Scars of Mirrodin Planeswalker: Venser, the Sojourner

The other Scars of Mirrodin planeswalker, besides Koth and the new Elspeth. Venser, the Sojourner might be a good addition to control decks. Or it might be quite unplayable. It's early to say.

Scars of Mirrodin Planeswalker: Koth of the Hammer

Here's the first Planeswalker from Scars of Mirrodin, named Koth of the Hammer. A great addition to red decks. It looks good and will work great in mono-red decks. It burns like a lava.

Scars of Mirrodin Visual Spoilers: A Kind of Blue

Three new blue spells from Scars of Mirrodin. They look nice, especially Thrummingbird, but I'm not sure about all this proliferate thing. I guess the best is yet to come, so expect more visual spoilers soon.

Scars of Mirrodin Visual Spoilers: Attack of the Myr

More Scars of Mirrodin visual spoilers. This time we present you the new Myr creatures, some of them reprint from the original Mirrodin.

Scars of Mirrodin prerelease card: Wurmcoil Engine?

A mythic rare, Wurmcoil Engine, has leaked and it looks like it's the Scars of Mirrodin prerelease card.

Artifact Creature - Wurm

Deathtouch, Lifelink

When Wurmcoil Engine is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a 3/3 colorless Wurm artifact creature token with deathtouch and a 3/3 colorless Wurm artifact creature token with lifelink onto the battlefield.

Two more Scars of Mirrodin visual spoilers

Two more Scars of Mirrodin cards leaked out. Kemba's Skyguard and Contagion Clasp. The second one introduces the new mechanic, 'Proliferate'.

Nice artwork.

It's good to see that Wizards are re-visiting old planes like Mirrodin. It was an outstanding plane, making the Artifacts stronger than ever. I just hope they will be re-visiting good old planes in the future. Can't wait for this one.
