Creature - Bird Wizard 3/3, 4W (5)
Flying
{1}{G}{U}: Creatures you control gain shroud until end of turn.
They are cautious with their body language and facial expressions. Any stray movement could betray the positions of the troops they protect and cost many lives.
Illus. Mark Zug

Enchantment - Aura, 2W (3)

Enchanted creature has flying, first strike, and vigilance.
As his new wings lifted him high above Bant, Taric felt his earthly aspirations transform into heavenly resolve.

Creature - Bird Soldier 2/X, 2W (3)
Flying
Domain - Aven Trailblazer's toughness is equal to the number of basic land types among lands you control.1
"The bird wore the form of a man, bereft of filigree. Why do the Texts not speak of it?"
—Belator of Esper
Illus. Chris Rahn
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
- 2/1/2009: How many lands you control of a particular basic land type is irrelevant to a domain ability, as long as that number is greater than zero. As far as domain is concerned, ten Forests is the same as one Forest.
- 2/1/2009: A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don't count the number of lands you control -- they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you'll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.
- 2/1/2009: Aven Trailblazer's second ability is a "characteristic-defining ability." It applies at all times in all zones.

"This new chaos confounds us. We must fling it into our winds, our storms. These we can control."

Artifact Creature - Homunculus 1/1, W (1)
Court Homunculus gets +1/+1 as long as you control another artifact.
Mages of Esper measure their wealth and status by the number of servants in their retinues.
Illus. Matt Cavotta

Artifact Creature - Gargoyle 1/2, 1W (2)
Flying
{B}: Darklit Gargoyle gets +2/-1 until end of turn.

Illus. Howard Lyon

Instant, 4W (5)
Creatures you control get +1/+2 until end of turn. Untap those creatures.
Basic landcycling {1}{W} ({1}{W}, Discard this card: Search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.)
Illus. Matt Stewart
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: Unlike the normal cycling ability, basic landcycling doesn't allow you to draw a card. Instead, it lets you search your library for a basic land card. You don't choose the type of basic land card you'll find until you're performing the search. After you choose a basic land card in your library, you reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
- 2/1/2009: Basic landcycling is a form of cycling. Any ability that triggers on a card being cycled also triggers on a card being basic landcycled. Any ability that stops a cycling ability from being activated also stops a basic landcycling ability from being activated.
- 2/1/2009: Basic landcycling is an activated ability. Effects that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle or Rings of Brighthearth) will interact with basic landcycling. Effects that interact with spells (such as Remove Soul or Faerie Tauntings) will not.
- 2/1/2009: You can choose not to find a basic land card, even if there is one in your library.

Instant, 2W (3)
Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.
Without a connection of mind and body, magic is just an idea stuck in the head, a word on the tip of a tongue.
Illus. Anthony Francisco

Enchantment, 1W (2)
Prevent all noncombat damage that would be dealt to creatures you control.
A paragon of honor, Galo Aher fell to a blast of fire. The Order of the White Orchid was so saddened that they forged a new sigil in his likeness.
Illus. Sal Villagran
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: "Noncombat damage" is damage dealt as the result of a spell or ability. (In unusual cases involving a card like Words of War, noncombat damage can also be dealt as the result of a turn-based action.)
|

Sorcery, XWW (2)
Put X 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, destroy all other creatures.1
Their war forgotten, the nations of Bant stood united in the face of a common threat.
Illus. Greg Staples
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: Martial Coup checks the number you chose for X, not the amount of mana you actually spent.
- 2/1/2009: You do what the spell says in order. If X is 5 or more, you'll put the Soldier tokens onto the battlefield, then you'll destroy all other creatures.
- 2/1/2009: No one can cast spells or activate abilities between the time the Soldier tokens are put onto the battlefield and the time all other creatures are destroyed. For example, you can't sacrifice one of those Soldier tokens to regenerate a Skeletal Kathari.

Creature - Rhino Soldier 4/4, 5W (6)
Trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control a blue permanent, you may put a token that's a copy of Mirror-Sigil Sergeant onto the battlefield.1
"If I had many lives, I would give them all for Bant."
Illus. Chris Rahn
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: The "intervening 'if' clause" means that (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless you control a permanent of the specified color, and (2) the ability will do nothing unless you control a permanent of the specified color at the time it resolves.
- 2/1/2009: Normally, when a token is created by this ability, it will simply be a Mirror-Sigil Sergeant, so it'll also have the token-creating ability. (See the other ruling for weird exceptions.) At the beginning of your next upkeep, if you still control the original Sergeant, the token copy, and a blue permanent, you'll get two more token copies; the turn after that you'll get four; then eight; and so on.
- 2/1/2009: Here's the detailed version of what happens. As the token is created, it checks the printed values of the Mirror-Sigil Sergeant it's copying -- or, if the Mirror-Sigil Sergeant whose ability triggered was itself a token, the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield -- as well as any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won't copy counters on the Mirror-Sigil Sergeant, nor will it copy other effects that have changed Mirror-Sigil Sergeant's power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
- 2/1/2009: If Mirror-Sigil Sergeant has left the battlefield by the time its triggered ability resolves, you'll still put a token onto the battlefield. That token has the copiable values of the characteristics of Mirror-Sigil Sergeant as it last existed on the battlefield.
- 2/1/2009:

Creature - Cat Warrior 5/4, 5W (6)
Vigilance
{R}, {T}: Target creature can't block this turn.
{G}, {T}: Target creature blocks this turn if able.
"We must hunt and kill the dragon before it can return to raze our ancient city."
Illus. Steve Prescott
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: If either ability is activated after blockers have been declared, it won't cause those blocks to change.
- 2/1/2009: If you attack with Nacatl Hunt-Pride, you get the chance to activate one of its abilities before blockers are declared.

Creature - Human Knight 2/2, 2W (3)
First strike
{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}: Until end of turn, Paragon of the Amesha becomes an Angel, gets +3/+3, and gains flying and lifelink.
"Let my lance sing with the voices of angels and the heathen cower before my shield, for I will teach this land the meaning of honor."
Illus. Chris Rahn
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: When Paragon of the Amesha's activated ability resolves, Paragon of the Amesha will gain flying and lifelink in addition to its other abilities. However, becoming an Angel will make it lose all other creature types. It will no longer be a Human or a Knight.
- 2/1/2009: If Paragon of the Amesha gains flying after blockers have been declared, it won't cause those blocks to change.
- 10/1/2009: You can activate Paragon of the Amesha's ability more than once during a turn. The second time it resolves, it will get another +3/+3 and gain another instance of lifelink. However, multiple instances of lifelink are redundant so you won't gain extra life from the new one.

Instant, W (1)
Exile target creature. Its controller may search his or her library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle his or her library.1
Illus. Todd Lockwood
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: If the targeted creature becomes an illegal target by the time Path to Exile would resolve, the entire spell is countered. The creature's controller won't get to search for a basic land card.
|

Creature - Rhino Monk 2/4, 3W (4)
When Rhox Meditant enters the battlefield, if you control a green permanent, draw a card.1
The weight of her conviction balances on the harmony of her soul.
Illus. Donato Giancola
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: The "intervening 'if' clause" means that (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless you control a permanent of the specified color, and (2) the ability will do nothing unless you control a permanent of the specified color at the time it resolves.
|
|
Artifact, 1WW (3)
{W}, {T}: Tap target permanent.
"Whether or not you will bow to me is not open to debate. The question is, will I ever let you rise?"
—Fridius, telemin master
Illus. Howard Lyon
|
|
Enchantment, 3WW (5)
Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, put a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield.1
When Asha left Bant, she ensured that the world would have protection and order in her absence.
Illus. Cyril Van Der Haegen
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: The triggered ability will resolve before the enchantment spell that caused it to trigger.
- 2/1/2009: When you cast an Aura spell, you have to choose a target for it before this ability puts an Angel token onto the battlefield. In other words, you can't play an Aura spell intending to enchant the Angel that will be created as a result.
- 2/1/2009: Castng Sigil of the Empty Throne won't trigger its own ability. It has to be on the battlefield for its ability to work.

Creature - Human Soldier 0/3, W (1)
As the outsiders invaded Bant, soldiers who once saw sigils as the highest marks of glory began to see the scars of battle as tokens of equal worth.
Illus. Chris Rahn

Creature - Spirit Wall 1/6, 3W (4)
Defender, flying
At the beginning of your end step, you may gain life equal to the power of target creature you control.1
The lives of elves are long, but their memories are longer. Even after death, they do not desert their homes.
Illus. Wayne Reynolds
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 2/1/2009: This ability triggers and resolves before "until end of turn" effects have worn off.
