Good Evening MTG peeps,
We should have been at OMG! Games here in Barrie, Ontario for our regular Friday Night Magic event tonight but we got hit by quite a blizzard and had decided against going out. Which is kind of lucky as we have a Gatecrash spoiler to report. We want to remind everyone again that this Magic: the Gathering spoiler is unofficial and you should only rely upon official previews over on the mothersite.
Forum member SeconDxSunRiisE was rather lucky this evening attending a Friday Night Magic Event at Xtreme Games in Illinois (likely not experiencing a snow storm). At the store, a player opened up a Return to Ravnica pack and found something rather special . . . a card from Gatecrash. Let's have a looky-loo . . .
Simic Fluxmage, 2U
Creature - Merfolk Wizard, Uncommon
Evolve (Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, if that creature has greater power or toughness than this creature, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
1U, Tap: Move a +1/+1 counter from Simic Fluxmage onto target creature.
1/2

First of all, we can confirm that this is bonafide art - check out our Tumblr post last month of Gatecrash posters featuring that sweet Merfolk art. We'll yatter more on this the new potential mechanic 'Evolve' in latter posts so stay tuned.
