Brigby said: Hi Everyone. I just spoke with the development team, and it would appear that this is how Treasures behave:"Whenever you match this support’s gem, a random card in your hand gains 3 mana. Whenever an opponent matches this support gem, a random card in your hand gains 2 mana and a random card in your opponent’s hand gains 2 mana."Treasures seem to be quite the Mana ramp tool, which should help offset the high Mana costs that some of these cards have.

speakupaskanswer said: This was raised before and I have to mention it again after looking over the cards: 1. After I remained hopeful after the preview cards, it turns out these cards really highly costed. Mostly overcosted, which is a bummer. Be ready for the onslaught of complaints about this!2. Isn't there anyone who would proof read these cards before releasing them? There is an embarrassing amount of spelling and grammar mistakes in here, my favorite being "Crew 2.n" on Fell Flagship. Ouch.Look, there are some nice cards and I can't wait to get any new content for this game after months of almost nothing, but I'm slightly worried anyway.Edit: Am I dumb, or are there no transformed versions of the double faced cards?

I would use Sky Skiff before this. Again. Until they also get changed. They said point blank that old cards are going to be rebalanced. We ought to accept that this set is the flavor of how all old cards will change.
Zzyzzx said: Geez, will a 31 mana cost card actually fill and cast with Dark Ritual...because the animation "looks" like it only gives 30...also asking for a friend who may or may not have said masterpiece.

donvnny45 said: Umm... This card seems counter-productive: Admiral Beckett BrassDeck: IxalanType: CreatureRarity: MythicWhile this creature is on the battlefield, other Pirates you control get +2/+2.When this creature deals damage, if you control 2 or more Pirates, gain control of the first creature your opponent controls.So its' only useful if the other guy has a pirate on the board, otherwise you negate one of the abilities that would justify the 26 mana cost.

James13 said: I noticed a number of playable to good cards on my first pass. Few in terms of creatures, though. But there were a couple notables even there.A lot of cards will simply be collectors items at this point, but there are others I'm interested in.I want to see the flip side of the "land" flips. Those seem to be missing from the gallery.A number of typos and questionable/ambiguous language choices. And some confusing effects. Example: "Whenever a non-token pirate enters the battlefield, reduce it's cost by 2" : Huh? You've already payed for it at that point...?Overall, I'm still intrigued. There are some cards I want to try. Not quite as exciting as other previews, but I think there are a couple clear gems.
