Oh boy, sounds like this could be a set for me!

I assume Gollum will be a 2/1 for {B}

Sweet designs from what we see. And wizards is at it again trying to maximize the difficulty of categorizing cards. Is Frodo a mono white card? Or an Orzhov gold card? Here's to hope we see more, much more hybrid mana in this set.

Wow, Pokémon cards these days are harder ro read than white retro frame cards.

Yes, much better but I probably still wouldn't play it. It still requires to be heavily into a madness-like archetype. Personally, I would always look into cards like Faithless Looting, Burning-Fist Minotaur or Voldaren Epicure first, that are less reliant on a Rootwalla in your hand.

So, the set itself will be reprints in boosters, but there are decks alongside with partly new cards?

I disagree that 4 or 6 colors or no sorceries would be improvements. I think 5 colors is the perfect, sweet spot of enough variation and not too many factions for drafting and mana bases. And sorceries are a valuable design tool; instead of getting rid of them, they should've make instant a...

Yeah, at first, I thought it was comparable to Big Score, but then realized it is a 3-for-1 instead of a 2-for-2. 'They discard one at random and you draw two from their deck', basically, seems fine for a gold card at four mana and sorcery speed, BUT than there is also the ramp aspect. Imagine...

I've just learned that the legend reprints are like a bonus sheet, meaning we'll have one legend reprint in it's respective home plane's showcase treatment in every draft booster. That like the best news so far regarding this set, for me at least. It really makes drafting interesting (I loved it...

Team Rocket's Theft {2}{B}{R} Sorcery Exile the top card of target opponent's library and a card at random from their hand. You may play those cards until the end of your next turn. Create two treasure tokens. I have a hard time figuring out whether this card is bad, bonkers or anything between.

It is an upgrade over Telling Time ... but not a massive one. I don't think I'd want it over Opt, Consider, maybe even Thought Scour in some decks.

Huh, I guess I dismissed Stone-Seeder Hierophant too quickly for my Ravnica's 9th Disctrict cube, which utilizes only cards from the 'magic year' 05/06 and therefore has a pretty low powerlevel, where it might be good enough as printed. Not sure how much Gx superramp is a thing though. Okay...

90% of those cards are wildly off limits for me, lol

Chandra, Hone's Bacon

Digside {U}{B} Enchantment Whenever you discard a card for the first time each turn, create a treasure token. Whenever you discard a card for the second time each turn, draw a card. So wizards would probably don't print that design in an eternal world I'd guess, but how good is it in...

Why not Prismatic Vista Power level seems high enough for untapped fixing for sure

Yes, totally agree with Taamas and bootman. Counting cards like Figure of Destiny or Nightveil Specter as gold card seems very appropriate (as long as monocolor decks aren't relevant at least, at which point they become their own category).

I'd cut: Time Wipe for being so easily replaceable with a monocolor card Silumgar because I dislike hexproof and it doesn't do anything special Rakdos Cackler because it belongs in a hybrid (or mono) section Xenagos I guess ..? Finks because it's totally not a gold card as well Ashen Rider...

It has EIGHT lines of text. That's a lot for a card that often enough play like Suntail Hawk or Network Disruptor in my cube's white decks. And I've found delirium to be incredible annoying to track. People continuously have to track whether that one card was a sorcery or an instant or they...

I think I found the first definite test for me Swooping Lookout Flying Men+ have traditionally been good in my cube, and this one isn't only an evasive aggro dude, it's also an artifact. That's cool. And I've been looking for a less convoluted replacement for Topplegeist.
