Spoilers Galore for Scars of Mirrodin

Spoiler season is pedal to the metal currently and I can barely keep up with all the new cards. But while a half dozen or so cards come out each day, here are a few of the newest!

Prototype Portal

Worst case, you imprint a Memnite and get a free 1/1 every turn. Best case, this turns into some terrifying machine that pumps out Black Vise all day long. There’s a lot of interesting combo potential in this card but it could too easily become a 2-for-1 against you.

Trigon of Contagion

Don’t read German? Neither do I but Google Translate is getting pretty good.

Trigon of Contagion 4

Artifact

Trigon of Contagion enters the battlefield with three charge counters on it.

GG, T: Put a charge counter on Trigon of Contagion.

2, T, Remove a charge counter from Trigon of Contagion: Put a 1/1 green insect creature token with infect onto the battlefield.

Move over Serpent Generator – you just became horribly outdated! It’s a fun little uncommon and it looks like Phyrexia is more than just black and blue now. I’m guessing there’s going to be a cycle of these. Anyone else immediately think Triforce?

Throne of Geth

Just spoiled by MaRo himself. Could be very, very interesting in recursion combos. But all I can think is how amazing it would be under the old rules.

Engulfing Slagwurm

Minor Vorthos comment, but he’s a 7/7? Slagwurm Armor only is +0/+6! Also, this is the weirdest non-deathtouch, non-lifelink creature I’ve seen in a long, long time. But he is impervious to infect, first strike and trample since he devours them whole.

The final Planeswalker: Koth of the Hammer

Get used to emblems, because they’re here to stay! Anything that makes my Arch-Vanguard-Chase more hectic is fine by me! As MC Hammer’s first Planeswalker, Koth certainly sets himself apart from Chandra. But there’s nothing about this guy that blows me away and given that his preorder price is $50, I just have to laugh. He’s cool, unique and interesting but I don’t see him breaking open any format.
