Razor Boomerang

Razor Boomerang
Worldwake uncommon. The unfortunate recipient of a Razor Boomerang to the neck appears to be a Minotaur, which means that this card fits neatly in the ongoing series of cards that show Minotaurs being hurt.

Ricochet Trap

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day

Ricochet Trap
Worldwake uncommon. Ricochet Trap is unusual in that it’s a red card showing a blue mage casting a spell. But the spell is looping around the hedrons and coming back to hit the mage instead of it’s intended target! This was a cleaner way to convey the spell than attempting to show a red mage engaged in redirecting a spell.

Marsh Threader

Marsh Threader
Worldwake common. Marsh Threader parallels the very similar (in name and ability) Zendikar card Cliff Threader. In fact, a careful examination of the art suggests that they might be the very same threader, just relocated from the mountains to the swamp.

Quest for Ula’s Temple
Worldwake rare. Originally, Quest for Ula’s Temple only worked on Krakens, Leviathans, and Serpents. Then the presence of Lorthos, the Tidemaker in Zendikar forced R&D to add “Octopus” to the list of affected creature types.

Wrexial, the Risen Deep
Worldwake mythic rare. From the Worldwake FAQ: If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. On the other hand, if the card has additional costs (such as kicker or multikicker), you may pay those.

Bazaar Trader

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day

Worldwake rare. From the Worldwake FAQ: This effect has no duration. The targeted player retains control of the targeted permanent until the game ends, the permanent leaves the battlefield, or an effect causes someone else to gain control of it.

Death’s Shadow

Author: slookin Categories: Card of Day

Death’s Shadow
Worldwake rare. From the Worldwake FAQ: If your life total is less than 0 and an effect (such as the one from an opponent’s Abyssal Persecutor) is keeping you from losing the game, Death’s Shadow’s ability will actually increase its power and toughness. For example, if your life total is -2, Death’s Shadow gets +2/+2.
