#amonkhet hype

[commandtower]

Some more Amonkhet spoilers from the last couple of days, including some new Legendary creatures and some other nice new deckbuilding options. Definitely looks to be some spicy pieces in this set.

Oketra the True

Another of the Amonkhet Gods was revealed today, and she’s pretty strong overall. Oketra’s activated ability is beneficial on its own and quickly minimizes her drawback, and combining double strike with indestructible makes her a powerful force on the field. Interestingly, Oketra seems the most tuned to aggressive play of the Gods we’ve seen so far for the set. I look forward to seeing the decks built for her in Commander.

BINGO TIME

Alright guys, with all the Amonkhet stuff being spoiled today, it’s clear this show needs to get on the road before more things start being confirmed, so same as always, put your speculation below and I’ll get the card ready as soon as there are enough boxes. I’ll start us off:

Gideon dies, as @odric-master-swagtician suggested,

Bolas doesn’t show up until hour of devastation

Gold tokens make a return, possibly with a mechanic similar to @flavoracle‘s adorn.

The gods are the same colors as the Alara Shards

That’s all I’ve got for now. Remember speculation can be anything from story to mechanics to individual spells. 

Tagging some people to try to get the ball rolling. @flavoracle @bace-jeleren @commandtower-solring-go @animar-smol-of-elephants @elvish-memesmith @kayas-wife @werewolfpresbyterian @pepperjaq @tumblhurgoyf @voltaic-quicksilver @keranos-god-of-storm-crows @odric-master-swagtician
