The final form of the second leak card, Stellar Echo, was revealed
today. This creature churns out tokens
like no other card ever created. There’s
some real potential for confusion, given the possibilities. So, it’s very important to be clear about
which abilities each token has and doesn’t have. You’ll probably find yourself debating which
abilities to drop from the copies you make.
Since it’s reasonable to assume that your “optimal” pattern of making
tokens could change, you could find the board filled with very
different-looking stellar echoes.
After all, there are three possibilities for the first-generation
copies:
Each of those possibilities has their appeal. From left to right: the first is a good mix
of offense/defense perfect for taking out a 4/4 flyer by itself (with a flying copy
it makes); the second is the best replacement for the original if you smell a
cruel edict; the third is the offensive machine you need to go in for the
victory. And now for the
second-generation copies:
The pickins’ are a little slimmer here. But can you blame these poor inbreds? They just can’t match the power of their
grandparent, Stellar Echo the
first. From left to right: first we have
the army maker, then the stealthy one, and the evasive one. Yup!
Those are the tokens that can represent the various incarnations of
Stellar Echo. They may all share a name
and rarity and artist, and expansion symbol (did I miss anything?), but that’s
all they share for sure.
What’s that? It seems we
did forget one more very unremarkable-looking stellar echo. This black sheep of the family gets along by
name-dropping and borrowing large sums of money. He rides the legacy of his forebears and
spends all day getting high. He’ll never
amount to anything.
