Liliana & The Eldrazi Return to Eldritch Moon for MTG
July 7, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
In just a few weeks, we will see the second set of the Shadows Over Innistrad, Eldritch Moon, for Magic the Gathering - and I am excited!
The art on these cards looks absolutely awesome. I have to confess that I have not necessarily been the biggest fan of the Eldrazi in previous sets, purely based on looks alone, but these have my full attention.
I love that they look more organic and perhaps less alien. Of course they bring with them the brutally high stats, at equally high casting costs, but it may just be worth it.
But then again there are still angels- oh how I love angels (it's the wings). The art on these is brilliant, offering a bit more of the "good" side than in the first set. Did I mention there's an Eldrazi angel? (mind blown!)
And then there's planeswalkers. Liliana is making an appearance again, bringing with her the handy summoning power of zombies. If it's numbers you aim to bring onto the field, she'll be a tough one to deal with.
There's also Tamiyo, Field Researcher, who offers an extremely useful card draw ability along with an equally handy and likely very annoying, tap ability.
Lastly, the werewolves continue to run through this set, which will offer some really interesting dynamics on the tables - not to mention that the dual sided cards just look cool.
Eldritch Moon drops on July 22nd, and I have to confess, I'm counting the days.
What do you think of the prospect of Eldritch Moon?

I loved the Eldrazi the first time they appeared in the old Zendikar block. Loved them when they returned, and still love them now, in the Innistrad plane.
And I absolute love the artworks of this expansion, the new Emrakul art and Brisela’s are just mindblowing.
And don’t forget about sweet evil Liliana, she also has some of the best art of the block :
I’ve enjoyed the mechanics of this set; I haven’t enjoyed the direction the story has taken and therefore the art. WotC have already come out and said they are aware they made a mistake with the story of Zendikar in that it involved the Eldrazi, and that instead the plane should have been all about adventure (I’m curious if they ever return to Zendikar again considering how the story ended). The exact same mistake seems to have occurred with this block. People enjoyed the flip card mechanic of werewolves and vampires, and yet those have been replaced by transforming Eldrazi.… Read more »
Well Emrakul has turned some angels into abomination and they are really making him MtG multiverses version Cthulhu.
Will there be a dual deck for Shadows Over Innistrad?
