I think expecting these to be exciting in cube and balanced as commanders at the same time is pretty unrealistic. The resource management game is vastly different in both environments, so there's a big difference between what is good in a 2-player draft game (Thoughtseize) and a multiplayer commander game (Plague Wind).
Oohh. Why couldnt it have been 1R and a 2/1? Is copying really that good in eternal? It cant be?
I thought teferi was cool.

Think about all those spells snapcaster copies, then think about how awesome it would be if you didn't need to pay mana for them or even have the play them in your deck.
Having a fork that gives you a dude without a RR casting cost would be been an eternal superstud.

, it's probably just red and only blue is allowed to have 2 drops that efficient lol.not paying is super sweet though!

Twinflame + Dualcaster Mage is cute (or Cackling Counterpart/Heat Shimmer)
It's official. Dualcaster Mage is the bee's knees.
No one will convince me otherwise.

Mark doesn't like it, as 6 flying power in green, which is supposed to be the worst color at it. He said they 'snuck it in' to the m15 file when he was done with it.
And slapping in a reprint is pretty different than a new design for them- new cards get flashed around and tested endlessly (in the wrong ways, likely)

Flesh Carver - 2B
Creature - Human Wizard
Intimidate
1B, Sacrifice another creature: Put two +1/+1 counters on Flesh Carver.
When Flesh Carver dies, put an X/X black Horror creature token onto the battlefield, where where X is Flesh Carver's power.
2/2
Malicious Affliction - BB
Instant
Morbid — When you cast Malicious Affliction, if a creature died this turn, you may copy Malicious Affliction and may choose a new target for the copy.
Destroy target nonblack creature.
There certainly is some power level here. While sac outlets that cost 2 mana are normally nothing to talk about, throwing intimidate a growing threat that leaves behind a potentially massive token seems to make it worthwhile. Not sure if I want to run this, or file it away with ophiomancer is obnoxiously pushed 3 mana black creature.

As much as I like Maro's work, and his strict policing of the colour pie, I'm also glad that the other designers and developers are finding ways to sneak things past or through him once in a while. A little bit of colour bleed every now and then is probably not going to be the thing that breaks Magic; for my money, I think Phyrexian mana was closer to breaking stuff than any of the hornet themed cards.
Well...I like the 3 mana sac outlet. Idc if it costs 2 mana to activate, I like it!
Idk if there's much else I like though...
The 7 mana demon that kills anything & makes zombies is cool. It's like they said "LET'S MAKE IT DO ALL THE BLACK THINGS!!! ZOMBIES, KILLING STUFF, BEING A DEMON! YEAAAAA!"

some of those cards are bananas!
i really like the "Angel of Despair" that makes a 2/2 zombie right away, seems like a perfect upgrade over Sheoldred without being Grave Titan oppressive
edit: ninja'ed argh

Flying
When Angel of Dire Hour ETBs, if you cast it from your hand exile all attacking dudes
Brutal, m8
So is there gonna be some "7 mana cool control bomb" creature cycle?
Cuz "EVERYTHING ATTACKS 5EVER" dragon has me a bit aggravated if that's the only new dragon they're releasing in this.

This looks like a lot of fun.

Also can't you just like, return a fetchland, sac it immediately and then get another 5/3?
