Yay, the game finally has easily accessible Silence!

And of course it's in Ionia, aka the Fun Police region!

I'm actually non-sarcastically very happy that we finally have another answer to things like Ledros, not to mention the …

Note that it's Targon, not Ionia.

Works great with the support cards from both regions, though, and perfect vanilla stats to begin with.

They sure are printing a lot of ways to bait out the pings.

"Answer it if you can; you're in big trouble if you can't" seems to be the main theme in Ionia now.

As someone who has never played LoL and has never seen the artwork from that game, this seems fine to me. I think a lot of people are confusing "not what I'm used to" with "bad."

As for the …

I like 1-drops that make you happy to be attacking on evens.

If this card were harder to remove, it would be massively OP. The squishy body is the only thing that allows them to combine Elusive and Support in one card.

Also consider: If your opponent pings this instead of …

Not sure, but I think I would be quite willing to pay 2 mana to remove the restriction from [runecard]Take Heart[/runecard].

I'm just so glad to get another region with decent buffs!

Is this better or worse than [runecard]Mentor of the Stones[/runecard]? Hard to say.

Gems are kind of a weird animal, and I'm not sure how many you really want. I mean, [runecard]Arbiter of the Peak[/runecard] obviously loves them, but …

1 health is immidiate yellow card... but it generates 3 cheap spells (which is great) and if it lives, it grants +2/+2 on support.

Tough to judge.

1 …

Not as broadly useful as the [runecard]Gift Giver[/runecard], and you'll have to work a bit too hard to get multiple gems out of it.

Even in a buff/support deck, there are much better options for 2 mana.

Allows you to contest the early board while supporting many key archetypes. Excellent.

Seems stronk.

Very easy to level up, and insanely powerful when he gets there. [runecard]Fiora[/runecard] has a new best friend.

If you're up against a Freljord deck that doesn't run any Fast spells, what else are you going to use it on?

You're going to include [runecard]Bastion[/runecard] (or [runecard]Deny[/runecard]) to protect your units from magic. You can't know ahead …

When a card says "Do X to do Y," the X part must be possible before the Y part can happen, and the X part happens regardless of whether the Y part actually goes off.

With [runecard]Noxian Fervor[/runecard], it's …

To answer my own question: Yip confirmed via Twitter that SpellShield does NOT cancel the whole spell, only the part that affects the protected unit.

It does a LOT of things Deny cannot do.

Such as?

Protect a unit from Frostbite, which is something that exists nowhere else in …

By the way -- Yip confirmed via Twitter that SpellShield stops only the effect on the unit it protects. It does not cancel the entire spell the way [runecard]Fizz[/runecard] does.

Quote From Vino

If that's a perma - buff then it's a really good card.

Might be the best support card at 2 mana.

There's no question -- as pointed out by one of …

Meh, whatever, you got your hype.

Still have to wait until august 28th?

My hype has already pretty died out this week with all the waiting think they really should have teased at least small bits already.
