New Mechanic: Level Up

Lord of Shatterskull Pass 3R
Creature - Minotaur Shaman (R)
Level Up 1R (Play only as sorcery)
3/3
Level 1-5: 6/6
Level 6+: 6/6 Whenever ~ attacks, it deals 6 damage to each creature defending player controls.

It looks like the text box of these creatures has been redesigned to look a bit more like planeswalkers with three horizontal columns, one for each level band....

Cleaner design of the Figure of Destiny mechanic, although shame it's sorcery speed and that the gaps between levels that give abilities are so large. You spend a lot of time pumping mana into your dudes on your turn, and they'll die to instant speed removal at EOT. Strong for limited, but doubt they'll see play in constructed though.

Loads of these have been spoiled on the official wizards site. Don't know why they haven't filtered through to the spoiler web yet. Must've just been posted:

Quests? Adventuring Parties? LEVELS!?!? Did they give this block to their D&D designers by mistake?

I like how the art on the new Eldrazi creatures extends into the border. They've obviously been taking some cues from the altered card community!

Yeah I bet they will look good foil.

Puppeteer Clique wants to play against your Eldrazi deck.

the new eldrazi spoiler is silly.... : )

By the way, "level" is pronounced "man", in this context.
