Cabal Archon (2B)
Creature - Cleric
B, Sacrifice a Cleric: Target player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
2/2

Voidmage Prodigy (UU)
Creature - Wizard
UU, Sacrifice a Wizard: Counter target spell.
Morph: U
2/1

Wellwisher (1G)
Creature - Elf
Tap: You gain 1 life for each Elf in play.
1/1

Skirk Fire Marshall (3RR)
Creature - Goblin Lord
Protection from red.
Tap five untapped Goblins you control: Skirk Fire Marshall deals 10 damage to each creature and player.
2/2

Aurafication (2WW)
Enchantent
Whenever a creature deals damage to you, put a gold counter on it. Each creature with a gold counter on it is a Wall in addition to its other creature types. When Aurafication leaves play, remove all gold counters from all creatures.



Voidmage Prodigy is probably Kai Budde's card.

Aurafication is like a not so evil white No Mercy, me likey.

That red tribal card pretty insane.
(I wish they would reprint Goblin Lackey in Onslaught)

Skirk Fire Marshall - just a little... WRONG!!!
Voidmage Prodigy - here come the creature counters!!!
Wellwisher - I could see a coat of arms in this deck...
Aurafication - here comes the U/W control again...
Clone - not so bad of a threat.

Clone isn't the problem child of creature replicators, vesuvian doppleganger is.

And . . . Since clone was an uncommon, it wasn't subject to the reprint policy (which is why Serra and Sengir came back unfettered by policies).

Clone actually was subject under the old reprint policy because it wasn't reprinted in 4th.

I thought they didn't like copy cards since there's too much confusion regarding copies.

The Voidmage is nuts. I thought that a blue 2/1 for 2 mana wasn't supposed to happen. Oh, wait. It's supposedly Kai. That means the dude is rare. Never mind. Why have so many of the player-created cards been blue? :eek:

The Elf seems rare too, but who knows? All I know is that this tribal mechanic means we'll be getting a lot of congruent creature types.

Hmm... must get copy of Visara. She'll be a nice addition to my B3C (big bad black creature) collection. :cool:

Green, for now, is home to the Ophidian ability of drawing a card whenever a creature deals damage.

Awesome new cards, I really like how Onslaught shapes up :D

I guess all 5 colors will get an 8-cost kick-ass sorcery. Suddenly I'm glad I kept 4 Mirari's Wakes...

I'm glad to see that goblins are definitely back. The Piledriver made me laugh. I think merfolk are still in exile, given that the blue tribe seems to be Wizards. But we've got elves again. Lots of elves. Lots and lots of elves. Maybe Llanowar won't be missed too much, but I can't help but think how good it will be in an elf deck while it's still legal.

The Wayfarer looks like R&D's way of making a controlled Land Tax. Cute.

Are they sure that Chain of Acid can nuke all non-creature permanents? Are they absolutely sure? Will it cost 1G? Coz that's a potentially broken Armageddon if it is. If you have any sort of land parity with your opponent, then you've just destroyed every land he has and left yourself with mana on the table. Chain of Acid + Mystic Enforcer/Ernham Djinn look like a keeper.

Onslaught looks like a pretty interesting set. I could probably do some cute things with some of the cards listed here, if they turn out to be real.

(The Magic addiction has finally taken it's psychological grasp on another...)

Onslaught does look interesting,

but I want to do mean things, like pass my oppoent's deck through a paper shredder when he presents it to be cut... and hit their hand with a hammer each time they tap for mana... and morph - people I play against will look like they've morphed when I'm done with them...

What, no, leave me alone... I don't want any pills... you put me in this rubber padded room for solitary confinement and then you hospital people won't stop visiting me...

The new Kamahl is a freaking house. Sure he might be Timmy's dream card, but a reusable Overrun that doesn't tap for the effect? He's an absolute monster in many green decks that run fairly typical amounts of mana acceleration.

They should have named him
Kamahl, Fist of Casual

? ? ?

I don't get it...

First "Longhorn" becomes dirty, then "fist" becomes dirty?

I've been away too long... even though I get back here at least every three days...

He's good, but what about against four other people? Someon'll have some form of removal...

Y'know, at least his oink is bigger, now. He can't get flare'd or even shocked anymore!

He's now in Bolt/Hammer Range!

Creature type as a priority, red as a prime color, 8-cost 'Biggie' spells, and a standing Overrun? Somehow I feel partly responsible for some of the Onslaught decisions. If this is real, then they are more than forgiven for kicking out Invasion. If they make unique creature types, score one for the CPA!
