First Look at a Preview Card From Magic's New Core Set

Hey guys! I've got an idea!
We can use... WHALES!

This card may be terrible, but I'll run it anyways.
Also: This is new wording tech on 'Exile, then return later'

It's the Jonah Whale (bet that was its playtest name). You neglected to mention that the flavor is that this whale eats people every time it attacks 
Anyway, core set is looking great so far, I just really hope the ramp spells are there.

I can see this synergising well with [mtg_card=Finest Hour] or any other card that gives you a second combat phase.
No doubt it's going be a heavy hitter in Commander and Highlander though, due to its consistent removal.
Ether way I see some interesting combos coming from this guy.

I don't think they are saying the card is bad, just that for serious play most decks don't like using high mana cost cards (outside of green I assume) Also, I think exile is still exile just that's it's a location for cards to be and not necessarily one or two series of events that can happen to cards.Falterfire said:
If I remember right it sounds like they are removing some of the chaos that Slivers added but wasn't that half the fun?
You don't understand why this card's wording is important: With a card like Fiend Hunter the exile/return is two separate abilities. This means you can do something like Cloudshift in order to keep the card permanently exiled. It also means if the controller is killed in a multiplayer game the exiled cards never come back because the effect that would bring them back belongs to a player no longer in the game.Lucane said:
This is a new rules template, which is why I mentioned it. (Also this card is terrible. It's too much mana for not enough body and not enough effect)
Love the art, though the I think something that big would do more damage than a group of undead businessmen or a really big pig. Oh well, solid card for limited or casual.
Welcome to Magic, Monstro [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terrible_Dogfish].
The slivers bother me for the simple fact that they aren't Slivers in the artwork. They're clearly dudes: non-clawed arms; two legs; humanoid head... Slivers are more serpentine; sleek and efficient, with pointed, angular heads and talon-like forearms. Oh well... at least I can get excited about Archangel of Thune (aka. everyone is [mtg_card=Ajani's Pridemate]!, or [mtg_card=Spike Feeder]'s new best friend). Incidentally... does any one know if [mtg_card=Lightkeeper of Emeria]'s multikicker counts as separate life gain events or just one? Archangel of Thune makes that important...
