    One of the things I've noticed in environments using "Hearthstone Mana" is that high-mana plays are more powerful than they usually are since players can play them on time guaranteed. As such, using a card as simplistic as the humble Colossal Dreadmaw as top end necessitates bumping up the power...

    The strongest of the Dragons is actually Rith, The Awakener. It saw a fair bit of play in Fires and No Fires decks back in the day!

    Invasion block was kinda weak as to avoid being full of power level mistakes like the two blocks which preceeded it (Combo Nightmare and Rebels/Free Spells: The Gathering, respectively), but there are a lot of cool cards in there! Even just looking at creatures I think there's a lot of cards...

    Big fan of this one! Super cool old-school card.

    I think it's fine if this card isn't up to Legacy standards, you'd have to push this a lot to get it there by virtue of the fact that it's abilities are all combat centric. But they could have at least pushed it above "Invasion Block Retail Draft" power level!

    This type of stuff is always upsetting to me. They're printing this card straight into Legacy. Why on earth is this a three mana 1/1!? I could maybe see arguments for setting the stats so low if it were going into Standard or retail limited, but it's not. The only places people will be able to...

    That sounds like a rules headache. Hopefully there's not a way to do that!

    To be fair, I think this is exactly the card people wanted. I was concerned the "Siege Rhino Reference" was going to be some eight mana legendary creature with 8 lines of text that amounted to nothing. Skirmish Rhino, by contrast, is a highly functional and awesome game peice.

    I’m going to be doing an interview with @Onderzeeboot on Cube Engineers to discuss his Heritage Cube. Are there any questions for him you would all like me to ask?

    It looks like the Jeskai theme for this set will actually be "Storm:"

    Siege Rhino is back and better than ever! Skirmish Rhino I like the fact that this one can be Unearthed. It could also receive a Helping Hand!

    The Marvel sets being legal in Standard is a bit suspect to me. I feel like they would be better served with Commander decks or something along those lines.

    I have not Cubed with either of these, but having seen them both played, I think Xavier is too narrow for a 3 color card, wheras Cayth ties in pretty well with a bunch of themes. I think she'd be better in Bant or Naya, but she's still cool in Jeskai.

    I don't know what's funnier: the fact that this is a perfect response to a Ravnic post or the fact that Ravnic did not leave that comment.

    Going into this spoiler season with a Khan-do attitude! This card seems ok. Is it just me or does Narset sort of look like a Pirate here?

    Why would the game be different? It doesn’t seem particularly abusable (so long as it only hits the *opponent’s* creatures for the Stuffy Doll combos).
