Frozen Aether

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day


Planar Chaos uncommon. Occasionally R&D brings back older cards (or variants of older cards) because the context of the new set puts some new spin on them (such as, for instance, Terror and Shatter in Mirrodin). The ability of this ???timeshifted??? Kismet takes on a whole new feel in suspend-heavy Time Spiral block, where haste is a lot more common ??? and thus making creatures come into play tapped may be more significant.

Roiling Horror

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day


Planar Chaos rare. The art concept behind Roiling Horror is that the creature is some strange manifestation of negative emotion. In some places the shapes of the horror can be made out as faces to reinforce that idea. Click here to see the art at larger size.

Ghost Tactician

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day


Planar Chaos common. The idea behind this creature is a benevolent ghost that inhabits the bodies of others, strengthening them and making them instruments for good (for a short time). Flavor-wise, it’s a complete reversal of the spell this shaper actually casts: Scare Tactics.
