Worldwake Spoilers Begin — New Jace Confirmed!

By ManaNation.com ⋅ December 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅ Print This Post

Update: Wiz­ards ran a ‘Planeswalker Chase’ from Dec. 14th-19th in which they revealed the com­plete ‘Jace, the Mind Sculptor’

A sharp eyed indi­vid­ual noticed that www.parkage.com had listed five World­wake Intro decks, and from them we’ve gained a few spoil­ers for the upcom­ing Magic set, World­wake. Among them is a con­fir­ma­tion that we are indeed get­ting a new form for Jace Bel­eren, as Trick pre­dicted in his big pre­dic­tion arti­cle a few weeks back.

Pack d’Intro World­wake : Crocs du chef de Sang (français)
Pack d’Intro World­wake : Force brute (français)
Pack d’Intro World­wake : Mitraille (français)
Pack d’Intro World­wake : Roy­aumes Mys­térieux (français)
Pack d’Intro World­wake : Sur­vol (français)

Here are some high­lights of what was learned:

  • Smother — A pre­vi­ously pow­er­ful removal spell is being reprinted in World­wake.
  • New Kicker vari­ant — MaRo teased the new Kicker vari­ant say­ing it was ‘kicker with­out [blank]’ and we believe that [blank] to be ‘limit.’ With the ‘multi-kick’ abil­ity you can kick the spell mul­ti­ple times, so long as you can pay the nec­es­sary cost.
  • Angel that is a Land­fall Obliv­ion Ring — It looks like there is an angel that, when a land enters the bat­tle­field, it will exile tar­get per­ma­nent. And when the angel leaves play returns them all to the battlefield.
  • Kird ape style crea­tures — Crea­tures which become stronger based on what lands you control.
  • An unnamed sor­cery which allows you to both draw a card and play an extra land on your turn.
  • Jace, Mind-Sculptor — The new Jace vari­ant. We don’t know his col­ors yet, but his ulti­mate abil­ity will allow you to exile your opponent’s library. And his incre­men­tal abil­ity is to mill your oppo­nent for some amount. We don’t know his color(s) or any­thing more as of now.

You can read the orig­i­nal thread on MTGSal­va­tion here

We are work­ing on get­ting the Eng­lish lan­guage ver­sions of the intro pack descrip­tions which are the source of the new infor­ma­tion though we have been using the French lan­guage ones and hav­ing them trans­lated. As soon as we know more we’ll bring it you.

Man­a­Na­tion was the first site to bring you infor­ma­tion about ‘World­wake’ and pre­dict it as the name of the sequel to Zendikar.

Update: From the orig­i­nal under­stand­ing, we had been pos­si­bly been led to believe that Wiz­ards would include a Mythic rare in the intro packs. Due to the com­ment below we removed that part. It was fur­ther con­firmed by a tweet from @dai­lymtg say­ing, “(Monty) World­wake Intro Packs will not con­tain mythic rares. Well, Unless there’s one in the booster pack that’s included, but that’s random”

  1. I don’t think that Wiz­ards is includ­ing a Mythic Rare in intro packs.

    The links above state that the decks include a foil rare, a non-foil rare, 7 uncom­mons and 32 commons/lands. Nowhere in there does it men­tion the inclu­sion of a Mythic Rare.

    Fur­ther­more, if you take a look as the offi­cial descrip­tions of pre­vi­ous Intro Packs, Wiz­ards has a habit of men­tion­ing other cards in the set (or pre­vi­ous sets) which would work great within the deck’s con­text. Yes, one of the decks above men­tion Vam­pire Noc­tur­nus, but so did “Rise of the Vam­pires”, which came out in Zendikar, and did not include said Mythic.

    Oth­er­wise, the rest of what you’re say­ing seems accu­rate, and I’m quite excited for Worldwake.

  2. The inclu­sion of the new Jace is what led me to believe that it was the inclu­sion of Mythic rares, not the descrip­tion of foil / non-foil.

  3. Actu­ally the French text does not allude to a new man-land, but rather to a card that can turn a land into a crea­ture. Still, lots of fun stuff in this set.
