Oh boy I've just played with Drake Haven But I think I like this better than Faith If not because of my black zombie subtheme

Actually it is a Zombify that you can cast as a Raise Dead/Disentomb in madness mode. I am intrigued. This card makes me hyped for Kamigawa 2. I'll probably replace Silver Raven with it. That is cool. I want a creepy 6/6 Healer's Hawk doll. A very non-parasitic artifacts payoff.

Twinblade Geist however is a slam dunk for me! A nice body for Wx Equipment/Voltron decks. Pouncer was too much for me, so I am happy to either replace Kor Blademaster or if I can run it alongside. I was hoping for quite some time now to get Fencing Ace with small upside at uncommon again. There...

It is flexible as a 4drop and 7drop in one package, but it's also quite boring. No synergy potential at all. I'll happily play this in limited and stick with Deadbridge Goliath (and Vengevine) in cube.

DRC?

Tempo-2-drop with some graveyard synergies attached ... who wins? Nightveil Sprite Baithook Angler I like the Sprite's constant mill/card selection I like the ninjutsu/blink Hook-Haunt Drifter possibilities

That's a cool 1-drop. It can get a few hits in early and then start making wolves. Also potentially useful in non-aggro decks.

Carrion my Wayward Son is an aggressive {W/B} aristocrats deck. It wants to outtempo the opponent fast and brutally, but it has some staying power too thanks to it's great recursion. It's also stacked with good removal to clear some path's to victory.

That is for sure the most intriguing card so far for me.

I know there is a lot to come, but so far, this set hasn't got me hyped really. Disturb is back but in an weird way with a bad enchantment theme attached, Exploit and Training are kinda boring, filler mechanics. Blood tokens could be really good but I don't really like the flavor and it just...

And cube can actually be very cheap. Once you got a cube together, you don't even have to change anythying (purely theoretical of course).

Exactly. They make it a vampire themed card and then don't have the balls to have that white card make vampire tokens. Even with vamps in the art. Also, can we please stop the math discussion or outsource it somewhere else?

Sweet card. Although I am kinda unsure how a huge zombie scorpion eating a horse gives me card draw. Is it knowledge gained? Because I'm not sure I would even want to know anything about this procedure.

I never tested Neutralize, but it looks akward. When exactly are you cycling it? On turn two, just before it becomes a castable option? In the late game, where holding a hard counter can be a game winning move? I assume only when you're very far behind and desperately need to affect the board...

Sinister Sabotage has a pretty real upside for that extra mana. I am also a huge fan of Dissipate in every format with an above average focus on the graveyard. Feels so good to just get rid of something entirely when facing a grindy recursion deck. I also run a 4-mana counter in Dismiss. You...

Okay, I admit it's possible, but there are more enchantments that can remove any kind of nonland permanent, most instants/sorceries either can't or require something more specific (sacrifice a permanent, have multiple colors of mana available)

I've found white to be an akward color to support spells matter. It's removal suite is motly enchantments, especially when Swords and Path are too good for a given environment. And while some of the payoffs work with noncreature spells and not instant and sorceries, it would also force you to...

I would like 04 with Goyf and Feeder. I have to put both of these in both decks, right?

Maybe the mechanic is removing a creature type, explicitly the creature type vampire. That could showcase the healing from vampirism, you know, like removing the curse, turning back to human. That would be a way to have vampires in every color feel less weird (the vampire theme booster is...

That happens to all of us sometimes :)
