(Source: Wizards.com)   Colossus of Akros – Theros. As a creature without flying, our big Golem here is susceptible to being hit with an Earthquake. No matter how much mana gets pumped into that X spell, though, the Colossus’s indestructible will keep it around. Why mention such a basic rules interaction? Well, surviving that huge Earthquake spell is a lot better than what happened to the Colossus’s real-world inspiration, which was brought low by an earthquake in 226 BCE (fifty-six years after its completion).

(Source: Wizards.com) Shipbreaker Kraken – Theros. Release the Kraken… to lock down opponents’ creatures! There are lots of ways to tap one or more creatures in Magic and prevent them from untapping, usually until their controllers’ next untap step. I mean, lots. Dungeon Geists and Tidebinder Mage are the first creatures to lock down others like this when they enter the battlefield, but the Kraken is the first to have that ability affect multiple creatures.   Join the Discussion HERE!  

(Source: Wizard.com) Ophiomancer – Commander(2013 Edition). Ophiomancer is not the first time we’ve seen “Ophi–” on a Magic card. Indeed, the first was Weatherlight’s Ophidian (a fancy New Latin word that means “snake”). If you’re interested in brewing a snaky deck, you’ll be happy to know there are currently sixty-four Snakes (four with deathtouch), five noncreature Snake cards, and a few thematically appropriate cards as well. Discuss today’s card HERE!
