesh out in the world. We don't have abilities for Dovin Baan yet. The bad nissas and chandras from the intro decks were also spoiled. As expected, they are pretty much unplayable outside of their learning environment.

It's funny how Pyrogenius' first and second abilities are quite similar to Torch of Defiance's first and third.
