I am surprised we haven't see much yet for Poison, unless I've missed some leaks?

A pile of early leaks have dropped.

Great. God helps, if we would ever go cold turkey.

Please use [leak][/leak] tags around discussions of unofficial previews/leaked cards. Thanks!

Why people on twitter ask not to talk about leaks? Im glad to know because releases have financial impact on other cards, why people get mad? Disrespect to the designers and preview schedule? Im not against those people, just don't understand whats the problem, anyone know?

Most of the people on twitter think that it takes away (views? excitement?) from the people who were given the cards to spoil as a way to boost their channel/platform/whatever. Other people like to go into drafts without seeing the cards. They feel as if seeing the cards ahead of time ruins the surprise, al la seeing your presents before they are wrapped and you open them.

Feels like most simply look sites like MythicSpoiler to see the new cards instead of chasing multiple places that get the spoiler card

Yeah, I use Mythic as well, I don't bother scrolling around to see individual sites. The only time I go to individual sites is when I check the mothership for links to see who is waiting until the end of their 11:00 PM stream to preview the bulk uncommon they've been given. It's like, just spoil the thing, then do your little bit. Trying to get people to watch your content because they are waiting for your card just seems tacky to me. Start the stream by spoiling the card, then do your thing. I'd be much more likely to watch if you did that.

Which brings me to the LRR spoiler controversy when they had the Golgari Witherbloom deck. I think LRR can do whatever they want, and I'm a fan of the channel. I also think people who whined or raged in chat are losers and in the wrong. With that said, just spoil the dang commander deck, then have your regular stream afterwards. Obviously the people who lashed out in chat were in the wrong, but LRR should have just spoiled the deck in the beginning.

The problem is they overvalued their content in comparison to spoilers. Spoilers are far more exciting than any content a creator can produce. Sorry, but it's true. Start with the good stuff, and work your way down, not the other way around. Heck, if you start with the spoiled deck, you can make the content be deck techs, or play a game with it or something.

Huh. White Sun's Twilight had me in the first half not going to lie. Looks like it's actually a pretty good card. At first I groaned when I saw the infamous you gain... but it got better.

In addition to the other reasons mentioned, it's also for the same reason many people object to spoilers: because knowing out of context details about the story before getting the chance to read it can spoil the experience for them. Since Wizards specifically moved the presentation of the story forward to occur before the card previews to prevent precisely that, many players do not want to be forced by others to see details of the story out of context.

Y'all we compile previews on here too, there's no need to go to MythicSpoiler. We're much more diligent about sourcing.

Fastlands are decent in Modern and this brings those lands to Pioneer for the first time, which is a big deal for aggressive decks. They were getting up there in price, so this is a solid reprint for sure.

There are some pretty powerful cards in the leak. Amongst legends, I like the precon lead Ixhel, Descendent of Atraxa the best, being poisonous but encourages you to poison as many people as possible instead of ending one player quickly, while capable of ending the game when it comes to 1v1.

I always thought the issue with leaks was seeing cards/mechanics out of context. Like the colorless mana symbol from Oath of the Gatewatch was leaked and people were going nuts with theories on what it meant.
Sometimes it is better to wait for spoilers to start officially just so you don't misinterpret leaks without context from WOTC.

I mean....I don't see autocarding working for any of the new cards people are mentioning, yet I can see the spoilers on mythicspoiler right now.

I'd love to use Nexus to view spoilers, but mythicspoiler is a lot quicker to post them. Maybe Nexus doesn't want to host leaks which is fair enough, but I want to see those leaks, soooooo.........

Boros precon will hopefully bring many random ass cards for General Ferrous Rokiric only traded cards deck I own. I know at least the face commander I will try to hunt down, hopefully they have one bomb ass chase card that make people buy and trade the rest 🙈

The whole set might leak at this point. I feel so bad for Wizard staff.

i preordered the abzan deck and am blindfolding myself re spoilers so it's fun to open
